[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in one embodiment, the urea production system includes a granulation tower 100, a capture and purification integrated machine 200 and a deammonification tower 300. The capture and purification integrated machine 200 is arranged at the top of the granulation tower 100, and is used to receive the gas from the granulation tower 100. The capture and purification integrated machine 200 is provided with a reaction space 201 and a demisting device 210. The ammonia in the gas from the granulation tower 100 reacts with the reaction solvent in the reaction space 201. The demisting device 210 is arranged at the top of the reaction space 201, and is used to receive the gas from the reaction space 201 and absorb the dispersion medium in the gas. The deammonification tower 300 is connected to the capture and purification integrated machine 200, and is used to receive the reaction solvent from the capture and purification integrated machine 200 after reacting with ammonia and recover the ammonia in the reaction solvent.
[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the prilling tower 100 is used to produce urea granules. Specifically, the prepared urea solution is transported to the prilling tower 100. The urea solution is sprayed from the top of the prilling tower 100 as droplets that fall freely. During their fall, the droplets come into contact with countercurrent air, cooling and solidifying into urea granules. The countercurrent air, carrying some urea dust and ammonia, flows out of the prilling tower 100 and enters the reaction space 201 of the integrated capture and purification unit 200. A reaction solvent is sprayed inside the integrated capture and purification unit 200. The gas from the prilling tower 100 reacts with the reaction solvent in the reaction space 201, and the reaction solvent absorbs the ammonia carried by the gas.
[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the gas after reacting with the reaction solvent continues to flow upward, passing through the demister 210, where liquid and solid particles in the gas are removed, and finally discharged into the atmosphere. The deamination tower 300 is connected to the capture and purification integrated unit 200. The reaction solvent after absorbing ammonia can be transported to the deamination tower 300. Within the deamination tower 300, carbon dioxide reacts with the reaction solvent to precipitate ammonia in the reaction solvent, thereby obtaining a reaction solvent-lean solution that can be further used to absorb ammonia.
[0031] In the solution of this embodiment, by arranging a capture and purification integrated machine 200 at the top of the granulation tower 100, the gas from the granulation tower 100 can react with the reaction solvent in the reaction space 201 of the capture and purification integrated machine 200, thereby reducing the ammonia in the gas. And the gas after the reaction with the reaction solvent is processed by the demisting device 210 to remove the liquid and solid particles in the gas before being discharged into the atmosphere, thereby effectively reducing the content of ammonia and urea dust in the exhaust gas, which helps to protect the environment. In addition, the deammonification tower 300 receives the reaction solvent after the reaction and recovers the ammonia absorbed by the reaction solvent, which helps to recycle the raw materials and the recycling of the reaction solvent, thereby reducing costs.
[0032] It should be noted that the urea production system is configured such that the operating pressure of the deamination tower 300 is higher than the operating pressure of the capture and purification integrated machine 200 .
[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the integrated capture and purification unit 200 is equipped with a spray device 220 and a recovery tank 202. The spray device 220 is disposed within the reaction space 201 and is used to spray the reaction solvent into the reaction space 201. The recovery tank 202 is disposed at the bottom of the reaction space 201 and is used to receive the falling reaction solvent. The recovery tank 202 is connected to the deamination tower 300, so that the deamination tower 300 receives the reaction solvent from the recovery tank 202.
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, specifically, the spray device 220 sprays the reaction solvent into the reaction space 201. During the falling process, the spray device 220 encounters the upward flowing gas, thereby reacting with the gas, absorbing ammonia in the gas, and finally falling into the recovery tank 202. A recovery pump 400 is provided between the recovery tank 202 and the deamination tower 300. The recovery pump 400 transports the reaction solvent in the recovery tank 202 to the deamination tower 300.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the capture and purification integrated machine 200 is provided with a circulation pump 230, and the spraying device 220 includes a first spraying device 221. The circulation pump 230 connects the recovery tank 202 and the first spraying device 221 to transport the reaction solvent in the recovery tank 202 to the first spraying device 221.
[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, that is, the circulation pump 230 can transport the reaction solvent in the recovery tank 202 to the first spraying device 221, and the first spraying device 221 sprays it into the reaction space 201. The reaction solvent sprayed into the reaction space 201 by the first spraying device 221 will fall into the recovery tank 202 again.
[0037] Because the reaction solvent and the gas may not react fully after a single contact, a circulation pump 230 is used to transport the reaction solvent that has fallen into the recovery tank 202 to the first spray device 221. The first spray device 221 then sprays it back into the reaction space 201, thereby helping to ensure a full reaction between the reaction solvent and the ammonia in the gas. Furthermore, this arrangement allows the reaction solvent in the recovery tank 202 to be transported to the deamination tower 300 for deamination treatment after the saturation level of the reaction solvent in the recovery tank 202 reaches the required level, thereby reducing power consumption.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the urea production system includes a delivery pump 500 , and the spraying device 220 includes a second spraying device 222 . The delivery pump 500 connects the deamination tower 300 and the second spraying device 222 to deliver the deammoniation-treated reaction solvent in the deamination tower 300 to the second spraying device 222 .
[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, after the reaction solvent that has absorbed ammonia in recovery tank 202 is transported to deamination tower 300, ammonia is precipitated in deamination tower 300, resulting in a lean reaction solvent solution that can be further used to absorb ammonia. A delivery pump 500 transports the lean reaction solvent solution to second spray device 222, which sprays it into reaction space 201. The reaction solvent sprayed into reaction space 201 by second spray device 222 then falls back into recovery tank 202.
[0040] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the reaction solvent that has undergone deamination treatment in the deamination tower 300 is transported to the second spraying device 222 by using the delivery pump 500, and then sprayed into the reaction space 201 again by the second spraying device 222, so that the reaction solvent can be recycled and the circulation can be made more timely and efficient.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second spray device 222 is arranged at a higher position than the first spray device 221. That is, the reaction solvent in the deamination tower 300 that has undergone deamination treatment is sprayed into the reaction space from a spray position higher than the spray position of the circulating reaction solvent directly from the recovery tank 202.
[0042] Because the ammonia content of the reaction solvent that has been deaminated in the deammoniation tower 300 is lower, and the ammonia content of the circulating reaction solvent directly from the recovery tank 202 is relatively high, the circulating reaction solvent directly from the recovery tank 202 is sprayed into the reaction space 201 at a lower spray position, and the reaction solvent that has been deaminated in the deammoniation tower 300 is sprayed into the reaction space 201 at a higher spray position, so that the circulating reaction solvent directly from the recovery tank 202 contacts the gas first, and the ammonia content of the gas is the highest at this time, which can ensure that the circulating reaction solvent directly from the recovery tank 202 can also absorb part of the ammonia, that is, preliminarily absorb the ammonia in the gas, and then the gas meets the reaction solvent that has been deaminated and absorbs the ammonia in the gas again. Therefore, it can ensure that the reaction solvents sprayed by the first spray device 221 and the second spray device 222 can both achieve a good absorption effect, thereby effectively reducing the ammonia content in the gas.
[0043] It should be noted that the gas from the granulation tower can enter the reaction space from the side of the capture and purification integrated machine.
[0044] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the spraying device may only spray the reaction solvent that has undergone deammoniation treatment.
[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a packing 240 is provided within the reaction space 201 and is located below the spraying device 220. Specifically, the reaction solvent sprayed by the spraying device 220 can fall onto the packing 240, and the upward-flowing gas can meet and react with the reaction solvent on the packing 240. The packing 240 can increase the contact area between the gas and the reaction solvent, thereby ensuring a more complete reaction.
[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the demisting device 210 includes a plurality of plates, each of which is passed with current to utilize electrostatic adsorption to absorb the dispersion medium in the gas. The electrostatic adsorption effect is better and helps to fully absorb the liquid and dispersion medium in the gas.
[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the capture and purification integrated machine 200 further includes a fan 250, which is disposed on the top of the capture and purification integrated machine 200 and is used to drive the gas out of the capture and purification integrated machine 200. The provision of the fan 250 helps to improve gas fluidity and prevent gas deposition in the reaction space.
[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, two equalizing plates 260 are provided in the reaction space 201, with the plurality of equalizing plates 260 distributed longitudinally. The equalizing plates 260 are located below the spray device 220 and are provided with a plurality of through holes 261. The equalizing plates 260 are tilted relative to the reaction space 201, with adjacent equalizing plates 260 tilted in opposite directions.
[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the lower current equalizing plate 260 of the two current equalizing plates 260 is tilted from the lower left to the upper right, and the higher current equalizing plate 260 is tilted from the lower right to the upper left, and the lowest point of the higher current equalizing plate 260 is higher than the highest point of the lower current equalizing plate 260. The reaction solvent sprayed by the spray device 220 can fall on the current equalizing plate 260 and diffuse on the current equalizing plate 260. At the same time, the gas flowing upward needs to pass through the through holes 261 of the current equalizing plate 260, so as to be dispersed by the multiple through holes 261 of the current equalizing plate 260. In this way, the dispersed gas and the diffused reaction solvent meet and react on the surface of the current equalizing plate 260. The current equalizing plate 260 can increase the contact area between the gas and the reaction solvent, thereby making the reaction more sufficient.
[0050] In addition, by arranging multiple flow equalizing plates 260 in the reaction space 201 and making the inclination directions of two adjacent flow equalizing plates 260 opposite, the flow equalizing plates 260 can guide the flow of the gas, so that the gas flows in a reciprocating bend flow path in the reaction space 201, thereby extending the flow path of the gas in the reaction space 201, helping to give the gas and liquid more reaction time in the reaction space 201, thereby further improving the fullness of the reaction between the gas and the reaction solvent.
[0051] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, one, three or more flow equalizing plates may be provided in the reaction space, that is, at least one flow equalizing plate may be provided in the reaction space. In addition, the flow equalizing plate may also be placed horizontally in the reaction space.
[0052] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or deduced from the contents disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and deemed to cover all such other variations or modifications.
