[0002] After low-temperature dry distillation, low-rank coal decomposes into semi-coke, low-temperature coal tar and raw coal gas. Among them, the substances contained in low-temperature coal tar are generally small molecular substances (such as aliphatic hydrocarbons, diphenols, etc.), with a low content of aromatic hydrocarbons and a high content of alkanes. Its relative density is usually 1.0g / cm 3 In addition, low-temperature coal tar contains some alcohols and phenols that are easily soluble in water, which brings great difficulties to the separation of tar and ammonia water.

[0003] The tar and ammonia separation tank is one of the key equipment in the coal gas purification system supporting the coal distillation process. Its main function is to separate the tar and ammonia mixture, recover the tar product, and recycle the ammonia.

[0004] Existing tar-ammonia separation devices are usually vertical circular separation tanks or horizontal ship-shaped separation tanks. The main problems currently exist are: poor separation effect, long tar-ammonia residence time, large equipment footprint, high total investment, and the need for regular manual slag cleaning, which results in a harsh working environment and environmental pollution during the slag cleaning process.

[0013] The surface of the flow channel baffle is sprayed with a hydrophobic and oleophilic material coating.

[0014] The hydrophobic and oleophilic material coating is a polytetrafluoroethylene coating or a carbon fiber composite material coating.

[0015] The horizontal cross section of the trough body is a rectangle with arc transitions at both ends.

[0033] The bottom plate 5 of the groove body 1 is arranged to be inclined, and the end close to the tar ammonia water inlet is higher than the end close to the heavy tar outlet; the included angle between the bottom plate 5 and the horizontal plane is 1°-10°.

[0034] The included angle between the bottom plate 5 and the horizontal plane is 3°-5°.

[0035] The number of the flow channel baffles 4 is 20-40, and the spacing is 0.5-1.5 m.

[0036] The flow channel baffle 4 is composed of a baffle one and a baffle two arranged at intervals; the baffle one is 2 symmetrically arranged at the two sides in the width direction of the groove body 1, and the outer sides of the baffle one are respectively connected with the corresponding side walls of the groove body 1; the baffle two is 1 arranged at the middle in the width direction of the groove body 1, and the baffle two is connected with the inner wall of the groove body 1 through a support rod (not shown in the figure); the top of the baffle one and the baffle two and the bottom of the baffle one and the baffle two are respectively left with gaps between the top plate of the groove body 1 and the bottom plate 5 of the groove body 1, and the baffle one and the baffle two are arranged in an up-and-down staggered manner.

[0037] The surface of the flow channel baffle 4 is sprayed with a hydrophobic and oleophilic material coating.

[0038] The hydrophobic and oleophilic material coating is a polytetrafluoroethylene coating or a carbon fiber composite material coating.

[0039] The horizontal cross section of the groove body 1 is a rectangle with a circular arc transition at both ends.

[0040] The working method of the horizontal tar ammonia water separation device comprises the following processes:

[0041] 1) The electric slag discharge valve on the heavy tar outlet pipe 7 is closed; the tar-ammonia-water mixture continuously enters the tank body 1 through the tar-ammonia-water inlet pipe 2 and flows toward one end of the heavy tar outlet pipe 7 through the S-shaped flow channel formed by each flow channel baffle 4;

[0042] 2) When the tar-ammonia mixture flows through each flow channel baffle 4, the tar droplets continuously gather and grow under the action of the hydrophobic and oleophilic material coating on the surface of the flow channel baffle 4;

[0043] 3) The heavy tar settles downward and flows through the inclined bottom plate 5 to the heavy tar outlet pipe 7 and is discharged regularly through the electric slag discharge valve;

[0044] 4) Light tar floats upward, is collected by the light tar collecting funnel 3, and is discharged through the light tar outlet pipe 8;

[0045] 5) The ammonia water outlet pipe 6 is in a normally open state, and the ammonia water after the tar is separated is continuously discharged from the ammonia water outlet pipe 6.

[0046] In the horizontal tar-ammonia separation device of the present invention, multiple flow channel baffles (preferably 20 to 40, with a spacing of 0.5 to 1.5 m) are arranged along the length direction of the tank body 1, and the upper and lower ( Figure 1 shown) and before and after ( Figure 2 As shown in the figure, they are staggered, and there is space between the top of each flow channel baffle and the top plate of the tank body 1, and between the bottom and the bottom plate of the tank body 1, forming a serpentine flow channel.

[0047] By spraying a hydrophobic and oleophilic material coating (preferably a polytetrafluoroethylene coating or a carbon fiber composite material coating) on ​​the surface of the flow channel baffle, the contact angle between the tar and ammonia mixture and the hydrophobic and oleophilic material coating is greater than 150°, which increases the adhesion of the tar by 30% to 50%, effectively promoting the coalescence of small oil droplets.

[0048] The light tar collecting funnel is used to control the height of the collected oil level, keeping it between the high oil level H and the low oil level L (such as Figure 1 When stable production occurs, it is fixed above the oil-water phase interface.

[0049] The trough body adopts a rectangular trough body with arc transitions at both ends, preferably with a length of 15 to 25 meters, a width of 3 to 5 meters, and a height of 4 to 8 meters.

[0050] The bottom plate of the tank body is inclined from one end (high end) of the tar and ammonia inlet pipe to one end (low end) of the heavy tar outlet pipe, with an inclination angle of 1° to 10° (preferably 3° to 5°). The inclined bottom plate is conducive to the separated heavy tar and tar residue flowing toward the heavy tar outlet pipe for enrichment. When a certain liquid level is reached, the electric slag discharge valve can be activated to discharge the heavy tar and tar residue. There is no need to manually enter the tank to clean the slag, which is economical and environmentally friendly and reduces environmental pollution.
