Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for the continuous disinfection of water, including drinking, bathing and industrial water, comprising a filtration step, a short-term disinfection step and a long-term disinfection step with the addition of noble metal ions.
- the invention further relates to a device suitable for such a method.
- the water can be disinfected.
- the most frequently used disinfectant by far is chlorine (chlorine bleach, chlorine gas, chlorine gas).
- Chlorine bleach, chlorine gas, chlorine gas Disadvantages of these methods are the health impairments when the amount is too high or due to the formation of trihalometanes. Procurement can also be a problem in third countries.
- UV radiation is also used for disinfection.
- the advantage of this process is that no substances are dosed into the water.
- This method does not have a infection, as is the case with the addition of chlorine. Problems occur in piping systems or in storage tanks if the hygienic conditions are not optimal.
- Another method is the addition of silver or. Copper ions for disinfecting water (oligodynamic effect), which also has a depot effect.
- JP 9187773 A combination of UV treatment and silver ion addition is described in JP 9187773.
- an apparatus with a filter with a device that generates silver ions and with a UV sterilization device, with the silver ion generating device lying in the flow direction in front of the UV sterilization device, is used to purify water.
- the water is circulated, i.e. H. the apparatus is only used to process water with a lower degree of contamination (such as storage tanks and aquariums).
- a circulatory system for cleaning a pond ie killing algae
- the water is removed from the pond, treated with ultraviolet radiation in a device provided outside the pond, subsequently mixed with silver or copper ions in order to suppress the formation of algae, and returned to the pond.
- the quality of the pond water is monitored using a conductivity or turbidity meter. Effective cleaning of heavily soiled water Water, especially those with a high turbidity content, is not possible with the method described here.
- JP 60178490 describes a method for water purification.
- the water is electrochemically added to copper, which serves as a flocculant.
- the water was not adequately disinfected.
- the object of the present invention was to develop a method and an apparatus which do not have the disadvantages of the above-mentioned prior art.
- the treatment of the water should, if possible, be without any Fuel, chemicals are made so that it is a possible maintenance-free process.
- a system for such a process should be developed that is also suitable for use in developing countries.
- a new process suitable for continuous disinfection has now been developed, which is a combination of flocculation, filtration (including flocculation), UV disinfection and disinfection with silver and or copper ions.
- a suitable device for this method has also been developed. The present invention thus relates
- step (c) long-term disinfection of the water obtained in step (b) by adding noble metal ions;
- a device for the continuous disinfection and preservation of water comprising a filter device for filtering the initial water, a short-term disinfection device downstream of the filter device for short-term disinfection of the filtered water, a long-term disinfection device downstream of the short-term disinfection device, a conveyor Direction for conveying the water through the filter device, the short and long-term disinfection device and a network-independent energy supply device.
- An essential aspect of the device (2) is that the energy supply device for supplying the short-term and / or long-term disinfection device and / or the conveyor device, which can be a pump, for example, can be network-independent.
- Such an energy supply device such as a solar module and / or a wind power plant are suitable for generating energy independently of a power grid. It is thus possible to use the device according to the invention in particular in developing countries. This is possible in particular because of the simple and low-maintenance construction of the device.
- a control device is preferably provided.
- the individual elements of the device according to the invention if they have to be supplied with energy, are supplied with energy as a function of the water flow rate.
- This aspect which is essential in this particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, ensures that, for example, sufficient energy is available for the short-term and / or long-term disinfection device to enable the desired disinfection or treatment of the water. It should be taken into account here that the energy supply can fluctuate greatly due to the grid independence of the energy supply device.
- the pumping device for pumping the water is a pump
- the flow rate also fluctuates due to the fluctuation in the energy supply.
- a pump is provided as a delivery device, the speed of the pump can be recorded directly and the water flow rate can be determined on the basis of the pump speed.
- the pump can be an electrically operated pump, but also one act due to wind powered pump. It is also possible to determine the water flow rate using a flow sensor.
- the filter device in which impurities are filtered out of the water is preceded by a flocculant addition device, which may also have a flocculation reactor.
- the addition of flocculants such as mineral salts causes the particles contained in the water to flocculate so that they can be filtered out more easily and more effectively in the filter device.
- the provision according to the invention of metal electrodes connected to the energy supply device as flocculant addition devices is particularly preferred. These are preferably copper electrodes arranged in the water flow. When current is applied to the copper electrodes, copper ions are generated by electrolytically dissolving the copper electrode, which serve as flocculants.
- Such a flocculant addition device has the advantage that the amount of flocculant, i.e. H. the amount of ions released can be controlled in a simple manner, since the ion release is directly dependent on the current strength. It is thus possible to supply a current intensity determined as a function of the flow rate to the electrodes.
- Metal electrodes preferably silver electrodes, are also preferably provided as the long-term definition device and are likewise arranged within the water. Long-term disinfection is therefore carried out by adding silver ions or other suitable metal ions.
- the electrodes can be regulated in a simple manner depending on the water flow rate, so that an overdosing or underdosing of silver ions is avoided.
- the amount of copper ions added as a flocculant and the amount of silver ions added for long-term disinfection can thus be easily determined depending on the Flow rate can be controlled.
- the flow rate depends essentially on the delivery rate of the pump, which, for. B. can be selected with an intended network connection, or depends on the sun and / or wind intensity.
- the control device is preferably additionally connected to a turbidity measuring device such as, for example, a UV or light transmission measuring device.
- a turbidity measuring device such as, for example, a UV or light transmission measuring device.
- the degree of turbidity of the initial water can be determined by the turbidity measuring device.
- the control device then regulates the amount of flocculant added.
- the energy supply to the metal electrodes in the flocculation addition device is preferably regulated on the basis of the degree of contamination and the water flow rate.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a preferred embodiment of a combined short and long-term disinfection device.
- the starting water is first filtered and, after the filtration, a short-term disinfection step, for. B. carried out by a UV disinfection system to achieve immediate disinfection.
- the filtration step can be supported by adding a flocculant.
- a flocculant is copper ions such as e.g. B. copper hydroxide, which are generated in a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention by an electrophysical process (ie electrolytic dissolution of soluble copper electrodes).
- they can also be added to the water by adding an aqueous copper or silver salt solution.
- the advantage of the electrophysical process is that the balance of the water is not changed (salinity, pH value). In addition, no or only a small amount of chemicals have to be procured.
- Other suitable flocculants are iron and aluminum salts, e.g. B. iron III chloride, aluminum sulfate and polyaluminium chloride.
- the amount of flocculant added is - depending on the degree of contamination - 0.3 to 3.0, preferably 0.5 to 0.7 mg / 1 of water to be processed.
- a preferred short-term disinfection method is UV treatment, with preference
- the UV treatment is carried out by irradiation with a wavelength of 250 to 280 nm, preferably at a wavelength of 254 nm and / or the water has an irradiation dose of at least 250 J / m 2 , preferably at least 350 J / m 2 and particularly preferably of at least 400 J / m 2 is subjected.
- the water of a long-term disinfection is treated with heavy metals, e.g. B. copper and / or silver ions exposed.
- heavy metals e.g. B. copper and / or silver ions exposed.
- the silver and copper dose can be reduced to a minimum, since the dosage of the silver and copper ions only serves to preserve the water.
- a copper and / or a silver ion concentration in the treated water of less than 100 ⁇ g / l or less than 10 is preferred ug / l.
- the legal EU regulations for the maximum copper and silver content in water are not met.
- step (c) the copper / silver ion metering in step (c) is carried out together with the UV radiation in step (b) in one reactor.
- the method (1) according to the invention enables "continuous process control", i. that is, it is not necessary for the water to be treated to be recycled. Depending on the nature of the water, different or differently designed process steps are used, in which the degree of contamination or degree of contamination is taken into account. With the method according to the invention one is thus able to treat and disinfect both surface, well, industrial and swimming pool water and for a longer period of time, i. H. for 24-48 h to preserve steps (a) - (c) in a single reaction cycle.
- the device (2) according to the invention therefore preferably has a flocculant supply device 10, a filter device 12, a short-term disinfection device 14 in the form of a UV radiation device and a long-term disinfection device 16.
- Water to be treated is pumped by a pump 18 through a pipeline 20 in the direction of an arrow 22.
- a pump 18 To drive the electric pump 18, it is electrically connected to a solar module 24 having one or more solar cells via a line 26.
- the volume delivered by the pump 18 depends on the amount of energy generated by the solar module 26. It should be noted here that other elements of the device according to the invention Require energy so that the pump for pumping water has a reduced amount of energy available.
- the energy generated by the solar modules 24 must be sufficient for all devices of the device according to the invention that require an energy supply.
- a control device 28 and / or 49 can be used to ensure that the energy available first ensures, for example, the energy supply to the flocculant addition device 10, the short-term metering device 14 and the long-term metering device 16.
- the flocculant addition device 10, the short-term metering device 14 and the long-term metering device 16 preferably have their own energy supply devices, e.g. B. own solar cells. These are designed and / or switched in such a way that sufficient energy is available at these devices when the pump starts.
- the flocculant addition device is copper ions, which also have to be supplied with current.
- the current supplied to the copper electrodes depends on the flow rate of water.
- the flow rate is recorded by the control 28. This can be done, for example, by a flow meter 30 which measures the flow rate of water to be treated in the pipeline 20. Alternatively, the flow rate can also be taken from the pump 18 with the aid of a speed sensor 32.
- the control device 28 determines the current intensity, which is supplied to the copper electrodes of the flocculant addition device 10 via a line 35.
- the turbidity of the water to be treated transported by the pump 18 in the direction of the flocculant adding device 10 can be determined.
- a turbidity measuring device 34 is provided, which determines the turbidity of the water, for example with the aid of a light and / or UV transmission measurement.
- the current intensity supplied to the flocculant addition device 10 via the line 35 can be increased or reduced.
- the turbidity of the water can also be determined by a conductivity test.
- the turbidity measuring device 34 can thus be a light and / or UV transmission measurement and / or a conductivity measurement.
- the water provided with flocculant is then transported to the filter device 12 via a pipeline 36.
- Several fine-meshed sieves and / or a filter with fillings such as sand fillings or the like are arranged in this, for example. These can be arranged in stages, for example, so that the sieves become ever finer in the direction of flow.
- a UV radiation device is provided as a short-term disinfection device 14.
- This is an irradiation device which has a UV lamp or another UV radiation source. Irradiation of the water with UV radiation, which is preferably higher than 250 J / m 2 , in particular higher than 350 J / m 2 , results in a reduction in the number of germs in the water. With an energy supply of 400 J / m 2 , a germ reduction of over 99%, in particular over 99.99%, can be achieved.
- a water quality measurement of the water can optionally be carried out after the filter device 12. This can be done, for example, with a turbidity measuring device corresponding to the turbidity measuring device 34.
- a UV transmission measuring device 40 is provided.
- the provision of the UV transmission measuring device 40 has the advantage that it is ensured that no badly filtered water enters the short-term disinfection device 14 arrives, because the efficiency of the germ reduction in the short-term disinfection device 14 would be impaired due to a turbidity of the water.
- the UV transmission measuring device 40 can be connected to a warning signal transmitter, by means of which a warning is given that adequate filtering is no longer guaranteed. This can be the case, for example, due to the wear of the copper electrodes or contamination of the filter.
- a target value is preferably specified on the UV transmission measuring device. As soon as this falls below, a warning signal is triggered.
- the short-term disinfection device 14 is connected directly to the solar module 24 via lines 42, 44. This ensures that the short-term disinfection device 14 is always supplied with a predetermined amount of energy, so that uniform UV radiation is always guaranteed. It must be taken into account here that an overdose of UV radiation does not damage the water.
- the short-term disinfection device 14 is connected to the long-term disinfection device 16 via a pipe 46.
- Long-term disinfection of the water takes place in the long-term disinfection device 16 with the aid of silver ions.
- 16 silver electrodes are provided in the long-term disinfection device, which are connected to the solar module 24 via the energy line 48. By applying current to the silver electrodes, the silver is ionized. Since an overdosing of silver can be harmful to the human organism, the long-term dosing device 16 is connected to the control device 49 via a line 48.
- the silver ions released are thus regulated as a function of the flow rate of the water.
- the disinfected water discharged via the pipeline 50 can be fed directly to a consumer or a tank for storage over longer periods of time.
- the combined short-term and long-term metering device shown in FIG. 2 is a container or reactor 52, to which filtered water is supplied via an inlet opening 54, which can be connected, for example, to the pipe 38 (FIG. 1).
- the water is conveyed upwards in FIG. 2 and discharged again through an outlet opening 56, which can be connected to the pipe 50 (FIG. 1).
- a UV lamp 58 is arranged within the container 52 and is connected to the solar module 24 or other energy sources via energy connections 60.
- the UV lamp 48 is used for short-term disinfection of the water.
- the transmission measuring device 40 is connected to the container 52. After the water has been irradiated with UV light, silver ions are released into the water with the aid of silver electrodes 61.
- the silver electrodes 61 are connected via line 48 to the solar module 24 and via line 48 to a control device 49 for flow-dependent control.
