Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of distillation equipment, and in particular to an ultrapure ammonia distillation device. Background Art

[0002] High-purity ammonia is an important chemical raw material, widely used in ammonia synthesis, electronics industry and fertilizer production. In the preparation process of high-purity ammonia, a distillation tower is used to continuously distill ammonia water to separate ammonia gas and water. After continuous distillation in the distillation tower, ammonia gas is separated from the solution, and nitrogen gas passes upward through the tower plate or filler, gradually reducing the water content until the required high purity is reached. Finally, the high-purity ammonia gas is led out from the outlet pipe at the top of the tower into the condenser, and the cooling water in the condenser condenses the ammonia gas in the condenser into high-purity ammonia liquid.

[0003] The distillation towers used by large-scale high-purity ammonia manufacturers are relatively large and are usually installed outdoors. The existing gas outlet pipes are metal pipes. Due to the low outdoor temperature in the north in winter, it is easy for the high-temperature nitrogen discharged from the distillation tower to condense into liquid ammonia directly inside the gas outlet pipe. It is easy for the liquid ammonia in the gas outlet pipe to remain in the gas outlet pipe and reflux to the bottom of the distillation tower, affecting the production efficiency of the liquid ammonia. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to reduce the possibility that ammonia gas is condensed into ammonia liquid in the gas outlet pipeline and refluxes into the distillation tower, the present application provides an ultrapure ammonia distillation device.

[0005] The present application provides an ultrapure ammonia distillation device that adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An ultrapure ammonia distillation device comprises a distillation tower body and a condenser, wherein the top of the side wall of the distillation tower body is connected to a gas outlet pipe, one end of the gas outlet pipe is passed through the top wall of the distillation tower body, and the other end is connected to the condenser; and further comprises a heating element, wherein the heating element is used to heat the side wall of the gas outlet pipe, and an insulation layer is arranged around the outer wall of the gas outlet pipe.

[0007] By adopting the above technical scheme, ammonia enters the gas outlet pipe from the inside of the distillation tower body, and is transported to the condenser through the gas outlet pipe to be condensed into liquid ammonia; the insulation layer can isolate the external cold air outside the insulation layer, thereby reducing the influence of the external cold air on the ammonia in the gas outlet pipe, thereby reducing the possibility that the ammonia in the gas outlet pipe will condense into liquid ammonia in the pipe due to the low temperature caused by the external temperature; when the external temperature is too low, the heating element can heat up the side wall of the gas outlet pipe, thereby reducing the possibility that the ammonia in the gas outlet pipe will condense into liquid ammonia due to the low temperature and flow back into the distillation tower.

[0008] Optionally, the heating element includes a heating tube and a heating box, the heating tube is arranged between the outer wall of the air outlet pipe and the inner wall of the heating tube; the heating tube is arranged around the outer wall of the air outlet pipe, the interior of the heating tube is filled with a fluid medium, both ends of the heating tube in the extension direction are connected to the interior of the heating box, and a heater is arranged in the heating box, and the heater is used to heat the fluid medium.

[0012] Optionally, a side of the thermal insulation layer away from the air outlet pipe is covered with a protective layer.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective layer can protect the thermal insulation layer, thereby reducing the possibility of the thermal insulation layer being damaged by the external environment for a long time and extending the service life of the thermal insulation layer.

[0014] Optionally, a feeding pipe is provided on the side wall of the distillation tower body, one end of the feeding pipe is connected to the interior of the distillation tower body, and the other end is connected to a raw material box; the middle section of the feeding pipe is connected to a feed pump.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, ammonia gas is separated from ammonia water after distillation in the main body of the distillation tower, and the ammonia gas passes through the packing layer during its upward movement; when passing through multiple fluid channels, the moisture carried by the ammonia gas can adhere to the side walls of the fluid channels, so that the moisture carried by the ammonia gas is gradually reduced, thereby improving the purity of the ammonia liquid after treatment.

[0020] Optionally, one end of the gas outlet pipe close to the distillation tower body is covered with a water absorption layer, and the water absorption layer is filled with activated carbon desiccant.
