Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of amine liquid purification, in particular to a system for purifying amine liquid. Background Art
[0002] Amine liquid is a general term for a class of organic alkaline solutions, usually referring to weakly alkaline organic amine solvents used to absorb hydrogen sulfide or carbon dioxide in the desulfurization and decarbonization chemical process, with alcohol amines being the most common. The active amine liquid absorption method is a deacidification method based on a reversible chemical reaction and using an alkaline solvent as an absorbent. The solvent reacts with the acid gas components in the raw gas to generate compounds; the rich liquid that absorbs the acid gas can decompose and release the acid gas under the conditions of increasing temperature and reducing pressure, thereby realizing the regeneration of the solvent.
[0003] During the use of amine liquid, some impurities such as hydrocarbons, degradation products, suspended solids and thermally stable salts will accumulate. The presence of these impurities will cause the amine liquid to foam, which will increase the heat required for amine liquid regeneration and consume amine liquid, causing blockage of equipment and pipelines, accelerating equipment pipeline corrosion, and seriously affecting the normal operation of the entire device. In order to solve the problem of amine liquid foaming, the amine liquid system needs to be purified in real time.
[0004] At present, the purification of amine liquid in the organic amine desulfurization system of various smelting enterprises mainly removes impurity ions in the amine liquid through the resin exchange system and the freezing crystallization system. During the operation of the resin exchange system, there are problems such as high amine liquid loss, low ion removal efficiency, and large amount of resin purification alkali solution; the freezing crystallization system can only remove thermally stable salts in the amine liquid. Both purification systems cannot meet the requirements of amine liquid purification. In addition, the existing amine liquid purification system has high operating costs, and the amine liquid purification efficiency does not meet production needs. The enrichment rate of impurity ions in the amine liquid is higher than the processing efficiency of the amine liquid purification system, and the amine liquid indicators are gradually deteriorating.

[0025] Example
[0026] The following is further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. Figure 1 -Attached Figure 2 As shown, the system for purifying amine liquid in this embodiment includes an amine liquid supply system, a desalted water supply system, an extreme water supply system, an electrodialyzer 50, and a cleaning system 40; the amine liquid supply system, the desalted water supply system, the extreme water supply system, and the cleaning system 40 are all connected to the inlet and outlet of the electrodialyzer 50 at the same time. Specifically, when in use, the amine liquid, desalted water, and extreme water to be purified are respectively fed into the electrodialyzer 50 through the amine liquid supply system, the desalted water supply system, and the extreme water supply system. Under the selective permeability of the ion exchange membrane of the electrodialyzer 50, the anions and cations in the solution migrate in a directional manner, thereby achieving the effect of separating ions from the solution, and the cleaning system 40 can regularly clean the electrodialyzer 50, so that it always maintains a high separation efficiency. And compared with the traditional amine liquid purification method, this system does not need to use a regeneration agent, uses less desalted water, has a higher ion removal rate, and can also be used to remove SO4 in the amine liquid. 2- 、F - , CL - 、S2O3 2-And the heat-stable salts of sodium sulfate, calcium sulfate, nitrate, and thiosulfate in the amine solution, improve the amine solution index, ensure the normal operation of the amine solution desulfurization system, and have lower costs, less amine solution loss, and can also achieve continuous processing of pressing. It should be noted that there are amine solution passages, desalted water passages, and polar water passages in the electrodialyzer, and the cleaning device needs to be connected to the above three passages at the same time and clean them at the same time.
[0027] The cleaning system 40 in this embodiment includes a first liquid conduit 43 connected to the inlet end of the electrodialyzer 50, a second liquid conduit 44 connected to the outlet end of the electrodialyzer 50, a liquid storage tank 41, a partition 42 disposed in the liquid storage tank 41, and an air supply device; the partition 42 divides the liquid storage tank 41 into a first chamber 45 and a second chamber 46, the air supply device is connected to the first chamber 45 and the second chamber 46 at the same time, the first liquid conduit 43 is connected to the first chamber 45, and the second liquid conduit 44 is connected to the second chamber 46. Specifically, as shown in the attached Figure 2 As shown, before cleaning, it is necessary to first shut down the amine solution supply system, the desalted water supply system, and the polar water supply system to supply liquid to the electrodialyzer 50, and then the electrodialyzer 50 can be reciprocatedly cleaned in the forward and reverse directions by the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 41. Specifically, it can be achieved by intermittently supplying air to the first chamber 45 and the second chamber 46 respectively through the air supply device. When only the first chamber 45 is supplied with air, the cleaning liquid in the first chamber 45 can be sent to the inlet end of the electrodialyzer 50 through the first liquid guide tube 43. Forward cleaning is achieved; when only air is supplied to the second chamber 46, the cleaning liquid in the second chamber 46 can be sent to the outlet end of the electrodialyzer 50 through the second liquid conduit 44 to achieve backwashing; in this way, by quickly and repeatedly switching the air supply, not only forward cleaning and reverse cleaning can be achieved, and the membrane in the electrodialyzer 50 can be better cleaned, but also high-frequency reciprocating impact can be formed in the electrodialyzer 50, that is, the cleaning liquid can generate a certain frequency of vibration in the electrodialyzer 50, so as to better perform the cleaning operation.
[0028] In this embodiment, both the first chamber 45 and the second chamber 46 are provided with an exhaust pipe 411. Specifically, the exhaust pipe 411 is mainly used to balance the air pressure, so an automatic valve needs to be provided on the exhaust pipe 411.
[0029] The gas supply device in this embodiment includes an air compressor, an air pressure pipe 47 connected to the air compressor, a three-way valve 48 connected to the air pressure pipe 47, and a first conduit 49 and a second conduit 410 connected to the three-way valve 48; the first conduit 49 is connected to the first chamber 45, and the second conduit 410 is connected to the second chamber 46. Specifically, the three-way valve 48 enables the gas to enter the first conduit 49 (i.e., enter the first chamber 45) or the second conduit 410 (i.e., enter the second chamber 46).
[0030] The three-way valve 48 in this embodiment is an automatic three-way valve 48. Specifically, the three-way valve 48 can be quickly switched by an electromagnetic or pneumatic three-way valve 48.
[0031] The cleaning system 40 in this embodiment further includes a pipette 412 for connecting the first chamber 45 and the second chamber 46 , and a pipette pump 413 disposed on the pipette 412 . Specifically, the pipette pump 413 and the pipette 412 can realize that during the reciprocating motion of the cleaning liquid in the electrodialyzer 50 at the microscopic level, the cleaning liquid is still moving in one direction at the macroscopic level. The liquid in the first chamber 45 is slowly transferred to the second chamber 46 (or vice versa) by the pipette pump 413 and the pipette 412, so that the amount of liquid in the first chamber 45 slowly decreases and the liquid in the second chamber 46 gradually increases. Then, the air in the first chamber 45 gradually increases and the air in the second chamber 46 gradually decreases. At this time, when the same amount of air is pumped into the first chamber 45 and the second chamber 46, due to the compressibility of air, the liquid discharged from the first chamber 45 is less than the liquid discharged from the second chamber 46, which means that the cleaning liquid moves different distances to both sides in one reciprocating motion cycle. In this way, the cleaning liquid moves to one side at the macroscopic level. The purpose of this is to facilitate the real-time replacement of the cleaning liquid.
[0032] The amine liquid supply system in this embodiment includes an amine liquid tank 11, an amine liquid pump 12, and an amine liquid filter 13 connected to the electrodialyzer 50. The desalted water supply system includes a desalted water tank 21, a desalted water pump 22, a desalted water filter 23, and a desalted water heat exchanger 24 connected to the electrodialyzer 50. The polar water supply system includes a polar water tank 31, a polar water pump 32, a polar water filter 33, and a polar water heat exchanger 34 connected to the electrodialyzer 50. Specifically, these devices are mainly used to pre-treat amine liquid, desalted water, and polar water.
[0033] In summary, the system for purifying amine liquid in this embodiment, when in use, delivers the amine liquid, desalted water and polar water to be purified to the electrodialyzer 50 through the amine liquid supply system, the desalted water supply system and the polar water supply system. Under the selective permeability of the ion exchange membrane of the electrodialyzer 50, the anions and cations in the solution migrate in a directional manner, thereby achieving the effect of separating ions from the solution, and the electrodialyzer 50 can be cleaned regularly through the cleaning system 40, so that it always maintains a high separation efficiency. Compared with the traditional amine liquid purification method, this system does not require the use of regeneration agents, uses less desalted water, has a higher ion removal rate, and can also be used to remove SO4 in the amine liquid. 2- 、F - , CL - 、S2O3 2-And the heat-stable salts in the amine liquid, such as sodium sulfate, calcium sulfate, nitrate, and thiosulfate, can improve the amine liquid indicators and ensure the normal operation of the amine liquid desulfurization system. It has lower costs, less amine liquid loss, and can also achieve continuous pressing processing.
