Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of distillation devices, in particular to a high-efficiency distillation tower. Background Art
[0002] In chemical production, distillation is a commonly used process. Distillation is a separation process that uses the different volatilities of the components in a mixture to separate the components. Distillation is usually carried out in a distillation tower, where the gas and liquid phases are in countercurrent contact to carry out interphase heat and mass transfer. The volatile components in the liquid phase enter the gas phase, and the less volatile components in the gas phase are transferred to the liquid phase. As a result, almost pure volatile components can be obtained at the top of the tower, and almost pure less volatile components can be obtained at the bottom of the tower, thereby achieving the purpose of component separation.
[0003] However, in the actual use of the distillation tower, when the liquid phase falls from the top, part of the liquid phase will flow down along the tower wall. This process will not only cause the solid impurities in the liquid phase to adhere to the tower wall, but also cause the packing layer and other components of the distillation tower to be blocked after a long period of accumulation and then falling. At the same time, the liquid phase left along the tower wall cannot fully contact with the gas phase, reducing the efficiency of distillation. And when the gas phase enters through the air inlet pipe, it cannot rise evenly in the distillation tower, affecting the efficiency of distillation.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient distillation tower to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
