[0002] Traditional hydrolysis or pyrolysis for ammonia production and denitration both require urea dissolution and urea solution storage of solid granular urea. The process system devices are basically similar. Generally, there are two sets of process system devices, including a urea solution dissolution system and a urea solution storage system. The two process systems are set separately. The main devices in the urea solution dissolution system include 1 - 2 urea dissolution tanks, solution pumps, etc. The main devices in the urea solution storage system include one standby urea solution storage tank, transfer pumps, etc. The stored urea solution is transported to the subsequent ammonia production device, namely the hydrolyzer for hydrolysis or the pyrolysis furnace for pyrolysis to produce ammonia.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0013] Please refer to Figure 1-2, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a urea dissolution and storage tank, including a housing 1, a urea granule inlet 2 and a solution injection port 3 are provided above the housing 1. A partition baffle 4 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the housing 1. The part above the partition baffle 4 is a dissolution area 5, and the part below the partition baffle 4 is a storage area 6. A solution overflow pipe 7 is installed through the surface of the partition baffle 4. A plurality of groups of heat exchange tube bundles 8 are also fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the housing 1. One end of the heat exchange tube bundle 8 penetrates through the side wall of the housing 1 and is installed with a steam inlet 9, and the other end of the heat exchange tube bundle 8 penetrates through the side wall of the housing 1 and is installed with a condensate outlet 10. A liquid outlet 11 is provided at the bottom end of the housing 1. The liquid outlet 11 is connected to a transfer pump 12 through a pipeline, and the transfer pump 12 is connected to a urea reaction system 13. The urea reaction system 12 is a hydrolyzer or a pyrolysis furnace. There are two solution overflow pipes 7 and they are installed on the left and right sides of the surface of the partition baffle 4. The heat exchange tube bundle 8 is located 10 - 20 cm above the partition baffle 4. The heat exchange tube bundle 8 is located around the solution overflow pipe 7. The quantity and specifications of the heat exchange tube bundle 8 can be adjusted according to actual requirements. The partition baffle 4 is a circular steel plate, and the solution overflow pipe 7 is a vertical circular steel pipe.

[0014] The detailed connection means are well-known techniques in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process. The specific work is as follows:

[0015] In the urea dissolution and storage tank of the present utility model, urea granules enter the dissolution area 5 through the urea granule inlet 2. In the dissolution area, the urea granules are mixed with water or other solvents, and the dissolution process is accelerated by the heat provided by the heat exchange tube bundle 8. The heat exchange tube bundle 8 introduces steam through the steam inlet 9, and transfers the heat to the urea and solvent mixture in the dissolution area through the outer wall of the heat exchange tube bundle 8, thereby promoting the dissolution of urea.

[0016] The dissolved urea solution flows into the storage area 6 through the solution overflow pipe 7, and the undissolved particles deposit on the partition baffle 4 and continue to dissolve. The function of the solution overflow pipe 7 is to ensure the liquid level difference between the dissolution area and the storage area, so that the urea solution in the dissolution area can flow smoothly into the storage area. When the liquid level in the storage area reaches a certain height, the excess solution will flow back to the dissolution area through the solution overflow pipe 7, thereby maintaining the liquid level balance between the two areas.

[0017] The urea solution in the storage area 6 is discharged through the liquid outlet 11. The liquid outlet 11 is connected to a transfer pump 12, and the transfer pump 12 transports the urea solution to the urea reaction system 13. The urea reaction system 13 can be a hydrolyzer or a pyrolysis furnace, and is selected according to actual process requirements. In the urea reaction system 13, the urea solution undergoes further chemical reactions to generate ammonia or other useful chemical substances.

[0018] The shape, quantity, and specifications of the heat exchange tube bundle 8 can be adjusted according to actual requirements to meet different heat exchange needs. For example, in the case where rapid dissolution of urea particles is required, the quantity of the heat exchange tube bundle can be increased or its specifications can be enlarged to provide more heat. In addition, the position of the heat exchange tube bundle 8 can also be optimized according to the actual technological process and spatial layout to ensure efficient heat transfer and uniform mixing of the urea solution.

[0019] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
