Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a low-energy-consumption and high-efficiency separator. Background Art
[0002] A distillation tower is a tower-type gas-liquid contact device for distillation, including plate-type and packed-type distillation towers. It utilizes the different volatilities of components in a mixture—that is, the different vapor pressures of each component at the same temperature—to transfer light components (lower boiling points) from the liquid phase to the vapor phase, while heavy components (higher boiling points) from the vapor phase transfer to the liquid phase, thereby achieving separation. For example, patent application number CN201520406063.7 describes a continuous distillation tower with stepped staggered trays. Plate-type distillation towers rely on contact on the trays under a gravitational field, requiring dozens of trays to achieve high-purity separations, resulting in low mass transfer efficiency and long processing time. The equipment is also relatively large and cumbersome, with the spacing between trays reaching tens of meters, requiring a large footprint. Unlike traditional distillation towers, this application utilizes centrifugal force to divide the liquid, creating a much larger surface area than the distillation tower, enabling more efficient mass transfer and chemical reactions. It takes up less space and achieves the same or better effect and rate as the distillation tower, which can achieve the purpose efficiently and save costs. Utility Model Content

At the same time, it also improves the mass transfer reaction efficiency through the setting of a liquid distributor, avoiding the local dry area of the moving disk that leads to a reduction in mass transfer area and a decrease in efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, the moving disk includes a base disk connected to the driving mechanism, and a connecting plate is detachably connected to the base disk. The connecting plate is provided with a plurality of concentric moving rings of different diameters. The static disk is provided with a plurality of concentric static rings of different diameters, and gaps are left between adjacent concentric static rings to accommodate the concentric moving rings. The concentric static rings and the concentric moving rings are nested with each other and arranged in an interlaced manner to form a channel for the circulation of gas and liquid.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper portions of the side walls of the plurality of concentric moving coils are circumferentially distributed with a plurality of oblique holes, and the oblique holes are arranged obliquely upward from the inner side to the outer side of the concentric moving coils.
[0009] Furthermore, the shell includes a top cover, a plurality of intermediate shells and a bottom shell, and the top cover, the bottom shell and the plurality of intermediate shells are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0010] Furthermore, the top cover is provided with an air outlet and a liquid return port, part of the middle shell is provided with a liquid inlet, and the bottom shell is provided with a liquid outlet and an air inlet, and the air outlet, liquid return port, liquid inlet, liquid outlet and air inlet are all connected to the interior of the shell.
[0011] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a main shaft and a motor. One end of the main shaft passes through the shell and is connected to the top cover through a bearing, and the other end is connected to a pulley, and the pulley is driven by a motor belt.
[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. Compared with traditional distillation towers, the high-efficiency separator in this application has high separation effect, small equipment size and low energy consumption. It can be combined with other reactors, evaporators and other equipment in the generation workshop to directly separate and purify the solvent, thereby optimizing the process flow, reducing energy consumption, saving costs and facilitating operation.
[0013] 2. This application sets a liquid distributor at the center of the static plate. The setting of the liquid distributor eliminates the deviation of the natural flow of the liquid, ensures that the moving plate receives the liquid evenly, increases the contact area with other phases, improves the mass transfer reaction efficiency, and avoids the local dry area of the moving plate causing a reduction in mass transfer area and a decrease in efficiency.

The extension platform also has blocks, and the upper and lower ends of the stator plate 5 have corresponding slots with corresponding blocks.
