为了确定较优的污泥过热蒸汽干燥工艺参数,搭建了常压过热蒸汽干燥试验台,选取相对单位能耗和平均干燥强度为评价指标,采用三因素二次正交旋转组合试验设计,建立了污泥过热蒸汽干燥工艺参数评价指标与过热蒸汽温度、污泥质量和过热蒸汽流量之间的数学模型。通过试验数据分析表明:建立的相对单位能耗和平均干燥强度回归方程决定系数R2分别为0.842和0.797;3个因子对2个评价指标影响大小的顺序均为:污泥质量〉蒸汽流量〉蒸汽温度;污泥过热蒸汽干燥相对单位能耗最优工艺条件为:蒸汽温度为215℃,污泥质量为26 g(厚度约为8 mm),蒸汽流量为30 m^3/h,在此条件下相对单位能耗预测值为281.313 k J/g,验证试验得到实际相对单位能耗为280 k J/g,相对误差为0.467%。该试验结果可为污泥过热蒸汽干燥工艺参数优化及干燥设备研制提供参考。
The sludge is known as the byproduct generated in the process of pollution control. It is featured by the high moisture content, complicated components and massive deadly microorganism, thus easily leading to secondary pollution. The dehydration is a necessary process to realize the sludge harmless reduce the sludge amount and improve the resource utilization. The thermal drying is a feasible method to reduce the moisture content. The process of hot air drying will cause a large amount of harmful exhaust gas, adding to the difficulty and cost of controlling exhaust gas. The sludge drying, which uses superheated steam as the drying medium, will further lower the risk of explosion and reduce the harmful gas account due to the absence of oxygen in the drying medium. However, the superheated steam drying of sludge is also faced with the problems such as energy consumption and long drying time. Hence, it has become a major task to dry the sludge in an economic and effective manner. The purpose of this research is to determine the technological parameters for optimal sludge superheated steam drying. Besides building the experimental device for superheated steam drying under atmospheric pressure and choosing the relative unit energy consumption and the average drying strength as the evaluation indices, this paper has also designed the experiment of three-factor quadratic orthogonal rotation combination. A mathematical model is also built, which adopts the technological parameters for sludge superheated steam drying including superheated steam temperature sludge quality and superheated steam flow. In addition, this paper has employed the single-factor and two-factor method to analyze the relationship between various factors and evaluation indices. According to the analysis on experimental data, the established regression equation of establishing is significant, and the coefficient of determination on the relative unit energy consumption and the average drying strength were 0.842 and 0.797, respectively.
