Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semi-coke wastewater treatment, and particularly relates to an extraction device for extracting and removing phenol from semi-coke wastewater. Background Art

[0002] Lignite is a carbonaceous material made by dry distilling clean coal at medium to low temperatures. It has high fixed carbon content, high specific resistivity, high chemical activity, low ash content, low aluminum content, low sulfur content, and low phosphorus content. It is widely used in the production of products such as calcium carbide, ferroalloys, ferrosilicon, and silicon carbide. The production of lignite requires cooling and washing processes, which generate lignite wastewater. Due to direct contact with the coal, lignite wastewater contains a complex composition, particularly high levels of coal tar and phenols, making it a resource-based wastewater and difficult to treat. Currently, the extraction of phenols from lignite wastewater is a major avenue for resource recycling. However, even if degreasing can remove most of the coal tar and other oily substances in lignite wastewater, residual oil can still contaminate the tower plates or packing, making the operation and maintenance of traditional extraction towers difficult and affecting the extraction of phenols.

[0028] A stirring shaft 8 is provided at the center of the rotating packing layer 2, which is driven to rotate by the motor at the bottom of the extraction tower 1; the movable packing layer 3 includes a central pillar 9 and a support guide rail 10 spirally wrapped around the outside of the central pillar 9, and several packing cages 11 are connected to each other to form a chain, and move from bottom to top along the support guide rail 10. A hollow interlayer 12 is provided on the side wall of the extraction tower 1 corresponding to the movable packing layer 3, and several rotating wheels 13 are provided in the interlayer 12, which are used to introduce the packing cage 11 at the top of the movable packing layer 3 into the interlayer 12, move it downward, and then pass through the bottom of the interlayer 12 and move up along the support guide rail 10 again; a spray device is provided on the top of the interlayer 12 to clean the packing cage 11 moved into the interlayer 12.

[0029] Optionally, the rotating packing layer 2 includes a stirring shaft 8 and a packing portion 14, the packing portion 14 is in a strip shape and spirally wound from top to bottom along the outer side of the stirring shaft 8, the bottom of the stirring shaft 8 passes through the bottom of the extraction tower 1, and is connected to the motor outside the bottom of the extraction tower 1, for driving the stirring shaft 8 and the packing portion 14 to rotate;

[0030] The inner side of the packing part 14 is fixed on the stirring shaft 8 , and the outer layer extends toward the inner wall of the extraction tower 1 with a gap between the packing part 14 and the inner wall of the extraction tower 1 .

[0031] Further optionally, the filler portion 14 is in the form of a mesh cage with filler filled inside. A plurality of partition walls are provided in the filler portion 14 and the partition walls are evenly distributed along the length direction of the filler portion 14 to divide the filler portion 14 into a plurality of sections, each of which is filled with filler.

[0032] Alternatively, the upper, lower, and outer surfaces of the packing section 14 may be arranged in a pattern of alternating corrugated and flat strips, with the flat strips positioned between the peaks and valleys of the corrugated strips. The inventors unexpectedly discovered that this unique surface configuration not only stabilizes the filler particles within each packing section 14 but also increases the contact area between the packing section 14 and the material flowing within the extraction column 1, thereby improving the extraction effect.

[0033] Optionally, the extractant inlet 6 is provided below the lowest packing layer of the rotating packing layer 2 , and the kettle liquid outlet 7 is provided below the extractant inlet 6 .

[0034] Optionally, the movable packing layer 3, the rotating packing layer 2 and the extraction tower 1 are arranged concentrically, that is, the central pillar 9, the stirring shaft 8 and the axis of the extraction tower 1 are on the same vertical line; the top of the central pillar 9 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the extraction tower 1;

[0035] The support rail 10 includes an inner support bar 17 and an outer support bar 18 spirally wound around the outer side of the central pillar 9. The inner support bar 17 is close to the outer side of the central pillar 9. A plurality of rolling cross bars 19 are connected between the inner support bar 17 and the outer support bar 18. The rolling cross bars 19 are arranged horizontally to support the stuffing cage 11.

[0036] A cleaning inlet 20 is provided on the inner wall of the extraction tower 1 at a position corresponding to the top port of the support guide rail 10, and a cleaning outlet 21 is provided on the inner wall of the extraction tower 1 at a position corresponding to the bottom port of the support guide rail 10. The cleaning inlet 20 and the cleaning outlet 21 are on the same vertical line, and the interlayer 12 is connected to the support guide rail 10 through the cleaning inlet 20 and the cleaning outlet 21.

[0037] Further optionally, the outer support bar 18 is arranged on the inner wall of the extraction tower 1, and the two ends of the rolling cross bar 19 are respectively rotatably connected to the inner support bar 17 and the outer support bar 18. When the stuffing cage 11 moves on the support guide rail 10, it can drive the rolling cross bar 19 to rotate, thereby reducing friction resistance, and the rotation of the rolling cross bar 19 does not require electric drive, thereby saving energy consumption.

[0038] Further optionally, a first rotating wheel 13 is provided in the interlayer 12 at a position corresponding to the cleaning inlet 20, and the first rotating wheel 13 is at the same height as the cleaning inlet 20; a second rotating wheel 13 is provided in the interlayer 12 at a position corresponding to the cleaning outlet 21, and the second rotating wheel 13 is at the same height as the cleaning outlet 21;

[0039] A plurality of third rotating wheels 13 are provided between the first rotating wheel 13 and the second rotating wheel 13. The rotating shafts of all the rotating wheels 13 pass through the side wall of the interlayer 12 and are respectively connected to corresponding rotating motors outside the extraction tower 1.

[0040] A plurality of protruding teeth are evenly arranged on the outer side surfaces of all the rotating wheels 13 along the circumference of the rotating wheels 13 . The protruding teeth are used to be inserted into the stuffing cage 11 and drive the stuffing cage 11 to move.

[0041] Further optionally, the spraying device inside the interlayer 12 is provided above the first rotating wheel 13 , and is used for spraying the extractant onto the stuffing cage 11 moved into the interlayer 12 , so as to clean the stuffing cage 11 .

[0042] Optionally, the wastewater inlet 5 is located above the moving packing layer 3 .

[0043] Each surface of the stuffing cage 11 of the present invention is flat, and the connection between adjacent stuffing cages 11 is a flexible connection, so that when the rotating wheel 13 pulls the stuffing cage 11 to move, the chain-like stuffing cage 11 combination can spiral and rise along the spiral support rail 10. The width of the stuffing cage 11 only needs to be slightly smaller than the length of the rolling cross bar 19. The semi-coke wastewater enters from the wastewater inlet 5 and preferentially falls on the stuffing cage 11 of the movable stuffing layer 3. Therefore, the stuffing cage 11 takes on more oil substances in the wastewater and is more susceptible to contamination, which affects the extraction effect. The stuffing cage 11 of the present invention can rise continuously along the support rail 10, and the rotating wheel 13 in the interlayer 12 is introduced into the interlayer 12 and cleaned. The cleaned stuffing cage 11 is removed from the cleaning outlet 21, and the top port and the bottom port of the support rail 10 are in the same vertical line. The stuffing cage 11 returns to the bottom port of the support rail 10 again, and the cycle repeats. The cleaned extractant in the interlayer 12 flows out from the cleaning outlet 21 and flows down along the inner wall of the extraction tower 1, and basically does not contaminate the rotating packing layer 2 below. Alternatively, an outlet is provided on the outer wall of the interlayer 12 to lead the cleaned extractant out of the extraction tower 1.

[0044] Optionally, a tower tray 22 is further provided on the outer side of the central pillar 9. The tower tray 22 is located below the support rail 10 and spirally surrounds the central pillar 9, that is, a tower tray 22 is provided between the upper and lower adjacent support rails 10.

[0045] The upper surface of the tray 22 is smooth and evenly distributed with large through holes 23 and small through holes 24. The aperture of the large through holes 23 is larger than that of the small through holes 24. The large through holes 23 are used to allow wastewater on the tray 22 to flow down to the next layer of packing cages 11, and the small through holes 24 are used to allow rising airflow to pass through.

[0046] An overflow weir 16 is provided on the outer side of the column tray 22 , and there is a gap between the column tray 22 and the inner wall of the extraction column 1 .

[0047] The present invention utilizes a packing cage 11 and tray 22 at the top of the extraction tower 1 to enhance extraction efficiency. The vast majority of wastewater flowing from the packing cage 11 flows onto the tray 22 below, while a portion flows through the large through-holes 23 to the next layer of packing cages 11. Small through-holes 24, with their high air velocity, allow the rising airflow to pass through and contact the wastewater on the tray 22, promoting extraction. Because the tray 22 has a smooth, spiraling surface, the wastewater forms a liquid film along its upper surface, effectively improving extraction efficiency on the tray 22.

[0048] Optionally, a tail gas outlet 15 is provided at the top of the extraction tower 1 . The tail gas outlet 15 is located above the extract outlet 4 and is used to discharge waste gas inside the extraction tower 1 .
