Ozone catalytic oxidation tower

Ozone catalytic oxidation tower is an advanced oxidation equipment based on catalytic ozonation technology, widely used in the upgrading and renovation of municipal sewage treatment plants, deep treatment of industrial wastewater in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, industrial park sewage treatment, leachate treatment, surface water purification, and reclaimed water reuse projects. It is mainly suitable for the deep removal of difficult to degrade organic matter after biochemical treatment, reducing the COD of biochemical effluent to a lower level and improving biodegradability. Application scenarios include: ensuring compliance and upgrading of urban sewage treatment plants, deep treatment and reuse of industrial park wastewater, treatment of difficult industrial wastewater such as chemical, printing and dyeing, and pharmaceutical industries, reuse of shale gas extraction wastewater, decolorization and deodorization of polluted surface water bodies, etc.

Product Introduction

Ozone catalytic oxidation tower is a wastewater deep treatment equipment that utilizes the strong oxidizing properties of ozone and combines catalytic technology. The core principle is that under the action of a catalyst, ozone accelerates the decomposition to produce hydroxyl radicals (· OH) with an oxidation-reduction potential of up to 2.8 eV, which non selectively attack and mineralize difficult to degrade organic matter in water, decomposing large molecular organic matter into small molecular substances until carbon dioxide and water. The equipment mainly consists of a tower body, a gas distribution system, a catalyst layer, an inlet and outlet water system, and a control system. The tower body is made of high-strength corrosion-resistant materials, and the gas distribution system is located at the bottom to evenly disperse ozone into the reaction zone. The catalyst layer is filled with a porous carrier loaded with transition metal oxides.

Technical Advantage
High removal efficiency
The COD removal rate can reach over 50% to 90%, and the chromaticity removal rate can reach over 90% to 95%. After treating a certain coal chemical wastewater with heterogeneous ozone catalytic oxidation, the effluent COD remained stable below 40mg/L, with a COD removal rate of over 50% and a chromaticity of less than 10. The removal rate of characteristic pollutants such as volatile phenols can reach over 95%.
Improving biodegradability
The BOD/COD value of recalcitrant organic matter can be increased from 0.1-0.2 to above 0.3-0.4, effectively improving the subsequent biochemical treatment effect.
No secondary pollution
The entire treatment process produces no sludge and no residue, avoiding the problem of large amounts of physical and chemical sludge generated by traditional chemical oxidation methods.
High ozone utilization rate
Catalysts can significantly improve the dissolution and decomposition efficiency of O3 in water, with an ozone utilization rate of over 85% and a treatment efficiency 2-4 times higher than pure ozone oxidation.
Low operating costs
simple process, few equipment, easy operation, and no physical and chemical sludge disposal costs. The operating cost per ton of biochemical wastewater treatment can be controlled below 0.8 yuan, and the comprehensive operating cost per ton of water can be reduced by more than 1 yuan/ton compared to traditional methods.
Small footprint
With high equipment integration, the footprint is only 1/3 to 1/2 of traditional processes such as Fenton method, making it suitable for upgrading and renovation projects with tight site conditions.
High degree of automation
Equipped with a PLC control system, it can monitor parameters such as pH, flow rate, ozone concentration, and exhaust concentration in real time, and automatically adjust the ozone dosage according to changes in water quality.
Process Selection

1. Selection by treatment stage: For advanced treatment of biochemical effluent, fixed bed catalytic oxidation towers are preferred for stable operation and low investment; Pre treatment of high concentration refractory organic wastewater using fluidized bed catalytic oxidation tower, with high mass transfer efficiency and strong anti pollution ability; The deep treatment of reclaimed water reuse adopts a combination process of "catalytic oxidation+activated carbon adsorption" to ensure stable effluent quality.

2. Select based on water quality characteristics: For high chromaticity wastewater such as printing and dyeing, papermaking, etc., choose manganese based composite catalysts with good chromaticity removal effect; High toxicity wastewater from chemical and pharmaceutical industries should be treated with efficient catalysts loaded with precious metals or transition metals; Wastewater with high chloride ion content should be treated with specialized catalysts that are resistant to chloride ion poisoning, and reaction conditions should be controlled to avoid the production of disinfection by-products.

3. Selection based on processing scale: For small-scale projects with a daily processing capacity of less than 500m ³, an integrated steel catalytic oxidation tower should be selected; For medium-sized projects with a daily processing capacity of 500-5000m ³, single tower or double tower parallel connection is selected; For large-scale projects with a daily processing capacity>5000m ³, modular design with multiple towers connected in series or parallel is adopted.

4. Selection based on process combination: The front-end needs to be equipped with biochemical treatment processes to remove most easily degradable organic matter; The backend can be equipped with sand filtration, activated carbon filtration or membrane separation processes to further improve the effluent quality; For wastewater with high COD concentration, the combination process of "Fenton+ozone catalytic oxidation" or "electrocoagulation+ozone catalytic oxidation" can be used.
