Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a coking ammonium sulfate tar separation device, belonging to the field of coke oven gas purification. Background Art
[0002] Existing coking plants use a saturator to produce ammonium sulfate to recover ammonia from coal gas. In this process, a portion of the mother liquor from the saturator flows through a full-flow trough and is then pumped back into the coal gas in the saturator's spray chamber by a small mother liquor pump. Acid tar floats on the surface of the mother liquor in the full-flow trough and needs to be manually removed. This acid tar, mostly mother liquor, also contains significant amounts of coal dust, coke dust, and a small amount of tar. Its composition is complex and highly corrosive. Furthermore, a certain amount of powdery solids accumulates at the bottom of the full-flow trough, making it difficult to handle. Furthermore, some odorous tail gas may escape from the surface of the acid tar.
[0003] A problem with the existing technology is that the acid tar in the full flow trough of the ammonium sulfate saturator generally separates into three layers after standing: acid tar at the top, mother liquor in the middle, and a slurry-like sediment containing suspended solids such as coal dust and coke at the bottom, accounting for approximately 3-10% by volume, 85-95% by volume, and 5-10% by volume, respectively. Most manufacturers manually remove the tar from the trough once it is full, dumping it directly into the coal yard or onto a conveyor belt for coal blending. This treatment method creates a very harsh on-site operating environment. During the scavenging operation, large amounts of exhaust gas, especially toxic coal gas, escape, posing a health risk to operators and potentially causing poisoning. Furthermore, during this treatment process, the sediment containing coke and coal dust at the bottom sometimes becomes hardened and agglomerated due to long-term storage, accumulating at the bottom of the trough or adhering to the trough walls, making it difficult to remove. Furthermore, even though the trough is sealed during operation, some exhaust gas still escapes, polluting the air and failing to meet environmental standards. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the problems of the above-mentioned prior art in the harsh manual operation environment, inconvenient cleaning of the full flow tank, and environmental pollution, the utility model provides a coking ammonium sulfate tar separation device to replace the original saturator full flow tank.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:
[0006] A coking ammonium sulfate acid tar separation device comprises a separation tank, a feed port is arranged in the middle of the separation tank body, and three layers of drainage ports are respectively provided on the side of the tank body, the upper drainage port is used to discharge acid tar, the middle drainage port is used to discharge mother liquor, and the lower drainage port is used to discharge tar sediment;
[0007] A middle full flow pipe is provided in the tank body, which is a 90° elbow pipe. The bottom of the pipe is inserted below the acid tar liquid level in the tank body, and the top outlet is set above the three-layer drainage port.
[0008] The bottom of the middle full flow pipe is connected to the inner wall of the separation tank through a short pipe.
[0009] A jacketed heater is provided in the middle and lower part of the tank body, and the top plate of the tank body is connected to a liquid level gauge, an exhaust gas outlet pipe and an observation hole respectively.
[0010] The device is equipped with a remote liquid level gauge, an automatic liquid inlet regulating valve (which automatically controls the valve opening according to the liquid level), a transparent quick connector, etc.
[0011] The feed port is a 45° inverted structure to avoid blockage of the feed port.
[0012] The three-layer drainage system on the side of the tank effectively separates the tar, mother liquor, and tar sediment in the acid tar according to the different densities. The drainage pipes connecting the tank and the three-layer drainage outlet use transparent quick connectors, allowing for continuous monitoring of the drainage separation process and facilitating maintenance and disassembly.
[0013] The liquid level gauge is an internal float type liquid level gauge installed on the top of the tank body. It can remotely monitor and control the liquid level of the separation tank in real time and is interlocked with the automatic liquid inlet regulating valve to achieve effective control of the liquid level of the separation tank. The automatic liquid inlet regulating valve is installed at the feed inlet.
[0014] A jacketed heater installed at the bottom of the tank accelerates the stratification of the acid tar. The heating and insulation jacket uses electric heating or hot water to keep the heating temperature below 75°C. Heat inlet and outlet are located at the top and bottom of the heater.
[0015] An exhaust gas outlet pipe is provided on the upper part of the tank body, and a quick interface is provided with the exhaust gas treatment device of the original system to prevent the exhaust gas from escaping during use.
[0016] The utility model realizes the separate discharge of each phase of the statically layered medium and achieves effective separation by setting up three layers of liquid discharge pipes. The upper acid tar discharge port separates and extracts the acid tar. The middle mother liquor discharge port returns the mother liquor in the acid tar after stratification in the tank body to the system, recycling the mother liquor while reducing the amount of acid tar. The bottom sediment discharge port discharges heavy impurities with higher density. An internal float-type remote level gauge is installed on the top of the device to realize remote monitoring of the liquid level in the tank. The level gauge is interlocked with the feed port control valve to accurately control the liquid level in the tank. The device is provided with a jacketed heater, which can better promote the stratification of the acid tar in the tank and better separate the acid tar. In order to prevent the coal powder and coke powder part of the bottom of the tank body from hardening, a heating jacket is set in the lower middle part of the tank body. In order to avoid the mother liquor temperature being too high and causing corrosion to the tank body, the jacketed heater used adopts electric insulation or hot water insulation to accurately control the heating temperature.
[0017] The coking ammonium sulfate tar separation device provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] (1) The feed port is inverted at 45° and equipped with a quick connector to avoid feed blockage and facilitate maintenance;
[0019] (2) The design of three-layer drainage and middle-section full-flow pipe ensures the effective separation of acid tar, mother liquor, and tar sediment and the recycling of mother liquor;
[0020] (3) By installing a remote liquid level meter, the liquid level in the separation tank can be effectively controlled to ensure separation effect and production safety, thus achieving automation;
[0021] (4) By installing a jacketed heater on the tank body, it is more conducive to the stratification of acid tar inside the tank body;
[0022] (5) By setting up a mid-section full flow pipe, the mother liquor after the acid tar is stratified can be discharged under the full flow state, thus reducing the amount of acid tar entering the production system;
[0023] (6) Through the easily detachable transparent quick connector, the acid tar production situation can be effectively observed;
[0024] (7) Electric heating or hot water heating can better control the heating temperature and avoid the situation where the steam heating has a high local temperature control;
[0025] (8) By setting up exhaust gas collection pipelines, exhaust gas can be recovered in an organized manner to avoid escape and improve the on-site environment.
