[0023] As shown in Figure 1 and 2 The present application provides a chlorination furnace flue gas elution device and a chlorination furnace 17 comprising the chlorination furnace flue gas elution device. The chlorination furnace flue gas elution device comprises a feeding unit, the feeding unit is provided with a breathing pipe 11; a circulation unit for containing liquid phase titanium tetrachloride, the breathing pipe 11 is connected with the circulation unit and located above the liquid surface; an elution unit comprising an elution tower 5; and a recovery unit 9 connected with the circulation unit.
[0024] In the chlorination furnace flue gas elution device according to the embodiments of the present application, the circulation unit comprises a circulation tank 1, which can be a cube, a cuboid, a cylinder or any suitable three-dimensional shape that can be used as a container. The circulation tank 1 is provided with an isolation component 2, which is preferably a partition plate vertically arranged in the upper part of the circulation tank 1. The length of the partition plate is 1 / 3 to 2 / 3 of the height of the circulation tank 1. The partition plate divides the circulation tank 1 into a first chamber and a second chamber that are in communication at the bottom. The liquid phase titanium tetrachloride can be mixed and collected in the two chambers.
[0025] The circulation tank 1 is provided with a breathing pipe 11 located above the liquid surface of the titanium tetrachloride in the circulation tank 1. The first end of the breathing pipe 11 is connected with the circulation tank 1, and the second end is used to communicate with the elution tower 5. The communication of the breathing pipe 11 can prevent the internal pressure of the circulation tank 1 from being too high, thereby preventing the liquid phase titanium tetrachloride from entering the circulation tank 1.
[0026] The outer circumferential surface of the circulating tank 1 is provided with a liquid supply unit for supplementing the required circulating leaching liquid in the circulating tank 1, and the circulating leaching liquid flows in the leaching unit and the circulating tank 1. The liquid supply unit is a liquid supplement pipeline 13 in communication with the storage tank 10. The circulating tank 1 is provided with a liquid level meter 3 for monitoring the liquid level in the circulating tank 1, which is used to detect whether the liquid level is at a preset value and monitor the occurrence of abnormal state. The chlorination furnace 17 can also include a control system 14, which presets a liquid level interval required for the operation in the circulating tank 1, controls the operation of the flue gas leaching device, obtains the liquid level in the circulating tank 1, and when the liquid level in the circulating tank 1 is lower than the height interval, controls the appropriate amount of raw material to be poured through the liquid supplement pipeline 13 to cover the partition, and preferably the liquid level required for the reaction is 70%-80%.
[0027] The leaching unit includes a leaching tower 5, a leaching circulating pump 8 and a spraying pipeline 4. The top of the leaching tower 5 is provided with a gas outlet 12, and the bottom is in communication with the circulating tank 1 through a leaching pipeline. The spraying pipeline 4 is provided with a heat exchanger 6 and a leaching circulating pump 8.
[0028] The leaching circulating pump 8 is correspondingly arranged in the chamber of the circulating tank 1, for example, one leaching circulating pump 8 is arranged in each of the first chamber and the second chamber, respectively, to transport titanium tetrachloride in the corresponding chamber to the heat exchanger 6, and to spray the leaching tower 5 through the spraying pipeline 4. The spraying pipeline 4 is provided with a spray head, which disperses liquid-phase titanium tetrachloride through high pressure to fully contact with gas-phase titanium tetrachloride and complete heat exchange.
[0029] The heat exchanger 6 is used for cooling the circulating leaching liquid, and is preferably a spiral plate heat exchanger or a tube heat exchanger. The heat exchanger 6 reduces the heat of titanium tetrachloride in the circulating process through a refrigerant system. The refrigerant system is filled with a refrigerant, which is circulating water or frozen brine.
[0030] The leaching pipeline and the heat exchanger 6 are correspondingly arranged with the leaching tower 5, and the number is positively correlated to ensure that the leaching effect of each leaching tower 5 can reach the expected value.
[0031] In some embodiments, the leaching device can be arranged as multiple stages, and each stage can use the same or different refrigerant. The leaching device can be preferably arranged as a 4-stage leaching device, and the refrigerant used in the first 3 stages is circulating water, and the refrigerant used in the 4th stage is frozen brine. After multi-stage heat exchange, the flue gas temperature can be reduced to below-5℃.
[0032] To prevent contamination of the chlorination furnace 17 by the liquid or gas generated during the reaction, the circulation tank 1, the scrubbing tower 5, and the breather pipe 11 are made of stainless steel or corrosion-resistant materials. The inner wall of the circulation tank 1 and the outer wall of the scrubbing tower 5 are coated with an anti-corrosion coating, which consists of metallic elements or oxide coatings. By setting an anti-corrosion smooth coating, the corrosion resistance of the chlorination furnace 17 can be increased, making it less prone to damage, reducing maintenance frequency, and extending the service life of the chlorination furnace 17.
[0033] A conveying pipeline is provided around the outer periphery of the circulation tank 1. The recovery unit 9 is connected to the circulation tank 1 through the conveying pipeline. A transfer pump 7 is installed on the conveying pipeline. The control system 14 can preset the liquid level range required for operation in the circulation tank 1. When the liquid level exceeds this range, the liquid titanium tetrachloride is conveyed to the recovery unit 9 by the transfer pump 7. When the liquid level falls below this range, the transfer stops. Preferably, the liquid level range that meets the reaction requirements is 70%-80%. The recovery rate of titanium tetrachloride through this rinsing device can reach over 99%.
[0034] One specific application of the present invention is, for example, Figure 2 As shown, the liquid level is replenished to 70% through the replenishment pipeline 13 until it covers the baffle. The rinsing circulation pump 8 is started to spray the rinsing tower 5. Then the heat exchanger 6 is started to cool the circulating rinsing liquid. The flue gas generated by the reaction of the main furnace 15 and the auxiliary furnace 16 is introduced into the rinsing tower 5 for rinsing. When the collected titanium tetrachloride liquid level reaches 80%, the liquid phase titanium tetrachloride is transported to the recovery unit 9 through the transfer pump 7. The transfer is stopped when the liquid level is lower than 70%.
[0035] The present invention also provides a chlorination furnace 17, such as Figure 2 As shown, the chlorination furnace 17 includes the flue gas scrubbing device described in this invention. The chlorination furnace 17 provided by this invention, by setting up a bottom-connected circulation tank 1 and a scrubbing unit, effectively reduces the flue gas temperature to below -5°C and increases the recovery rate of titanium tetrachloride to over 99%, achieving economic efficiency, environmental friendliness, and high efficiency.
[0036] This invention incorporates a circulation tank 1 within a circulation unit. The two chambers of circulation tank 1 are connected at their bottoms, allowing liquid titanium tetrachloride to mix and collect within the circulation tank 1. A spray unit sprays the flue gas, and once the flue gas temperature drops below zero, it settles back into circulation tank 1 due to gravity. The cooled titanium tetrachloride is then transported to a recovery unit 9 by a transfer pump 7, where it is recycled and reused. This device significantly reduces the flue gas temperature, effectively improves the recovery rate of titanium tetrachloride, lowers production costs, and provides higher-quality crude titanium tetrachloride for subsequent refining systems.
