Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、水の超臨界領域の環境下で被処理物を反応処理するための高圧反応容器に関し、難分解性有機物の分解処理に好都合に利用される。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
高圧反応容器としては、従来、外筒内に先端の開口した内筒を入れた二重管構造のものが知られている(例えば特開平7ー313987号公報参照)。このような高圧反応容器では、水をポンプで臨界圧力以上に加圧すると共にヒータで加熱し、これを外筒の後端側から内外筒間で形成する外側空間に入れて先端側に送り、その間に内筒側から熱を吸収させ、臨界温度近傍の温度まで昇温させ、反転させて内筒に入れ、一方、内筒に先端側から被処理物を含有する原水及び酸化剤による酸素を入れ、高温に加熱された水と原水及び酸素が混合されることにより、水の臨界領域近傍以上の環境下において原水中の被処理物と酸素とを内筒内で酸化反応させ、被処理物を分解しつつ分解時の発熱によって原水を臨界温度以上の高温になった反応流体にし、これを後端側から導入される前記水と熱交換させて冷却し、後端から排出することにより、被処理物を酸化処理することができる。このような超臨界領域近傍以上の環境における反応を利用した装置によれば、被処理物が難分解性の有害有機物を含む場合であっても、これを無害な分子等に分解して排水することができる。
【0003】
しかしながら、このような高圧反応容器には次のような諸問題があった。即ち:
▲1▼ 外筒内に導入された水を基本的に内外筒間の熱交換を最終段階として超臨界温度まで昇温させなければならないため、外筒への導入前に水を相当の温度まで予熱する必要があった。そのため、反応流体から除去できる熱量が少なくなり、超臨界状態から凝縮する水量が少なかった。その結果、凝縮水によって反応生成物である無機塩等のスケール成分を流し出す効果が小さく、反応容器へのスケール付着量が多かった。又、反応容器内における熱回収効率も低かった。
▲2▼ 上記のように目的とする最終温度を得るために水を予熱するが、このときには、反応容器内での熱吸収による水の温度上昇を予測して予熱器を温度制御する必要がある。そのため、温度制御が間接的になり、目的とする最終温度を精度良く制御できなかった。従って、設定温度の変更等も容易でなく、運転の自由度に欠けていた。
▲3▼ 内筒の先端側では、反応部の熱が内筒壁を介して水側に伝達されるため、反応温度が下がり易く反応条件に悪影響を与えていた。
▲4▼ 外筒内で水が加熱されて温度が高くなると共に、反応部が外筒に開口し双方が導通しているため、被処理物によって外筒の内側表面が腐食され易い。そのため、高圧になる外筒に耐蝕性の大きい高級材料を使用すると共に、腐食を考慮した余分の厚み付与しなければならず、製品コストが高くなっていた。
【0004】
上記の諸問題の一部分を解決できる高圧反応容器としては、内外筒間を均圧化し、内筒を耐圧容器にすることなく外筒の腐食を防止し、コスト低減を図ったものが提案されている(特開平9ー85075号公報参照)。しかしながら、この容器の特長は耐圧性能と耐蝕性能とを分離した点に止り、この容器では、熱的性能の向上やスケール付着の軽減等について全く考慮されていない。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は従来技術に於ける上記問題を解決し、耐圧部分の耐蝕性を軽減して低コスト化を図ると共に、熱的性能が良く、スケール付着が軽減され、運転操作の自由度の高い高圧反応容器を提供することを課題とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記課題を解決するために、請求項1の発明は、超臨界領域の水の環境下で被処理物を反応させて処理するための高圧反応容器において、
一方側から高圧水を入れるための水入口と前記一方側より上の方向になる他方側から前記高圧水を出すための水出口と該水出口から出されると臨界温度以上の温度に加熱されると共に酸素が加えられる前記高圧水を前記他方側から再度入れるための水再入口と前記被処理物を前記他方側から入れるための原料入口と前記被処理物が反応処理された後の流体を前記一方側から出すための流体出口とを備えた耐圧容器と、前記一方側の端から前記他方側に向けて該他方側の端の近くまで前記耐圧容器との間で仕切られた外側空間を形成するように前記耐圧容器の内側に設けられた中間仕切体と、前記他方側の端から前記一方側に向けて途中まで延設され前記反応のための反応部となるように仕切られた内側空間を形成すると共に前記中間仕切体との間で間隙を形成するように前記中間仕切体の内側に設けられた内側仕切体と、前記間隙における流体の導通を制限するように前記間隙の前記上の方向の端に設けられるシール手段と、を有し、前記水入口と前記水出口とは前記外側空間に導通するように設けられ、前記水再入口と前記原料入口と前記流体出口とは、加熱されると共に酸素が加えられる前記高圧水と前記被処理物とが反応して発熱し超臨界温度に到達して前記超臨界領域の水の環境を現出させるために、前記内側空間に導通するように設けられている、ことを特徴とする。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1は本発明を適用した高圧反応容器の構造例及びこのような高圧反応容器の機能を発揮させることができる超臨界反応装置の全体構成の一例を示す。
高圧反応容器は、超臨界領域である圧力218気圧、温度374℃以上の領域の水の環境下で有害有機物等の被処理物を反応させて処理するためのものであり、外筒1a並びにその一端及び他端になる蓋1b及び1cで構成された耐圧容器1、その内側に設けられた中間仕切体としての中間筒2、更にその内側に設けられた内側仕切体としての内筒3、シール手段としてのシール材4、等によって構成されている。
【0008】
耐圧容器1は、一方側である蓋1b側から高圧水を入れるための水入口5、他方側である蓋1c側から高圧水を出すための水出口6、高圧水を蓋1c側から再度入れるための水再入口7、被処理物として難分解性有機物等を含む廃液を蓋1c側から入れるための原料入口である廃液入口8、廃液が反応処理された後の流体を蓋1b側から出すための流体出口9、等を備えている。耐圧容器1の主要部分となる外筒1aには、通常程度の耐蝕性を備えた材料として例えば厚肉のステンレス鋼管にフランジを付けた管ピースが用いられる。蓋1b、1cには例えばインコロイ(商標名)のような高耐蝕性材料が用いられる。なお、蓋1b、1cとしては、フランジに代えて耐圧性及び気密性のあるネジ継手状部材も好都合に0用される。
【0009】
中間筒2は、蓋1b側の端である蓋1bから蓋1c側に向けてその端である蓋1cの近くまで耐圧容器1との間で仕切られた外側空間である外側流路10を形成するように設けられている。中間筒2も蓋と同様に高耐蝕性材料で出来ている。内筒3は、蓋1c側の端である蓋1cから蓋1b側に向けて途中まで延設され反応のための反応部になるように仕切られた内側空間としての反応部11を形成すると共に中間筒2との間で間隙12を形成するように導設されている。内筒3の延設された先端3aから蓋1bまでの中間筒2の内側空間は冷却部13になる。内筒3も中間筒2と同材質のものである。
【0010】
内筒3の長さは、取り扱う被処理物の種類、導入する高圧水の温度や圧力、これらの流量、その他の反応の諸条件によって異なり、実際の装置に適合するように定められる。この長さは、内筒3内で反応がほぼ完了する程度であってもよいが、できれば冷却部13による冷却作用が反応に悪影響を及ぼさないように長めに設けられることが望ましい。又、必要によってはバッチ処理試験を行い、反応に必要な内部流体の滞留時間を求め、処理量と流速からその滞留時間を満足する長さを定めるようにしてもよい。一方、内筒の先端3aから蓋1bまで形成された冷却部13の長さは、耐圧容器1の長さと先端3aの位置とによって決まる。この場合冷却部13の長さは、冷却効果の点からは長い方がよいが、これを長くすると耐圧容器1や中間筒2の長さが長くなって装置コストが高くなるので、これらの兼ね合いから実際の設計等において最適なように定められる。
【0011】
シール材4は、間隙12における流体の導通を制限する。即ち、高圧反応容器内の各部分は同じ高圧条件になっているが、内部流体の流れ方向ではある程度の圧力差を持つので、本例では、シール材4を内筒3に固定して中間筒2側に圧接させることにより、外側流路10と反応部12及び冷却部13との間の導通を遮断している。この場合、中間筒2と内筒3との間は運転時と冷態時とで相互に反対方向に膨張/収縮するので、シール材4の部分で多少の漏れを生ずる可能性があるが、このような漏れは実質的に問題になることなく許容される。なお、シール手段としては例えばラビリンスシールのように少量のリークを前提とした構造のものや、中間筒2又は内筒3の一部分に縮管部又は拡管部を設けることによってシールするような構造のもの等であってもよい。
【0012】
このような構造において、水入口5と水出口6とは外側流路10に導通するように設けられ、水再入口7と廃液入口8と流体出口9とは反応部11に導通するように設けられている。なお、本例では水再入口7と廃液入口8とをそれぞれ別々に設けているが、このようにすれば、後述する廃液の酸化反応を反応部11に入ってから開始させることができる。但し、これらに導入される管系を入口の近傍で共通の1ラインにし、入口7、8を1つの入口にしてその数を減らし、蓋の解放を容易にすることも可能である。
【0013】
このような高圧反応容器を作動可能にする超臨界反応装置は、脱気水又は清浄水を水入口5に高圧で圧送するポンプ20、外部で熱回収を図る熱回収器21、水出口6から出た高圧水を更に高温まで必要に応じて自由に加熱し加熱後の高温高圧水を水再入口7に供給できる加熱器22、加熱器22の入口部もしくは出口部又はこれらの両方に酸化剤等によって酸素を供給する酸素供給系23、加熱器22の出口の高圧高温水の温度又は反応温度を制御するための温調器24、図示しないポンプによって廃液入口8に廃液を供給する廃液供給系25、これにアルカリ剤を注入するアルカリ剤注入系26、流体出口9から出た流体を導入して液体、水、蒸気、固体及び非凝縮性ガスを分離する気液固分離器27、これから分離された気体を前記熱回収器21を通過させて導入し水蒸気を凝縮させ非凝縮性ガスを分離する第1フラッシュタンク28、その前に設けられ上流側の圧力を高圧に維持して下流側を減圧するための第1定圧弁29、液を通過させるドレンセパレータ30、上流側の系を高圧に維持して下流側を減圧するための第2定圧弁31、高温高圧水を大気圧近傍の圧力まで減圧して水蒸気をフラッシュ蒸発させる第2フラッシュタンク32、この中の圧力を低圧に維持するための水蒸気及びガス排出管33、等によって構成されている。第1及び第2フラッシュタンク28、32には、それぞれ水蒸気及び非凝縮ガス出口28a並びに非溶解固体を含む液出口32aが設けられている。
【0014】
以上のような超臨界反応装置は次のように運転され、その中で高圧反応容器は次のような作用をする。
ポンプ20が運転され脱気水又は清浄水が圧送される。定圧弁29、31は、その上流側の圧力を水の超臨界圧力として例えば230気圧程度に維持する。このようにポンプ20から常温で超臨界圧で圧送される清浄な高圧水は、熱回収器21で気液分離器27から排出される気体を冷却することによってその熱を回収し、ある程度温度上昇して外側流路10に導入され、その上流側部分で冷却部13内の反応後の高温流体を冷却し、それによって例えば200°C程度まで昇温され、更に外側流路10で昇温してその水出口6から300℃程度で排出され、加熱器22及び温調器24で臨界温度である374°C以上に加熱されると共に酸素を注入され、超臨界状態となって水再入口7から今度は高圧反応容器の反応部11内に入れられる。
【0015】
このような超臨界水の流れと並行して、難分解性有機物を含む廃液がアルカリ剤と共に廃液入口から反応部11内に入れられ、この中で超臨界水と接触して一挙に昇温する。その結果、水の超臨界状態の環境下で廃液中の有機物等が酸素と反応して発熱し、混合流体は超臨界温度に到達する。そして、このような高温環境が維持されることにより、流入する廃液の全体において酸化反応が完結し、難分解性の有害有機物は、CO2 、N2 、SO2 、HCL等の超臨界状態のガスや無機物に分解され、酸はアルカリと反応して塩を生成する。この場合、本発明では、内筒と中間筒との間にシール材4でシールされた間隙12を設けているので、間隙12が上記ガスで充満され、反応部11と外部空間10との間に断熱効果が生じ、反応部11内の温度低下が抑制され、反応条件として必要な高温状態が良好に維持される。なお、アルカリ剤は、廃液中に塩素等の酸生成成分が含まれる場合に生成した塩酸等の酸を中和して塩にし、腐食を防止するためのものである。
【0016】
超臨界条件で酸化反応した後の流体は、上記の如く超臨界状態の水を主成分としてこれに生成した各種ガス及び析出した小量の無機固形物が混在した状態になっている。このような流体は、前述の如く外側流路10を流れる高圧水によって冷却部13内で冷却される。その場合、外側流路10を流れる高圧水が比較的低温であるため冷却効率が良いので、冷却部13をある程度長くとることにより、反応後の流体を例えば300°C程度の臨界温度より低い温度まで冷却し、そのうちの相当量を復水させることができる。
【0017】
一方、酸化反応によって生成した前記無機物の一部は、反応直後にはドライな状態のミクロン単位の大きさの粉体になっているが、冷却部で冷却されると、付着性を持ったスケール成分になる。しかし、上記のように超臨界水が冷却されその相当量が復水して水になるため、この水と共に外部に排出される。その結果、中間筒内部へのスケールの付着が少なくすることができる。
【0018】
排出された流体は気液分離器27に入り、その上方及び下方からそれぞれガスと水及び固形分として取り出される。ガスは前記の如く熱回収器21を通過して高圧水を予熱することによって冷却され、定圧弁29を通過して大気圧近くまで減圧され、第1フラッシュタンク28の水中に噴出されてそのエネルギーを吸収された後、ガス出口28aから排出される。ガスに随伴して導入された水蒸気は、凝縮して液出口28bから排出される。
【0019】
水及び固形分はドレンセパレータ30及び定圧弁31を介して第2フラッシュタンク32内に噴出される。この中で発生した水蒸気及び水中に混在してして分離されたガスは、ガス出口32bから排出され第1フラッシュタンク28に導入される。水及び固形分は液出口32aから排出される。なお、図示していないが、第1、第2フラッシュタンク内の水は冷却管等によって冷却されている。又、これらから排出された水を、脱気、PH調整、軟水化等の必要な処理をした後、ポンプ20に供給する清浄水として再使用してもよい。
【0020】
以上のように運転される超臨界反応装置において、本発明を適用した高圧反応容器によれば、外側流路10において冷却部13の高温流体から吸熱した高圧水を、従来のように反転させて内側の反応部に入れることなく、その全量を一度外部に出して加熱器22によって再加熱するので、反応部11に入れる前に高圧水を確実に臨界温度近傍の温度又はそれ以上の十分高い温度まで昇温させ、反応開始に必要な温度条件に確実に到達させることができる。又、加熱器22により、処理対象物等によってある程度変化する可能性のある反応条件に適合するように、容易且つ自在に最終温度を設定できるので、運転のフレキシビリティを得ることができる。
【0021】
又、このように高圧水を加熱器22で最終加熱するので、高圧反応容器内ではこれを臨界温度まで昇温させなくてもよいため、従来のように容器内へ導入される高圧水を特別の加熱器によって高い温度まで予熱する必要がない。本例では熱回収器21で排熱回収をしている程度である。従って、反応後の高温流体は外側流路10内の比較的温度の低い高圧水によって冷却されることになり、冷却部における伝熱温度差が大きくなって冷却効果が良くなる。その結果、冷却部13をある程度の長さにするだけで、熱回収によって反応流体を従来よりも低い温度まで下げ、その相当量を復水させることができる。従って本発明によれば、耐圧容器や中間筒をそれ程長くすることなく、装置コストを抑えて熱的性能を向上させることができる。
【0022】
更に、高圧反応容器に三重部分を設けて間隙12を形成させているので、この部分に反応ガスを充満させて断熱効果を発揮させ、反応部の流体と外側の高圧水との間の熱伝達を制限し、反応部11内の超臨界状態にある高い温度を維持し、良好な反応条件を持続させることができる。又、外側流路10内には高圧水のみを流し、この中に廃液や酸素を入れないと共に、従来のように高圧水が反応水と導通する開口反転部がなくその部分での反応水との混合のおそれがないので、耐圧容器1の外筒1aの内部が廃液中の成分や反応生成物及び酸素によって腐食されることがない。その結果、外筒1aに高級な耐蝕材料を使用しなくてもよくなると共に、腐食のための余分の厚みを付与する必要もなくなる。
【0023】
一方、中間筒2及び内筒3は反応生成物等によって腐食作用を受けるので、これらに対しては高耐蝕性材料を使用する必要がある。しかし、高圧反応容器内は定圧弁29、31によって全体的にほぼ同じ圧力になっているので、中間筒2及び内筒3には殆ど圧力による周応力が生じない。従って、これらに対しては厚みの薄い材料を用いることができる。その結果、全体として高圧反応容器のコスト低減を図ることができる。
【0024】
そして更に、外側流路10には前記の如く廃液が流れないため、スケール成分がなくその壁面へスケールが付着することがない。一方、中間筒2の内部では、前述の如く冷却効果の向上によって臨界状態の流体の復水量が多くなるので、冷却されて付着性の生じたスケール成分の多くを復水と共に多く外部に排出することができる。その結果、中間筒内部へのスケールの付着が少なくなる。なお、加熱器22に送られる高圧水は非凝縮性ガスを含まないので、反応流体との熱交換や加熱器における加熱において熱交換効率が良い。
【0025】
図2は、高圧反応容器にスケール対策用の構造部分としてガイド筒14及びスケール剥離部材15を設けた例を示す。
ガイド筒14は、反応部11内の反応後の流体が中央部分から噴出するように案内する。その結果、流体中に存在する反応によって生成した灰状のスケール成分が、冷却部13内で既に冷却され液化した流体のある下方に噴出され、これに混合・吸着される。そして、このようなスケール成分が冷却部13で直接中間筒2の壁面に当たって冷却され、付着性を付与されてそのまま壁面に付着する不具合が防止されることになる。
【0026】
スケール剥離部材15は、心材15aの回りに切欠スパイラル15bを取り付けて形成されていて、内筒3に嵌め込み等によって着脱可能に取り付けられ、熱による膨張/収縮作用、即ち、使用時と冷態時とで中間筒2及び内筒3が互いに反対方向に伸び縮みすることを利用し、スパイラルの先端エッジで中間筒2の内面に付着したスケールを掻き落とすようにしている。
【0027】
このような構造部分を設ければ、スケールの付着を軽減させ、高圧反応容器を分解してスケールを除去する保守作業を減らすことができる。又、装置の停止時に、容器を開放することなく蓋1cと共に内筒3を回転させるだけの操作により、中間筒2の内面に付着したスケールを掻き取ることができ、その作業を容易にすることができる。
【0028】
【発明の効果】
以上の如く本発明によれば、超臨界領域の水の環境下で被処理物を反応処理するための高圧反応容器は、それぞれ必要な構成部分を備えた耐圧容器と中間仕切体と内側仕切体とシール手段とを有するので、耐圧容器の一方側の水入口から高圧水を中間仕切体との間で形成された外側空間に入れ、水出口から一度外部に出し、加熱器等の適当な加熱手段で自由に加熱することができる。その結果、高圧水を、水再入口から内側空間に入れる前に、臨界温度の近傍の温度又はそれ以上の十分高い温度まで確実に昇温させ、被処理物を分解させるための反応開始に必要な温度に確実に到達させることができる。又、水再入口から入れる高温高圧水の設定温度を変更する必要が生じたようなときには、外部に設けられるべき加熱器等を調整することにより、容易且つ自在に温度変更が可能になるので、運転操作の自由度が得られる。
【0029】
中間仕切体と内側仕切体とはそれぞれ一方側の端及び他方側の端から設けられていると共に、内側仕切体は内部で反応が行われる位置まで内側空間を形成するように一方側端に到達するまでの途中まで設けられているので、内側空間を被処理物の反応処理部分とし、これに連続して形成される中間仕切体の内側を反応後の流体の冷却部分にすることができる。この場合、上記のように高圧水を外部の加熱手段で最終加熱できるので、特別に予熱することなく適当に低い温度で外部空間に入れて反応熱の回収効率を良くし、冷却部分を適当な長さにして反応流体の復水量を多くすることができる。
【0030】
更に、中間仕切体と内側仕切体との間に間隙を形成させ、シール手段によって間隙の導通を制限しているので、内側空間における被処理物の反応処理によって生成したガスをこの間隙に充満させて断熱効果を発揮させ、内側空間の反応部の流体と外側空間の高圧水との間の熱伝達を大幅に制限し、反応部分における超臨界状態の高い温度を維持し、良好な反応条件を持続させることができる。又、外側空間内には高圧水のみを流し、この中に被処理物及び酸素を入れないので、耐圧容器の主要部である外側空間に面した部分が被処理物中の成分や反応生成物によって腐食されることがない。その結果、耐圧容器の主要部分に高級且つ高価な耐蝕材料を使用しなくてもよくなると共に、腐食のための余分の厚みを付与する必要もなくなる。
【0031】
一方、中間仕切体及び内側仕切体は反応生成物等によって腐食作用を受けるので、これらに対しては高耐蝕性材料を使用する必要がある。しかし、高圧反応容器内は通常定圧弁等によって全体的にほぼ同じ圧力にされているので、両仕切体には殆ど圧力による周応力がかからない。従って、これらに対しては厚みの薄い材料を用いることができる。その結果、全体として高圧反応容器のコスト低減を図ることができる。
【0032】
そして更に、外側空間には前記の如く被処理物を入れないので、スケール成分がなくその壁面にスケールが付着しない。一方、中間仕切体の内部では、前記の如く超臨界状態の流体を多く復水させることができるので、冷却されて付着性の生じたスケール成分の多くを復水した水に吸着・溶解させ、これと共に外部に排出することができる。その結果、中間仕切体の内部へのスケールの付着が少なくなる。又、外部の加熱手段に送られる高圧水は非凝縮性ガスを含まないため、この点においても反応後の流体との熱交換や加熱器での加熱における熱交換効率が良い。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a high-pressure reaction vessel for reacting an object to be treated in an environment of water in a supercritical region, and is advantageously used for the decomposition treatment of hardly decomposable organic substances.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a high-pressure reaction vessel, there is conventionally known a double-tube structure in which an inner cylinder having an open end is placed in an outer cylinder (see, for example, JP-A-7-313987). In such a high-pressure reaction vessel, water is pressurized to a critical pressure or higher with a pump and heated with a heater, and this is put into an outer space formed between the rear end side of the outer cylinder and the inner and outer cylinders and sent to the front end side. Heat is absorbed from the inner cylinder side, raised to a temperature near the critical temperature, inverted and placed in the inner cylinder, while raw water containing the material to be treated and oxygen from the oxidizing agent are put into the inner cylinder from the tip side. By mixing water heated to a high temperature with raw water and oxygen, an object to be treated and oxygen in the raw water are oxidized in an inner cylinder under an environment near the critical region of water, The raw water is converted into a reaction fluid that has become a temperature higher than the critical temperature due to the heat generated during decomposition while being decomposed, and is cooled by exchanging heat with the water introduced from the rear end side and discharged from the rear end. The treated product can be oxidized. According to such an apparatus utilizing a reaction in an environment near the supercritical region, even if the object to be processed contains a hardly decomposable harmful organic substance, it is decomposed into harmless molecules and discharged. be able to.
[0003]
However, such a high pressure reaction vessel has the following problems. That is:
(1) Since the water introduced into the outer cylinder must basically be heated to the supercritical temperature by the final stage of heat exchange between the inner and outer cylinders, the water is brought to a certain temperature before being introduced into the outer cylinder. It was necessary to preheat. Therefore, the amount of heat that can be removed from the reaction fluid is reduced, and the amount of water that is condensed from the supercritical state is small. As a result, the effect of flowing out scale components such as inorganic salts as reaction products with condensed water was small, and the amount of scale adhered to the reaction vessel was large. Also, the heat recovery efficiency in the reaction vessel was low.
(2) As described above, water is preheated to obtain the target final temperature. At this time, it is necessary to control the temperature of the preheater by predicting the temperature rise of the water due to heat absorption in the reaction vessel. . Therefore, the temperature control becomes indirect, and the target final temperature cannot be accurately controlled. Therefore, it is not easy to change the set temperature, and the degree of freedom in operation is lacking.
(3) On the tip side of the inner cylinder, the heat of the reaction part is transferred to the water side through the inner cylinder wall, so that the reaction temperature tends to decrease and adversely affects the reaction conditions.
(4) Water is heated in the outer cylinder to increase the temperature, and since the reaction part opens into the outer cylinder and both are conductive, the inner surface of the outer cylinder is easily corroded by the object to be processed. For this reason, a high-grade material having high corrosion resistance must be used for the high pressure outer cylinder, and an extra thickness in consideration of corrosion has to be provided, resulting in an increase in product cost.
[0004]
As a high-pressure reaction vessel that can solve a part of the above problems, there has been proposed one that equalizes the pressure between the inner and outer cylinders, prevents corrosion of the outer cylinder without making the inner cylinder a pressure vessel, and reduces costs. (See JP-A-9-85075). However, the feature of this container is that the pressure resistance performance and the corrosion resistance performance are separated from each other. In this container, no consideration is given to improvement of thermal performance, reduction of scale adhesion, and the like.

[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows an example of the structure of a high-pressure reaction vessel to which the present invention is applied and an example of the overall configuration of a supercritical reaction apparatus capable of exhibiting the function of such a high-pressure reaction vessel.
The high-pressure reaction vessel is for reacting and processing an object to be treated such as a harmful organic substance in a water environment in a supercritical region at a pressure of 218 atm and a temperature of 374 ° C. or more. A pressure-resistant container 1 composed of lids 1b and 1c which are one end and the other end, an intermediate cylinder 2 as an intermediate partition provided on the inner side, an inner cylinder 3 as an inner partition provided on the inner side, a seal It is comprised by the sealing material 4 etc. as a means.
[0008]
The pressure vessel 1 has a water inlet 5 for supplying high-pressure water from the lid 1b side which is one side, a water outlet 6 for discharging high-pressure water from the lid 1c side which is the other side, and high-pressure water again from the lid 1c side. Water re-inlet 7, waste liquid inlet 8 which is a raw material inlet for putting waste liquid containing a hard-to-decompose organic substance or the like as an object to be processed from the lid 1c side, and the fluid after the waste liquid has been subjected to reaction treatment is taken out from the lid 1b side Fluid outlets 9 and the like. For the outer cylinder 1a which is the main part of the pressure vessel 1, for example, a tube piece having a flange on a thick stainless steel pipe is used as a material having a normal degree of corrosion resistance. For the lids 1b and 1c, a highly corrosion-resistant material such as Incoloy (trade name) is used. As the lids 1b and 1c, screw joint members having pressure resistance and airtightness are advantageously used instead of flanges.
[0009]
The intermediate cylinder 2 forms an outer flow path 10 which is an outer space partitioned from the pressure vessel 1 from the lid 1b which is the end on the lid 1b side toward the lid 1c side and close to the lid 1c which is the end. It is provided to do. The intermediate cylinder 2 is also made of a highly corrosion resistant material like the lid. The inner cylinder 3 forms a reaction portion 11 as an inner space which is extended from the lid 1c which is an end on the lid 1c side to the lid 1b side and is partitioned so as to become a reaction portion for reaction. A gap 12 is formed between the intermediate cylinder 2 and the intermediate cylinder 2. The inner space of the intermediate cylinder 2 from the extended tip 3 a of the inner cylinder 3 to the lid 1 b becomes a cooling unit 13. The inner cylinder 3 is also made of the same material as the intermediate cylinder 2.
[0010]
The length of the inner cylinder 3 varies depending on the type of the object to be treated, the temperature and pressure of the high-pressure water to be introduced, the flow rate thereof, and other reaction conditions, and is determined so as to suit the actual apparatus. This length may be such that the reaction is almost completed in the inner cylinder 3, but it is desirable that the length is long so that the cooling action by the cooling unit 13 does not adversely affect the reaction. If necessary, a batch processing test may be performed to determine the residence time of the internal fluid necessary for the reaction, and the length satisfying the residence time may be determined from the processing amount and the flow rate. On the other hand, the length of the cooling unit 13 formed from the tip 3a of the inner cylinder to the lid 1b is determined by the length of the pressure-resistant container 1 and the position of the tip 3a. In this case, the length of the cooling unit 13 is preferably long from the viewpoint of the cooling effect, but if this is lengthened, the length of the pressure vessel 1 and the intermediate cylinder 2 becomes long and the device cost becomes high. Therefore, it is determined so as to be optimal in actual design.
[0011]
The sealing material 4 restricts fluid conduction in the gap 12. That is, each part in the high-pressure reaction vessel has the same high-pressure condition, but has a certain pressure difference in the flow direction of the internal fluid. In this example, the sealing material 4 is fixed to the inner cylinder 3 and the intermediate cylinder By conducting pressure contact with the second side, conduction between the outer flow path 10 and the reaction section 12 and the cooling section 13 is interrupted. In this case, between the intermediate cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3 expands / contracts in opposite directions during operation and during cooling, there is a possibility that some leakage will occur in the seal material 4 portion. Such leakage is tolerated with virtually no problem. In addition, as a sealing means, for example, a structure that assumes a small amount of leak, such as a labyrinth seal, or a structure that seals by providing a contracted tube portion or a expanded tube portion in a part of the intermediate tube 2 or the inner tube 3 is used. The thing etc. may be sufficient.
[0012]
In such a structure, the water inlet 5 and the water outlet 6 are provided so as to be connected to the outer flow path 10, and the water re-inlet 7, the waste liquid inlet 8 and the fluid outlet 9 are provided so as to be connected to the reaction unit 11. It has been. In this example, the water re-inlet 7 and the waste liquid inlet 8 are provided separately, but if this is done, the oxidation reaction of the waste liquid described later can be started after entering the reaction section 11. However, it is also possible to reduce the number of the pipe systems introduced into them into one common line near the inlet, reduce the number of the inlets 7 and 8 as one inlet, and facilitate the opening of the lid.
[0013]
The supercritical reaction apparatus that enables the operation of such a high-pressure reaction vessel includes a pump 20 that pumps degassed water or clean water to the water inlet 5 at a high pressure, a heat recovery device 21 that recovers heat externally, and a water outlet 6. The high-pressure water that has come out can be freely heated to a higher temperature as needed, and the heated high-temperature and high-pressure water can be supplied to the water re-inlet 7. The oxidant can be added to the inlet or outlet of the heater 22 or both. An oxygen supply system 23 for supplying oxygen by means of a temperature, a temperature controller 24 for controlling the temperature or reaction temperature of high-pressure high-temperature water at the outlet of the heater 22, and a waste liquid supply system for supplying waste liquid to the waste liquid inlet 8 by a pump (not shown). 25, an alkali agent injection system 26 for injecting an alkali agent thereto, a gas-liquid solid separator 27 for separating the liquid, water, vapor, solid and non-condensable gas by introducing the fluid discharged from the fluid outlet 9, and separating from this The heated gas into the heat A first flash tank 28 that is introduced through the collector 21 to condense water vapor and separate non-condensable gas, and is provided in front of the first flash tank 28 for maintaining the upstream pressure at a high pressure and reducing the downstream pressure. A constant pressure valve 29, a drain separator 30 for allowing liquid to pass through, a second constant pressure valve 31 for maintaining the upstream system at a high pressure and depressurizing the downstream side, and depressurizing high-temperature high-pressure water to a pressure close to atmospheric pressure to generate water vapor. A second flash tank 32 for flash evaporation, a water vapor and gas discharge pipe 33 for maintaining the pressure in the second flash tank 32 at a low pressure, and the like are configured. The first and second flash tanks 28 and 32 are respectively provided with a water vapor and non-condensable gas outlet 28a and a liquid outlet 32a containing an undissolved solid.
[0014]
The supercritical reaction apparatus as described above is operated as follows, and the high-pressure reaction vessel operates as follows.
The pump 20 is operated and deaerated water or clean water is pumped. The constant pressure valves 29 and 31 maintain the upstream pressure as a supercritical pressure of water, for example, at about 230 atm. In this way, the clean high-pressure water pumped from the pump 20 at room temperature with supercritical pressure recovers its heat by cooling the gas discharged from the gas-liquid separator 27 with the heat recovery device 21, and the temperature rises to some extent. Then, the high temperature fluid after the reaction in the cooling unit 13 is cooled at the upstream portion thereof, and the temperature is raised to, for example, about 200 ° C., and further raised in the outer flow channel 10. Then, the water is discharged from the water outlet 6 at about 300 ° C., heated by the heater 22 and the temperature controller 24 to a critical temperature of 374 ° C. or higher, and oxygen is injected, and the water re-inlet 7 enters a supercritical state. From this time, it is put in the reaction section 11 of the high pressure reaction vessel.
[0015]
In parallel with the flow of supercritical water, a waste liquid containing a hardly decomposable organic substance is introduced into the reaction section 11 from the waste liquid inlet 8 together with an alkaline agent, and in this state, the temperature rises at once by contact with the supercritical water. To do. As a result, the organic matter in the waste liquid reacts with oxygen in the supercritical state environment of water to generate heat, and the mixed fluid reaches the supercritical temperature. By maintaining such a high temperature environment, the oxidation reaction is completed in the entire waste liquid flowing in, and the hardly decomposable harmful organic substances are supercritical gas such as CO2, N2, SO2, HCL or inorganic substances. The acid reacts with alkali to form a salt. In this case, in the present invention, since the gap 12 sealed with the sealing material 4 is provided between the inner cylinder and the intermediate cylinder, the gap 12 is filled with the gas, and the gap between the reaction portion 11 and the external space 10 is obtained. A heat insulation effect is produced, temperature drop in the reaction part 11 is suppressed, and a high temperature state necessary as a reaction condition is favorably maintained. The alkaline agent is for neutralizing an acid such as hydrochloric acid generated when the acid generation component such as chlorine is contained in the waste liquid to form a salt to prevent corrosion.
[0016]
The fluid after the oxidation reaction under supercritical conditions is in a state where the supercritical water is the main component as described above and various gases generated therein and a small amount of precipitated inorganic solid matter are mixed. Such a fluid is cooled in the cooling unit 13 by the high-pressure water flowing through the outer flow path 10 as described above. In that case, since the high-pressure water flowing through the outer flow path 10 is relatively low temperature, the cooling efficiency is good. Therefore, by setting the cooling unit 13 to a certain length, the temperature of the fluid after the reaction is lower than a critical temperature of about 300 ° C. Can be cooled down, and a considerable amount can be condensed.
[0017]
On the other hand, a part of the inorganic substance produced by the oxidation reaction is in a dry micron-sized powder immediately after the reaction, but when cooled in the cooling section, it has a scale with adhesion. Become an ingredient. However, as described above, the supercritical water is cooled and a considerable amount thereof is condensed to become water, so that it is discharged together with this water. As a result, the adhesion of scale to the inside of the intermediate cylinder can be reduced.
[0018]
The discharged fluid enters the gas-liquid separator 27 and is taken out as gas, water, and solid content from above and below, respectively. As described above, the gas passes through the heat recovery device 21 and is cooled by preheating the high-pressure water, passes through the constant pressure valve 29, is reduced to near atmospheric pressure, and is ejected into the water of the first flash tank 28. Is absorbed from the gas outlet 28a. The water vapor introduced along with the gas is condensed and discharged from the liquid outlet 28b.
[0019]
Water and solid content are ejected into the second flash tank 32 through the drain separator 30 and the constant pressure valve 31. The water vapor generated therein and the gas separated and mixed in the water are discharged from the gas outlet 32 b and introduced into the first flash tank 28. Water and solids are discharged from the liquid outlet 32a. Although not shown, the water in the first and second flash tanks is cooled by a cooling pipe or the like. Further, the water discharged from these may be reused as clean water supplied to the pump 20 after necessary treatments such as deaeration, pH adjustment, and softening.
[0020]
In the supercritical reaction apparatus operated as described above, according to the high-pressure reaction vessel to which the present invention is applied, the high-pressure water that has absorbed heat from the high-temperature fluid in the cooling section 13 in the outer flow path 10 is inverted as in the conventional case. Since the whole amount is once taken out and reheated by the heater 22 without being put into the inner reaction part, the high-pressure water is surely put in the vicinity of the critical temperature or sufficiently higher before being put into the reaction part 11. To reach the temperature condition necessary for starting the reaction. In addition, since the final temperature can be easily and freely set by the heater 22 so as to meet the reaction conditions that may change to some extent depending on the object to be treated, operational flexibility can be obtained.
[0021]
In addition, since the high pressure water is finally heated by the heater 22 in this way, it is not necessary to raise the temperature to the critical temperature in the high pressure reaction vessel. It is not necessary to preheat to a high temperature with a heater. In this example, the exhaust heat is recovered by the heat recovery device 21. Therefore, the high-temperature fluid after the reaction is cooled by the high-pressure water having a relatively low temperature in the outer flow path 10, and the heat transfer temperature difference in the cooling section is increased, so that the cooling effect is improved. As a result, the reaction fluid can be lowered to a temperature lower than that of the conventional one by heat recovery only by making the cooling unit 13 to a certain length, and a corresponding amount can be condensed. Therefore, according to the present invention, the thermal performance can be improved while suppressing the apparatus cost without lengthening the pressure vessel and the intermediate cylinder so much.
[0022]
Furthermore, since the gap 12 is formed by providing a triple portion in the high-pressure reaction vessel, this portion is filled with a reaction gas to exert a heat insulation effect, and heat transfer between the fluid in the reaction section and the external high-pressure water is performed. The high temperature in the supercritical state in the reaction part 11 can be maintained, and good reaction conditions can be maintained. In addition, only high-pressure water is allowed to flow into the outer flow path 10, and waste liquid and oxygen are not put therein, and there is no opening reversal portion where the high-pressure water is electrically connected to the reaction water as in the prior art. Therefore, the inside of the outer cylinder 1a of the pressure vessel 1 is not corroded by components, reaction products and oxygen in the waste liquid. As a result, it is not necessary to use a high-grade corrosion-resistant material for the outer cylinder 1a, and it is not necessary to provide an extra thickness for corrosion.
[0023]
On the other hand, since the intermediate cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3 are corroded by reaction products and the like, it is necessary to use a highly corrosion resistant material for these. However, since the inside of the high-pressure reaction vessel is almost at the same pressure by the constant pressure valves 29 and 31, the intermediate cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3 are hardly subjected to circumferential stress due to pressure. Therefore, a thin material can be used for these. As a result, the cost of the high-pressure reaction vessel can be reduced as a whole.
[0024]
Further, since the waste liquid does not flow in the outer flow path 10 as described above, there is no scale component and scale does not adhere to the wall surface. On the other hand, inside the intermediate cylinder 2, since the amount of condensate of the fluid in the critical state increases due to the improvement of the cooling effect as described above, most of the scale components that are cooled and cause adhesion are discharged to the outside together with the condensate. be able to. As a result, adhesion of scale to the inside of the intermediate cylinder is reduced. In addition, since the high pressure water sent to the heater 22 does not contain a non-condensable gas, heat exchange efficiency is good in heat exchange with the reaction fluid or heating in the heater.
[0025]
FIG. 2 shows an example in which a guide cylinder 14 and a scale peeling member 15 are provided in a high-pressure reaction vessel as a structural part for scaling.
The guide cylinder 14 guides the fluid after the reaction in the reaction unit 11 to be ejected from the central portion. As a result, the ash-like scale component generated by the reaction existing in the fluid is ejected to the lower side of the fluid that has already been cooled and liquefied in the cooling unit 13, and is mixed and adsorbed thereto. Then, such a scale component directly hits the wall surface of the intermediate cylinder 2 in the cooling unit 13 to be cooled, thereby preventing a problem of being attached to the wall surface as it is.
[0026]
The scale peeling member 15 is formed by attaching a notch spiral 15b around the core material 15a, and is detachably attached to the inner cylinder 3 by fitting or the like. The expansion / contraction action due to heat, that is, in use and in the cold state The intermediate cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 3 are used to expand and contract in opposite directions, and the scale attached to the inner surface of the intermediate cylinder 2 is scraped off at the leading edge of the spiral.
[0027]
By providing such a structural portion, it is possible to reduce the adhesion of the scale, and to reduce the maintenance work for removing the scale by disassembling the high-pressure reaction vessel. Further, when the apparatus is stopped, the scale attached to the inner surface of the intermediate cylinder 2 can be scraped off by simply rotating the inner cylinder 3 together with the lid 1c without opening the container, thereby facilitating the work. Can do.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, a high-pressure reaction vessel for reacting an object to be processed in a supercritical water environment includes a pressure vessel, an intermediate divider, and an inner divider each having necessary components. And high pressure water from the water inlet on one side of the pressure vessel into the outer space formed between the intermediate partition, and once out from the water outlet to heat appropriately. It can be heated freely by means. As a result, before entering high pressure water from the water re-entry into the inner space, it is necessary to start the reaction to reliably raise the temperature to a temperature close to the critical temperature or sufficiently higher, and to decompose the material to be treated. A certain temperature can be reliably reached. In addition, when it is necessary to change the set temperature of the high-temperature high-pressure water introduced from the water re-entrance, the temperature can be changed easily and freely by adjusting the heater to be provided outside. A degree of freedom in driving can be obtained.
[0029]
The intermediate partition and the inner partition are provided from one end and the other end, respectively, and the inner partition reaches one end so as to form an inner space up to the position where the reaction takes place inside. Since the inner space is provided as a reaction processing part of the object to be processed, the inside of the intermediate partition formed continuously therewith can be used as a cooling part for the fluid after the reaction. In this case, since the high-pressure water can be finally heated by an external heating means as described above, it is put into the external space at an appropriately low temperature without special preheating, and the recovery efficiency of the reaction heat is improved, and the cooling part is appropriately The condensate amount of the reaction fluid can be increased by increasing the length.
[0030]
Furthermore, since a gap is formed between the intermediate partition and the inner partition and the conduction of the gap is limited by the sealing means, the gas generated by the reaction treatment of the object to be processed in the inner space is filled in the gap. It exerts an adiabatic effect, greatly restricts heat transfer between the fluid in the reaction space in the inner space and the high-pressure water in the outer space, maintains a high supercritical temperature in the reaction portion, and maintains good reaction conditions. Can last. Also, only high-pressure water is allowed to flow into the outer space, and the object to be treated and oxygen are not put into the outer space. Will not be corroded by. As a result, it is not necessary to use a high-grade and expensive corrosion-resistant material for the main part of the pressure vessel, and it is not necessary to provide an extra thickness for corrosion.
[0031]
On the other hand, since the intermediate partition and the inner partition are corroded by reaction products and the like, it is necessary to use a highly corrosion-resistant material for these. However, since the inside of the high-pressure reaction vessel is generally brought to substantially the same pressure by a constant pressure valve or the like, the circumferential stress due to the pressure is hardly applied to both partitions. Therefore, a thin material can be used for these. As a result, the cost of the high-pressure reaction vessel can be reduced as a whole.
[0032]
Further, since the object to be processed is not put in the outer space as described above, there is no scale component and scale does not adhere to the wall surface. On the other hand, inside the intermediate partition, it is possible to condense a lot of fluid in the supercritical state as described above, so that most of the scale components that have been cooled and become adherent are adsorbed and dissolved in the condensed water, At the same time, it can be discharged to the outside. As a result, adhesion of scale to the inside of the intermediate partition is reduced. Moreover, since the high-pressure water sent to the external heating means does not contain non-condensable gas, the heat exchange efficiency in the heat exchange with the fluid after the reaction and the heating with the heater is good also in this respect.
