Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of carbon black production preheater dust cleaning, in particular to an air preheater dust cleaning device for carbon black production. Background Art

[0002] Carbon black flue gas is a mixture of reaction gases and carbon black before the carbon black is collected during the carbon black production process. It primarily contains carbon black, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other reaction gases. During carbon black production, fuel oil and air are burned to produce a high-temperature combustion gas stream reaching approximately 2100°C. This high-speed stream then enters the throat section of the reactor, where the feedstock oil rapidly vaporizes and cracks to produce carbon black. During the carbon black production process, carbon black dust, due to its strong adsorption properties, can adhere to the heat exchange tubes of the air preheater due to the carbon black flue gas's strong adsorption properties. This can reduce heat transfer efficiency by 20-35% in severe cases, significantly impacting production costs and hindering subsequent processes. Numerous measures have been adopted to address this issue, including the use of adhesives and carbon black particles for dredging during production, but these efforts have been ineffective. Once carbon black adsorbs on the heat exchange tubes, some of the carbon black forms coke under the high temperatures, making dredging more difficult and ineffective.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a technology to improve the above defects. Utility Model Content
