High-temperature microwave plasma generator and waste treatment system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of waste treatment, in particular to a high-temperature microwave plasma generator and a waste treatment system.
Background
Environmental issues are one of the most popular issues at present, and there are many aspects related to environmental issues, such as waste disposal. Municipal solid waste, industrial waste (solid waste, waste gas, waste liquid, etc.), medical waste, etc. cannot be discharged directly into the nature, and must be subjected to harmless treatment.
For example, conventional solid waste treatment methods are mainly a landfill method and a combustion method. The methods have obvious defects, and the landfill method occupies land, is easy to cause pollution to atmosphere, soil and water and has hidden explosion hidden trouble. The burning method has high operation and treatment cost, and particularly various wastes are easy to generate dioxin harmful substances when the burning temperature is lower than 300-400 ℃, so that the wastes become new pollution sources and are not beneficial to large-scale popularization and application.
for this reason, some waste treatment methods in the prior art can overcome the above-mentioned defects, such as treatment by plasma dissociation recombination, which means that the material is decomposed into ions at high temperature (generally above 2000 ℃), i.e. atoms are split into electrons and positive ions, and after the solid waste is dissociated, gases (generated gas) such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen can be generated by recombination in the upper lower temperature region of the gasification furnace. Generally, arc plasma can emit arc temperature higher than 5500 ℃, a plasma generator with high heat density and high temperature arc is used for heating and gasifying the solid waste to above 2000 ℃, and even higher temperature is used for dissociating the solid waste to generate generated gas.
however, in the conventional art, the use of arc plasma can generate a locally high temperature, and can gasify solid waste which is difficult to gasify, but the power consumption is high and the temperature is not uniform. So that the waste treatment system using the arc plasma generator also consumes high power.

The combustion improver inlet 108 is arranged at the central shaft at the top of the shell 107 and is used for introducing the combustion improver into the shell 107 through the combustion improver inlet 108; a waste inlet 109 is provided on a side wall of the housing 107 for passing waste into the housing 107 through the waste inlet 109; a generated gas outlet 110 is formed on the other side wall of the housing 107, and is used for discharging generated gas generated after the waste is treated out of the housing 107 through the generated gas outlet 110; the residue outlet 111 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 107, and is used for discharging residue left after treatment out of the housing 107 through the residue outlet 111.
the frequency and the phase of the radio frequency provided for the radio frequency antenna by the power supplies of any two groups of microwave generating devices are different, so that the input frequency and the phase of the microwave introduced into the shell are changed according to the mutually non-overlapping periodic wave deformation, and the positions of nodes and antinodes of standing waves in the microwave radiated into the shell are continuously changed, so that the phenomenon that the strength of the electric field is greatly different because the nodes or the antinodes are fixed at a certain position in the shell does not exist, the electric field strength in the shell can be averaged, and the uniformity is improved. Thereby improving the uniformity of the electron density (plasma density) inside the housing and providing a very uniform plasma treatment.

Thereby further improving the uniformity of the electron density (plasma density) inside the envelope.
As shown in fig. 1, the number of sets of microwave generating devices of the high-temperature microwave plasma generator is two, including: the antenna comprises a first radio frequency antenna 101, a first rotatable wave-transmitting window 103 and a first power supply 105, wherein the first radio frequency antenna 101 is connected and positioned on the first rotatable wave-transmitting window 103, and the first power supply 105 is connected with the first radio frequency antenna 101 and provides a first radio frequency signal with a first frequency and a first phase.

The first and second rotatable wave-transparent windows 103 and 104 are arranged up and down along the central axis of the housing 107.
the working principle of the high-temperature microwave plasma generator is as follows: the combustion improver is introduced into the shell, so that the shell is exposed to the vibration of microwaves, high heat is generated, and flame is generated in the microwave plasma generator due to the generated high heat. For example, when the combustion improver is a plasma generating gas such as steam, an inert gas, etc. for generating plasma, the plasma flame temperature generated in the microwave plasma generator may reach 2000 to 4000 ℃. When the combustion improver contains coal dust, a high-temperature region above 4000 ℃ is formed when the coal dust is combusted in plasma, and meanwhile, the coal dust particles quickly release volatile matters under the action of high-temperature thermal shock, so that peripheral coal dust airflow is quickly ignited. Further, since the plasma is a gas ionized into negatively charged electrons and positively charged cations, the ionized electrons and/or cations and the like improve the ability to decompose the object to be treated. Therefore, under the action of high-temperature plasma flame, combustion improver components are selected according to waste types to obtain a desired high-temperature range, and if the waste needs to be subjected to oxidation reduction and other treatments, corresponding components are added into the combustion improver, so that the high-temperature plasma flame treatment of solid waste (generally, the solid waste can be mostly gasified at the high temperature of more than 4000 ℃), liquid waste and gas waste is realized, and a large amount of generated gas (including hydrogen, carbon monoxide and the like) and a small amount of residues are generated.
The high-temperature microwave plasma generator provides the radio-frequency signal for the radio-frequency antenna through the power supply so as to generate a radiation electric field in the microwave plasma generator and generate high-temperature plasma flame. And the power supply provides radio frequency signals with different frequencies and phases to the radio frequency antenna, and the rotatable wave-transmitting window is arranged, so that the homogenization degree of the electron density (plasma density) in the microwave plasma generator is improved, and very uniform plasma treatment can be provided.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 2A, the rf antenna is an elliptical spiral structure, so that the direction of the radiated electric field changes as it rotates, thereby achieving the adjustability of the radiated electric field strength in the microwave plasma generator. By rotating the directions of the plurality of radio-frequency antennas, the electric field can be radiated in all directions, the intensity of the radiation electric field in the shell is homogenized, and the homogenization degree is improved.
As shown in fig. 2B, the rf antenna may preferably be an illustrated elliptical spiral bifurcate structure, after one spiral line rotates for one circle, two guide lines are bifurcate, each guide line connects two spiral lines, after each spiral line rotates for one circle, two guide lines are bifurcate, each guide line connects two spiral lines, so that the bifurcate is reciprocal, the elliptical spiral winding density of the rf antenna is improved, thereby being capable of generating a larger radiation electric field intensity on the same winding area, improving the radiation efficiency, enhancing the radiation energy in the housing, and further increasing the microwave plasma density in the housing.
Preferably, the rotating speed of the rotatable wave-transparent windows of the microwave generating devices in each group is different, so that the direction adjustment of the radiation electric field is changed periodically, and the adjustment of the electric field intensity is more uniform.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 3, the high temperature microwave plasma generator further comprises: an electrode plate 114, a third power supply 112, and a gas distribution plate 113.
the electrode plate 114 is connected and positioned at the bottom central axis of the shell 107; a third power supply 112 connected to the electrode plate 114 for supplying a radio frequency of a different frequency and phase from the power supply of the microwave generating device to the electrode plate 114; the gas distribution plate 113 is arranged below the combustion improver inlet 108 and used for enabling the combustion improver to be uniformly output after passing through the gas distribution plate 113, and the gas distribution plate 113 is grounded and used for forming a group of capacitors with the electrode plate 114.

Through setting up the plate electrode, increase electric capacity in the middle part of the shell, improved the electric field strength of the weak position in middle part, increased the plasma density in middle part to plasma distribution uniformity and holistic plasma density in the shell have further been improved.
Preferably, the gas distribution plate 113 includes at least three axially arranged plates, as shown in fig. 3, the three axially arranged plates are provided, each layer of plates has water drop-shaped through holes radiating from the center to the periphery, and the water drop-shaped through holes between the plates are staggered.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 4, the small end of the drop shape on the laminate of the gas distribution plate 113 is near the center and the large end of the drop shape is near the edge. The number of the water drop-shaped holes can be set according to actual requirements. Because the center is aligned with the combustion improver inlet 108, the combustion improver input amount is larger than that at the edge, so that in order to homogenize the output amount passing through the gas distribution plate, the center is provided with the water drop-shaped small end part, and the edge is provided with the water drop-shaped large end part, thereby achieving the continuous change of the combustion improver through hole from small to large, and achieving the homogenization effect of the combustion improver output amount after passing through the gas distribution plate by matching with the continuous change of the combustion improver input amount from large to small.
