Definitions
- the subject of the invention is a method for treating fluids containing particles in suspension.
- these particles can consist of aerosols, fine powders, ash, etc.
- gases containing suspended particles of this type are found in the interior atmospheres of nuclear or non-nuclear installations, for example in reactors, factories and laboratories, in incineration plants for radioactive or non-radioactive waste , in liquid drying installations and in any installation containing dust.
- the particles can be constituted by insoluble materials such as fine powders, for example metal oxide powders, colloidal particles, etc.
- liquids containing particles of this type in suspension include liquid effluents and discharges produced in nuclear power plants, nuclear plants and many industrial installations.
- the present invention specifically relates to a process for treating fluids containing particles in suspension, which overcomes the drawbacks of the processes mentioned above.
- the fluid to be treated is subjected to a treatment cycle which comprises a filtration step to extract a part of the fluid in the purified state and a separation step to extract a part of the particles present in suspension in the fluid, starting the treatment cycle, either by the filtration step or by the separation step, and the fluid depleted in particles from the separation step or the enriched fluid is subjected in particles from the filtration step to a new treatment cycle after adding the fluid to be treated.
- the choice of the first step depends in particular on the particle concentration of the fluid to be treated.
- the porous and permeable walls of the filtration device are generally constituted by tubes inside which the fluid to be enriched in particles is circulated.
- these tubes internally delimit the first compartment of the filtration device.
- the method of the invention has many advantages for the treatment of liquids and gases laden with particles in suspension.
- the volume of radioactive or toxic waste to be treated is limited since these are recovered in the form of a particle concentrate during the separation step.
- the means for circulating the fluid to be treated in the treatment loop are arranged relative to the means for introducing the fluid to be treated in such a way that the fluid circulates successively in the filtration device and in the filtration device. separation of particles, or vice versa.
- the porous and permeable walls of the filtration device consist of tubes which internally delimit the first compartment.
- other types of walls can be used, for example porous plates.
- the filtration device used in the invention may consist of an ultrafiltration module comprising a plurality of porous tubes arranged parallel to one another, as in the modules used for the concentration and separation of the constituents present in a liquid.
- the particle separation device can be constituted by a conventional device, for example by an electrostatic filter, an impact or baffle dust collector, a decanter, etc.
- a cyclone separator or a hydrocyclone is used, that is to say a purely static device which uses centrifugal force to extract from a gas stream or from a liquid stream, a fraction enriched in particles.
- the treatment loop 1 comprises a filtration device 3 separated into a first compartment 3a and a second compartment 3b by porous and permeable tubes 3c, and a separation device 5 connected, d on the one hand, at one end of the first compartment 3a by a pipe 7 provided with a valve 9 and, on the other hand, at the other end of the first compartment 3a by a pipe 11 provided with a valve 13 and a circulation pump 15.
- the fluid to be treated can be introduced into the treatment loop 1 through line 17 provided with the valve 19.
- the purified fluid in the filtration device 3 can be extracted through line 21 provided with the valve 23 and the particles separated in the separation device 5 can be extracted via line 25.
- the fluid to be treated for example gas
- the fluid to be treated is introduced into the treatment loop 1 through the line 17; this is driven by the circulator 15 in the filtration device 3 in which a pressure difference has been established between the compartments 3a and 3b in order to be able to extract from this device gas purified by line 21 and gas enriched in particles by line 7; this enriched gas is then introduced into the separation device 5 which can be constituted by a cyclone separator in which a part of the particles is separated from the gas stream so as to deplete it and to be recycled via line 11 in the separation device 3 gas whose particle concentration is not too high in order to avoid clogging of the porous tubes 3c.
- This gas is subjected to a new treatment cycle after it has been added via line 17 of the fluid to be treated.
- the pipe 17 provided with the valve 19 is replaced by the pipe 17 ⁇ provided with the valve 19 ⁇ shown in dotted lines, which makes it possible to introduce the fluid upstream of the separation device 5 to begin the treatment cycle by the separation step instead of the filtration step 3.
- the flow rates and pressures are adjusted by means of the valves 9, 13, 19 and 23 according to the nature of the fluid to be treated in order to obtain in particular in the filtration device 3 a flow of the fluid at high speed with strong turbulence in the tubes 3c in order to avoid the deposition of particles on the walls of the tubes.
- the flow introduced by the valve 19 and the pipe 17 corresponds substantially to the flow withdrawn by the pipe 21 provided with the valve 23.
- porous tubes 3c used in the filtration device are chosen according to the nature of the fluid to be treated.
- These porous tubes can be produced in metallic material, ceramic, for example alumina, or plastic. It is also possible to use tubes comprising a macroporous support internally coated with a miroporous layer, for example carbon tubes coated with a layer of ZrO2. Tubes of this type are described, for example, in American patent 4,341,631 and in European patent 0,040,282. The characteristics of the tubes are also chosen as a function of the fluid to be treated. Generally, tubes with average pore radii of 0.01 to 5 ⁇ m and high permeability are used.
- the treatment loop described above can be used for the treatment of gases or liquids laden with particles.
- the operating conditions of a gas treatment loop and a liquid treatment loop are given below.
- Porous metal tubes with an internal diameter of 15 mm, a thickness of 0.25 mm and an average pore radius of 1 ⁇ m are used, and a pressure difference of 10 kPa (100 mbar) is established between the two compartments of the filtration device.
- the diffused flow withdrawn through the pipe 21 can be from 10 to 300 m3 per hour and per m2 of porous wall and the recirculation flow in the pipe 7 represents approximately 4 times the diffused flow.
- the additional flow of fluid to be treated introduced by line 17 corresponds to the diffused flow.
- an installation of this type may be suitable for treating 10 to 300 m3 / h.m2 of porous wall.
- porous carbon tubes coated with a layer of microporous zirconia are used, the tubes have an internal diameter of 6 mm and a thickness of 2 mm, and the average pore radius of the microporous layer is 0.01. ⁇ m.
- the particle separation device 5 can be a cyclone, but the deconcentration into particles effected by the cyclone varies according to the size of these particles. Therefore, under steady state, a certain enrichment of the recycled gas is obtained. Indeed, for particles of 5 ⁇ m, the efficiency of a conventional cyclone is generally 50% and the enrichment of the gas in particles is at most double the rate of particles at the entrance of the loop. When the particles in suspension have dimensions of the order of 1 ⁇ m, the yield of the cyclone is generally 25% and the enrichment corresponds in this case to 4 times the initial rate of particles at the entry of the treatment loop.
- the device 5 can be constituted by a hydroseparator or a hydrocyclone which makes it possible to evacuate sludge through the pipe 25.
- FIG 2 there is shown a flash drying installation of radioactive effluents implementing the method of the invention.
- the effluents to be treated are stored in the tank 30 which is equipped with a pipe 31 and a circulation pump 32, an in-line pH regulation system 34 and an injection device of insolubilization products 36.
- a pipe 38 provided with a positive displacement pump 40 makes it possible to inject into a flash drying reactor 42 the effluents coming from the tank 30.
- air 43 is introduced via the pipe hot which is sucked through a filter 44 by a booster 46 and is heated in a heater 48.
- the liquid effluents are evaporated by hot air and they are cooled at the outlet of the reactor in the dilution box 50 by quenching air which is introduced through line 52 after being cooled in an exchanger 54.
- the mixture leaving the dilution box 50 is therefore constituted by air loaded with powders or grains and this mixture is then treated by the process of the invention in the loop 56 provided with a cyclone separator 58, a circulation fan 60 and a filtration device 62, the direction of circulation in the treatment loop being indicated in the diagram.
- the air charged with powders and dust is thus first introduced into the cyclone 58 where a part of the powders is separated and collected in the lock 64 while the gas depleted in particles is taken up by the fan 60, then introduced in the filtration device 62 from which purified air is evacuated via line 66, the air enriched with particles being recycled into cyclone 58 with an additional air charged with dust coming from the flash reactor 42.
- the purified air leaving the filtration device via line 66 is sucked in by pump 68 and it can be discharged into the atmosphere after passing through the safety filters 70.
- this installation makes it possible to transform the liquid effluents into powders which are introduced directly, by the method of the invention, into a waste conditioning installation.
- the volume of the waste is limited and its packaging is carried out continuously under good conditions.
- FIG 3 there is shown an alternative embodiment of the installation of Figure 2 and we used the same references to designate the components common to both installations.
- the air stream charged with dust and radioactive powders coming from the dilution box 50 is first introduced into a cyclone 57 inside which a part of the solids is separated at 59.
- the stream of gas leaving the hydrocyclone is then introduced into the treatment loop 56 via line 61 and brought into circulation by the fan 60 in the filtration device 62 then in the cyclone separator 58; the gas stream leaving the cyclone separator is recycled by the fan 60 into the filtration device 62.
- a stream of purified gas is extracted from the filtration device 62.
- the solid particles separated in the cyclone separator 58 can be recycled via line 80 into the dilution box 50 by means of an air current which constitutes the quenching air and which is sucked by the fan 81 through the filter 83.
- a first cyclone 57 is used to separate the major part of the particles coming from the drying reactor 42 and the process of the invention is then used, namely the loop 56 comprising the cyclone 58 and the filtration device 62, for purifying the gas and rejecting via the pipe 66 purified gas.
- FIG 4 there is shown an installation for processing liquids containing radioactive particles.
- This installation comprises a tank 91 for storing the liquid to be treated connected by a pipe 93 provided with a pump 94 to a treatment loop 95 comprising a circulation pump 96, a filtration device 98 and a hydrocyclone 100.
- a pipe 102 allows extracting the purified liquid leaving the filtration device 98 and it is connected via a two-way valve 104, either to a compressed air accumulator 106, or to a pipe 108 for discharging the purified liquid.
- the sludge separated in the hydrocyclone 100 can be stored in the storage pot 110 and then evacuated by the line 112 provided with a valve 114 in a storage tank 116 which can be connected by a line 118 provided with a valve 120 to a drying or coating plant for waste.
- the liquid to be treated is first of all subjected to filtration in the filtration device 98, then the separation of the solid particles contained in the concentrated liquid in the hydrocyclone 100.
- the Deconcentrated liquid leaving hydrocyclone 100 is recycled with liquid to be treated by pump 96 in filtration device 98.
- valve 104 is tilted to put line 102 into communication with compressed air accumulator 106 and the valve 114 is opened simultaneously. This makes it possible to ensure a brief counter-current through the porous tubes of the device 98 and to detach the polarization layer which would tend to progressively slow down the flow inside the tubes of the device.
- the valve 104 is returned to its initial position, but after having closed the valve 114 in order to reinflate the accumulator 106.
- FIG 5 there is shown an alternative embodiment of the installation of Figure 4.
- the tank 91 is part of the treatment loop 95.
- the liquid to be treated which is in the tank 91 is introduced and put into circulation by the pump 96 in the filtration device 98 then in the hydrocyclone 100.
- the deconcentrated liquid leaving hydrocyclone 100 is recycled via the storage tank 91 in the filtration device 98.
- a compressed air accumulator 106 is also provided, connected by means of a two-way valve 104 to the extraction pipe 102 of the purified liquid, and a timer is also used to switch the valve at regular intervals. 104 and open the valve 114, the latter being closed slightly before the valve 104 is rocked, to ensure, as before, the re-inflation of the accumulator.
