TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to environmental protection equipment technical field more specifically, relate to a kind of acid flue gas treatment tower with precooling function. BACKGROUND
[0002] The flue gas discharged by nonferrous smelting industrial enterprises during production contains sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen chloride (HCl) and other acidic gases, which are one of the main sources of acid rain and air pollution and must be treated to meet the emission standards. Currently, wet desulfurization / acidity removal technology is one of the most widely used and most efficient methods. Its basic principle is to use alkaline absorbing liquid (such as limestone slurry, sodium hydroxide solution, etc.) to contact with acidic flue gas countercurrently in an absorption tower to generate a neutralization reaction and form corresponding salts, thereby removing the acidic components in the flue gas. However, the flue gas discharged from the process equipment is usually at a high temperature (up to 150-200°C or higher), and when the high-temperature flue gas enters the absorption tower, the sprayed absorbing liquid will quickly evaporate, causing the liquid droplets to become small or even vaporize, which shortens the gas-liquid contact time, reduces the solubility and reaction rate of the acidic gases, and thus affects the removal efficiency. The high-temperature flue gas directly impacts the plastic or glass steel components in the tower, such as the spray layer and demister, which can easily cause material aging, deformation, or even damage, shorten the service life of the equipment, and increase maintenance costs. Therefore, it is necessary to research and improve the structure of the acid flue gas treatment tower with precooling function. SUMMARY
[0003] To solve the problems in the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide an acid flue gas treatment tower with precooling function, which can solve the problems of reduced absorption efficiency, increased consumption of absorbing agent, and thermal damage to the components in the tower, such as the spray layer and demister, caused by high-temperature flue gas entering the absorption tower. By setting an integrated precooling zone inside the tower body, the high-temperature acidic flue gas is pre-cooled, thereby improving the acidic gas removal efficiency, reducing the operating cost, and prolonging the service life of the equipment.

[0008] Further, the gas-liquid inlet and the spray head are oppositely connected, and are provided with multiple groups and are distributed in the upper and lower parts of the mounting disc.
[0009] Further, a liquid collecting groove is arranged at the bottom of the pre-cooling area below the containing cavity, the liquid collecting groove is connected to an external circulating pump through a connecting pipe, and the circulating pump is connected to the external alkaline absorption liquid supply system.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model lie in that:
[0013] (1) the scheme, by setting the pre-cooling area and the disc pipe pre-cooler in the tower body, realizes the in-situ pre-cooling of the high-temperature acidic flue gas in the tower. The flue gas is effectively cooled before entering the core reaction area (the gas-liquid contact area), significantly reduces the evaporation rate of the absorption liquid, prolongs the gas-liquid contact time, improves the solubility and reaction rate of the acidic gas in the absorption liquid, and greatly improves the removal efficiency. At the same time, due to the reduction of evaporation loss, the required liquid-gas ratio is reduced, the consumption of alkaline absorbent is reduced, and the operation cost is reduced.
[0014] (2) the scheme, by setting the pre-cooling area to pre-cool the flue gas, the flue gas temperature entering the gas-liquid contact area and the demisting area is in the appropriate range, avoiding the direct thermal shock of high-temperature flue gas on the plastic or glass steel material parts such as the spray head, the baffle plate type demister and the like, effectively preventing material aging, deformation and damage, significantly prolonging the service life of the key parts in the tower, and reducing the maintenance and replacement frequency.
[0015] (3) By setting the mounting disc, the particles in the flue gas form an effective barrier, while the gas-liquid inlet and the nozzle are distributed in a ring shape, the absorption liquid is uniformly sprayed in the gas-liquid contact area, and the flue gas needs to pass through the gas-liquid nozzle when rising, the liquid fully covers the flue gas, ensuring that the atomized droplets and the flue gas are fully mixed, and the reaction efficiency is improved.

[0026] The baffle type demister is installed in the inside of the demisting area 3, and is used for capturing fine liquid droplets entrained in the flue gas, so as to ensure that the humidity of the discharged flue gas meets the standard.
[0027] The installation disc 9 is located at the connection between the demisting area 3 and the gas-liquid contact area 2, is a hollow structure, the inside hollow layer is a space for liquid flow, the upper part is connected with each gas-liquid inlet 10, and the lower part is connected with each spray head 11, one side of the installation disc 9 is fixedly provided with a connecting port, the connecting port is connected with the hollow layer and is connected with the liquid inlet pipe 6 through a pipeline, so that the liquid can enter the hollow layer, the liquid inlet pipe 6 is connected with an external alkaline absorption liquid supply system, the gas-liquid inlet 10 and the spray head 11 are provided with multiple groups and are distributed in the upper and lower parts of the installation disc 9 in a surrounding manner, the flue gas after cooling enters this area, is countercurrently contacted with the alkaline absorption liquid sprayed from the spray head 11, passes through the liquid film in the spraying area, and neutralization reaction occurs, so that the acidic gas is fully removed. The slurry after reaction falls into the bottom of the tower.
[0028] The supporting leg 8 is fixedly arranged below the pre-cooling area 1, the smoke inlet pipe 12 is arranged at the middle position below the pre-cooling area 1 and is connected with the containing cavity 14, the supporting leg 8 is used for supporting the whole tower body.
