The invention relates to the field of
nitric acid production, and discloses an AR-grade
nitric acid rectification device and a preparation method, the device comprises a liquid inlet pipeline, a
heat exchanger, a large rectification kettle, a small rectification kettle, a first packed
tower, a second packed
tower, a primary cooling
system, a third packed
tower, a secondary cooling
system and a liquid outlet pipeline from top to bottom, the steam of the large rectifying still supplies energy to the small rectifying still, and the steam of the small rectifying still preheats raw materials to realize graded utilization of
waste heat; the liquid inlet pipeline is provided with a
buffer tank for stable feeding, the packed towers cooperate with
reflux to strengthen
impurity removal, and air is introduced into the third packed tower to remove
nitrogen oxide; the secondary cooling
system adopts an inclined tube type
heat exchanger with a pressure stabilizing pipeline, so that bubble retention is avoided. The device is low in
energy consumption, stable in feeding, capable of effectively controlling the
impurity content of
nitric acid, capable of meeting the AR-grade standard and guaranteeing production continuity and suitable for preparing high-purity nitric acid.
