Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problems: exhaustion of an adsorbent is quick and it is not economical when deodorization of a bad smell gas at a high concentration area is performed by the adsorption system; leakage of odor is quickly generated and stable deodorization is hardly continued; adsorbent performance at the latter stage is reduced by an influence of a washing liquid continuously sprayed to a filling material when it is operated in combination with a washing system; and periodical maintenance is required since performance of the washing method is reduced by deposition of the produced salts between the filling materials. <P>SOLUTION: In the present adsorption deodorization method, the adsorbent having performance reduced by adsorption of odor is taken out and replaced with a new one. However, before the deteriorated adsorbent is exchanged, this is utilized and pre-treatment deodorization of the bad smell gas is performed, thereby reduction of a consumption amount of the adsorbent for adsorption deodorization is achieved. The method has been devised to achieve stable deodorization operation at such a high bad smell concentration area that the adsorbent is further quickly destroyed. Namely, the deteriorated adsorbent before discharge is utilized as a semi-wetting type deodorization part filling substance and receives intermittent spraying of chemicals, thereby exhibiting the deodorization effect like the washing deodorization method. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

The present invention relates to a deodorization method using an adsorbent deteriorated by adsorption of odor as a wet cleaning deodorization method filling.

The adsorption deodorization method is a method that absorbs and removes odorous components when malodorous gas passes through the adsorbent layer, and measures against a relatively low concentration range of odors generated in environmental facilities (sewage treatment plants, sludge recycling plants, cleaning plants, etc.) It has been adopted for use. Activated carbon is often used as the adsorbent. The types are also coconut shell, coal, non-added products, chemical-added products (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, sodium, potassium, iodine, bromine), various metal compound-supported products (metal oxides such as Mn, Fe, Cu), There are crushed and granulated products. At the beginning of operation, it can be easily deodorized to an odor index of 23 or less at the discharge port.

In order to properly deodorize malodorous gases in a high concentration range, it is necessary to set a period until replacement of the adsorbent and to fill the tower with the theoretical consumption amount (adsorption band amount + saturated adsorption band amount) within the period. However, the power consumption of the blower due to the airflow resistance of the thick packed bed and the large amount of adsorbent consumed are not economical.

The cleaning deodorization method is widely used as a harmful gas removal method in the industry, and is a method of absorbing and removing a harmful gas component by contacting and chemically reacting with a sprayed chemical solution on the surface of the filling. Types of fillers include resin-based, metal-based, ceramic-based materials, spherical shapes, macaroni shapes, petal shapes, saddle shapes, and wavy block products. Inorganic chemicals, sodas, and chlorines are often used as reactive chemicals in response to harmful components. If it is an accurate design, it is possible to deodorize the odor control method to an odor intensity of close to 2.5 at the discharge port, but in the case of a complex odor generated from an environmental facility, an unpleasant odor remains and is not sufficient as a deodorization device.

Furthermore, if the cleaning and deodorizing method continues to operate, various salts, scales, etc. produced by the deodorizing reaction gradually adhere to the packing, increasing the airflow resistance, reducing the amount of sucked gas, and further reducing the malodor removal rate. In particular, there is a phenomenon in which a deodorizing operation cannot be performed due to a flooding condition. Therefore, in order to exert the deodorizing performance as designed, it is necessary to periodically stop the deodorizing operation, take out the packing material, perform the cleaning operation, or provide a special packing cleaning mechanism.

When deodorizing a relatively high concentration of malodorous gases with an adsorption method, the adsorbent is not consumed quickly and economically, and it is difficult to continue stable deodorization. In order to solve the problem that the performance of the adsorbent in the latter stage decreases due to the influence of the cleaning liquid sprayed on the surface, and the cleaning method deteriorates the performance due to adhesion of the generated salts between the packings, the present invention is to solve the problems such as the need for regular maintenance. Devised.

In the current adsorption and deodorization method, adsorbents that have adsorbed odors and have deteriorated performance are taken out and replaced with new ones, but deteriorated adsorbents are used before taking out pretreatment deodorization of malodorous gases. The present invention has been devised with the aim of reducing the consumption of the adsorbent for adsorption and deodorization, and capable of performing a stable deodorization operation even in a malodor concentration range where the adsorbent breaks through quickly. That is, it is characterized in that a deteriorating adsorbent before discharge is utilized as a semi-wet deodorizing part filler to exhibit a deodorizing effect such as a cleaning deodorizing method.

The semi-wet state described in this document is a state in which a chemical solution is intermittently sprayed on the surface of the adsorbent and a chemical solution is retained on the surface and inside of the porous adsorbent. It is not in a state where a large amount of cleaning liquid is sprayed on the surface of the filling. Therefore, the moisture and moisture carried by the malodorous gas passing through the semi-wet deodorizing layer is a small amount as compared with the cleaning method.

By semi-wet deodorizing part adsorbent by intermittently spraying and replenishing the chemical solution corresponding to the malodorous component, the adsorbent surface and inside always maintain the semi-wet state containing the chemical solution, and the odorous component is absorbed by the chemical reaction with the chemical solution Removed.

FIG. 1 shows the present invention, in which an adsorbent storage hopper 8 is arranged at the top, an adsorption deodorization layer 5 is provided immediately below, and a semi-wet deodorization layer 1 is provided immediately below the adsorption deodorization layer 5. When the malodorous gas flows from the gas inlet and passes through the semi-wet deodorizing layer 1, the odorous component is removed by reaction with the chemical solution. The remaining odor component is adsorbed and removed when passing through the adsorption / deodorization layer 5 to become a clean gas, and is exhausted from the gas outlet to the outside of the tower.

In the present invention, the chemical solution is intermittently sprayed in order to maintain the deodorizing performance of the semi-wet deodorizing layer 1, and the take-out device 9 provided at the bottom of the layer is periodically operated to discharge and replenish the adsorbent in the layer. Unlike the conventional cleaning method packing, it is not affected by generated salt, dust, scale, etc. In addition, when the adsorbent discharged from the semi-wet deodorization layer is activated carbon, it can be reused by adding the same regeneration process as in the prior art.

Adsorbent flows from the adsorption / deodorization layer 5 to the semi-wet deodorization layer 1 according to the discharge amount. Similarly, the adsorption / deodorization layer 5 is replenished with a new adsorbent 7 from the adsorbent storage hopper 8 and leaks bad odor due to deterioration in adsorption performance. The adsorbent is renewed before this occurs.

In the present invention, the filling thickness of the adsorption deodorizing layer can be set thin. This is because the semi-wet deodorization layer is pretreated to remove malodorous components and the gas passing through the latter adsorption deodorization layer becomes a thin concentration, and the adsorbent in the adsorption deodorization layer is discharged to the semi-wet deodorization layer one after another. This is because replenishment is performed from the adsorbent storage hopper and is gradually updated.

Conventionally, adsorbents that have reached the end of their life have been taken out of the tower, discarded or regenerated, but in the present invention utilized as a semi-wet deodorizer packing, the burden on the adsorbent for adsorptive deodorization is reduced and economic efficiency is improved. A stable deodorizing operation can be performed, and a higher concentration range of odorous gas can be easily handled.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The malodorous gas sent by the duct and blower from the odor source of the environmental facility enters the apparatus from the raw gas inlet. The malodorous gas includes the malodorous components described in 0006, and the gas temperature is basically 35 ° C. or lower from the temperature at which the sprayed chemical solution does not freeze. The casing of the present invention has sufficient corrosion resistance to spray chemicals, malodorous components, etc., and FRP that has strength that can withstand load, vibration, and internal pressure as the main material, but iron that has equivalent corrosion resistance and strength, The combined use of stainless steel, titanium, carbon fiber, fluorine and rubber is also conceivable.

The malodorous gas that has flowed into the apparatus is removed by reacting the chemical solution of the adsorbent and the odorous component when passing through the semi-wet deodorizing layer 1. Passing gas flow velocity is about 0.1m / second to about 0.6m / second, filling thickness is about 100mm to about 500mm, and odor component, concentration, adsorbent shape & particle size, renewal period, allowable pressure loss Detailed settings are taken into account. The semi-wet deodorizing layer shown in FIG. 1 is a single layer, but depending on the malodorous gas composition, it is necessary to further provide several types of layers and a chemical solution spray mechanism.

The chemical spray amount to the semi-wet deodorization layer is set in consideration of the malodor concentration at the inlet and the adsorbent particle size, but the liquid gas ratio (L / G) is in the range of 0.1 to 1.0 L / m ³ and the circulation spray pump 12 The water spray tube / spray nozzle 14 and the spraying flow meter 13 are used. The spraying time and spraying stop time are set in consideration of the odor component, concentration, adsorbent shape & particle size, allowable pressure loss, etc., and set while checking the odor component removal rate and pressure loss value with the packing pressure gauge 21 during the test run. To do.

The shape of the adsorbent is a columnar shape, a tablet shape, and a spherical shape, and the particle size is basically about 4 to 12 mmφ. Regardless of whether chemicals are attached or not, select a binder that can withstand the pressure due to the height of the adsorbent stacking, has little damage due to mutual frictional force, vibration, etc., and does not decompose (break) with spray chemicals. . For example, any regenerated deodorizing granulated activated carbon currently widely distributed in the industrial chemical industry can be used without any problem. The specific area required for the semi-wet deodorizing layer may be 100 m ² / g or more.

After spraying water on the 4mmφ activated carbon layer, if air (relative humidity 50-55% temperature 26 ° C) is flowed at a superficial flow velocity of 0.3m / sec, the moisture content (w / w%) of the adsorbent is 100% immediately after the spraying is stopped. 10 minutes elapsed 70%, 30 minutes elapsed 50%, 60 minutes elapsed 25%. The spraying cycle is based on 30 dispersed cloth stops & spraying for 2 to 5 minutes.

The shape of the partition net 2 on both sides of the semi-wet deodorizing layer stretches a perforated plate / grid / net on both sides so that malodorous gas can pass through without resistance and the adsorbent does not leak out. The material shall have sufficient corrosion resistance to spray chemicals such as PVC, FRP, polypropylene, stainless steel, titanium, and malodorous components, and shall be a structural material that can withstand the pressure and friction of the filling material on a smooth surface.

The buffer unit 3 prevents the malodorous gas passing through the semi-wet deodorizing layer from causing a short path from the middle to the processing gas exit side of the adsorption deodorizing layer 5 and prevents the sprayed chemical solution from entering the adsorption deodorizing layer 5 and reducing the adsorptivity. Thus, it is provided between the semi-wet deodorizing layer 1 and the adsorption deodorizing layer 5. The thickness is basically the same as the semi-wet deodorization layer, but the length (height) is longer than the pressure loss value of the semi-wet deodorization layer + the adsorption deodorization layer or 400 mm or more considering the capillary phenomenon of the sprayed chemical ( High) value. Since this portion should not allow gas to pass therethrough, gas barrier plates 4 are stretched on both sides instead of the partition net. The material is the same as the casing and there is no problem.

The malodorous gas that has passed through the semi-wet deodorization layer 1 is then adsorbed and removed by the adsorption deodorization layer 5 and discharged from the processing gas outlet to the outside of the apparatus. The deodorizing adsorbent has a columnar shape, a tablet shape, and a spherical shape, and a particle size of about 4 to 12 mmφ is basically used. Select the presence or absence and type of chemical adhering to give adsorption and deodorization performance corresponding to the malodorous gas to be treated. Although the adsorption deodorizing layer displayed in FIG. 1 is one layer, depending on the malodorous gas composition, several kinds of adsorbent layers are provided to cope with the malodorous gas. It is necessary to select one having strength that is not destroyed by pressure such as stacking height and vibration, but there is no problem if it is a granulated activated carbon for deodorization that is widely available in the industrial chemical industry.

Adsorption deodorization layer passage gas flow rate is in the range of about 0.1m / second to 0.6m / second, and the thickness is in the range of about 100mm to about 500mm. Layer malodor component, set concentration, adsorbent shape & particle size, Set the details in consideration of conditions such as renewal period and allowable pressure loss. The partitioning net 6 on both sides of the adsorption layer is the same as the semi-wet deodorizing layer partitioning net 2 and there is no problem.

The adsorbent storage hopper 8 is installed so as to be directly connected to the upper part of the adsorption deodorization layer, and has a structure capable of smoothly supplying the adsorbent 7 to the lower adsorption deodorization layer. In order to prevent a short pass of malodorous gas into the hopper, the length (height) of the direct connection portion is set to be higher than the adsorption deodorization layer pressure loss value.

As for the adsorbent, the take-out device 9 periodically operates, and a certain amount of adsorbent is periodically discharged from the bottom of the semi-wet deodorizing layer 1 to the outside of the device. The adsorbent corresponding to the discharged amount flows into the semi-wet deodorizing layer 1 from the buffer part 3. Similarly, an adsorbent in an amount corresponding to the outflow amount flows into the buffer unit 3 from the adsorption / deodorization layer 5, and a new adsorbent 7 corresponding to the outflow amount is supplied to the adsorption / deodorization layer 5 from the adsorbent storage hopper 8. Replenishment and renewal are performed almost simultaneously. In order to smoothly move the adsorbent to each part, the vibrator 10 is operated during discharging.

The take-out device 9 can be a screw conveyor or a vacuum suction type. The operation timing is set in detail based on the pressure loss value of the deodorizing layer and the set adsorbent discharge amount, and is determined by trial operation. The set discharge standard per one time is in the range of 30-60L. Select materials that have corrosion resistance to spray chemicals and odorous components.

The spray chemical solution is compatible with the target malodorous component, but in the case of deodorization of environmental facilities, sulfuric acid (pH 1.5 to 2.0) is taken into consideration in consideration of deodorization efficiency, cost, availability, storage properties, etc. ), Caustic soda (pH 9 to 13), and sodium hypochlorite (200 to 1,500 ppm) are often used. The concentration is determined from the gas concentration and spraying timing and determined by trial operation.

The chemical liquid sprayed on the semi-wet deodorizing layer 1 is pushed (pulled) by the malodorous gas, flows into the adsorbent layer, flows through the surface and gaps while reacting with the odor component and replenishing the adsorbent, and the chemical tank 11 Return to. A chemical concentration meter 15 such as a pH meter or an effective chlorine concentration meter sends an instruction to start or stop the supply of chemical components to the chemical injection pump 17 in order to maintain an appropriate chemical concentration range.

The chemical injection pump 17 instructs the chemical concentration meter 15 to inject chemicals (sulfuric acid, caustic soda, sodium hypochlorite, stabilized chlorine dioxide, etc.) suitable for reaction removal of malodorous components from the chemical storage tank 16 in the spray pipe or Replenish the chemical tank. While monitoring is basically performed as described above while the apparatus is in operation, if the foul odor concentration does not fluctuate little, a method of injecting a fixed amount of the chemical solution consumption confirmed during the trial operation may be used.

If the operation is continued, various salts generated by the deodorization reaction will increase in the chemical solution and adversely affect the deodorizing action. Therefore, the concentration of the generated salts is controlled to about 5% or less, and continuous spraying of the sprayed liquid outside the tank continues. Inject basic makeup water. The amount of makeup water corresponding to the required discharge calculated from the amount of odor components is adjusted by a makeup water flow meter 19, and drainage to the outside of the tank is performed by a circulation spray pump 12, an automatic drainage valve 20, and a liquid level meter 18.

The present invention is stable to industrial facilities such as sewage treatment facilities, sludge recycling facilities, waste treatment facilities, organic resource circulation facilities, food processing factories, chemical factories, machine manufacturing factories, electrical appliance manufacturing factories, and pulp and paper factories. Deodorizing operation, maintenance cost reduction, construction cost reduction, installation space narrowing, easy maintenance and reduction of maintenance management can be provided, so it is often used as energy saving environment equipment in the deodorization field.
