DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] like Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a novel carrier gas circulation dehumidification and drying process system of the present invention. The novel carrier gas circulation dehumidification and drying process system of the present invention comprises a filter 1, a blower 2, a carrier gas heater 3, a feed screw conveyor 4, a dryer 5, a discharge valve 6, a cyclone dust collector 7, a cyclone rotary valve 8, a bag dust collector 9, a bag rotary valve 10, an induced draft fan 11, a membrane dehumidifier 12, an adsorption dehumidifier 13, a regeneration fan 14 and a regeneration heater 15.

[0022] The filter 1 is connected to the blower 2, and the blower 2 is connected to the gas inlet of the carrier gas heater 3. The carrier gas (such as external air) is filtered by the filter 1 and pressurized by the blower 2 before being input into the carrier gas heater 3. The carrier gas heater 3 is a steam type heater or an electric type heater, and the steam type heater is provided with a steam inlet and a steam condensate outlet.

[0023] The carrier gas heater 3 is connected to the dryer 5. The dryer 5 is connected to the feed screw conveyor 4, and the wet material is transported to the dryer 5 through the feed screw conveyor 4. The discharge port of the dryer 5 is provided with a discharge valve 6. The dryer 5 is a fluidized bed dryer, a drum dryer, a flash dryer, an air flow tube dryer or a paddle dryer. After being heated by the carrier gas heater 3, the carrier gas enters the dryer 5 and is mixed and dried with the wet material transported by the feed screw conveyor 4, and the dried material is discharged from the discharge valve 6.

[0024] The top of the dryer 5 is connected to a cyclone dust collector 7, and the cyclone dust collector 7 is connected to a bag dust collector 9. A cyclone rotary valve 8 is provided at the bottom of the cyclone dust collector 7. A bag dust collector rotary valve 10 is provided at the bottom of the bag dust collector 9. The wet exhaust gas discharged from the dryer 5 is removed by the cyclone dust collector 7 and the bag dust collector 9 in sequence.

[0025] The bag filter 9 is connected to the induced draft fan 11, and the induced draft fan 11 is connected to the membrane dehumidifier 12. The membrane dehumidifier 12 is connected to the adsorption dehumidifier 13. The membrane dehumidifier 12 is a ceramic membrane module or a hollow fiber membrane module. The adsorption dehumidifier 13 is filled with a water absorbent, which is a zeolite or a porous aluminum phosphate material. The exhaust gas after dust removal is pressurized by the induced draft fan 11 and passes through the membrane dehumidifier 12 and the adsorption dehumidifier 13 for dehumidification.

[0026] The gas outlet of the adsorption dehumidifier 13 is also connected to the gas inlet of the carrier gas heater 3. The dehumidified tail gas returns to the carrier gas heater 3 and is circulated and used as the carrier gas.

[0027] The adsorption dehumidifier 13 is connected to the regeneration heater 15 and the regeneration fan 14 in sequence. Two adsorption dehumidifiers 13 are operated in parallel, one for use and one for regeneration standby. The regeneration process uses the regeneration fan 14 to increase pressure and the regeneration heater 15 to heat the regeneration gas to regenerate the water absorbent.

[0028] The regeneration heater 15 is a steam type heater or an electric type heater. The steam type heater is provided with a steam inlet and a steam condensate outlet.

[0029] The carrier gas (such as outside air) is pressurized by the filter 1 and the blower 2, and then heated by the carrier gas heater 3 before entering the dryer 5 for mixed drying. The dried material is discharged from the discharge valve 6; the wet exhaust gas discharged from the dryer 5 is successively dedusted by the cyclone dust collector 7 and the bag dust collector 9, and the exhaust gas after dedusting is pressurized by the induced draft fan 11. Most of the circulating gas is dehumidified by the membrane dehumidifier 12 and the adsorption dehumidifier 13 in turn, and then returns to the inlet of the blower 2, and the excess exhaust gas is directly discharged from the outlet of the induced draft fan 11; the adsorption dehumidifier 13 is operated in parallel with two units, one in use and the other in regeneration standby. The regeneration process uses the regeneration fan 14 to pressurize and the regeneration heater 15 to heat the regeneration gas to regenerate the water absorbent.

[0030] The novel carrier gas circulation dehumidification and drying process system of the present invention removes the humidity in the circulating carrier gas by combining a membrane dehumidifier and an adsorption dehumidifier. The dehumidification process does not require cooling and the energy utilization rate of the circulating carrier gas is increased to more than 85%, while the exhaust gas emission is reduced to less than 15%, which is more energy-saving, low-carbon and environmentally friendly. The present invention can be widely used in the field of carrier gas circulation drying.

The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of ​​the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope.
