The above-mentioned patent application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the field of regeneration of contaminated soil, and particularly relates to a method and system for thermal desorption treatment of organic-contaminated soil and treatment of desorbed waste gas.


BACKGROUND

The problem of soil contamination in China is very prominent, and there is an urgent need for a remedy technology. Contaminated soil can be divided into organic-contaminated soil and inorganic-contaminated soil. According to the nature of organic pollutants, technologies for remediation of organic-contaminated soil mainly include thermal desorption, steam extraction, chemical oxidation/reduction, a fixation/stabilization method, an incineration method, a microbial method, a phytoremediation method, and the like. The thermal desorption technology is one of the effective methods for remediation of organic-contaminated soil. Different heat sources are used to heat the organic-contaminated soil to be close to or above the boiling point of organic matter by heating, so that organic pollutants are volatilized and separated from the soil, and then the desorbed waste gas is treated to achieve the goal of remediation. The thermal desorption method can effectively remove volatile and semi-volatile organic pollutants in soil, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This technology began in the 1980s, and the proportion of remediation of organic-decontaminated soil by the organic desorption technology in the United States reaches more than 70%; however, in China, the thermal desorption technology is just in the beginning stage. Existing technologies for remediation of organic-contaminated soil by thermal desorption mainly differ in heat sources and fuels used, energy recovery and energy saving methods, methods for treatment and disposal of desorbed waste gas, and the like.


The heat sources and fuels are the main aspects that determine the cost and feasibility of remediation. Low-cost and easily-accessible heat sources and fuels are favorable for the implementation and promotion of the technology. The heat sources and fuels used in the prior art include: (1) combustion tail gas generated by desorbed organic pollutants as a fuel (CN 106216382 A), (2) electric energy, natural gas or hot flue gas (CN 104971819 A, CN106140801 A, CN105964671 A, CN106 799392 A, CN101972773 B, CN102069088 B), (3) waste heat of high temperature flue gas, high temperature air, high temperature steam or high temperature liquid (CN 104307865 A), (4) natural gas, biomass fuel, and the like (CN104646409 A), (5) coal, liquefied gas or natural gas (CN 101530858A, CN104 759464 A), (6) high temperature flue gas generated by mixed combustion of gas and desorbed waste gas (CN103962374 A), and (7) clean tail gas of a power plant (CN101947543 B). The prior art generally uses gaseous fuels such as natural gas, solid fuels such as coal and liquid fuels such as biomass fuel as fuels for combustion, to generate a high temperature gas for desorption, or directly uses electrolytic heat to achieve thermal desorption, where the gaseous fuels have the problems of being high in cost, limited in source and unfavorable for on-site remediation and use in practical application; the liquid fuels are convenient to transport, but if the liquid fuels are only used to generate high temperature gas, there is a problem of high cost; the costs of the solid fuels are low, but there are problems that a combustion device is complicated and the generated high temperature gas has a high impurity content, making the subsequent purification difficult. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN106140801 A discloses a method for remediation of organic-contaminated soil, in which heavily-contaminated soil is preheated with hot tail gas of a thermal desorption device, hot flue gas of a natural gas combustion device is a heat source, the heavily-contaminated soil is subjected to thermal desorption treatment by indirect heating, and the soil is mixed with lightly-contaminated soil and then subjected to low-temperature thermal desorption, and waste gas containing organic pollutants and generated by desorption is mixed with natural gas for combustion, thereby achieving the goal of decomposition. The problem of the technology is that the introduction of the waste gas into a combustion system will affect combustion process conditions of the natural gas, which is not conducive to the control of the combustion process. The Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN 106216382 A discloses a system and method for thermal desorption treatment of organic-decontaminated soil, according to which heat-carrying gas is generated by using the combustion of desorbed organic pollutants, the heat-carrying gas exchanges heat with the desorbed waste gas, and part of all of the heat-carrying gas enters an adsorption system to perform desorption on the contaminated soil by indirect heating. The system utilizes the waste gas generated by desorption as an energy source, and no fuel is added except for the start-up phase of the system. For the soil subjected to contamination by high-concentration organic matter, the system has effects of high efficiency and energy saving. However, if the concentration of organic pollutants in the soil is lower, desorbed waste gas is not sufficient for spontaneous combustion, and when sufficient heat is provided for desorption, the system application is limited. At present, there is no disclosure of a technical solution of using a liquid fuel as an absorbent for purifying desorbed waste gas, and using a mixture of the liquid fuel and desorbed organic pollutants as a fuel.


In the prior art, methods for treatment and disposal of desorbed waste gas containing organic pollutants include direct combustion without refueling as a desorption heat source, dedusting purification, and mixing with gas fuels such as natural gas for combustion decomposition (CN106140801 A, CN103962374 A), activated carbon adsorption and purification (CN 103658165 A), dedusting, combustion or direct use for soil preheating (CN 104307864 A, CN 104607455 A), high temperature incineration treatment after dedusting (CN103008337 B, CN105964671 A), condensation method separation and recovery of organic matter in waste gas (CN106799392 A), chemical oxidation/reduction purification treatment (CN102580994B), adsorption and purification treatment after preheating of desorbed air (CN101972773 B, CN102069088 B, CN104607 455B), lye absorption method purification (CN 101530858A), and incineration purification in a cement kiln (CN 102513346 B). In the prior art, a mode of utilizing waste heat of desorbed waste gas is mainly used for preheating or pre-desorption of contaminated soil and preheating of desorbed air, and there is no disclosure of a utilization mode of heat exchange through adsorbed waste gas and the combustion of combustion-supporting air. In the existing technical solution, the adsorbed waste gas is purified by dry methods such as activated carbon adsorption, and the purification efficiency is high, but it is difficult to ensure the treatment effect on adsorbed waste gas with high-concentration and high-humidity organic pollutants, and the cost is low; a condensation recovery method is only suitable for treatment of high-concentration waste gas, and it is difficult for purified gas to reach the emission standard; some technologies adopt a method for decomposition treatment of waste gas by using a combustion system. For example, the Chinese invention patent No. CN103962374 A discloses a system for thermal desorption remediation treatment of organic-contaminated soil, gas and desorbed waste gas are subjected to mixed combustion in a combustion and tail gas treatment system composed of a combustion chamber and a burner to generate high temperature flue gas, and the thermal desorption treatment of the organic-contaminated soil is realized in a double-tube rotary kiln by indirect heating. However, there is no disclosed technology for absorbing and purifying adsorbed waste gas by using an organic solvent such as fuel oil, and there is also no technology of performing mixed combustion of separated organic pollutants and fuels to decompose the pollutants and generate a high temperature gas for thermal desorption of soil.
