Abstract

The invention discloses a low energy consumption water-air separation device and method. The device comprises a compressor, a pre-cooling system and at least one hydration tower, one decomposition tower, one vacuum pump and one heating pump; the compressor and the pre-cooling system are connected through a pipeline, the pre-cooling system is communicated with the air inlet of a first hydration tower, the liquid inlet of the first hydration tower is connected to a first vacuum pump, the hydrate liquid outlet of the first hydration tower is connected to the feed port of the first decomposition tower, the residual liquid outlet of the first decomposition tower is connected to the liquid inlet of the first hydration tower, the first hydration tower and the first decomposition tower are connected through a first heating pump, the upper portion of the first hydration tower is provided with a gas release recovery port, and the upper portion of the first decomposition tower is provided with an oxygen-enriched air release and recovery port. The air is separated according to the principle that hydration of oxygen and water is performed more easily as compared with that of nitrogen and water, the hydration pressure is lowered by adding hydration accelerator, the pressure difference for oxygen generating hydrate is larger than that for nitrogen, and the energy consumption can be reduced by more than 30%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of air separation, in particular to a hydration air separation device and method capable of operating at low pressure and low energy consumption. Background technique [0002] Air is a mixed gas mainly composed of oxygen and nitrogen. In nature, a large amount of air exists in the air in a free state. The air with an oxygen concentration greater than 20.95 mol% is called oxygen-enriched air, and the air with a nitrogen concentration greater than 79.05 mol% is called nitrogen-enriched air. [0003] Nitrogen is mainly used for ammonia synthesis, protective atmosphere for metal heat treatment, inert protective gas in chemical production (pipeline purge when starting and stopping, nitrogen seal for easily oxidized substances, pressing materials), grain storage, fruit preservation and electronic industry, etc. Oxygen is mainly used as an oxidant in metallurgy, gas-supporting, medical treatment, wastewater treatment and ch...
