超声波预处理对污泥干燥特性的影响

城市污泥的高含水率对其处理处置带来了各种不便.超声波由于功率大、穿透能力强、可引起空化作用等特性而在污泥干燥方面具有独特的优势.针对超声波对污泥干燥特性的影响进行实验研究,通过污泥干燥实验研究了超声处理时间、超声波功率、超声水温和干燥温度4种因素对污泥干燥特性的影响.结果表明,超声处理能够加速污泥表面自由水分蒸发和快速结束平稳干燥阶段,有效提高污泥干燥效率;超声处理对污泥干燥特性的改善随超声波功率(100~250 W)、超声水温和干燥温度的升高而更加明显.在低温105℃下干燥时,短时间的超声处理3 min对污泥干燥特性的改善效果最好.超声处理对污泥干燥整体效率的提高使其有望成为污泥低成本干化的有效方法,并为污泥干燥工艺的优化提供参考.

Effects of Ultrasonic Pretreatment on Drying Characteristics of Sewage Sludge

The high water content of sewage sludge has engendered many inconveniences to its treatment and disposal. While ultrasonic takes on unique advantages on the sludge drying because of its high ultrasonic power, mighty penetrating capability and the ability of causing cavitations. Thus this research studies the characteristics influences of ultrasonic bring to the sludge drying and effects of the exposure time, ultrasonic generator power, temperatures of ultrasonic and drying temperature on the drying characteristics of dewatered sludge. Results indicate that ultrasonic pretreatment could speed up evaporation of the free water in sludge surface and help to end the drying stage with constant speed. In addition, ultrasonic treatment can effectively improve the sludge drying efficiency which could be more evident with the rise of the ultrasonic power (100-250 W) , ultrasonic temperature and drying temperature. If dried under low temperature such as 105℃ , sludge will have premium drying characteristics when radiated under ultrasound for a shorter time such as 3 min. In the end, the ultrasonic treatment is expected to be an effective way to the low-cost sludge drying and also be an important reference to the optimization of the sludge drying process because of its effects on the increase of sludge drying efficiency.
