Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical production wastewater treatment technology, and relates to the treatment technology of semi-coke wastewater, specifically a semi-coke wastewater coupling utilization system. Background Technology
[0002] Semi-coke wastewater, also known as semi-coke wastewater, refers to industrial wastewater generated during the low-rank coal (non-caking coal, weakly caking coal, long-flame coal) dry distillation process (approximately 450-650℃) and the coal gas purification and semi-coke steam quenching processes. Currently, semi-coke production mainly adopts an internal heating low-temperature dry distillation process, using Venturi towers and cyclone plate towers for water washing to remove tar from the coal gas. During the washing of coal tar, a large amount of high-concentration phenol-containing wastewater, i.e., semi-coke wastewater, is generated.
[0003] Existing semi-coke wastewater treatment processes require significant heat sources to heat equipment. For example, using heat transfer oil or lava as heating media to heat solvent recovery towers and water towers necessitates an organic carrier (heat transfer oil or lava) furnace to heat the heat transfer oil or lava. However, the gaseous phase (ammonia) generated at the top of the ammonia removal tower during semi-coke wastewater treatment needs to be liquefied to form liquid ammonia during recovery. Currently, the heat released from ammonia to liquid ammonia is not utilized effectively and is directly cooled and released. This release process requires additional cooling equipment, resulting in high equipment costs and energy waste. Therefore, existing semi-coke wastewater treatment processes suffer from the technical problem of inefficient energy utilization and energy waste. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Further specifying, the ammonia treatment system includes a multi-stage condensation separation unit and an ammonia refining tower, and both the first and second transfer pumps are connected to the ammonia refining tower through the multi-stage condensation separation unit.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further explained and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this utility model does not include the embodiments described below.
[0025] See Figure 1This utility model proposes a semi-coke wastewater coupled utilization system, which includes a light oil separator 1, a heavy oil separator 2, an oil-water separation tank 3, a saturation tower 4, a No. 1 extraction tower 5, a deacidification tower 7, a solvent recovery tower 8, a deammoniation tower 9, a No. 2 extraction tower 10, a water tower 11, a phenol tower 12, and an ammonia treatment system. The oil-water separation tank 3, saturation tower 4, No. 1 extraction tower 5, deacidification tower 7, solvent recovery tower 8, deammoniation tower 9, No. 2 extraction tower 10, water tower 11, and phenol tower 12 are connected sequentially from front to back. The top of the oil-water separation tank 3 is connected to the light oil separator 1, and the bottom of the oil-water separation tank 3 is connected to the heavy oil separator 2. The top of the No. 1 extraction tower 5 is connected to the No. 1 extract tank 6, and the top of the No. 2 extraction tower 10 is connected to the No. 2 extract tank 26. The semi-coke wastewater first enters the oil separator 3, where it undergoes stratified sedimentation. The upper layer, consisting of light oil, is transported to the light oil separator 1, where it settles and is separated. The lower layer, consisting of heavy oil, is transported to the heavy oil separator 2, where it settles and is separated. A solvent recovery tower reboiler 13 is connected to the bottom of the solvent recovery tower 8, and a water tower reboiler 16 is connected to the bottom of the water tower 11. A wastewater layer is formed in the middle layer of the oil separator 3. The wastewater in the wastewater layer is transported to the saturation tower 4. After sufficient contact and mass transfer with the acidic gas containing hydrogen sulfide in the saturation tower 4, the wastewater is discharged and transported to the No. 1 extraction tower 5. The No. 1 extraction tower 5 is equipped with an extractant (methyl isobutyl ketone), which is also referred to as the solvent below. After the wastewater is fully contacted with the extractant in the No. 1 extraction tower 5, most of the oils and phenols enter the solvent. There is a density difference between the aqueous phase and the extract phase. The extract phase rises and enters the No. 1 extract tank 6. The aqueous phase is collected from the bottom of the No. 1 extraction tower 5 and enters the deacidification tower 7. After deacidification treatment in the deacidification tower 7, acidic gas is formed and discharged from the top of the deacidification tower 7. The bottom liquid of the deacidification tower 7 is collected and enters the solvent recovery tower 8. The extractant (solvent) is recovered in the solvent recovery tower 8. A solvent recovery tower reboiler 13 is installed at the bottom of the solvent recovery tower 8. In the reboiler 13 of the recovery tower, the wastewater containing solvent exchanges heat with high-temperature ammonia gas, causing the temperature of the wastewater containing solvent to rise. The solvent and wastewater are separated and collected separately. After being collected, the wastewater enters the deammoniation tower 9, where it undergoes distillation. The high-temperature ammonia gas generated at the top of the deammoniation tower 9 enters the solvent recovery tower reboiler 13 and the water tower reboiler 16 as heat sources. The aqueous phase formed at the bottom of the deammoniation tower 9 enters the No. 2 extraction tower 10. After being fully contacted with the solvent (methyl isobutyl ketone) in the No. 2 extraction tower 10, the extract phase rises to the top of the No. 2 extraction tower 10 and enters the No. 2 extract tank 26 through the top of the No. 2 extraction tower 10. After being collected, the aqueous phase enters the water tower 11, where it undergoes condensation and separation. The condensed and separated gas phase is collected through the top of the water tower 11, and the liquid phase, as high-phenol-content wastewater, enters the phenol tower 12 for further processing.The reboiler 16 installed at the bottom of the water tower 11 is used to regulate the bottom temperature of the water tower 11 between 101℃ and 109℃.
[0026] The coke wastewater co-utilization system of this utility model also includes a first pre-separator 14, a first transfer pump 15, a second pre-separator 17, and a second transfer pump 18. The solvent recovery tower reboiler 13 is connected to the ammonia treatment system via the first pre-separator 14 and the first transfer pump 15 in sequence, and the water tower reboiler 16 is connected to the ammonia treatment system via the second pre-separator 17 and the second transfer pump 18 in sequence.
[0027] In this invention, the temperature of the high-temperature ammonia gas at the top of the ammonia removal tower 9 is 145℃ and the pressure is 0.5 MPa. The bottom temperature of the solvent recovery tower 8 and the bottom temperature of the water tower 11 are both 105℃, with a temperature difference of up to 30℃. The large temperature difference allows for heat exchange. Therefore, this invention uses the high-temperature ammonia gas as the heating medium for the reboiler 13 of the solvent recovery tower and the reboiler 16 of the water tower, replacing the existing heat transfer oil. This achieves the coupled utilization of the heat in the high-temperature ammonia gas discharged from the ammonia removal tower 9, reducing heat energy waste and equipment costs.
[0028] See Figure 2 The ammonia treatment system includes a multi-stage condensation and separation unit and an ammonia refining tower 25 connected sequentially from front to back. The multi-stage condensation and separation unit includes a multi-stage condenser and a multi-stage separator, which are connected at intervals. After the ammonia is cooled by the condenser, it forms a gas-liquid mixture. The gas-liquid mixture is then separated by the separator to extract the ammonia. The separation efficiency of ammonia is improved through multi-stage condensation and extraction.
[0029] Preferably, in this invention, the multi-stage condensation and separation unit includes a three-stage condenser and a three-stage separator, specifically a first-stage condenser 19, a first-stage separator 20, a second-stage condenser 21, a second-stage separator 22, a third-stage condenser 23, and a third-stage separator 24. The first-stage condenser 19, the first-stage separator 20, the second-stage condenser 21, the second-stage separator 22, the third-stage condenser 23, and the third-stage separator 24 are connected sequentially from front to back. The first-stage condenser 19 is connected to both the first transfer pump 15 and the second transfer pump 18, and is used to receive the gas-liquid mixture containing ammonia from the first transfer pump 15 and the second transfer pump 18. The third-stage separator 24 is connected to the ammonia refining tower 25, and the ammonia discharged from the third-stage separator 24 enters the ammonia refining tower 25 to prepare refined ammonia.
[0030] The working process of the ammonia treatment system in this invention will be explained and described in detail below using a three-stage condenser and a three-stage separator:
[0031] The gas-liquid mixture in the primary condenser 19 exchanges heat with the circulating cooling water. The cooled gas-liquid mixture discharged from the primary condenser 19 enters the primary separator 20, where primary crude ammonia is extracted and discharged. The primary crude ammonia then enters the secondary condenser 21, where it exchanges heat with the circulating cooling water. The cooled gas-liquid mixture discharged from the secondary condenser 21 enters the secondary separator 22, where secondary crude ammonia is extracted and discharged. The secondary crude ammonia then enters the tertiary condenser 23, where it exchanges heat with the circulating cooling water. The cooled gas-liquid mixture discharged from the tertiary condenser 23 enters the tertiary separator 24, where tertiary crude ammonia is extracted and discharged. The tertiary crude ammonia then enters the ammonia refining tower 25, where refined ammonia is prepared.
