Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coking, in particular to a regeneration tower. Background Art
[0002] HPF desulfurization is an oxidative desulfurization and decyanation process using ammonia as an alkaline source and HPF as a catalyst. Desulfurization using an HPF catalyst is a liquid-phase oxidation reaction. Compared to other catalysts, it catalyzes both the absorption and regeneration processes. Therefore, HPF offers significant advantages, including high activity and excellent fluidity. Precooled coal gas enters the desulfurization tower, where it countercurrently contacts the desulfurization lean liquid sprayed from the tower's top to absorb hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide from the gas. The desulfurization rich liquid is pumped into the regeneration tower using a desulfurization liquid pump. Compressed air is introduced from the bottom of the regeneration tower, causing the desulfurization rich liquid to undergo oxidation and regeneration within the tower. The desulfurization rich liquid, having absorbed hydrogen sulfide, reacts to produce elemental sulfur. The regenerated desulfurization lean liquid then flows from the top of the tower through a level regulator and back into the desulfurization tower for recycling.
[0003] However, most existing regeneration towers adopt a method in which the desulfurized lean liquid flows to the desulfurization tower by gravity. The regeneration tower is higher than the desulfurization tower, and the desulfurized liquid carries air. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The transverse connecting plate (26) and the longitudinal connecting plate (27) are fixedly connected in the cylindrical body (21), and the longitudinal plate (28) and the transverse plate (29) are fixedly connected in the conical section (23). The cylindrical body (21), the transverse connecting plate (26) and the longitudinal connecting plate (27) constitute a primary foam separator, and the conical section (23), the longitudinal plate (28) and the transverse plate (29) constitute a secondary foam separator.

Air is introduced into the desulfurized rich liquid at the gas-liquid mixer through a spray pipe, where it undergoes a primary reaction. After exiting the mixer, it further reacts with the desulfurized liquid at the desulfurization liquid inlet. Here, the desulfurized liquid flows upward and is drawn into the mixer inlet for further reaction. The upward-flowing desulfurized liquid and air experience a reduced cross-section at the sieve plate assembly, accelerating the flow rate and further accelerating the reaction to form a desulfurized lean liquid.

[0032] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a regeneration tower comprises a skirt (1), a vent (2), a gas-liquid mixer (3), a tower body (4), an air inlet (5), a manhole (6), a sieve plate device (7), a desulfurization liquid outlet (8), a sulfur foam discharge device (9), an observation hole (10), a gas discharge outlet (11), a head (12) and a desulfurization liquid inlet (13).
[0033] The tower body (4) is arranged vertically, and the end caps (12) are fixedly connected to both ends of the tower body (4), and the bottom end cap (12) is fixedly connected to the skirt seat (1). Five manholes (6) are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls of the upper, middle and lower tower bodies (4), the observation hole (10) is fixedly connected to the top end cap (12), and the vent (2) is fixedly connected to the bottom end cap (12).
[0034] The desulfurization liquid inlet (13) extends into the skirt (1) and then into the bottom end head (12). The desulfurization liquid inlet (13) is opened inside the bottom end head (12), and the desulfurization liquid is evenly sprayed onto the head (12), where it continues to mix with air for regeneration.
[0035] The gas-liquid mixer (3), the air inlet (5), the sieve plate device (7), the desulfurized liquid outlet (8), and the sulfur foam discharge device (9) are sequentially installed in the tower body (4) from bottom to top.
[0036] The gas-liquid mixer (3) is in the form of a venturi tube, comprising a contraction section (41), a throat section (42), an expansion section (43) and a connecting plate (44). The contraction section (41), the throat section (42), the expansion section (43) and the connecting plate (44) are sequentially connected from top to bottom, and the connecting plate (44) is fixedly connected to the bottom end cover (12).
[0037] The air inlet (5) is located above the gas-liquid mixer (3) and includes an annular pipe (31), an injection pipe (32), a connecting pipe (33) and a flange (34). The annular pipe (31) is annular in shape, and the injection pipe (32) is evenly distributed and fixed to the bottom of the annular pipe (31). The annular pipe (31) is connected to the connecting pipe (33), and the connecting pipe (33) is connected to the flange (34). The flange (34) is fixed to the side wall of the lower part of the tower body (4).
[0038] The injection pipe (32) is tapered, with a narrowed bottom opening. The injection pipe (32) is located inside the contraction section (41) and injects the desulfurization liquid to complete the oxidation reaction.
[0039] The sieve plate device (7) is located above the air inlet (5) and includes a sieve plate (61) and a support beam (62). The sieve plate 61 is a flat plate with a hole, which is divided into blocks according to the tower diameter and is installed on the support beam (62) through a manhole (6). The support beam (62) is fixed to the inner wall of the tower body (4).
[0040] The desulfurized liquid outlet (8) is located above the sieve plate device (7) and includes a cylindrical body (21), a support plate (22), a cone section (23), a connecting pipe (24), an elbow (25), a transverse connecting plate (26), a longitudinal connecting plate (27), a longitudinal plate (28), and a transverse plate (29). The cylindrical body (21) is fixed to the inner wall of the tower body (4) through the support plate (22). The cylindrical body (21), the cone section (23), the connecting pipe (24), and the elbow (25) are connected in sequence from top to bottom.
[0041] The transverse connecting plate (26) and the longitudinal connecting plate (27) are fixedly connected to the cylindrical body (21), and the longitudinal plate (28) and the transverse plate (29) are fixedly connected to the conical section (23). The cylindrical body (21), the transverse connecting plate (26), and the longitudinal connecting plate (27) constitute a primary foam separator, and the conical section (23), the longitudinal plate (28), and the transverse plate (29) constitute a secondary foam separator. Gas and liquid continue to separate here, reducing the air content in the desulfurized liquid.
[0042] The sulfur foam discharge device (9) is located above the desulfurization liquid outlet (8) and includes a cleaning pipe (51), a circular cylinder (52), a foam outlet (53) and an annular plate (54).

[0044] The desulfurized rich liquid from the desulfurization tower is uniformly sprayed onto the head (12) inside the equipment through the desulfurized liquid inlet (13) and flows upward. The air is ejected into the desulfurized rich liquid at the gas-liquid mixer (3) through the injection pipe (32), and a primary reaction is achieved in the gas-liquid mixer (3). After exiting the mixer, it further reacts with the desulfurized liquid at the desulfurized liquid inlet (13). Here, the desulfurized liquid flows upward and is sucked into the mixer again to react at the mixer inlet. The upward-flowing desulfurized liquid and air have a reduced flow cross-section at the sieve plate device (7), which speeds up the flow rate and further accelerates the reaction to form desulfurized lean liquid. The desulfurized lean liquid flows upward to the first-level foam separator at the desulfurized liquid outlet (8) to complete gas-liquid separation; in the second-level foam separator, the gas and liquid continue to separate, reducing the air content in the desulfurized liquid. The desulfurized lean liquid is sent to the desulfurization tower to complete the absorption reaction. The sulfur foam containing elemental sulfur and air flows upward. At the sulfur foam discharge device (9), the sulfur foam and part of the desulfurization liquid enter the annular space and enter the sulfur foam tank through the sulfur foam discharge port (53). The sulfur foam discharge is observed through the top observation hole (10) and the annular space is cleaned.
[0045] The desulfurized lean liquid of the present invention is discharged from the middle of the regeneration tower, the tower height is reduced, and the air content in the desulfurized liquid is reduced.
