Invent technical problem to be solved
Therefore, the method and apparatus of the object of the present invention is to provide in the subcritical water resolution process continuously, efficient being produced useful thing well.
Other purposes of the present invention are to be provided in the continuous subcritical water resolution process of the object being treated that contains solid content; can control object being treated decomposition reaction, can change on a large scale and then can reduce installation cost, optionally with the method and apparatus of the required useful thing of high efficiency production.
The method of technical solution problem
The inventor etc. investigate the decomposition development principle of the solid content of subcritical state in order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, and found that following method and apparatus.That is, the present invention is as described below.
Under the subcritical state of water,, decompose and sharply carry out though also be not under the supercriticality.The object being treated that is supplied to from introducing port reaction vessel with the water of subcritical state in case contact, then decompose through the time carry out.That is, with corresponding degraded carrying out of holdup time.If the decomposition of object being treated is excessively carried out, then organic matter is broken down into carbonic acid gas and water, becomes to be collected in useful things such as decomposing the stage obtains in the way organic acid, amino acid.Therefore, in order to collect useful thing, must decompose the moment that is broken down into required useful thing by appropriateness, the liquid that will contain analyte takes out from reaction vessel.The liquid that decomposition is proceeded to suitable decomposing state from reaction vessel takes out, and returns to common state from subcritical state, and then the dissolving power of water descends.Therefore, the low composition of hydrophily in oil reservoir, composition that hydrophily is high separates by layering in water layer, can reclaim useful thing efficiently.
Among the present invention, the liquid that will contain analyte takes out from one or more export mouths continuously, forms stable or pseudo-stable CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION in reaction vessel.The holdup time of object being treated is by the distance and the flow velocity decision of distance introducing port.That is, the CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION of required useful thing is corresponding with the distance apart from introducing port.By formation of the present invention,, therefore can efficient reclaim useful thing well from the export mouth of being located at the high position of required analyte concentration because above-mentioned required analyte is taken out.It should be noted that also to have and do not form the situation that steady concentration distributes.For example, when decomposing the organic matter attached to mud or sand, undecomposed sand, mud are put aside in the tower bottom as fixed bed or fluidized bed.For fear of this situation, the solid conveying end is set at the bottom of tower, when above-mentioned situation takes place, can from here solids be taken out off and on.
It should be noted that owing to be not subcritical state, therefore decomposition stops if will containing the liquid of analyte from reaction vessel takes out. still, during stopping fully, decompose in the reality and all carrying out until decomposition.Therefore, the liquid that preferably will contain analyte from following position takes out, and described position is compared with the position that required useful substrate concentration becomes the peak, a little near introducing port.In addition, often decomposing certain being decomposed during thing, export mouth is fixed on the optimum position in advance and gets final product; When the processing difference is decomposed thing, can consider position, taking-up amount, the crushing of export mouth, suitably set.
Maximum of the present invention is characterized as, in order fully to decompose object being treated, until the solid content of object being treated decompose fully or in the solid content that constitutes by inorganic matter and organic matter as bone contained organic matter all disappear, above-mentioned solid content is stayed in the reaction vessel; On the other hand, for the composition excessive decomposition that suppresses to dissolve the object being treated in subcritical water or suppress the carbonization that thermal decomposition causes, can adjust subcritical water arbitrarily and be trapped in time in the reaction vessel.The present invention is the proportion that utilizes gravity and solid content, in fixed bed, fluidized bed and subcritical water dissolving layer (piston fluid layer) three layers, form above-mentioned fluidized bed and subcritical water solution layer at least by this order, with regard to above-mentioned subcritical water dissolving layer, flow through distance and flow velocity by adjusting it, make the holdup time of holdup time of above-mentioned solid content and subcritical water different, adjustment can be dissolved the degree of decomposition of the composition in the above-mentioned object being treated of subcritical water, reclaims the production method of target resolution process thing.
That is, decompose inadequate solid content and stay on fixed bed and the fluidized bed, accept decomposition reaction by subcritical water.On the other hand, the composition that produces by this decomposition is dissolved in the subcritical water, is positioned at subcritical water layer.This subcritical laminar flow is to the downstream direction of reaction vessel.Therefore, flow through distance and flow velocity, can adjust the time of decomposition reaction by adjusting it.Take out from reaction vessel if will flow through part or all of subcritical water dissolving layer of suitable distance, stop decomposition reaction, then more decomposition can not take place, can take out the target analyte.For example, as bone etc., be not organic matter when solid content but when containing organic inorganic matter, can dissolve by the decomposition that subcritical water carries out in the bone, particle is cut apart thus, particle diameter diminishes, and finally becomes calcium phosphate powder.In this process, form by particle diameter and begin the fixed bed that the particle of particle diameter constitutes greater than liquidation; Begin the fluidized bed that the particle of particle diameter constitutes by particle diameter less than liquidation; And further corpusculed, become identical speed, be the state of piston flow with subcritical water, contain 3 layers of subcritical water dissolving layer of powdered calcium phosphate.With regard to this subcritical water dissolving layer, by adjusting the distance that this laminar flow is crossed, can adjust organic degree of decomposition, can reclaim the target analyte.Even if it should be noted that when organic matter in the above-mentioned bone is toxicants such as pathogenicity prion or pathogenicity material, also they can be decomposed by this decomposable process.In addition, as plastics, when broken particle itself diminishes owing to subcritical water decomposes,, form the zone of fixed bed, fluidized bed and piston flow with above-mentioned same.By this method, can be better than step continous way with efficient and handle.

Use following the carrying out of resolution process of the object being treated of Fig. 1 device.At first, pulverize object being treated in advance and make it become particle, with water hybrid modulation slurries.These slurries are sent to pressue device 1 pressurization by pipe.Then, pressurized slurries are sent to heater 2 heating, become subcritical state.The slurries of subcritical state are fed to the bottom of reaction vessel 3 by introducing port 8.In this reaction vessel 3, by under begin to form respectively fixed bed, fluidized bed and subcritical water dissolving layer.Any taking-up from the export mouth 101~106 that is located at reaction vessel 3 tops and sidepiece of subcritical water dissolving layer.The subcritical water dissolving layer that is removed is situated between by cooling tube 4 and counterbalance valve 5, is recycled to reaction and finishes in the thing recycling can 6.
(heater pressue device)
Above-mentioned heater 1 is not particularly limited and can uses known heater.For example, can enumerate electric heater, induction heating device, the heating by hot coal profit steam etc.As above-mentioned pressue device 2, can use force (forcing) pump etc.
(gatherer)
Above-mentioned gatherer is the device that the mixture of water and object being treated is directed into reaction vessel 3.Be not particularly limited as gatherer, for example can utilize high pressure press-in device etc.Among the present invention, be directed in the reaction unit after preferably the mixture of object being treated and subcritical water being made slurries.Like this, above-mentioned pressue device 1 can also be used as gatherer.As a result, there is the high pressure press-in device (pressue device) of 1 costliness to get final product, can reduces installation cost.When pressue device 1 is also used as gatherer, as following, object being treated is directed in the reaction vessel 3.With pulverize in advance, solid content in the object being treated of corpusculed mixes with water, makes pulpous state.Then, after this paste mixture heated in heater 1, by pressue device 2 in introducing port 8 is directed into reaction vessel 3. subcritical water decomposing processor of the present invention can also have the corpusculed device that the solid content that is used for pulverizing in advance object being treated carries out corpusculed.
In the device of the present invention, the decomposition of object being treated preferably uses subcritical water to carry out.The water of supercritical water and liquid than have strong oxidizing force, diffusion coefficient is big, therefore is excellent reaction dissolvent.But supercritical water almost is decomposed into carbon dioxide with all object being treateds.The oxidizing force of subcritical water is weaker than supercritical water, but has the abundant hydrolysis power that is used to obtain useful thing and to the abundant extraction power of oil and aliphatic acid etc.In addition, subcritical water is compared with supercritical water, and is little to the corrosivity of metal etc.As a result, can not use expensive material such as the anti-corrosion Langaloy of haas troy, dilval, and use the mild steel (carbon steel) etc. of the cheapness of in common pressure vessel, using as the material of reaction unit.Even if than under the conditions of higher, also can use the material of comparing cheap a lot of SUS316 degree with the anti-corrosion Langaloy of haas troy, dilval etc. in the corrosivity that generates organic acid and so on.It should be noted that among the present invention, can and use subcritical water and supercritical water as required.In addition, can also in water, add acid, alcohol etc. as subcritical water.
(reaction vessel)
In the device of the present invention, the shape of reaction vessel 3 is not particularly limited, but is preferably cylindric.In at least one place of the upper end of this reaction vessel 3 or bottom, be provided with introducing port 8.Object being treateds such as above-mentioned slurries are situated between and are fed in the reaction vessel by this introducing port 8.The internal diameter of introducing port 8 as mentioned above, needs only 1/5~1/15 times scope at above-mentioned vertical cylinder shape inside diameter of vessel.If the internal diameter of introducing port 8 is as described below in above-mentioned scope, then can control the flow velocity of the object being treated in the reaction vessel 3.For example, if, slurries are directed in the reaction vessel 3 from introducing port 8 with transporting velocity or more than or equal to the speed of transporting velocity, then since the internal diameter in the reaction vessel 3 greater than the internal diameter of introducing port, the flow velocity that therefore is fed to the slurries in the container is slack-off.The result, because the flow velocity of slurries is adjusted to more than the liquidation commencing speed (transporting velocity) of particle, therefore can in reaction vessel 3, form the solid-liquid fluidized bed. here, if so-called transporting velocity is meant particle sedimentation or speed of floating in static fluid. subcritical water is crossed in the reaction vessel 3 with the velocity flow more than the transporting velocity, then is included in solid content in the object being treated also all along with liquid stream flows.As a result, the reaction time between solid content and the subcritical water dissolved matter becomes and does not have difference.If subcritical water is crossed in the reaction vessel 3 with the velocity flow below the liquidation commencing speed, then solid content does not move, if form fixed bed. subcritical water is crossed in the reaction vessel 3 with the velocity flow more than the liquidation commencing speed, and then solid content forms fluidized bed.That is, formed the solid-liquid fluidized bed.
When having the bigger unreacted solid content of granularity in a large number in reaction vessel 3, the introducing port in reaction vessel upper end or bottom is provided with the part place becomes the state of fixed bed (fixed bed).Bigger, the unreacted solid content of granularity then is subjected to the reaction of subcritical water, and particle diameter diminishes.The particle that particle diameter diminishes to the diffluence of the downstream of reaction vessel, forms solid-liquid fluidized bed (fluidized bed) by flowing of subcritical water.The useful thing that decomposition reaction by subcritical water generates is dissolved in the subcritical water, Yi Bian form piston flow (subcritical water dissolving layer), Yi Bian move to the downstream direction of reaction vessel 3.In reaction vessel 3, be provided with to be provided with on the side of introducing port and stir the broken device that forms the solid content of said fixing phase.Thus, can promote decomposition reaction more efficiently.
Export mouth is located on the position different with above-mentioned introducing port 8 set positions.Export mouth can be on a plurality of positions on the downstream side of the set position of introducing port.In the example of Fig. 1, above-mentioned export mouth is formed on to a plurality of positions on the above-mentioned reaction vessel sidewall (101~108) along above-mentioned liquid flow path direction.By a plurality of export mouths are set like this, piston flow can be taken out from reaction vessel 3.Specifically, can be corresponding to the holdup time that is dissolved in the object being treated in the subcritical water, be the subcritical water resolving time of processed composition, the subcritical water flow direction in the reaction vessel 3 is set the position of export mouth.In the example of Fig. 1, can be chosen in any in the export mouth (101~108) that forms on a plurality of positions, piston flow is taken out. like this,, can adjust the subcritical water decomposition reaction time by from any export mouth, piston flow being taken out.3
Being located at the introducing port 8 of reaction vessel 3 and the position of export mouth determines according to the density of solid content in the object being treated and the density of subcritical water.For example, if the solid content density in the object being treated that imports greater than the density of subcritical water, then introducing port 8 is located at the bottom of reaction vessel 3, export mouth is located at the top of the set position of above-mentioned introducing port.On the contrary, if the solid content density in the object being treated that imports less than the density of subcritical water, then introducing port 8 is located at the upper end of reaction vessel 3, export mouth is located at the bottom of the set position of above-mentioned introducing port.Perhaps, when the solid content density in the object being treated that imports is to mix when depositing greater than the density of subcritical water with less than the density of subcritical water, introducing port 8 can be located at the upper end and the bottom of reaction vessel 3.At this moment, can lay respectively at 2 export mouths of desired location or from same export mouth, the subcritical water solution layer is taken out from upper and lower end parts.In addition, when in the solid content of density, containing a small amount of density, can be only introducing port be set on the bottom of reaction vessel, being used to more than one be set in reaction vessel suppressing the filter that the little solid content of above-mentioned density swims less than the solid content of subcritical water greater than subcritical water.
The solid content of object being treated rests in fixed bed or the solid-liquid fluidized bed, is decomposed by subcritical water from the surface of solid content.In addition, when as bone etc., solid content is that the organic matter in the bone is decomposed and can dissolve by subcritical water when containing organic inorganic matter, and the solid content particle that becomes bone is cut apart thus, particle diameter diminishes, and finally becomes the powder of calcium phosphate.The fluidized bed that in the reaction vessel, in the process of decomposing, formed the fixed bed that constitutes by the particle that begins particle diameter greater than liquidation, constitutes by the particle that begins particle diameter less than liquidation and further powdered become identical speed, be 3 layers of the subcritical water dissolving layer that contains powdered calcium phosphate of plug flow regime with subcritical water.For this subcritical water dissolving layer, by adjusting the distance that flows through of subcritical water dissolving layer, can adjust organic degree of decomposition, reclaim the target analyte.Even if when organic matter pathogenicity prion toxicants such as (abnormal prions) in the bone or pathogenicity material,, also they can be decomposed, not have and poison by above-mentioned resolution process process.
When being pressed and delivered to the slurries pipe arrangement in the reaction vessel 3, the flow velocity of slurries is preferably transporting velocity or its above speed of solid content.Speed during the pipe arrangement pressurized delivered is when transporting velocity is following, and the solid content composition that is contained in the slurries is deposited in the pipe arrangement bottom, becomes the reason of pipe plug plug.
The density of subcritical water and viscosity are 887kg/m down at 178 ℃ (1MPa saturation waters)
3, 0.541kg/mhr, be down 778kg/m at 364 ℃ (5MPa saturation waters)
3, 0.359kg/mhr, be down 688kg/m at 311 ℃ (10MPa saturation waters)
3, 0.294kg/mhr. for example because the subcritical water wood powder density of soaking into is about 1000kg/m
3, therefore, can form fluidized bed by with suitable flow rate subcritical water.
When the density of contained solid content was greater than the density of subcritical water in the object being treated, transporting velocity can be calculated by the relation of solid content and particle diameter according to the physics value of subcritical water.Liquidation commencing speed (Umf) can be calculated with the Wen formula. and on the other hand, transporting velocity (Ut) can be calculated by the formula of fluid resistance.Liquidation commencing speed (Umf) is meant the fluid resistance that acts on particle and the flow velocity of gravity balance.By with the above flow velocity pressurized delivered subcritical water of liquidation commencing speed (Umf), can form the solid-liquid fluidized bed.In addition, during with the flow velocity pressurized delivered subcritical water more than the transporting velocity (Ut), as mentioned above, solid content flows out from the export mouth of reaction vessel.
Gu the true specific gravity of shape particle (dividing Gu form) is 1500kg/m
3The time, be shown in following table 1 with respect to the liquidation commencing speed (Umf) of each particle diameter (mm) that calculates with the saturation water of 1MPa, 5MPa, 10MPa, transporting velocity (Ut) and than (Ut/Umf).
Table 1
As shown in Table 1, the solid content that is contained in the object being treated that is hydrolyzed is ground into suitable size, makes slurries, can transfer with above-mentioned solid content non-settling abundant speed in conveying thus, can heat slurries, in reaction vessel, obtain the abundant flow regime of slurries.For example, when making particle diameter be the object being treated slurry reaction of 0.1mm in the 5MPa saturation water, transporting velocity (Ut) is 0.022m/s.Afterwards, if carry slurries with its 0.22m/s of 10 times, then slurries can fully be carried, be heated.When these slurries are fed in the reaction vessel with 10 times of internal diameters of introducing port, empty tube speed becomes 1/100. result, the empty tube speed of the subcritical water in the solid-liquid fluidized bed becomes 0.0022m/s, can form speed about 4 times to the solid-liquid fluidized bed of liquidation commencing speed (Umf).Here, so-called empty tube speed is meant the speed that the subcritical water fluid moves in reaction vessel 3.
By table 1 also as can be known, the liquidation commencing speed (Umf) of solids is different with the particle diameter of solids with transporting velocity (Ut).Particle diameter is big more, and it is big that then liquidation commencing speed (Umf) and transporting velocity (Ut) become simultaneously.Therefore, when with certain empty tube speed the different object being treated crushed material of particle diameter being risen in reaction vessel 3, the solids that particle diameter is big does not form the solid-liquid fluidized bed, but fixed bed is formed on the bottom in reaction vessel 3.Formed also hydrolysis of the big solids of the particle diameter of fixed bed by causing by subcritical water, analyte from the surface of solids begin dissolving, particle diameter diminishes, and rises formation solid-liquid fluidized bed reaction vessel 3 in.It should be noted that when the object being treated that contains the particle diameter solid content composition more consistent with true specific gravity being carried out the subcritical water decomposition,, then often can not form fixed bed (fixed bed) if its particle diameter begins particle diameter less than liquidation.
Like this, in the present invention,, can set powder liquor ratio and reaction time in a wide range by density, particle diameter and the reaction temperature of the solid content that reacts.Flow can pass through pressue device, gatherer control.Can be when for example, using force (forcing) pump by its rotation number control flow.
