Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement for the separation of suspended solid ⁇ particles and / or solid fibers from solid-liquid mixtures by flotation. It can be used in flotation plants for wastewater treatment, in deinking plants or in water treatment in papermaking or paper recycling.
- a device for carrying out a procedural ⁇ proceedings for treating sludge in DE 42 01 913 A1, having such a compres sor ⁇ for introducing air into the liquid to be fumigated having such a compres sor ⁇ for introducing air into the liquid to be fumigated.
- DE 41 26397 A1 a device for generating foam is described, in which the air is injected into a mixing chamber of a foam generator by means of a controllable in its performance compressor.
- the mixing chamber in this case has a porous mixing chamber wall, through which the air supplied by the compressor is introduced into the fluid flowing behind the porous mixing chamber wall to be foamed fluid in a uniform distribution.
- US 4844873 A a plant for the separation and recovery of solids from a solid-liquid mixture by ionization flotation is described.
- This plant comprises a clarifier into which the solid liquid ⁇ keits mixture is introduced on the bottom side and foamed by the introduction of air bubbles.
- the solids bearing foam accumulating at the upper edge of the container is suitably removed from the clarifier while the solids liberated liquid is collected in a reservoir.
- the generation of the air bubbles necessary for the flotation process takes place in a venturi arrangement according to Venturi, as described for example in French patent application FR 2484862 A1.
- the diffuser assembly is located directly in the feed line of the solids-carrying liquid into the clarifier and is fed by this liquid with admixture of a portion of recovered solids-liberated liquid and atmospheric air.
- the blistering is thus predominantly in the range of the solid-liquid mixture in the inlet of the clarifier.
- the object is to develop an arrangement with which the required air bubble formation can be achieved wear within the loaded liquid with solids, which requires no compressors, fans or air pumps and therefore significantly reduced requires equipment and, above all, a reduced energy consumption.
- This object of the invention is achieved with an arrangement which has the features of the 1. Claim comprises.
- the subclaim contains an advantageous embodiment of the invention.
- the essence of the invention is that in the arrangement for the separation of suspended solids particles and / or solid fibers from solid-liquid mixtures instead of energy and maintenance-consuming compressors, blowers or pumps for air bubble generation, a diffuser is arranged, by means of which with low energy consumption Aspirating air into a partial stream of the liquid to be treated, the required air bubbles are generated, which is then introduced into the inlet of the container for the main process of liquid treatment.
- the air bubble generating diffuser is arranged so that it is not flowed through by the solid-liquid mixture, but that the bubble-forming injection process takes place exclusively in the flow area already frestofffrereiter recovered liquid.
- a substantially improved flotation effect in the sewage treatment or process vessel can be achieved by feeding an air bubble-liquid mixture produced using solids-freed reclaimed liquid into the solid-liquid mixture.
- the bubble generation in a solids-freed recovered liquid causes the flotation process a much larger amount of significantly smaller air bubbles is supplied.
- the bubble size can be significantly better controlled in such a bubble generation and driven into the area of the so-called microbubbles of about 0.001 mm bubble diameter. Flotation foams from such microbubbles are much more stable and more active and effective in their solids-binding properties and their transportability.
- Adhesion and transport capacity for the solid particles and / or solid fibers have therefore proved less suitable for the flotation process for the separation of suspended solid particles or solid fibers from solid-liquid mixtures.
- their production in the solids-laden The liquid region is much more energy-consuming than the microbubble generation in the flow area already freed liquid reclaimed liquid.
- Figure 1 a schematic diagram of a flotation plant for wastewater treatment according to the prior art and in
- Figure 2 a schematic diagram of a flotation plant for wastewater treatment according to the invention.
- a known flotation plant of the prior art has a main process vessel 1 into which wastewater laden with solid particles and / or solid fibers to be cleaned with the feed line 2 is introduced. So that the desired flotation effect can be achieved in the main process vessel 1, the incoming wastewater laden with solid particles and / or solid fibers is foamed by means of air bubble introduction.
- the flotation plant for wastewater treatment according to the prior art has an air mixing tank 3 in which compressed compressed air is mixed with water from a clear water tank 4 in the course of the main process tank 1 by a high-pressure compressor, not shown, and then the feed line 2 is supplied.
- a flotation plant according to the invention likewise has a main process vessel 1, into which wastewater laden with solid particles and / or solid fibers to be cleaned with the feed line 2 is introduced. So that the desired flotation effect can be achieved in Hauptreabehalter 1, the incoming wastewater laden with solid particles and / or solid fibers is also foamed by means of air bubble introduction.
- a diffusion Sor 5 arranged, namely within a line return 6 from the drain line of the main process vessel 1, which leads the liberated from the solid particles and / or solid fibers wastewater as clear water to the feed line 2 of the laden with solid particles and / or solid fibers wastewater.
- the diffuser 5 is used to generate the air bubbles already qualified for flotation, in which it sucks in air through its body through the air supply opening when flowing through the separated liquid portion of the clear water and adds air bubbles to the liquid portion of the clear water in this way.
- the outlet of the diffuser 5 is connected to the already mentioned feed line 2 of the main process vessel 1 in such a way that the resulting air bubbles are introduced into the feed stream 2 of the waste water loaded with solid particles and / or solid fibers in the feed stream 2.
- the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has the following operating data by way of example:
- the aeration data of the flotation plant of the prior art prior to the use of the arrangement according to the invention amounted to:
- the inlet to wastewater to the flotation plant is 12,000 l / min.
- a partial flow of the freed from the solid particles and / or solid fibers wastewater - also referred to as purified filtrate - of 2400 l / min - d. H. 20% of the treated flow rate - needed.
- This amount is pressed with a pump 7 with a capacity of 150 kW at a pressure of 1 bar in the air mixing tank 3 and mixed with incoming compressed air of 10 bar.
- the flowing purified filtrate in the air mixing tank 3 absorbs air in a ratio of 1: 1.
- the inventive arrangement shown in Figure 2 has the following Bacpara ⁇ meter: From the filtrate 8, a partial stream of freed from the solid particles and / or solid fibers wastewater of 500 l / min to the inlet of the diffuser 5, After the diffuser 5 is this partial flow is introduced into the supply line 2 to the flotation plant. With the diffuser 5 is at a flow rate of 500 l / min freed of the solid particles and / or solid fibers Abwas ⁇ sers and at least 1, 5 bar differential pressure an air intake of 5000 l / min reached. The inlet pressure in the diffuser inlet is 2 bar. With this pressure, the diffuser consumes only 3.5 kW of installed electrical power at a flow rate of 500 l / min. The theoretical energy saving over the arrangement of the prior art shown in Figure 1 is 98% and can be approximately achieved in practice.
- an exemplary arrangement has been described in an example ⁇ haften application.
- the invention includes all other arrangements with under defenceiichen process apparatuses in which by means of the inventive arrangement of a diffuser, an air bubble generation in liquids to be treated is made waiving compressors, blowers and pumps.
- the arrangement of a diffuser in the flow area of a freed from the Feststoffparti- and / or solid fibers wastewater can be used in all physical processes in which air fractions are required in liquids, such as in the flotation of solid-liquid mixtures, the aeration of waste water or the mud conditioning.
- very large energy savings can be achieved in which it is possible to dispense with compressors, blowers and pumps. In most cases, energy savings of more than 90% are conceivable and realistic.
- By a uniform dispersion of the air bubbles generated with the diffuser 5 and an injection of chemicals in the air intake of the diffuser 5 is possible. In such applications, considerable reductions in the consumption of chemicals are achieved.
- the arrangement of the invention for the separation of suspended solid particles and / or solid fibers of solid-liquid ⁇ keits mixtures can be used by flotation in paper production, in particular in the flotation water treatment in circuits of Flotati ⁇ onsanlagen and deinking plants.
