Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical equipment, in particular to a tail gas treatment device in phthalic anhydride production. Background Art
[0002] At present, the process of preparing phthalic anhydride by the naphthalene method mainly involves fully and evenly mixing industrial naphthalene with air in a certain proportion and then sending it into a reactor to undergo an oxidation reaction to obtain phthalic anhydride and byproducts naphthoquinone and maleic anhydride, and then entering a gas cooler in the form of gas for heat exchange, and finally condensing through a switching condenser to obtain solid crude phthalic anhydride, which is then distilled to obtain qualified phthalic anhydride products. The tail gas treatment method is that the tail gas from the switching condenser is first incinerated in a thermal storage incinerator, and then enters a tail gas scrubber for spray washing, and is discharged into the atmosphere after washing. However, due to the characteristics of large air volume and high tail gas concentration in the production of phthalic anhydride, the incinerator contains a large amount of unconverted raw materials and organic substances such as carbon monoxide during the incineration process. The spray nozzles in the scrubber are arranged in five horizontal rows, with 7 nozzles in the middle three rows and 3 nozzles in each of the two rows on both sides, for a total of 27 nozzles. However, the spraying effect of this arrangement is poor, and the tail gas after washing still contains some benzene and hydrocarbon organic substances, which will seriously affect environmental safety when released into the air. Summary of the invention

[0006] Preferably, the gas cooler is a two-stage cooler, in which saturated 6.0 MPa high-pressure steam is generated in the first stage, and in the second stage, water is heated for the boiler that generates the steam.
[0007] Preferably, there are five switching coolers. The switching coolers are loaded and unloaded in a set periodic sequence, so that phthalic anhydride is separated from the reaction product gas to obtain solid crude phthalic anhydride, and the crude phthalic anhydride is further distilled to obtain qualified phthalic anhydride products; the tail gas from the switching cooler is first incinerated in a heat storage incinerator, and then enters the tail gas washing tower for spray washing.

The spiral nozzles can realize vortex spraying, have a large spraying area, and a uniform flow rate, and will not produce a diversion phenomenon, thereby ensuring the stability and uniformity of the spraying, and can also adjust the rotation direction and the rotation speed; therefore, it can replace the 27 nozzles originally used, saving the amount of nozzles, and through a reasonable design, it realizes spraying without dead angles, so that the organic matter and impurities in the exhaust gas are completely dissolved and washed; a small amount of organic matter and impurities that have not been washed rise with the flue gas into the electrostatic tower, and after being electrostatically adsorbed, they flow vertically down along the adsorption plate, and drip from the bottom of the plate into the washing tower, and the treated flue gas is discharged into the air from the exhaust duct at the top of the electrostatic tower.
