Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of waste gas treatment, and in particular to a waste gas treatment and recovery device for lithium battery production. Background Art

[0002] NMP is an excellent advanced solvent, widely used in petrochemical, clothing medicine, medicine, electronic materials, lithium battery manufacturing and other fields. The waste gas containing NMP generated in the production process needs to be recovered or treated. N-methylpyrrolidone has many advantages such as high flash point and good safety. In the manufacturing process of lithium-ion batteries, polymer materials need to be dissolved in organic solvents and then coated on the surface of electrode materials. NMP is widely used as an organic solvent in the lithium battery manufacturing industry. The polymer material is dissolved in NMP and coated on the surface of the electrode material, and then dried. During the drying process, NMP will all turn into gas and be discharged in large quantities through the fan. If the discharged waste gas containing a large amount of NMP is not recycled, it will not only cause a huge waste of resources, but also cause environmental pollution.

[0003] Chinese patent (CN216725851U) discloses an energy-saving circulation device for recycling and distilling NMP for lithium battery production, including a recycling circulation box, a control panel is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the recycling circulation box, and a supporting base is fixedly installed on the bottom of the recycling circulation box. A condensation recovery mechanism is set up to introduce high-concentration NMP waste gas into the recycling circulation box. At this time, condensate is added to the condenser tube, and the condensate of the condenser tube is pumped into the cooler for cooling, and the cooled condensate is pumped into the condenser tube, so that the condensate in the condenser tube is always kept in a condensed state. The gas will be cooled when passing through the condenser tube, and will float on the arc tube to condense into water droplets, and will drip into the storage tube through the guide tube for storage.

[0004] However, there are some drawbacks in the above-mentioned related technologies. For example, some NMP recovery devices for lithium battery production only use condensation components for condensation recovery, resulting in insufficient NMP recovery efficiency; even if some recovery devices use a combination of a condenser and a zeolite adsorption concentration wheel for recovery, the large temperature difference between the fluid transportation and the reaction between different devices causes energy loss and is not energy-efficient.

[0048] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: NMP waste gas is first introduced into the condenser 1. In the condenser 1, the waste gas is cooled by a multi-stage cooler, and most of the NMP will be condensed into liquid. By lowering the temperature and increasing the pressure, the NMP is changed from a gaseous state to a liquid state, and a first-level NMP waste liquid and a first-level NMP gas are obtained and enter the gas-liquid separation box 2. The gas-liquid separation net 21 separates the first-level NMP waste liquid and the first-level NMP gas. The first-level NMP waste liquid enters the liquid collecting tank 3. The first-level NMP gas enters the heat exchange box 5 from the air inlet pipe 53, and enters the air inlet area of ​​the zeolite adsorption concentration rotor 4 from the air outlet pipe 54. The NMP therein is effectively adsorbed by the zeolite molecular sieve, and the purified gas is directly discharged into the atmosphere.

The air pump 42 draws the high-calorie secondary NMP gas from the gas collecting pipe 41, the heat exchange coil 51 and the drainage pipe 52 into the dissolving liquid at the bottom of the dissolving tower 6. The dissolving liquid dissolves the secondary NMP gas to obtain secondary NMP waste liquid. The liquid outlet pipe 63 cooperates with the first water pump 64 to draw the secondary NMP waste liquid into the liquid collecting tank 3. The second water pump 72 cooperates with the water inlet pipe 71 to draw the dissolving liquid in the water storage tank 7 into the annular pipe 61. After spraying by multiple nozzles 62, the secondary NMP gas in the dissolving tower 6 is dissolved. At the same time, the primary NMP gas and the secondary NMP gas in the heat exchange box 5 are heat exchanged through the heat exchange coil 51, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the primary NMP gas in the zeolite adsorption concentration wheel 4, improving the dissolution efficiency of the secondary NMP gas in the dissolving tower 6, and reducing energy consumption.
