Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of low-pressure steam production and processing, and particularly relates to a catalytic oxidation system capable of recovering waste heat of tail gas. Background Technique
[0002] Both phenol and acetone are important organic chemical materials. Phenol is generally widely used in industries such as medicine, organic synthesis, and construction for disinfection, synthetic fibers, plastics, etc. Acetone is mainly used as a chemical reagent and is used as a solvent in industries such as rubber, plastics, explosives, and painting. In actual production, the production process for producing phenol and acetone is the cumene process, and low-pressure steam is an important material for producing phenol and acetone by the cumene process.
[0003] In the currently commonly used production system, the catalytic reactor will produce tail gas during the production process. The temperature of these tail gases is generally relatively high. During the tail gas treatment process, the tail gas is generally passed through a heat exchanger once and then discharged through a chimney. In this way, on the one hand, the temperature of the tail gas can be reduced, and on the other hand, the heat of the tail gas can be used to heat the steam to increase the steam temperature. However, the temperature of the tail gas discharged to the chimney after passing through the heat exchanger can sometimes still be as high as 180 °C. On the one hand, this will have a certain adverse impact on the environment, and on the other hand, the heat of the tail gas is not fully utilized, resulting in a certain waste of resources and an increase in production costs. Content of the Utility Model

[0026] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first section 101 of the main gas path is connected to the fan 17 through the air path 401. The connection interface of the air path 401 is located between the thermometer 12 and the first heat exchanger 4. A pressure gauge 15 and a cut-off valve 16 are provided on the air path 401.
[0027] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a first branch 201 is also provided on the first section 101 of the main gas path. One end of the first branch 201 is connected between the flow meter 11 and the cut-off valve 16, and the other end of the first branch 201 is connected to the first chimney 5. A cut-off valve 16 is provided on the first branch 201. When the gas output by the phenol acetone unit 19 needs to be directly discharged, the passage of the first section 101 of the main gas path can be closed through the cut-off valve 16, and the first branch 201 can be opened through the cut-off valve 16, so that the gas is discharged from the first chimney 5.
[0028] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a second branch 202 is also provided on the first section 101 of the main gas path. One end of the second branch 202 is connected between the thermometer 12 and the first heat exchanger 4, and the other end of the second branch 202 is connected to the electric heater 1. A regulating valve 18 is provided on the second branch 202.

[0029] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a thermometer 12 is provided on the second section 102 of the main gas path, a pressure gauge 15 is provided on the third section 103 of the main gas path, a thermometer 12 and an oxygen analyzer 3 are provided on the fourth section 104 of the main gas path.

The transportation condition can be detected in real time by the thermometer 12, pressure gauge 15 and flowmeter 11 on the first section 101 of the main gas path. After the tail gas is heat-exchanged in the first heat exchanger 4, it is then transferred to the electric heater 1 through the second section 102 of the main gas path.

The tail gas after the reaction passes through the fourth section 104 of the main gas path to reach the first heat exchanger 4. The arriving tail gas is low-temperature tail gas and can be heat-exchanged. The heat-exchanged tail gas is then transferred to the second heat exchanger 7 through the fifth section 105 of the main gas path. Finally, the tail gas after the secondary heat exchange reaches the first chimney 5 through the sixth section 106 of the main gas path for discharge; when the tail gas produced from the phenol acetone unit 19 needs to be directly discharged, the cut-off valve 16 on the first section 101 of the main gas path is opened, and the cut-off valve 16 on the first branch 201 is closed, and the unnecessary tail gas is directly discharged from the first chimney 5; if the tail gas produced by the phenol acetone unit 19 does not meet the requirements of the first heat exchanger 4, the second branch 202 is directly opened through the regulating valve 18, so that the tail gas directly reaches the electric heater 1 through the second branch 202. After the electric heater 1 adjusts the temperature of the tail gas, it is discharged into the reactor 2 through the third section 103 of the main gas path; the heat exchange source required by the second heat exchanger 7 is provided by the low-pressure steam produced by the steam condensation device 8. The low-pressure steam enters the second heat exchanger 7 through the first section 301 of the steam path for heat exchange, and then the low-pressure steam is transferred to the low-pressure steam main pipe 9 through the second section 302 of the steam path for subsequent processing. Such a setting can not only provide a heat exchange source for the secondary heat exchange of the tail gas, but also enable the low-pressure steam to meet the temperature requirements of the subsequent processing. The produced waste water and waste residues are discharged to the trench 10 through the fourth branch 204 for treatment.
