Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical industry, in particular to a caustic soda recovery device. Background Art
[0002] During the production process of caustic soda flakes, four caustic soda flake machines produce caustic soda flakes at the same time, and the concentration of produced caustic soda flakes is ≥98%. When one of the caustic soda flake machines is shut down for maintenance, the alkali solution entering the caustic soda flake machine cannot be recovered, and the final concentrator needs to reduce the flow rate for maintenance. When the flow rate is reduced, due to the rapid drop in the flow rate, it is easy to cause uneven distribution of liquid in the falling film tube of the final concentrator, causing the film formation to deteriorate and forming a dry wall area. The temperature difference between the dry wall area and the non-dry wall area is large, causing stress, thereby causing the tube to bend and deform, which will affect the concentration efficiency, service life and safety performance of the final concentrator.
[0003] On the other hand, when the flake caustic soda system needs to be shut down for maintenance, the alkali with concentration ≥73% and concentration ≥98% in the ascending membrane concentrator, final concentrator, flake caustic soda machine and pipelines must be drained. After draining the alkali, the residual alkali in the ascending membrane concentrator, final concentrator, flake caustic soda machine and pipelines must be rinsed clean. The discharged waste alkali liquid is highly corrosive. If the waste alkali liquid is not recycled and treated, high-concentration waste alkali liquid enters the sewage biochemical treatment system, which will not only destroy the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, but also cause the death of microorganisms in severe cases, thereby affecting the normal operation of sewage treatment and the compliance of total wastewater discharge.
[0004] The existing solution to the problem of recycling waste alkali liquid is to use a movable open stainless steel round barrel with a stainless steel round cover on top of the barrel to keep the barrel dry and directly discharge the waste alkali liquid into the barrel. If the barrel contains water, the waste alkali liquid releases a large amount of heat when it encounters the water in the barrel, and the water vaporizes instantly. The water vapor carries the alkali and splashes out of the barrel. After the barrel temperature drops to room temperature, a forklift transports the barrel to the alkali liquid recovery pool. This method not only causes scalds to personnel, but also increases the risk of burns to personnel during transportation and recovery. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem of recycling liquid caustic soda entering the caustic soda flake machine during its maintenance process, avoid frequent lifting and lowering of the load to damage the final concentrator, and at the same time recycle the caustic soda in the entire system, thereby reducing production costs and environmental pollution, turning waste into treasure, protecting the environment, and improving the economic benefits of the enterprise.
[0006] The utility model adopts the following technical scheme to solve the technical problem: it comprises an alkali liquid recovery tank, an alkali liquid circulation pump, an alkali liquid shell and tube heat exchanger and a sodium carbonate circulation tank which are connected in sequence; a first inlet and a second inlet are arranged on the top of the alkali liquid recovery tank; one end of the first inlet is connected to a 73% alkali drain pipe, an overflow pipe of an alkali flake machine and an overflow pipe of a distributor; the other end of the first inlet enters the alkali liquid recovery tank and 3-5 inclined baffles are arranged inside the alkali liquid recovery tank which are staggered from top to bottom and from left to right; a steam coil is arranged at the bottom of the alkali liquid recovery tank; the bottom of the alkali liquid recovery tank is connected to the alkali liquid circulation pump through a pipeline; the outlet of the alkali liquid circulation pump is connected to the inlet of the alkali liquid shell and tube heat exchanger through a pipeline; an A pipeline is arranged at the outlet of the alkali liquid shell and tube heat exchanger; a B pipeline connected to the circulation port of the alkali liquid recovery tank and a C pipeline connected to the inlet of the sodium carbonate circulation tank are respectively arranged on the A pipeline.
[0007] Furthermore, the second inlet is provided with a water supply pipeline, and by adopting the above technical solution, water is supplied to the alkali solution recovery tank to dilute the high-concentration alkali solution, and the alkali solution concentration is diluted to ≤30%.
[0008] Furthermore, a alkali solution circulation pneumatic regulating valve is provided on the B pipeline.
[0009] Furthermore, A is provided with a remote density meter. By adopting the above technical solution, the staff can detect the concentration of the diluted alkali solution online, and dilute the concentration to ≤30% in time to send it to the sodium carbonate circulation pipe to configure sodium carbonate.
[0010] Furthermore, a pneumatic regulating valve for recovering alkali liquid is provided on the C pipeline.
[0011] Furthermore, the alkali solution circulation pump is provided with a remote start switch. By adopting the above technical solution, the staff can remotely control the start and stop of the alkali solution circulation pump, thereby reducing the labor intensity and safety factor of the on-site staff.
[0012] Furthermore, the baffle is made of nickel, the distance between the baffles is 350-400mm, and the inclination angle of the baffle is 62°. By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, the alkali solution releases a large amount of heat when encountering the water in the alkali solution circulation tank, and the water vaporizes instantly, preventing the water vapor from flowing back into the caustic soda flake machine through the first inlet and affecting the caustic soda flake concentration; on the other hand, the flow rate of the recovered alkali solution entering the alkali solution recovery tank is slowed down, inhibiting the instantaneous vaporization of the alkali solution and water.
[0013] Furthermore, a thermometer and a liquid level gauge are provided at the bottom of the alkali solution recovery tank.
[0014] Furthermore, the length of the first inlet into the alkali solution recovery tank is 90-100 mm.
[0015] Furthermore, the steam coil is provided with 4-6 pipe supports.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are that, by using an alkali liquid recovery device, on the one hand, the problem of environmental pollution caused by discharged alkali liquid is solved, and effective recycling and utilization are achieved, production costs are reduced, and production efficiency is improved. At the same time, the alkali liquid is heat exchanged by the alkali liquid shell and tube heat exchanger, so the temperature of the alkali liquid is reduced, and the generation of a large amount of water vapor to cause gas expansion is avoided, the safety factor of production is improved, and the risk of employee burns is reduced; on the other hand, the baffle in the alkali liquid recovery tank can prevent water vapor from entering the caustic soda flake machine through the first inlet, reduce the wall hanging phenomenon in the silo, and increase the operating time of the alkali flake machine. In addition, through the alkali liquid recovery tank, the concentration efficiency of the final concentrator is improved, and the service life of the falling film tubes is protected.
