Simulation Study on Centrifugal Spray Evaporation Characteristics and Process Optimization of Desulfurization Wastewater

Abstract

As an advanced treatment of desulfurization wastewater, centrifugal spray drying technology, which can achieve a zero liquid discharge target, has attracted wide attention and great interest in recent years. However, the results of previous studies were based on the laboratory-scale centrifugal spray dryer. In order to study the evaporation characteristics of desulfurization wastewater and the parameter optimization of the dryer, the evaporation model of wastewater droplets was established. The effects of parameters such as the angle of the deflectors, gas–liquid ratio and atomizer speed on droplet evaporation were studied by numerical simulation. The results show that with the increase in the angle of the deflectors, the swirl effect of flue gas flow field is more obvious and the time and axial distance required for the complete evaporation of the droplets are shorter. Reducing the gas–liquid ratio will make the average evaporation time longer. Moreover, a higher atomizer speed is helpful for the evaporation of the droplets. The optimum gas–liquid ratio and rotational speed are found to be 9300 m3/Nm3 and 16,000 rpm, respectively.

“…Na 2 CO 3 •1,5H 2 O 2 забезпечило високий ступінь деградації сульфаметазину навіть за нейтрального pH реакційного середовища (Li et al, 2021). Основними реакційними формами, що брали участь у деградації сульфаметазину, були гідроксильні й карбонатні радикали, супероксидний аніон-радикал і синглетний кисень.…”

“…Due to the complexity of the equipment and to significant energy costs, membrane methods are not widely spread in water treatment (Ali, 2021). The thermal method is characterized by even higher energy consumption compared to membrane methods (Zhao, Feng, Li & Li, 2021) The use of solar energy simplifies the technology and reduces the cost of evaporation of concentrates of various compositions (Zhang, Shi et al, 2021).…”
