Description

  The present invention relates to an agitation mixer for agitating and mixing a chemical such as an inorganic flocculant and water and an agglomeration reaction apparatus equipped with the agitation mixer.

  For example, when dewatering surplus sludge discharged from a biological treatment process of organic wastewater such as sewage, dewatering is generally performed after flocs are formed by adding a flocculant to the sludge and coagulating. .

  FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a conventional agglomeration reaction apparatus 101 for adding an inorganic flocculant to sludge (raw mud), and in this agglomeration reaction apparatus 101, the raw mud is a raw mud pump 103. Is introduced into the agglomeration reaction tank 102, the inorganic flocculant is added to the raw mud in the agglomeration reaction tank 102, and both are agitated and mixed by the agitator 106 to discharge the agglomerated sludge.

  By the way, strong agitation is necessary to react sludge and inorganic flocculant efficiently. However, strong agitation consumes a lot of power and is contaminated in sludge like mixed raw sludge of sewage. In the case of raw mud containing things, impurities may get entangled with the stirring blades and smooth stirring may be hindered.

  Therefore, an agglomeration reaction apparatus 201 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

  FIG. 10 is a front view of the agglomeration reaction apparatus, FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG. 7, and the illustrated agglomeration reaction apparatus 201 is a raw mud pump 203 that transfers sludge (raw mud) to the agglomeration reaction tank 202. In the middle of the transfer pipe 204 having a cylindrical stirrer 210 as a mixing stirrer, a small diameter pipe 211 is connected to the storage tank 210 in a tangential direction, and the transfer pipe 204 extending from the stay tank 210 is connected to the transfer pipe 204. A small-diameter pipe 205 is connected, and the small-diameter pipe 205 is connected to the outer peripheral portion of the aggregation reaction tank 202 in a tangential direction. Here, the agglomeration reaction tank 202 is formed in a cylindrical container shape, and a stirrer 206 is provided therein. A discharge pipe 207 is connected to the upper part of the agglomeration reaction tank 202.

  Thus, while the sludge is introduced into the retention tank 210 via the transfer pipe 204 and the small diameter pipe 211 by the raw mud pump 203, the inorganic flocculant is formed in the vicinity of the connecting portion between the transfer pipe 204 and the small diameter pipe 211. Injected. The injected inorganic flocculant is uniformly dispersed and mixed in the sludge by the turbulent flow of sludge in the small-diameter fine pipe 211, and the high-speed sludge flow passing through the fine-diameter pipe 211 is tangential to the residence tank 210. The inorganic flocculant is further mixed and diffused by the jet flow when it flows into the water. The sludge flow that flows in the tangential direction from the small-diameter pipe 211 to the staying tank 210 becomes a swirling flow in the staying tank 210, and the inorganic flocculant becomes even more uniform by being mixed with the sludge in the staying tank 210. To be mixed and diffused.

  The sludge in which the inorganic flocculant is stirred and mixed in this way flows into the agglomeration reaction tank 202 through the transfer pipe 204 and the small diameter pipe 205 in a tangential direction, thereby turning into the agglomeration reaction tank 202, and this agglomeration reaction tank. By mixing with the sludge in 202, the inorganic flocculant is mixed and diffused more uniformly, and flocs grow by stirring by the stirrer 206 in the agglomeration reaction tank 202, so that a good flocculation process is performed.

  The agglomerated sludge obtained in the agglomeration reaction tank 202 as described above is discharged out of the agglomeration reaction tank 202 from the discharge pipe 207 and is sent to the next processing step.

  Patent Document 2 proposes a pretreatment device as shown in FIG. 12 as a stirring mixer.

  12 is a cross-sectional view of the pretreatment apparatus 301. The illustrated pretreatment apparatus 301 includes a wastewater inlet 302, an injection tank 303, a flocculant injection port 304, a diffusion blade 305, a diffusion tank 306, and a coagulation cylinder. 307, a coagulation expansion tank 308, a compression unit 309, a compression port 310, a static pressure tank 311 and an outlet 312. Waste water flowing from the inlet 302 expands and flows in the injection tank 303, and in the process The flocculant is injected from the flocculant injection port 304. Then, the waste water into which the flocculant is injected is mixed and stirred with the flocculant by passing through the diffusion blade 305, and is vortex mixed to flow out into the diffusion tank 306.

The wastewater flowing into the diffusion tank 306 flows through the coagulation cylinder 307 after the eddy current diffusion state is promoted, and is gradually compressed in the process, and the suspended impurities contained therein are separated and aggregated to form separated precipitates. Is done. Then, the waste water compressed by the coagulation cylinder 307 becomes a flow expanded in the coagulation expansion tank 308, and is compressed again in the next compression unit 309 to increase the compactness of the separated precipitate, and then from the compression port 310. After flowing into the static pressure tank 311 and statically expanding in the static pressure tank 311, it is discharged from the outlet 312 to the outside of the apparatus.

However, in the conventional agglomeration reaction apparatus 201 provided with the residence tank 210 as the stirring mixer shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the diameter of the small-diameter pipe 211 that injects sludge into the residence tank 210 in the tangential direction is constant. For this reason, there is a restriction on the treatment flow rate of sludge, and there is a problem that when the operation is continued, scale adheres to the inner surface of the small-diameter pipe 211, and this adhered scale cannot be easily removed. The scale adhering to the inner surface of the small-diameter pipe 211 is FePO ₄ or the like produced by the reaction of phosphorus in the sludge and the metal in the inorganic flocculant.

  In addition, the pre-processing apparatus 301 shown in FIG. 12 has a drawback that fibrous impurities are easily entangled due to the complicated internal structure.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an agitating mixer having a wide processing flow rate range and being difficult to adhere to a scale, and an agglomeration reaction apparatus including the stirring mixer.

  According to the first, fourth, and fifth aspects of the present invention, since an orifice-like elastic packing having a hole at the center is provided in the middle of the transfer pipe, chemicals such as an inorganic flocculant and a term flocculant are added. When the water passes through the hole of the elastic packing, it is squeezed to increase the flow velocity and is jetted vigorously into the next space. For this reason, stirring and mixing of chemicals and water are promoted.

  In addition, when the flow rate of the mixture of chemical and water increases, the pressure upstream of the elastic packing increases, and this high pressure causes the elastic packing to swell and expand the diameter of the hole, so that the chemical and water passing through this hole are expanded. As a result, the processing flow range is expanded.

  Furthermore, the hole through which the mixture of chemical and water passes is formed in a thin elastic packing, and the area around the hole of the elastic packing is deformed during and before and after operation due to the flow rate change of the mixture of chemical and water. The scale is difficult to adhere to, and even if it adheres, it will peel off.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, since a plurality of elastic packings are provided in the length direction of the transfer pipe, the flow rate is increased each time the mixture of the chemical and water passes through the holes of the plurality of elastic packings, and the next space is urged. It is well jetted and the stirring and mixing of both is further promoted.

  According to the invention described in claim 6, since the stirring and mixing of the inorganic flocculant and water is sufficiently performed by the stirring mixer before the water to which the inorganic flocculant has been added is introduced into the agglomeration reaction tank, The agglomeration reaction is satisfactorily performed in the reaction tank, and a high agglomeration efficiency is obtained.

  According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, before the water is introduced into the agglomeration reaction tank, the first agitation mixer sufficiently mixes the inorganic flocculant with water, and the stirred and mixed mixture is organically mixed.

Aggregation efficiency is obtained.

[Stirring mixer]
Embodiments of a stirring mixer according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

<Embodiment 1>
1 is a cross-sectional view of a stirring mixer according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of an elastic packing, and FIGS. 3A and 3B are states of the elastic packing when the flow rate is small and large. It is explanatory drawing which shows.

  In the stirring mixer 10 according to the present embodiment, a circular hole 8a through which the water passes is formed in the middle of a transfer pipe 4 for pumping water to which chemicals such as an inorganic flocculant and an organic flocculant are added. The orifice-shaped elastic packing 8 is arranged substantially at right angles to the water flow direction. Specifically, the transfer pipe 4 is divided into two pipes 4 a and 4 b, these pipes 4 a and 4 b are joined to each other by a flange 9, and the elastic packing 8 is sandwiched between both the flanges 9 to stir and mix 10 is constituted. The elastic packing 8 is made of an elastic body such as rubber and can be elastically deformed by water pressure (differential pressure).

  Thus, the water to which the chemical is added upstream of the elastic packing 8 in the stirring mixer 10 passes through the circular hole 8 a of the elastic packing 8 in the process of flowing through the transfer pipe 4. At this time, since the mixture of the medicine and water is squeezed when passing through the circular hole 8a of the elastic packing 8 to increase the flow velocity and is vigorously injected into the next space, the stirring and mixing of the medicine and water is promoted. Both react efficiently.

  By the way, when the flow rate of the mixture of the chemical and water is relatively small, the pressure on the upstream side of the elastic packing 8 is small, so that the elastic packing 8 hardly deforms as shown in FIG. The inner diameter of the hole 8a hardly changes.

  On the other hand, when the flow rate of the mixture of the chemical and water increases and the pressure increases, the pressure on the upstream side of the elastic packing 8 increases, and this high pressure causes the elastic packing 8 to expand as shown in FIG. Since the inner diameter is increased, the flow rate of the mixture of the chemical and water passing through the circular hole 8a is increased, and as a result, the processing flow rate range is expanded.

  In this embodiment, the circular hole 8a through which the mixture of medicine and water passes is formed in the thin elastic packing 8, and the periphery of the circular hole 8a of the elastic packing 8 is operated by the flow rate change of the mixture of medicine and water. Since it is deformed in the middle and before and after the operation, the scale is difficult to adhere to the portion, and even if it adheres, it will peel off.

  In the present embodiment, the transfer pipe 4 is composed of two pipes 4a and 4b joined by a flange 9, and an elastic packing is provided between the two flanges 9 joining the pipes 4a and 4b. 8 is sandwiched, the elastic packing 8 can be easily replaced by removing the flange 9, and the elastic packing 8 can be easily removed and cleaned.

<Embodiment 2>
Next, an agitation mixer according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the stirring mixer according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In this figure, the same elements as those shown in FIGS. The re-explanation about is omitted.

  The stirring mixer 11 according to the present embodiment is characterized in that two elastic packings 8 are provided at an appropriate interval in the length direction of the transfer pipe 4. Specifically, the transfer pipe 4 is composed of three pipes 4a, 4b, 4c joined by a flange 9, and two sheets that join two adjacent pipes 4a, 4b and 4b, 4c, respectively. The elastic packing 8 is sandwiched between the flanges 9.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained. However, in this embodiment, the two elastic packings 8 are provided at an appropriate interval in the length direction of the transfer pipe 4. Each time the mixture of the chemical and water passes through the circular holes 8a of the two elastic packings 8, the flow velocity is increased and the mixture is injected vigorously into the next space, and the effect of further promoting the stirring and mixing of the two is obtained.

[Aggregation reactor]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of an agglutination reaction apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

<Embodiment 1>
5 is a front view of the agglomeration reaction apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG.

  The agglomeration reaction apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes an agglomeration reaction tank 2 and a transfer pipe 4 that pumps sludge (raw mud) into the agglomeration reaction tank 2. A pump 3 is provided. And the transfer piping 4 is connected to the lower outer periphery of the said aggregation reaction tank 2 in the substantially tangential direction, as shown in FIG. Here, the agglomeration reaction tank 2 is formed in a cylindrical container shape, and a stirrer 6 is provided in the inside thereof, and a discharge pipe 7 is connected to the upper part.

  Thus, in the agglomeration reaction apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, a stirring mixer 11 similar to that shown in FIG. 4 is provided downstream of the raw mud pump 3 in the transfer pipe 4. That is, the stirring mixer 11 is configured by providing two elastic packings 8 at appropriate intervals in the length direction of the transfer pipe 4.

  Thus, while the sludge is transferred through the transfer pipe 4 by the raw mud pump 3, the inorganic flocculant is added upstream of the stirring mixer 11, and the sludge to which the inorganic flocculant is added is transferred to the transfer pipe. 4 passes through the stirring mixer 11 in the process of flowing. In the agitation mixer 11, the sludge and flocculant mixture is squeezed when passing through the circular holes 8 a of each elastic packing 8 to increase the flow velocity and be vigorously injected into the next space. The agitation and mixing are promoted, the two react efficiently, and a high coagulation efficiency is obtained.

  By the way, when the flow rate of the mixture of the sludge and the flocculant is relatively small, since the pressure on the upstream side of the elastic packing 8 is small, the elastic packing 8 hardly deforms as shown in FIG. The inner diameter of the circular hole 8a hardly changes.

  On the other hand, when the flow rate of the mixture of the sludge and the flocculant increases and the pressure increases, the pressure on the upstream side of the elastic packing 8 increases, and this high pressure causes the elastic packing 8 to expand as shown in FIG. Therefore, the flow rate of the mixture of the sludge and the flocculant passing through the circular hole 8a is increased, and as a result, the treatment flow rate range is expanded.

  In the present embodiment, since the stirring mixer 11 in which the two elastic packings 8 are provided in the length direction of the transfer pipe 4 at an appropriate interval is used, the mixture of sludge and the flocculant is two elastic packings. Each time it passes through the eight circular holes 8a, the flow velocity is increased and the gas is injected vigorously into the next space, and the mixing and diffusion of both are further promoted to obtain a high coagulation efficiency. In the present embodiment, the number of the elastic packings 8 provided in the stirring mixer 11 is 2. However, the number of the elastic packings 8 is not limited, and may be 1 or 3 or more.

  The circular hole 8a through which the mixture of sludge and the flocculant passes is formed in the thin elastic packing 8, and the periphery of the circular hole 8a of the elastic packing 8 is in operation and during operation due to the change in the flow rate of the mixture of sludge and flocculant. Since it deforms back and forth, the scale is difficult to adhere to the part, and even if it adheres, it will peel off.

  Thus, since the flow rate is increased by passing through the circular hole 8a of the elastic packing 8 in the process of flowing through the agitating mixer 11, it is injected vigorously into the next space. The mixture flows into the agglomeration reaction tank 2 from the transfer pipe 4 in a substantially tangential direction, and the stirring and mixing of the inorganic flocculant is more effectively performed by the jet flow at that time.

  And the sludge flow which flowed into the agglomeration reaction tank 2 from the transfer pipe 4 in the tangential direction becomes a swirl flow in the agglomeration reaction tank 2 and is mixed with the sludge in the agglomeration reaction tank 2 so that the inorganic flocculant is more While being stirred and mixed more uniformly, the sludge floc grows by stirring with the stirrer 6 in the agglomeration reaction tank 2 and a good agglomeration treatment is performed.

  The coagulated sludge obtained in the coagulation reaction tank 2 as described above is discharged out of the coagulation reaction tank 2 from the discharge pipe 7 and sent to the next treatment process (coagulation treatment process or dehydration process using an organic coagulant). Be paid.

The second stirring mixer 10 that is the same as that shown in FIG. 1 is provided downstream, and in this embodiment, the first stirring mixer 11 and the second stirring mixer 10 In between, an organic flocculant is added.

  Thus, in the agglomeration reaction apparatus 1 ′ according to the present embodiment, the first agitation mixer 11 sufficiently mixes and stirs the inorganic flocculant and water before the sludge is introduced into the agglomeration reaction tank 2. When the organic flocculant is added to the stirred and mixed mixture, the organic flocculant is stirred and mixed by the second stirrer / mixer 10, so that the sludge, the inorganic flocculant and the organic flocculant in the flocculation reaction tank 2 are mixed. Aggregation reaction with the agent is satisfactorily performed, and high aggregation efficiency is obtained.
