Worldwide, about 20 billion tons of carbon dioxide are emitted into the atmosphere every year, which not only causes air pollution and forms a terrible greenhouse effect, but also wastes precious resources.
[0003] At present, most of the carbon dioxide to methanol is carried out by the way of spray washing with water. Utilizing the fact that methanol is easily soluble in water, it is separated from carbon dioxide, and the separated carbon dioxide is dried to obtain food-grade carbon dioxide. However, the air inlet structure of the current food-grade carbon dioxide water spray washing device is simple and cannot carry out air inlet stay. A large-stroke spray cavity or multiple spray mechanisms are required to ensure the methanol water washing removal effect, which easily leads to the over-large volume of the water washing equipment and is not conducive to the miniaturization development, application and popularization of carbon dioxide recovery equipment.

[0026] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The side of the annular tube 21 close to the liquid outlet pipe 5 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 6. The liquid inlet pipe 6 and the annular tube 21 are integrated and fixed on the adsorption box 1, and the liquid inlet pipe 6 extends to the outside of the adsorption box 1 for externally connecting water washing liquid to ensure water circulation of the spray structure.
[0027] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The atomizing nozzle 22 is set at an angle of 45° downward to ensure uniform coverage of each position in the adsorption box and ensure the spraying effect.
[0028] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The diverter 32 is designed as a hollow tooth roller, and air holes are evenly opened on the surface of the teeth to ensure uniform air outlet and air intake choke of the intake pipe.
[0029] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The driving device 35 includes a driven wheel 351, the surface of which is connected to a driving wheel 353 via a belt 352, the center of which is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a driving motor 354, and the driving motor 354 is fixedly connected to the adsorption box 1, satisfying the design of the intake pipe rotation drive structure.
[0030] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 A sealing tube 7 is integrated at the bottom of the adsorption box 1 and at the outside of the air inlet pipe 31. A sealing filler 8 is filled inside the sealing tube 7 and located on the outside of the air inlet pipe 31. A limiting ring 9 is sleeved on the surface of the air inlet pipe 31 and located at the lower part of the sealing filler 8. A sealing end cover 10 is provided at the bottom of the limiting ring 9.

[0031] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The bottom edge of the adsorption box 1 is evenly and fixedly connected with supports 11 for installing and fixing the adsorption box.
[0032] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: during installation, an external carbon dioxide pipeline is connected to the bottom of the air inlet pipe 31 through a rotary joint; a water washing liquid introduction pipeline is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 6; a recovery liquid recovery pipeline is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 5; a food-grade carbon dioxide recovery pipeline is connected to the air outlet pipe 4; and a drive motor 354 is connected to an external control system.
[0033] In use, first, the atomizing nozzle 22 in the spraying mechanism 2 is used to evenly spray the washing liquid in the adsorption box 1. After the washing liquid submerges the fan blade 34, carbon dioxide is introduced into the flow divider 32 through the air inlet pipe 31. During the process of introducing carbon dioxide, the driving motor 354 is started to drive the driving wheel 353 to rotate. The driving wheel 353 drives the driven wheel 351 to rotate through the belt 352. The driven wheel 351 drives the air inlet pipe 31 to rotate, and the air inlet pipe 31 drives the flow divider 32 to rotate. Thus, carbon dioxide is evenly and rotatably diffused from the flow divider into the washing liquid. Moreover, the flow divider 32 also drives the fan blade 34 to rotate in cooperation with the connecting rod 33, further agitating the washing liquid, so that the carbon dioxide evenly introduced into the washing liquid is further mixed with the washing liquid to perform a primary washing and methanol adsorption on the methanol in the carbon dioxide. Then, as the carbon dioxide rises into the spraying area above the fan blade 34, the atomized spraying liquid of the washing liquid is used for secondary spraying and methanol adsorption. Therefore, the methanol in the food-grade carbon dioxide can be fully adsorbed by the short-stroke single spraying mechanism.
