Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 202110665685.1, filed on Jun. 16, 2021. The content of the aforementioned applications, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to a physical or chemical method for electrically separating droplets, and more particularly to a demulsification-dehydration method by using a chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field.

BACKGROUND

[0003] The waste lubricating oil, known as industrial waste oil, is an industrial hazardous waste formed by gradual aging and deterioration of lubricating oil in use caused by solid impurity and water pollution under the exposure to physical, chemical or human factors. The waste lubricating oil has complex chemical composition, and contains a large number of harmful heavy metals and sulfur, phosphorus and chlorine-containing toxic compounds. The waste lubricating oil should be treated properly, otherwise, it will threaten the ecological environment. Purifying the waste lubricating oil to restore its base oil properties can achieve the recycle of lubricating oil, which not only protects the environment, but also facilitates alleviating the energy resource shortage.

[0004] At present, the demulsification and dehydration of the waste lubricating oil is performed commonly by sedimentation, chemical, centrifugal, electric field and vacuum methods, but these approaches fail to achieve the high efficiency and low energy consumption at the same time. The emerging pulse electric field demulsification method has simple device structure, high efficiency and low energy consumption, which is suitable for the treatment of waste lubricating oil. It has been demonstrated that under the action of the pulse electric field, droplets in oil undergo vibration and deformation, and thus the strength of an oil-water interfacial film is greatly weakened and the droplets are more prone to agglomeration. Additionally, under the optimal electric field frequency, the droplets will resonate, namely the deformation amplitude reaches the maximum without breaking, which increases the collision probability between droplets and realizes the efficient agglomeration and demulsification of the waste lubricating oil.

[0005] Nevertheless, the pulse electric field used for demulsification and dehydration of the waste lubricating oil is usually a constant-frequency periodic pulse, which can only make droplets of single particle size in the oil resonate. For an oil-water system with constantly-changing particle size under the action an electric field, it fails to reach an optimal resonance frequency for all droplets, lowering the demulsification and dehydration efficiency. Chinese patent application publication No. 111773769 A discloses a demulsification method using a chaotic-frequency pulse electric field, in which the waste oil emulsion is subjected to a pulse electric field with constantly-changing frequency. This method enables the full coverage of resonant frequencies of emulsified droplets, and the chaotic-frequency pulse electric field with constant amplitude and equal pulse width can also prevent adverse effects brought by the uncertainty of the electric field amplitude and pulse width. Notwithstanding, this common chaotic-frequency pulse may cause the droplets to produce unsteady vibration, and the stable response under the resonant frequency is insufficient, failing to achieve the desired resonance state and make full use of the pulse electric field.

SUMMARY

[0006] In order to overcome the problems in prior art, the present disclosure provides a demulsification-dehydration method by using a chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field to enable the sufficient stable response of droplets at a resonant frequency during the demulsification. A pulse frequency of the electric field provided herein can cover resonance frequencies of all droplets in the waste oil, and also ensure the steady-state response of droplets, allowing for improved demulsification and dehydration efficiency.

[0032] In an embodiment of a demulsification-dehydration method by using a chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field, a waste oil emulsion is subjected to pretreatment, where the waste oil emulsion includes 10-30% by weight of water, and has a kinematic viscosity of less than 65 mm.sup.2/s at 40.degree. C. The waste oil emulsion is filtered to remove mechanical impurities, and then enters a heat exchanger to control the waste oil emulsion to 40-50.degree. C. Further, the waste oil emulsion is subjected to demulsification and dehydration after entering an electric field demulsifier followed by an oil storage device.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 1, the electric field demulsifier applies the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field to the waste oil emulsion for demulsification and dehydration. The chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field includes multiple pulse electric field groups varying in pulse frequency. The pulse electric field groups are applied to the waste oil emulsion in time sequence. A pulse frequency of each pulse electric field group experiences a chaotic change within a preset range and never repeat.

( - 1 < c 1 < 1 ) ; ##EQU00005.4##

[0035] where .omega..sub.max is a maximum pulse angular frequency; .omega..sub.min is a minimum pulse angular frequency; .rho. is droplet density; R.sub.max is a particle size of a largest droplet in the waste oil emulsion; R.sub.min is a particle size of a smallest droplet in the waste oil emulsion; .gamma. is an oil-water interfacial tension; .omega..sub.n is a pulse angular frequency of a n.sup.th pulse electric field group; and c.sub.n is a value of n.sup.th iteration of logistic map.

[0037] where A is a resistance constant; B is an interfacial restoring force constant; G is an electric field excitation force constant; .mu. is a dynamic viscosity; .sub.0 is a vacuum dielectric constant; .sub.2 is a relative dielectric constant; E is an electric field intensity; .gamma. is an oil-water interfacial tension; R is an initial droplet radius; .rho. is a droplet density; .chi. is a droplet amplitude; q(t) is an electric field signal function, and expressed as

q .function. ( t ) = 1 2 + 2 .pi. .times. ( sin .times. .omega. .times. t + 1 3 .times. sin .times. 3 .times. .omega. .times. t + 1 5 .times. sin .times. 5 .times. .omega. .times. t + ) ; ##EQU00007##

.phi.(.chi.) is a resistance nonlinear function; f (.chi.) is an interfacial restoring force nonlinear function; e(.chi.) is an electric field excitation force nonlinear function; .phi.(.chi.)=0.92-2.1.chi.+1.17.chi..sup.2; f(.chi.)=0.25.chi.-0.06.chi..sup.2 ; e(.chi.)=1.47-0.83.chi.+0.2.chi..sup.2; .omega. is an electric field angular frequency; and t is an electric field action time.

[0038] An electric field output sequence of the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field is determined by an equation expressed as:

E .function. ( t ) = E ( 1 2 + 2 .pi. .times. ( sin ( .omega. i ( t - i = 1 n - 1 k .times. 2 .times. .pi. .omega. i ) ) + 1 3 .times. sin ( 3 .times. .omega. i ( t - i = 1 n - 1 k .times. 2 .times. .pi. .omega. i ) ) + 1 5 .times. sin ( 5 .times. .omega. i ( t - i = 1 n - 1 k .times. 2 .times. .pi. .omega. i ) ) + ) ) , n = 1 , 2 , 3 , ; ##EQU00008##

[0039] where .omega..sub.i, is an electric field angular frequency of an pulse electric field group; and t is an electric field action time.

[0040] In each pulse electric field group, the pulses have a duty cycle of 0.5 and an electric field intensity of 100-500 kV/m.

[0041] Provide below is an example.

[0042] Physical parameters of a oil-water system measured by test instruments are shown in Table 1.

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Physical parameters of waste oil emulsion Density Dynamic Relative Interfacial Particle Vacuum .rho. viscosity .mu. dielectric tension .gamma. size R dielectric (kg/m.sup.3) (Pa s) constant .di-elect cons..sub.2 (N/m) (m) constant .di-elect cons..sub.0 Droplet 998 0.98 .times. 10.sup.-3 80 19 .times. 10.sup.-3 R.sub.max = 2 .times. 10.sup.-3 8.854 .times. 10.sup.-12 Oil 922 60.3 .times. 10.sup.-3 4.6 R.sub.min = 0.3 .times. 10.sup.-3

[0043] (1) For determining a frequency range .omega..sub.max and .omega..sub.min, the above-mentioned physical parameters are input into a frequency calculation equation, expressed as follows:

[0043] .omega. m .times. ax = 3.4152 .gamma. R m .times. i .times. n 2 .times. .rho. = 1187.53 rad / s , ##EQU00009## .omega. m .times. i .times. n = 3.4152 .gamma. R m .times. ax 3 .times. .rho. = 68.99 rad / s . ##EQU00009.2##

[0044] Therefore, the frequency range of the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field .omega..epsilon.(.omega..sub.min,.omega..sub.max)=(68.99,1187.53)rad/s

[0045] (2) For determining a chaos iteration of the pulse frequency between the pulse pulse frequency groups, an initial iteration value is set to c.sub.1=0.35. The .omega..sub.max and .omega..sub.min are plugged into a frequency chaos iteration equation, expressed as follows:

.omega. n = .omega. m .times. ax .times. .omega. m .times. i .times. n ( c n + 1 ) .times. ( .omega. m .times. ax - .omega. m .times. i .times. n ) / 2 + .omega. m .times. i .times. n , n = 1 , 2 , . ##EQU00010##

[0046] A frequency spectrum of the chaotic-frequency pulse group is shown in FIG. 2. (3) For determining the number of the pulses in each electric field groups, an electric field intensity is set as E=2.times.10.sup.5 V/m, initial values of vibration are 0.001, 0.1 and 0.2. A nonlinear vibration equation of the droplet is solved to obtain a vibration response of a droplet having the particle size of R.sub.max, shown in FIG. 3.

[0047] The number of vibration periods where the droplet is stabilized by periodic vibration is the number of the pulses. According to the vibration response, droplet completely stabilizes after the third vibration period, such that the number of the pulses k is 3.

[0048] (4) Since the variation and the number of pulses are determined, an electric field output sequence of the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field is determined by an equation expressed as:

E .function. ( t ) = E ( 1 2 + 2 .pi. .times. ( sin ( .omega. i ( t - i = 1 n - 1 k .times. 2 .times. .pi. .omega. i ) ) + 1 3 .times. sin ( 3 .times. .omega. i ( t - i = 1 n - 1 k .times. 2 .times. .pi. .omega. i ) ) + 1 5 .times. sin ( 5 .times. .omega. i ( t - i = 1 n - 1 k .times. 2 .times. .pi. .omega. i ) ) + ) ) , n = 1 , 2 , 3 , , ##EQU00011##

results are shown in FIG. 4.

[0049] (5) The electric field output sequence is stored in a pulse power supply by programming. A positive pole of the pulse power supply is connected to a positive interface of an electric dehydration device, and a negative pole of the pulse power supply is grounded, such that the waste oil emulsion can be demulsified and dehydrated through an electric field method.

[0050] In this example, the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field has chaotic and periodic characteristics, which overcomes problems that a constant-frequency pulse electric field fails to cover all droplet resonance frequencies in oil emulsion and a pulse electric field with variable frequency fails to satisfy a steady state response, maximizing a demulsification and dehydration efficiency of pulse electric field.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 5, the vibration response of a droplet with particle size R=1.8.times.10.sup.-3 m at the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field is shown. Obviously, there are a chaotic vibration response and a periodic vibration response of the droplet, which have a high vibration amplitude, satisfying an expected vibration result.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 6, the constant-frequency pulse electric field plays a good resonance effect only for droplets in a very small particle size range, and a vibration amplitude of the constant-frequency pulse electric field is slightly higher than a chaotic-frequency pulse electric field and the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field. Nevertheless, the chaotic-frequency pulse electric field and the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field enable all droplets having a high vibration amplitude, which is better than the constant-frequency pulse electric field. In addition, the vibration amplitude of the droplet in the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field is higher than that in the chaotic-frequency pulse electric field. In consequence, the chaotic-frequency pulse group electric field has a better vibratory agglomeration effect.

[0053] Described above are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, which are not intended to limit the disclosure. Any modifications and replacement made by those of ordinary skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the disclosure should fall within the scope of the disclosure defined by the appended claims.
