Definitions
- the invention generally relates to the treatment and purification of water.
- the invention relates to a water treatment assembly, of the type comprising:
- a source generating a stream to be purified, said stream to be purified comprising predominantly water, said stream to be purified also comprising at least one compound to be separated from the water;
- a solar evaporation plant of said stream to be purified adapted to evaporate the water of said stream to be purified and to condense the evaporated water into a stream of purified water, the installation comprising at least one receiving basin of the stream to be purified; purify having an upward opening and a translucent roof covering the opening;
- WO 98/33744 describes an assembly of this simple type, but allowing for the purification or desalinization of water at low cost. This set is powered by solar energy.
- the invention aims to provide a water treatment assembly of greater capacity.
- the invention relates to a water treatment assembly of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the assembly comprises a heating device of the transfer duct, and a mechanical ventilation device provided to ensure a circulation of air inside the solar evaporation plant.
- the mechanical ventilation device is a device intended to ensure forced air circulation in the atmosphere of the solar evaporation plant. It is of any suitable type: fan placed outside the installation preferably, or fan placed in the evaporation plant, blower, etc.
- the heating device of the transfer conduit makes it possible to supply the evaporation plant with a stream to be purified at a temperature above room temperature, which contributes to increasing the efficiency of the solar evaporation. Indeed, the higher the flow to be purified arriving in the evaporation plant is at high temperature, the higher the flow of steam resulting from the solar heating of this flow is high. The average temperature of the stream to be purified in the pond at equilibrium is higher, so that the vapor pressure in the atmosphere above the basin is also higher.
- the ventilation device makes it possible to limit stratification in temperature and to improve the transport coefficients (matter and heat) for evaporation and condensation of water. Indeed, in the absence of mixing, the air above the basin tends to stratify, a relatively lower temperature air layer created in contact with the flow to evaporate, and layers of air to higher temperatures are created near the translucent roof. Since the temperature difference between air and liquid is lower at the liquid-gas interface, evaporation is reduced.
- the stirring allows a faster renewal of the gas in contact with the liquid and improves convection and thus evaporation.
- the joint use of the heating device and the ventilation device makes it possible to achieve a large treatment capacity with a greenhouse evaporation plant.
- the installation does not operate as an evaporator in which the flow to be purified is brought to boiling temperature.
- the flow to be purified in the pool is far from its boiling point, so that the amount of energy needed to heat the water in the pool is reduced.
- Evaporation results from the liquid vapor equilibrium at the surface of the pond.
- the atmosphere above the basin is maintained with a partial pressure of water vapor depending in particular on the temperature in the solar evaporation plant. Part of the water vapor is condensed continuously, which causes the evaporation of a portion of the stream to be purified in the receiving basin.
- the whole of the invention is therefore technically much simpler than an evaporator in which the stream to be evaporated is boiled because such an evaporator operates under pressure and requires a large amount of energy, in concentrated form.
- the invention thus makes it possible to dispense with costly devices intended to bring to boiling the stream to be purified, or aimed at increasing heat transfer to the stream to be purified, optically and / or by conduction of solar energy to the atmosphere. stream to be purified.
- the use of the ventilation device alone also has a moderate effect on the evaporation capacity.
- the heating device and the ventilation device makes it possible to achieve a much better yield, with a purified water flow increased up to 100 times.
- the source generating the stream to be purified is, for example, a seawater pumping station.
- the stream to be purified is in this case seawater, and the compound to be separated from the water is sodium chloride.
- the facility also allows for the separation of other elements of the seawater that make this water unsuitable, for example, mineral impurities such as sediments or sand and organic impurities such as algae.
- the source is a uranium mine.
- the flow to be purified corresponds to the water pumped into the bottom of the mine, in order to mine the galleries of the mine.
- This water contains various compounds, for example traces of uranium, and other metals such as vanadium, molybdenum, or traces of sulfur.
- the alternative source is a uranium ore processing facility. Such installations generate large flows to purify, containing traces of uranium and other metals.
- the flow rate of the stream to be purified is very important, for example greater than 75 m 3 per hour, that is to say several hundred thousand m 3 per year. For example, about 650,000 m3 of effluent is discharged annually into the COMINAK mine spread basins in Niger.
- the solar evaporation plant is designed to be very simple, with a basin where flows the flow to be purified, directly covered by a translucent roof.
- the roof does not have optical devices for concentrating solar radiation.
- the roof is made of a plastic material or a glass for example. Sunlight passes through the roof and hits the surface of the pool directly.

- the heating is carried out inter alia by greenhouse effect, solar radiation after penetration into the solar system through the translucent roof remaining trapped, according to a well-known principle.
- the bottom of the pool is covered with a black membrane to absorb solar radiation. The energy of the absorbed solar radiation is then restored to the stream to be purified, radiatively or by conduction or by convection.

- the sections of the translucent roof are cold surfaces on which the evaporated water condenses preferentially and flows to the gutters.
- the ventilation device extracts a part of the atmosphere located above the basin, so as to maintain a flow of air in the installation, and more particularly to the surface of the liquid.
- the extracted atmosphere passes through a condenser, where the water vapor of the extracted atmosphere condenses.

- the stream to be purified is received in the pool at a high point.
- the bottom of the basin has a gentle slope, so that the flow to be purified gradually heats as it flows to the low point of the basin.

- the area of the basins is between 10,000 and 100,000 m 2 , preferably between 20,000 and 80,000 m 2 and still preferably between 30,000 and 60,000 m 2 .
- the ventilation device is arranged to ensure a recirculation rate inside the solar evaporation plant to obtain a ratio between a mass of evaporated water and a dry air mass in upper circulation at 0.012.
- the recirculation rate must adapt to the evaporation performance achieved in the evaporation plant.
- the sizing factor is the ratio between the mass of water evaporated in the solar evaporation plant and the circulating air mass. This ratio also depends on the weather conditions: relative humidity, pressure, temperature. This ratio must be greater than 0.012 kg evaporated water / kg dry air circulating.
- the ventilation device is intended to limit the stratification effects in temperature and to improve the transfer coefficients (material and heat) for the evaporation and condensation of water.
- This circulation of air allows a mixing of the atmosphere and accelerates the evaporation of water.

- the recirculation rate here corresponds to the ratio between the volume of air injected daily into the installation and the volume of air in the atmosphere of the installation, that is to say in the space between the surface of the liquid and the roof.
- the same volume of air is withdrawn concomitantly.
- the pressure inside the installation is kept constantly close to the atmospheric pressure, so as not to create stress on the translucent roof.
