Description

  The present invention relates to a purification system for volatile organic compound-contaminated soil that detoxifies volatile organic compounds in contaminated soil using ultrasonic waves, and a purification method therefor.

  Conventionally, volatile organic compounds (VOC) have been widely used in solvents, adhesives, cleaning agents, and the like. However, many of these VOCs are highly toxic, and are known to cause photochemical smog and suspended particulate matter in the atmosphere.

  VOCs discharged during factory operation are accumulated and concentrated in the contaminated soil of the factory site, and there is concern about causing health damage via groundwater and air. For this reason, the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Law was enacted in February 2003, and the Air Pollution Control Law was revised in June 2004 to strengthen VOC emission standards. Therefore, it is desired to decontaminate contaminated soil such as factory ruins and recycle it as purified soil containing no VOC.

  As the VOC treatment in soil, purification methods such as physical / chemical treatment, heat treatment, biological treatment (bioremediation), etc. are known. For physical and chemical treatments, there is a method of decomposing with ultraviolet rays and oxidizing agents (oxidation-reduction decomposition treatment), classification washing with particles, separation with high-pressure water and surfactant (soil washing treatment), and a suction well. There are methods for separating into gas (gas suction, aeration treatment) and the like. For heat treatment, a method of volatile separation at 200 ° C. to 600 ° C. (thermal desorption treatment), a method of incineration at 800 ° C. to 1000 ° C. (thermal decomposition treatment), a method of melting at a high temperature of 1200 ° C. or more (melt solidification treatment), etc. There is. Biological treatment includes methods of degrading with bacteria at contaminated sites or above-ground plants.

  FIG. 3 shows a schematic configuration of a purification system 91 using a vacuum suction method as an example of the prior art. The purification system 91 includes a gas / liquid separation tank 92, a blower 93, and an activated carbon tank 94. The gas-liquid separation tank 92 is connected to an extraction well 95 provided in the contaminated soil via a pipe 96, and sucks soil gas and contaminated groundwater from the extraction well 95 by driving the blower 93. Then, the soil gas and moisture are separated in the gas-liquid separation tank 92, and the separated soil gas is sent to the activated carbon tank 94 through the pipe 97. The activated carbon tank 94 is provided with a filter material 98 made of activated carbon, and allows the soil gas to pass through the filter material 98. As a result, the VOC contained in the soil gas is adsorbed by the activated carbon, and the purified air from which the VOC has been removed is exhausted outside the apparatus.

  Moreover, the technique which purifies contaminated soil is also disclosed by patent documents 1-3. More specifically, Patent Document 1 discloses a soil purification method in which mud water obtained by mixing contaminated soil mixed with VOC and water is aerated to volatilize VOC from the soil. . In patent document 2, the purification method which heats contaminated soil, extracts the gas containing VOC, and decomposes | disassembles the VOC with ozone is disclosed. In this method, combined use of ultraviolet irradiation and addition of hydrogen peroxide increases the oxidizing power and enhances the decomposition efficiency of VOC. In Patent Document 3, a well for sucking contaminated air is provided in soil, the contaminated air is sucked using a vacuum pump, and VOC contained in the contaminated air is removed by an adsorption device made of activated carbon. A purification method has been proposed.

  Furthermore, in recent years, a cleaning apparatus that cleans contaminated soil using ultrasonic waves (see, for example, Patent Document 4) and a processing apparatus that renders VOCs contained in an aqueous solution harmless by using ultrasonic waves (for example, see Patent Document 5). ) Has been proposed.

  In the purification apparatus described in Patent Document 4, water is supplied to the contaminated soil to perform ultrasonic cleaning, and further, ultrasonic cleaning is performed while circulating the washed slurry-like soil, thereby purifying the contaminated soil. is doing.

In the processing apparatus described in Patent Document 5, a catalytic material made of a basic metal salt is added to an aqueous solution containing VOC, and ultrasonic waves with a relatively low frequency (for example, 20 kHz to 100 kHz) are irradiated. When ultrasonic waves are irradiated in an aqueous solution, bubbles called cavitation are generated, and a reaction field of several thousand degrees and several thousand atmospheres called a hot spot is locally formed through compression and collapse processes. And it is thought that VOC is thermally decomposed in this extreme reaction field.

By the way, in the purification method of patent documents 1-3, it is difficult to comprise a purification system so that the extracted VOC may not leak outside, and there are concerns about air pollution etc. Furthermore, when the extracted VOC is adsorbed on activated carbon or the like to be processed, there is a problem that the cost is increased because the activated carbon is discarded. Further, when the soil purification method by heat treatment is adopted, there are problems that the equipment becomes large and cannot be purified at the site such as a factory site, and that the running cost of the equipment becomes high. Furthermore, a biological treatment or a purification method in which a suction well is provided and separated into gas is not practical because the treatment time becomes long. Specifically, for example, when purifying 100 m ³ of contaminated soil from 50 times the environmental standard value to below the environmental standard value by using the conventional purification system 91 shown in FIG. Is required. In addition, in order to operate the purification system 91, a work period is required for digging the extraction well 95 in the soil and installing the treatment tanks 92 and 94, the pipes 96 and 97, and the like.

  Moreover, in the purification apparatus of patent document 4, since the ultrasonic wave of a comparatively low frequency (20kHz-40kHz) is irradiated, contaminated soil can be purified efficiently. However, since the harmful substances contained in the cleaning water cannot be decomposed, a separate drainage treatment for the cleaning water is required.

  For example, if a purification system is comprised by the purification apparatus of patent document 4, and the processing apparatus of patent document 5, and the washing water discharged | emitted by the purification apparatus of patent document 4 is processed with the treatment apparatus of patent document 5, it will become washing water. It is possible to decompose the harmful substances contained. However, in the processing apparatus of Patent Document 5, since the decomposition process of the organic compound is performed by adding a catalyst substance, the processing cost increases. Furthermore, the purification system has a complicated configuration and becomes a large-scale system, which causes a problem that the equipment cost increases.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a volatile organic compound-contaminated soil purification system and a purification method thereof capable of efficiently and quickly purifying contaminated soil. There is to do.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention described in claim 1 has a washing tank in which a mixture of contaminated soil containing volatile organic compounds and washing water is placed, and the mixture is irradiated with ultrasonic waves of less than 100 kHz. An ultrasonic cleaning device for extracting volatile organic compounds from the contaminated soil side to the cleaning water side by cleaning the contaminated soil, and a decomposition tank for storing the cleaning water discharged from the ultrasonic cleaning device, A volatile organic compound-contaminated soil purification system comprising an ultrasonic decomposition device that decomposes and detoxifies volatile organic compounds by irradiating ultrasonic waves of 100 kHz or higher into the washing water. The gist.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, when a relatively low ultrasonic wave of less than 100 kHz is irradiated into a mixture of contaminated soil containing volatile organic compounds and cleaning water in the cleaning tank of the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus. The ultrasonic waves act on the soil particles in the mixture, and the contaminated soil is washed by the vibrational energy of the ultrasonic waves. At that time, volatile organic compounds contained in the contaminated soil are extracted to the washing water side. On the other hand, when a relatively high ultrasonic wave of 100 kHz or higher is irradiated into the cleaning water in the decomposition tank of the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus, cavitation (bubbles) is generated in the cleaning water, and a high-temperature and high-pressure reaction field is formed. The Here, since the volatile organic compound is hydrophobic, it spontaneously gathers around the cavitation (interface between the washing water and the bubbles), and further volatilizes and enters the cavitation. As a result, the volatile organic compound can be thermally decomposed and rendered harmless by the action of a high-temperature and high-pressure reaction field. Therefore, in the purification system of the present invention, the volatile organic compound extracted from the contaminated soil can be detoxified without using an additive such as a special drug, and the washed soil can be reused. Moreover, in this purification system, it is possible to irradiate ultrasonic waves having a frequency suitable for each of the contaminated soil cleaning treatment and the volatile organic compound decomposition treatment, so that the soil purification treatment is efficiently performed in a short time. This can reduce the running cost of the purification system.

  In addition, as a volatile organic compound in this invention, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, etc. can be mentioned.

  Invention of Claim 2 is provided in the middle of the supply path which supplies cleaning water to the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus from the said ultrasonic cleaning apparatus in Claim 1, and the soil particle and cleaning water which are contained in the said cleaning water, The gist of the invention is that it further comprises a solid-liquid separation device for separating the liquid.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to separate the soil particles and the washing water by the solid-liquid separator and introduce the washing water from which the soil particles are removed into the decomposition tank of the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus. Accordingly, ultrasonic waves can be efficiently propagated into the cleaning water in the decomposition tank, and more cavitation effective for the decomposition of volatile organic compounds can be generated. Therefore, the volatile organic compound can be efficiently decomposed.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the passage according to claim 2, wherein at least one of the wash water discharged from the decomposition tank and the wash water separated by the solid-liquid separator is returned to the wash tank, The gist of the invention is that it includes a liquid pumping means provided on the passage.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the washing water discharged from the decomposition tank is returned to the washing tank, the washing water can be reused to wash new contaminated soil. Can be reduced. Moreover, the density | concentration of the volatile organic compound in washing water can be raised by returning the washing water isolate | separated with the solid-liquid separator to a washing tank, and reusing. Therefore, the volatile organic compound can be efficiently decomposed by ultrasonic irradiation. Further, in this case, the processing efficiency of the entire system can be improved by performing the cleaning process of the contaminated soil a plurality of times during the decomposition process of the volatile organic compound.

  In the invention according to claim 4, the contaminated soil is washed from the contaminated soil side by irradiating the mixture of the contaminated soil containing the volatile organic compound and the washing water with ultrasonic waves of less than 100 kHz to wash the contaminated soil. A cleaning step for extracting a volatile organic compound, and a decomposition step for decomposing and detoxifying the volatile organic compound by irradiating the cleaning water discharged in the cleaning step with ultrasonic waves of 100 kHz or higher. The gist of the present invention is a purification method for soil contaminated with volatile organic compounds.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, when a relatively low ultrasonic wave of less than 100 kHz is irradiated into the mixture of the contaminated soil containing the volatile organic compound and the cleaning water in the cleaning process, the ultrasonic wave is mixed. It acts on the soil particles inside, and the contaminated soil is washed by the vibrational energy of the ultrasonic waves. At that time, volatile organic compounds contained in the contaminated soil are extracted to the washing water side. In the decomposition step, when relatively high ultrasonic waves of 100 kHz or higher are irradiated into the cleaning water, cavitation (bubbles) is generated in the cleaning water, and a high-temperature and high-pressure reaction field is formed. Here, since the volatile organic compound is hydrophobic, it spontaneously gathers around the cavitation (interface between the washing water and the bubbles), and further volatilizes and enters the cavitation. As a result, the volatile organic compound can be thermally decomposed and rendered harmless by the action of a high-temperature and high-pressure reaction field. Therefore, according to this purification method, the volatile organic compound extracted from the contaminated soil can be rendered harmless without using an additive such as a special drug, and the washed soil can be reused. In addition, because it is possible to irradiate ultrasonic waves with a frequency suitable for each treatment in the cleaning treatment of contaminated soil and the decomposition treatment of volatile organic compounds, the soil purification treatment can be performed efficiently in a short time. The running cost of the system can be reduced.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the contaminated soil is washed from the contaminated soil side by irradiating the mixture of the contaminated soil containing the volatile organic compound and the wash water with ultrasonic waves of less than 100 kHz. Separated in the washing step for extracting the volatile organic compound, the solid-liquid separation step for separating the soil particles and the washing water contained in the washing water discharged in the washing step, and the solid-liquid separation step A concentration step for increasing the concentration of the volatile organic compound contained in the washing water by reusing at least a part of the washing water in the washing step, and 100 kHz or more in the washing water in which the volatile organic compound is concentrated The gist of the present invention is a purification method for volatile organic compound-contaminated soil, comprising a decomposition step of decomposing and detoxifying the volatile organic compound by irradiating the ultrasonic wave.

  According to the invention described in claim 5, in the cleaning step, when a relatively low ultrasonic wave of less than 100 kHz is irradiated into the mixture of the contaminated soil containing the volatile organic compound and the cleaning water, the ultrasonic wave is mixed. It acts on the soil particles inside, and the contaminated soil is washed by the vibrational energy of the ultrasonic waves. At that time, volatile organic compounds contained in the contaminated soil are extracted to the washing water side. And in a solid-liquid separation process, the soil particle and washing water which are contained in washing water are separated. Furthermore, in the concentration step, at least a part of the washing water separated in the solid-liquid separation step is reused in the washing step, and the concentration of the volatile organic compound contained in the washing water is increased. Thereafter, in the decomposition step, when relatively high ultrasonic waves of 100 kHz or higher are irradiated into the wash water enriched with volatile organic compounds, cavitation (bubbles) is generated in the wash water, and a high temperature / high pressure reaction field is formed. The volatile organic compound can be reliably decomposed and detoxified by the action of the reaction field. Therefore, according to this purification method, the volatile organic compound extracted from the contaminated soil can be rendered harmless without using an additive such as a special drug, and the washed soil can be reused. In addition, because it is possible to irradiate ultrasonic waves with a frequency suitable for each treatment in the cleaning treatment of contaminated soil and the decomposition treatment of volatile organic compounds, the soil purification treatment can be performed efficiently in a short time. The running cost of the system can be reduced. Moreover, in this purification method, since the contaminated soil washing process can be performed a plurality of times during the volatile organic compound decomposition process, the treatment efficiency can be improved.

  As described in detail above, according to the first to fifth aspects of the present invention, contaminated soil containing a volatile organic compound can be purified efficiently and in a short time.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is embodied in a purification system for volatile organic compound-contaminated soil will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration showing the contaminated soil purification system.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the purification system 1 of the present embodiment includes a hopper 2, an ultrasonic cleaning device 3, a solid-liquid separation device 4, an ultrasonic decomposition device 5, a drain tank 6, and a control device 7. This contaminated soil purification system 1 purifies contaminated soil containing a volatile organic compound (VOC) such as trichlorethylene (TCE) at a contaminated site such as a factory site, and decomposes VOC extracted from the contaminated soil to be harmless. It is a system to make it. The purification system 1 is a portable system that can be mounted on a vehicle 8 such as a truck. Of course, the purification system 1 may be a fixed system that is not particularly intended for conveyance.

  Specifically, the contaminated soil E1 excavated by an unillustrated excavator is put into the hopper 2, mixed with the hopper 2, and then supplied to the ultrasonic cleaning device 3.

  The ultrasonic cleaning apparatus 3 includes a cleaning tank 31 into which a mixture (muddy water) of the contaminated soil E1 and the cleaning water W1, a stirrer 32 that stirs the contaminated soil E1 and the cleaning water W1 in the cleaning tank 31, and cleaning. An ultrasonic transducer 33 that irradiates the cleaning water W1 in the tank 31 with ultrasonic waves and an oscillation circuit 34 for driving the ultrasonic transducer 33 are provided. The washing tank 31 of the present embodiment has a capacity of 110 liters, and, for example, 10 kg of contaminated soil E1 and 100 liters of washing water W1 are placed in one washing process. And by stirring with the stirrer 32, soil particles are disperse | distributed in the washing water W1. In addition, as the cleaning water W1 supplied to the cleaning tank 31 of the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus 3, inexpensive water such as tap water is used. Of course, use of water other than tap water (for example, rainwater, seawater, etc.) is allowed.

  The ultrasonic transducer 33 is made of a plate-shaped piezoelectric ceramic, and outputs the ultrasonic wave 10 having a low frequency (specifically, 20 kHz) in the thickness direction of the ultrasonic transducer 33 based on the oscillation signal of the oscillation circuit 34. In the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus 3 of the present embodiment, a plurality of ultrasonic transducers 33 are provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 31, and the ultrasonic waves 10 are irradiated upward from each ultrasonic transducer 33. At this time, the ultrasonic wave 10 acts on the soil particles in the washing water W1, and the contaminated soil E1 is ultrasonically cleaned by the vibration energy of the ultrasonic wave 10. At that time, VOC is extracted from the contaminated soil E1 side to the wash water W1 side.

  The solid-liquid separation device 4 is provided in the middle of a supply pipe 40 as a supply passage for supplying the cleaning water W <b> 1 from the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 to the ultrasonic decomposition device 5. The solid-liquid separation device 4 includes a cylindrical separation tank 41 and a filter body 42 provided at the center of the separation tank 41. A supply pump 43 is provided in the supply pipe 40 that connects the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 and the solid-liquid separation device 4. When the supply pump 43 is driven, the cleaning water W1 is pumped from the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 to the solid-liquid separation device 4, and the cleaning water W1 passes through the filter body 42 in the solid-liquid separation device 4. Thus, the soil particles and the washing water W1 are separated. The soil E2 separated in the solid-liquid separation device 4 is drained from the discharge port 44 to the outside of the device after moisture is removed by a dryer (not shown) and reused as purified soil containing no VOC.

  A flow path switching valve 46 is provided in the middle of the supply pipe 40 connecting the solid-liquid separator 4 and the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5. The flow path switching valve 46 is further connected to the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 via a circulation pipe 47. The flow path switching valve 46 is a valve for switching the flow path of the cleaning water W1 to the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus 3 side or the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 side, and ultrasonically cleans the cleaning water W1 discharged from the solid-liquid separation apparatus 4. This is supplied to either the apparatus 3 or the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5.

  Specifically, first, the flow path of the cleaning water W1 is switched to the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus 3 side by the flow path switching valve 46. In this case, the cleaning water W1 separated by the solid-liquid separator 4 is returned to the ultrasonic cleaner 3 and reused. That is, the contaminated soil E1 newly supplied from the hopper 2 is washed again by the washing water W1, and the VOC concentration in the washing water W1 is increased. Then, when the predetermined number of preset cleaning operations (for example, 20 times) have been completed, the flow path of the cleaning water W1 is switched to the ultrasonic decomposing apparatus 5 side by the flow path switching valve 46. As a result, the cleaning water W <b> 1 having an increased VOC concentration is supplied to the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5.

  The ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 includes a decomposition tank 51 into which the cleaning water W1 separated by the solid-liquid separation apparatus 4 is placed, a first ultrasonic vibrator 52 that irradiates the cleaning water W1 in the decomposition tank 51 with ultrasonic waves 10, and A second ultrasonic transducer 53 and an oscillation circuit 54 for driving the ultrasonic transducers 52 and 53 are provided.

  The decomposition tank 51 is formed in a box shape that forms a rectangular parallelepiped, and has a capacity of 100 liters, for example. A plurality of first ultrasonic transducers 52 are provided outside the bottom surface of the decomposition tank 51, and a plurality of second ultrasonic transducers 53 are provided outside the side surface of the decomposition tank 51. Each of the ultrasonic vibrators 52 and 53 is made of a plate-shaped piezoelectric ceramic, and outputs the ultrasonic wave 10 having a high frequency (specifically, 500 kHz) in the thickness direction thereof based on the oscillation signal of the oscillation circuit 54. . Therefore, the ultrasonic wave 10 is irradiated from below (first direction) toward the cleaning water W <b> 1 in the decomposition tank 51 by the first ultrasonic vibrator 52. Further, the ultrasonic wave 10 is irradiated from the side (second direction) toward the cleaning water W <b> 1 by the second ultrasonic vibrator 53 so as to be orthogonal to the ultrasonic wave 10.

  The decomposition tank 51 in the present embodiment is provided with a partition plate 56 that partitions the inside of the tank and divides it vertically. Here, a plate material (for example, an acrylic resin plate) having a thickness of ½ of the wavelength of the ultrasonic wave 10 is used as the partition plate 56. Specifically, since the wavelength of the ultrasonic wave 10 having a frequency of 500 kHz is about 3 mm, an acrylic resin plate having a thickness of about 1.5 mm is used here. The acrylic resin plate having such a thickness also has desired rigidity and strength required for the partition plate 56. Therefore, even if water pressure is applied during use, deformation and destruction are unlikely to occur. Further, by using the partition plate 56 having a thickness of ½ of the wavelength, the ultrasonic wave 10 is transmitted through the partition plate 56 and efficiently propagated to the upper region.

  In the decomposition tank 51 partitioned by the partition plate 56, the upper half area is a primary treatment chamber 57 in which the treatment of the cleaning water W <b> 1 by the ultrasonic wave 10 is first performed, and the lower half area is the ultrasonic wave 10. Is a secondary treatment chamber 58 in which the treatment of the cleaning water W1 is performed next. Further, when the first ultrasonic transducer 52 provided on the bottom surface of the decomposition tank 51 is used as a reference, the secondary processing chamber 58 is closer to the first ultrasonic transducer 52 and the primary processing chamber 57 is the first. 1 Located far from the ultrasonic transducer 52. Further, on the side surface of the decomposition tank 51, the second ultrasonic transducer 53 is provided at a position corresponding to the primary processing chamber 57 and the secondary processing chamber 58.

  Connected to the primary processing chamber 57 of the decomposition tank 51 is a supply pipe 40 for supplying the cleaning water W <b> 1 from the solid-liquid separator 4 into the primary processing chamber 57. On the other hand, a discharge pipe 61 for discharging the cleaning water W <b> 1 from the inside of the secondary processing chamber 58 is connected to the secondary processing chamber 58 of the decomposition tank 51. A transfer pipe 62 is provided outside the decomposition tank 51 as a passage for communicating between the primary processing chamber 57 and the secondary processing chamber 58. One end of the transfer pipe 62 is connected to the upper part of the side surface of the primary processing chamber 57, and the other end is connected to the upper part of the side surface of the secondary processing chamber 58.

  When the flow path of the flow path switching valve 46 provided in the middle of the supply pipe 40 is switched to the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 side, the cleaning water W1 first enters the primary treatment chamber 57 through the supply pipe 40 into the decomposition tank 51. Supplied. In the primary processing chamber 57, the VOC in the cleaning water W1 is decomposed by irradiating the ultrasonic wave 10 so as to be orthogonal from below and from the side. Next, the cleaning water W1 in the primary processing chamber 57 is supplied into the secondary processing chamber 58 via the transfer pipe 62, and the ultrasonic waves 10 are also irradiated there from the lower side and the side. The VOC in the cleaning water W1 is decomposed. Thereafter, the cleaning water W <b> 1 in the secondary treatment chamber 58 is discharged from the decomposition tank 51 to the drain tank 6 through the discharge pipe 61.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, an agitator 65 for agitating the cleaning water W <b> 1 of the primary treatment chamber 57 is provided in the upper part of the decomposition tank 51. The stirrer 65 includes a motor 66 fixed to the upper surface of the decomposition tank 51 and a stirring member (propeller) 67 connected to the rotation shaft of the motor 66. Rotates and stirs the washing water W1. Since the stirring member 67 of the stirrer 65 is disposed in the vicinity of the surface facing the surface on which the second ultrasonic transducer 53 is provided in the decomposition tank 51, the stirring member 67 is located away from the second ultrasonic transducer 53. . Therefore, unlike the case where the stirring member 67 is in a position close to the second ultrasonic transducer 53, the stirring member 67 does not interfere with the propagation of the ultrasonic wave 10, and thus in the cleaning water W <b> 1 in the primary treatment chamber 57. The ultrasonic wave 10 can be propagated uniformly.

  In addition, an air layer A1 exists above the decomposition tank 51, that is, above the cleaning water W1 in the primary treatment chamber 57.

  A circulation pipe 68 as a passage for returning the cleaning water W1 to the cleaning tank 31 is connected to the drain tank 6. In the middle of the circulation pipe 68, a pump 69 as a liquid pressure feeding means and a flow path switching valve 70 are provided. The cleaning water W1 once stored in the drainage tank 6 is pumped through the circulation pipe 68 by the pump 69 and returned to the cleaning tank 31 through the flow path switching valve 70 to be reused for the cleaning process or the sewage Or drained into the sewer.

  The control device 7 includes a well-known microcomputer including a CPU 71, a ROM 72, a RAM 73, an input / output port (not shown), and the like. The ultrasonic cleaning device 3 (the stirrer 32 and the oscillation circuit 34) and the ultrasonic decomposition device 5 ( The oscillation circuit 54 and the stirrer 65) are electrically connected. Although not shown, the control device 7 is also connected to the pumps 43 and 69 and the flow path switching valves 46 and 70. The ROM 72 constituting the control device 7 stores a control program, and the CPU 71 uses the RAM 73 to execute the control program. As a result, the control device 7 outputs various control signals to the ultrasonic cleaning device 3, the ultrasonic decomposition device 5, etc., and comprehensively controls the entire system.

  Here, the operation of the purification system 1 in the present embodiment will be described.

  The operator operates the operation unit (not shown) of the control device 7 to operate the purification system 1 and puts a predetermined amount (for example, 100 liters) of cleaning water W1 into the cleaning tank 31 of the ultrasonic cleaning device 3. At the same time, a predetermined amount (for example, 10 kg) of contaminated soil E1 is put from the hopper 2. Then, the control apparatus 7 starts a soil purification process.

  Specifically, in the cleaning process, the control device 7 rotates the stirrer 32 by outputting a control signal to the stirrer 32. Thereby, the mixture of the contaminated soil E1 and the washing water W1 is stirred, and the soil particles are dispersed in the washing water W1. Next, the control device 7 outputs a control signal to the oscillation circuit 54 and causes the oscillation circuit 54 to output an oscillation signal. As the ultrasonic transducer 33 vibrates based on this oscillation signal, the ultrasonic wave 10 of 20 kHz is irradiated to the mixture (muddy water) in the cleaning tank 31 for a predetermined time (specifically, 15 minutes). Thereby, the ultrasonic wave 10 acts on the soil particles in the mixture, and the contaminated soil E1 is washed by the vibration energy of the ultrasonic wave 10. At that time, VOC contained in the contaminated soil E1 is extracted to the washing water W1 side. Here, for example, 150 mg of trichlorethylene (TCE) is extracted from the 10 kg of contaminated soil E1 placed in the cleaning tank 31 into the cleaning water W1 (100 L). In this case, the TCE concentration of the cleaning water W1 is 50 times (1.5 mg / L) the environmental reference value (0.03 mg / L).

  In the subsequent solid-liquid separation step, the control device 7 drives the supply pump 43 to pump the cleaning water W1 from the cleaning tank 31 of the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 to the separation tank 41 of the solid-liquid separation device 4. The solid-liquid separation device 4 separates the soil particles contained in the washing water W1 and the washing water W1, and after drying the separated soil E2, discharges it from the discharge port 44 to the outside of the device. Here, the control device 7 switches the flow path of the flow path switching valve 46 to the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus 3 side before driving the supply pump 43. Accordingly, the cleaning water W1 (100 liters) separated by the solid-liquid separation device 4 is returned to the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 again through the flow path switching valve 46.

  Then, in the ultrasonic cleaning device 3, new contaminated soil E1 is supplied from the hopper 2, and the cleaning processing of the contaminated soil E1 is performed using the cleaning water W1 supplied from the solid-liquid separation device 4 (concentration step). . That is, the contaminated soil E1 and the washing water W1 are stirred by the stirrer 32, and the ultrasonic vibrator 33 is irradiated with ultrasonic waves for a predetermined time to perform the cleaning process. Further, after the cleaning process is completed, the cleaning water W1 is pumped from the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 to the solid-liquid separation device 4, and the solid-liquid separation processing for separating the soil particles and the cleaning water W1 in the solid-liquid separation device 4 is performed. Is called.

  In the present embodiment, the VOC concentration contained in the cleaning water W1 is increased to 30 mg / L by repeatedly performing the cleaning process and the solid-liquid separation process as described above 20 times.

  In the subsequent decomposition step, the control device 7 switches the flow path of the flow path switching valve 46 to the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 side so that the cleaning water W1 of the solid-liquid separation apparatus 4 is decomposed in the decomposition tank of the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5. 51 (primary processing chamber 57). At this time, the control device 7 outputs a control signal to the stirrer 65 and rotates the stirrer 67 of the stirrer 65 to stir the cleaning water W <b> 1 in the primary treatment chamber 57.

  Then, the control device 7 outputs a control signal to the oscillation circuit 54 and causes the oscillation circuit 54 to output an oscillation signal. Based on the oscillation signal, the first ultrasonic transducer 52 and the second ultrasonic transducer 53 vibrate, and the ultrasonic wave 10 of 500 kHz is irradiated for a predetermined time (specifically, 5 hours).

  Here, the ultrasonic wave 10 generated by the first ultrasonic transducer 52 is first transmitted to the cleaning water W1 in the secondary treatment chamber 58 located at a position close to the first ultrasonic transducer 52, and in the cleaning water W1. Proceed upward. At that time, the sound field is adjusted to some extent. The ultrasonic wave 10 that has passed through the cleaning water W <b> 1 in the secondary processing chamber 58 propagates to the cleaning water W <b> 1 in the primary processing chamber 57 that is further away from the first ultrasonic transducer 52 after passing through the partition plate 56. To do. That is, the cleaning water W1 in the secondary processing chamber 58 acts as a medium for propagating the ultrasonic waves 10 generated by the first ultrasonic transducer 52 to the cleaning water W1 in the primary processing chamber 57. The ultrasonic wave 10 that has propagated into the primary processing chamber 57 travels further upward in the cleaning water W1, and is finally reflected by the surface of the cleaning water W1 (the interface between the cleaning water W1 and the air layer A1). The For this reason, a standing wave is generated near the liquid surface.

  In the present embodiment, the ultrasonic wave 10 is irradiated from the second ultrasonic vibrator 53 provided on the side surface of the decomposition tank 51 toward the cleaning water W <b> 1 in the primary treatment chamber 57. Accordingly, the cleaning water W1 in the primary treatment chamber 57 is irradiated with the ultrasonic wave 10 so as to be orthogonal from below and from the side, and the standing wave increases by multiplexing the sound field. As a result, more cavitation at the nano level to micron level is generated, and a high temperature / high pressure reaction field is formed in a wide range in the cleaning water W1. Since VOC is hydrophobic and volatile, it spontaneously gathers around the cavitation (interface between the cleaning water W1 and the bubbles), and further volatilizes and enters the cavitation. As a result, the VOC is thermally decomposed and rendered harmless by the action of the high-temperature and high-pressure reaction field. As a specific example, for example, when VOC is trichloroethylene or tetrachloroethylene, chlorine ions and harmless hydrocarbons are generated. Further, the cleaning water W1 in the primary treatment chamber 57 is degassed by the occurrence of cavitation.

  The cleaning water W <b> 1 in the primary processing chamber 57 subsequently passes through the transfer pipe 62 and is supplied into the secondary processing chamber 58. Since the secondary processing chamber 58 is located below the primary processing chamber 57, the cleaning water W1 naturally flows down through the transfer pipe 62 due to the action of gravity without using a pumping means such as a pump. . Therefore, according to this configuration, the cleaning water W1 can be smoothly supplied into the secondary processing chamber 58. Further, since the degassed cleaning water W1 is supplied to the secondary processing chamber 58, the ultrasonic wave 10 generated by the first ultrasonic transducer 52 is efficiently propagated to the cleaning water W1 in the primary processing chamber 57. be able to.

  Also in the secondary treatment chamber 58, the ultrasonic wave 10 acts on the cleaning water W1. Specifically, the ultrasonic wave 10 generated by the first ultrasonic transducer 52 and the ultrasonic wave 10 generated by the second ultrasonic transducer 53 are irradiated so as to be orthogonal to each other in the secondary processing chamber 58. A sound field is multiplexed in the washing water W1. In this secondary processing chamber 58, standing waves are not generated as much as in the primary processing chamber 57, so that it is considered that there are few areas where the VOC decomposition reaction occurs. However, by passing the cleaning water W1 into the secondary treatment chamber 58, the VOC remaining in the cleaning water W1 is reliably decomposed and rendered harmless.

  As in the present embodiment, the sound field is multiplexed by irradiating the ultrasonic wave 10 so as to be orthogonal to the lower side and the side of the decomposition tank 51, so that the VOC contained in the cleaning water W1 can be efficiently and in a short time. Disassembled. As a result, the VOC concentration of the cleaning water W1 can be reduced to an environmental reference value (0.03 mg / L) or less.

  Further, during the execution of the decomposition process by the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5, the cleaning process by the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus 3 and the solid-liquid separation process by the solid-liquid separation apparatus 4 are performed in parallel to increase the processing efficiency of the entire system. .

Incidentally, when the density of the contaminated soil E1 is 1.5 kg / L, in the purification system 1, 10 kg of the contaminated soil E1 processed by one washing process is about 6.7L. Further, in one day, it is possible to perform the washing process for 15 minutes 96 times and the decomposition process for 5 hours 4.8 times. Therefore, when the purification system 1 is continuously operated, 100 m ³ of contaminated soil E1 can be purified in about 160 days.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) In the purification system 1 of the present embodiment, the VOC extracted from the contaminated soil E1 can be rendered harmless only by irradiation with the ultrasonic wave 10 without using an additive such as a special drug. Furthermore, since the washed contaminated soil can be reused, the environmental load can be reduced. Moreover, in this purification system, since the ultrasonic wave 10 of the frequency suitable for each process can be irradiated by the soil particle cleaning process and the VOC decomposition process, the soil purification process can be efficiently performed in a short time. it can. Specifically, when the conventional purification system 91 of FIG. 3 is used, a processing time of about two years is required to purify 100 m ³ of contaminated soil. In contrast, when the purification system 1 of the present embodiment is used, the processing time can be shortened to less than half a year. Further, the disposal of activated carbon as in the conventional system is not necessary. Therefore, compared with the conventional system of FIG. 3, the running cost of the purification system 1 can be reduced to about 1/5.

  (2) In the purification system 1 of the present embodiment, the contaminated soil E1 can be completely detoxified without producing waste. Further, it is possible to construct a closed system in which VOC does not leak to the outside of the apparatus during the soil purification treatment, and there is no problem of air pollution due to VOC.

  (3) In the purification system 1 of the present embodiment, the soil purification process can be efficiently performed using the ultrasonic wave 10, so that each of the devices 3, 5 can be downsized and mounted on the vehicle 8. Can be realized. Therefore, the in-situ processing of the contaminated soil E1 can be performed by moving the vehicle 8 equipped with the purification system 1 to a factory site or the like.

  (4) In the purification system 1 of the present embodiment, the washing water W1 and the soil particles are separated by the solid-liquid separation device 4, and the washing water W1 from which the soil particles have been removed is put into the decomposition tank 51 of the ultrasonic decomposition device 5. Can be introduced. Therefore, the ultrasonic wave 10 can efficiently propagate into the cleaning water W1 in the decomposition tank 51 to generate more cavitation, and the VOC can be reliably decomposed.

  (5) In the purification system 1 of the present embodiment, the VOC concentration in the cleaning water W1 can be increased by returning the cleaning water W1 separated by the solid-liquid separator 4 to the cleaning tank 31 and reusing it. . Thereby, decomposition | disassembly of VOC by ultrasonic irradiation can be performed efficiently. In addition, since the contaminated soil E1 can be washed a plurality of times in parallel with the VOC decomposition treatment, the processing efficiency of the entire system can be improved. In other words, since the time required for the decomposition process is longer than the time required for the cleaning process, if the cleaning process is performed only once and the cleaning process is not performed until the decomposition process is completed, the operating efficiency of the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 decreases. End up. However, in the purification system 1 of the present embodiment, since the cleaning process is repeatedly performed even during the decomposition process, the operation efficiency of the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus 3 is improved, and as a result, the processing efficiency of the entire system is improved.

  (6) In the purification system 1 according to the present embodiment, the cleaning water W1 discharged from the decomposition tank 51 to the drain tank 6 is returned to the cleaning tank 31, and the cleaning water W1 is reused. Can be reduced. In particular, even when the washing water W1 cannot be sufficiently secured in a factory site or the like, the contaminated soil E1 can be continuously purified by reusing the washing water W1.

  (7) In the ultrasonic cleaning apparatus 3 according to the present embodiment, since the ultrasonic transducer 33 is provided on the outer surface side rather than the inner surface side of the bottom of the cleaning bath 31, the unevenness on the inner surface side of the cleaning bath 31 is reduced. In addition, it is possible to uniformly disperse the soil particles by uniformly propagating the ultrasonic wave 10 in the washing water W1.

  (8) In the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 of the present embodiment, the first ultrasonic transducer 52 and the second ultrasonic transducer 53 are both provided not on the inner surface side of the decomposition tank 51 but on the outer surface side. Concavities and convexities on the inner surface side of the tank 51 are reduced, and the ultrasonic wave 10 can be uniformly propagated in the cleaning water W <b> 1 in the decomposition tank 51. Moreover, the ultrasonic wave 10 can be irradiated toward the washing water W1 in the decomposition tank 51 so as to be orthogonal from below and from the side, and a synergistic effect due to the superposition of the ultrasonic waves 10 can be reliably obtained. Specifically, bubble nuclei in which cavitation was not generated by the single irradiation of the ultrasonic wave 10 are used as the root of cavitation by ultrasonic irradiation from other directions. Therefore, more cavitation can be generated in the washing water W1, and the region of the high-temperature and high-pressure reaction field is widened by the cavitation, so that the VOC contained in the washing water W1 can be efficiently decomposed in a short time. it can.

  (9) In the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 of the present embodiment, since the cleaning water W1 in the primary treatment chamber 57 of the decomposition tank 51 is stirred using the stirrer 65, the VOC contained in the cleaning water W1 is uniformized. In addition to increasing the frequency of reaction between VOC and cavitation, effective cavitation due to the reaction of VOC increases. Therefore, VOC contained in cleaning water W1 can be decomposed efficiently and in a short time. For example, even when a circulation pump for circulating the cleaning water W1 in the primary processing chamber 57 is provided instead of the stirrer 65, the VOC contained in the cleaning water W1 can be efficiently decomposed in a short time.

  (10) Since the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 of the present embodiment is configured to simultaneously irradiate the 500 kHz ultrasonic waves 10 from below and from the side toward the cleaning water W1 in the decomposition tank 51, the multiplexing of the ultrasonic waves 10 is performed. The synergistic effect by the conversion can be increased, and the decomposition efficiency of VOC can be increased. Further, the oscillation circuit 54 of the first ultrasonic transducer 52 and the second ultrasonic transducer 53 can be shared, and the device cost can be suppressed.

  (11) In the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 of the present embodiment, the partition plate 56 that partitions the inside of the decomposition tank 51 and divides it vertically is used, and its lower region is used as the secondary processing chamber 58, and its upper region. Is used as the primary processing chamber 57. And while promoting the decomposition | disassembly reaction of VOC by ultrasonic irradiation mainly in the primary processing chamber 57, and also irradiating the ultrasonic wave 10 to the washing water W1 also in the secondary processing chamber 58, the remaining VOC is reduced. It can decompose | disassemble and can improve processing efficiency.

  (12) In the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 according to the present embodiment, the cleaning water W1 is degassed by ultrasonic treatment in the primary processing chamber 57 and then supplied into the secondary processing chamber 58. Therefore, the decomposition tank 51 The ultrasonic wave 10 irradiated from below can be efficiently propagated to the cleaning water W <b> 1 in the primary processing chamber 57.

  (13) In the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 of the present embodiment, a transfer pipe 62 that communicates the primary processing chamber 57 and the secondary processing chamber 58 is provided outside the decomposition tank 51. In this case, as compared with the case where the transfer pipe 62 is provided inside the decomposition tank 51, the pipe 62 does not become an obstacle to the propagation of the ultrasonic wave 10, so that a suitable sound field with high reaction efficiency can be easily formed.

  In addition, you may change embodiment of this invention as follows.

  In the purification system 1 of the above embodiment, the solid-liquid separation device 4 that separates the cleaning water W1 and the soil particles is provided in the middle of the supply pipe 40 that connects the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 and the ultrasonic decomposition device 5. Although provided, it is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a purification system 81 in which the solid-liquid separation device 4 is omitted may be embodied. That is, in this purification system 81, the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 and the ultrasonic decomposition device 5 are connected via the supply pipe 40, and a supply pump 43 is provided in the supply pipe 40. . Further, a filter body 82 for filtering the cleaning water W <b> 1 is provided in the cleaning tank 31 of the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 at a position that is the starting end of the supply pipe 40. Then, by driving the supply pump 43, the cleaning water W <b> 1 in the cleaning tank 31 flows into the supply pipe 40 through the filter body 82. At this time, the soil particles in the washing water W1 are removed by the filter body 82, and the washing water W1 is supplied to the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 through the supply pipe 40. Even in this way, the washing water W1 from which the soil particles have been removed can be introduced into the decomposition tank 51 of the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5. Therefore, the ultrasonic wave 10 can efficiently propagate in the cleaning water W1 in the decomposition tank 51 to generate more cavitation, and the VOC can be reliably decomposed.

  Further, in the cleaning tank 31 of the ultrasonic cleaning device 3, an ultrasonic transducer 35 is provided on the side surface in addition to the ultrasonic transducer 33 on the bottom surface. Therefore, the ultrasonic wave 10 is irradiated toward the muddy water in the washing tank 31 so as to be orthogonal from below and from the side, and the contaminated soil E1 is efficiently washed by multiplexing the sound field.

  Even if the purification system 81 is configured in this manner, the VOC extracted from the contaminated soil E1 can be rendered harmless without using an additive such as a special drug as in the above embodiment, and the cleaned contamination The soil can be reused. Also in this purification system 81, since the ultrasonic wave 10 having a frequency suitable for each treatment can be irradiated in the soil particle washing treatment and the VOC decomposition treatment, the soil purification treatment can be efficiently performed in a short time. Can do.

  In the purification system 1 of the above embodiment, the drain tank 6 may be omitted and the cleaning water W1 discharged from the decomposition tank 51 may be returned to the cleaning tank 31. Of course, you may comprise so that the washing water W1 discharged | emitted from the decomposition tank 51 may be drained to a sewer. Further, the circulation pipes 47 and 68 and the flow path switching valves 46 and 70 for returning the cleaning water W1 to the cleaning tank 31 may be omitted.

  In the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 of the above embodiment, the first and second ultrasonic vibrators 52 and 53 are provided on the bottom and side surfaces of the decomposition tank 51, and the ultrasonic waves 10 are irradiated so as to be orthogonal from below and from the side. However, it is not limited to this configuration. Specifically, for example, first and second inclined surfaces (tapered surfaces) facing each other are formed at the bottom of the decomposition tank 51, and a first ultrasonic transducer 52 is provided outside the first inclined surface, A second ultrasonic transducer 53 is provided outside the second inclined surface. Even if comprised in this way, the ultrasonic wave 10 can be irradiated from several directions toward the washing water W1 in the decomposition tank 51, and the synergistic effect by superimposition of each ultrasonic wave 10 can be acquired.

  In the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 of the above embodiment, the decomposition tank 51 is partitioned into the primary processing chamber 57 and the secondary processing chamber 58 by the partition plate 56, and the cleaning water is contained in the primary processing chamber 57 and the secondary processing chamber 58. Although configured to decompose the VOC of W1, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, you may utilize only the area | region above a partition plate 56 as a process chamber which decomposes | disassembles VOC. In this case, the area below the partition plate 56 is filled with degassed water in order to increase the propagation efficiency of the ultrasonic wave 10. Of course. It is not necessary to divide into two processing chambers 57 and 58 by the partition plate 56, and the decomposition tank 51 without the partition plate 56 may be used.

  In the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 of the above-described embodiment, the inside of the decomposition tank 51 is vertically divided by the partition plate 56 provided horizontally, but the inside of the decomposition tank 51 is left and right by the partition plate 56 provided vertically. You may partition into.

  In the ultrasonic decomposition apparatus 5 of the above-described embodiment, the ultrasonic wave 10 of 500 kHz is emitted from the first and second ultrasonic vibrators 52 and 53, but is not limited to this frequency. Specifically, for example, in the frequency range of 400 kHz to 500 kHz, sufficient decomposition efficiency can be obtained even when the ultrasonic waves 10 having different frequencies are irradiated from the first and second ultrasonic transducers 52 and 53. it can. Further, even when the frequency of 200 kHz or 600 kHz is irradiated, the decomposition efficiency is somewhat inferior to that of 400 kHz to 500 kHz, but a synergistic effect can be obtained as compared with the case of single irradiation. Therefore, you may comprise so that the ultrasonic wave 10 of the frequency range of 200 kHz-600 kHz may be irradiated from the 1st and 2nd ultrasonic transducer | vibrator 52,53.

  In the ultrasonic cleaning device 3 of the above embodiment, the ultrasonic vibrator 10 irradiates the ultrasonic wave 10 of 20 kHz, but is not limited to this frequency. For example, the frequency of the ultrasonic wave 10 can be appropriately changed according to the particle size of the contaminated soil E1. However, if the frequency of the ultrasonic wave 10 is too high, the cleaning efficiency is lowered.
