Description
Micro-foam restoration system and method for organic contaminated soil Technical Field The invention relates to the technical field of soil pollution remediation, in particular to a micro-foam remediation system and method for organic polluted soil, which are particularly suitable for in-situ or ex-situ remediation of organic polluted soil difficult to degrade such as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), petroleum hydrocarbons, phenols and the like, and are particularly suitable for the fine treatment of heavy pollution sites such as coking plants, chemical plants and the like. Background With the acceleration of global industrialization progress, the problem of soil pollution of the left-over industrial site is increasingly serious, and the soil pollution becomes a key factor for restricting the sustainable development of cities and threatening the health of human bodies. Wherein, the soil of the sites such as coking plants, petrochemical plants, gas plants and the like is rich in toxic and harmful substances such as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene series (BTEX), phenols, cyanide and the like. The organic pollutants have the characteristics of strong hydrophobicity, high octanol-water distribution coefficient (Kow), easiness in being adsorbed in soil organic matters and micropores, difficulty in biodegradation and the like, and are called as refractory pollutants. Conventional soil remediation techniques have significant limitations in facing such complex contaminations: 1. The thermal desorption method has high removal efficiency, but has huge energy consumption (generally needs to be heated to 300-500 ℃), high operation cost, and high temperature can damage the soil aggregate structure and microbial community, so that the ecological function of the soil is lost, and the restored soil can be utilized only by re-improvement. 2. And (3) leaching the soil by injecting a chemical agent solution. However, most conventional leaches are macroscopic fluids and are difficult to access soil micropores (< 50 microns), resulting in insufficient contact of the agent with the contaminants and limited removal rates. In addition, the use of large amounts of chemical agents may change the pH of the soil, cause secondary pollution, and make the waste liquid treatment difficult. 3. The bioremediation method utilizes microorganisms to degrade pollutants, has low cost and environmental friendliness, but has extremely long reaction period (often needs years), and high-concentration toxic pollutants can inhibit the activity of microorganisms, so that the requirement of urgent site redevelopment is difficult to meet. 4. The common aeration method is to introduce air or oxygen into the soil, but the formed bubbles have large particle size (millimeter level), the rising speed is high, the specific surface area is small, the gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency is low, the carrying capacity of the medicament is poor, and the strongly adsorbed organic pollutants are difficult to effectively emulsify and strip. In recent years, the micro-nano bubble technology has been used in the field of environmental control for its unique physicochemical properties (such as large specific surface area, long residence time, high negative potential on the surface, free radical generation, etc.). The micro-foam repair technology uses micro-bubbles as a carrier, carries a surfactant (such as biosurfactant rhamnolipid) into soil micropores, and removes pollutants through solubilization, emulsification, desorption and other actions. However, the existing micro-foam generating devices and processes still have the following key bottlenecks: 1. the bubbles have uneven particle size distribution, and it is difficult to achieve both miniaturization and uniformity of bubbles by a single foaming device. The generated bubbles are often mixed in size, and large bubbles quickly escape, so that the utilization rate of the medicament is reduced, and the soil structure is possibly damaged (air channeling). 2. The system pipeline is remained and blocked, and biosurfactants such as rhamnolipid and the like have certain viscosity and colloid characteristics and are easy to adhere to the inner wall of the pipeline, the valve and the surface of a precise foaming element (such as microporous ceramic). The existing system lacks an efficient and automatic online cleaning mechanism, is easy to cause micropore blockage, flow reduction and even cross-pollutes repair sites of different batches after long-term operation. 3. The operation mode is stiff, the efficiency is low, and the traditional system mostly adopts a continuous constant current injection mode and cannot adapt to resistance change caused by soil heterogeneity. Part of the intermittent system adopts a mode of 'pump stop-wait-pump start', and during the period of pump stop, the whole system is in a static state, so that equipment is idle and time is wasted (the intermittent waiting time is 15-2
