[0003] Currently, blast furnace gas dechlorination is primarily accomplished through dry and wet methods. Wet dechlorination typically involves spraying alkali solution through pipelines, with butterfly valves and water seals / slide valves often used as reliable shutoff devices before the gas scrubber. Externally located reliable shutoff devices increase the system footprint, increase system resistance due to excessive equipment, and complicate maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0007] The coal gas desulfurization tower includes a tower body, which adopts a hollow tower structure and is arranged vertically with its bottom fixed to the ground. The tower body is provided with a water inlet, a drain outlet, and an exhaust outlet, with the water inlet located above the drain outlet. A coal gas inlet pipe is provided in the coal gas inlet system, which is connected to the side wall of the tower body, extends into the tower body, and is arranged vertically downward in the tower body, with the outlet of the coal gas inlet pipe located between the water inlet and the drain outlet.

[0018] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. By installing a water inlet and drain port on the gas desulfurization tower that matches the water seal piping system, water is injected into the tower body through the water seal piping system to a level higher than the gas inlet pipe, thus forming a water seal within the tower body.

[0025] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model provides a blast furnace gas dechlorination tower with a water seal cut-off function.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] It includes a gas intake system 1, a gas outlet system 2, and a chlorine water spray pipe system 3, as well as a gas desulfurization tower 4 and a water seal piping system 5. The gas desulfurization tower includes a tower body 4-1, which adopts an empty tower structure, is arranged vertically, and has a bottom fixed to the ground; a water inlet 4-2, a drain outlet 4-3, and an exhaust outlet 4-11 are provided on the tower body, and the water inlet is located above the drain outlet; a gas inlet pipe 2-1 is provided in the gas intake system, and the gas inlet pipe is connected to the side wall of the tower body, extends into the tower body, and is arranged vertically downward in the tower body, with the outlet of the gas inlet pipe located between the water inlet and the drain outlet; the water seal piping system is connected to the sub-water inlet and the drain outlet, and is used to control the relative position between the water level in the tower body and the gas inlet pipe;
[0029] The gas outlet system is connected to the exhaust port on the top of the tower body, and the chlorine water spray pipe system is connected to the upper side wall of the tower body.
[0030] In this embodiment, a water inlet and drain port compatible with the water seal piping system are installed on the gas desulfurization tower. Water is injected into the tower body through the water seal piping system to a level higher than the gas inlet pipe, submerging the gas inlet pipe in the water. This creates a water seal within the tower body. This allows the tower body to function as a water seal cutoff. Once the gas system is overhauled, the bottom drain valve is opened, the water is drained, and the tower body can then be used as a gas dechlorination tower. Based on these measures, this blast furnace gas dechlorination tower simultaneously possesses both a water seal cutoff function and a water washing and dechlorination function. This not only streamlines gas delivery and reduces the need for butterfly valves, but also eliminates the need for independent water seals, effectively reducing system resistance and the workload for subsequent equipment maintenance.
[0031] In this embodiment, the gas intake system and the gas outlet system are both existing structures and are not summarized in this application; in addition, the water seal pipeline system adopts a common water supply pipeline structure 5-1 and a drainage pipeline structure 5-2. The water supply pipeline structure is composed of pipelines, valves, water pumps and water supply sources, and the drainage pipeline structure is composed of pipelines, valves, and water storage tanks; they are all common structures and are not summarized.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] The structure and principles of Example 2 are similar to those of Example 1, differing in that a chlorine water spray pipe system is provided. The chlorine water spray pipe system comprises multiple layers of alkali spray layers 3-1 and a spray water supply line 3-2. The multiple layers of alkali spray layers are arranged vertically in intervals, each layer being equipped with a spray gun. The spray water supply line utilizes an existing structure and is connected to the spray guns of each alkali spray layer. A regulating valve is installed within the spray water supply line. When the blast furnace gas dechlorination tower is operating normally for gas spray dechlorination, the spray water supply line is opened, and a regulating valve is installed on the spray water supply line to adjust the alkali solution and control the water spray rate according to the chloride ion content in the gas. The figure shows a two-layer alkali spray layer.
[0034] In Example 2, each spray layer includes multiple spray guns 3-11, which are spaced circumferentially around the tower body and positioned on the same horizontal plane. Each spray gun is connected to a spray water supply line. In this embodiment, the spray guns spray alkaline solution into the tower body to remove chloride ions, achieving a dechlorination efficiency exceeding 95% with low water consumption.
[0035] Preferably, each spray layer contains three spray guns, and the angle between the axes of two adjacent spray guns is 120 degrees. The angle can be adjusted according to the diameter of the tower body to ensure full coverage of the spray range.
[0036] Example 3
[0037] The structure and principle of Example 3 are similar to those of Example 1 or 2, except that it also includes a mechanical water removal layer 6, which is arranged on the upper inner wall of the tower body and located between the gas outlet system and the chlorine water spray pipe system.
[0038] The mechanical water removal layer adopts a stainless steel orifice plate corrugated structure. The water seal in the gas condenses on the stainless steel orifice plate and gathers at the bottom of the tower body. It has the characteristics of not easy to be blocked, large flow rate, small resistance, and low pressure drop, and can effectively block the impact of mechanical water on the gas system.
[0039] In Examples 1-3, glass flakes are coated inside the tower body, which effectively reduces the corrosion of chloride salts on the tower body and extends the service life of the equipment.
[0040] In Examples 1-3, an overflow port 4-4 is further provided on the side wall of the tower body, and the overflow port is connected to the drainage pipe structure of the water seal pipe system, and the overflow port is used to adjust the water level in the tower body; a liquid level gauge 4-5 is also provided, and the liquid level gauge is interlocked with the water supply pipe to adjust the liquid level height in the tower body through the liquid level gauge in conjunction with the water seal pipe system.
[0041] In Examples 1-3, a pressure detection sensor 4-6 and a temperature detection sensor 4-7 are also provided for measuring the pressure and temperature in the tower body, so as to facilitate the detection of reaction data in the tower body; a purge head 4-8 is also provided, which is provided on the side wall of the tower body and is used to purge the remaining coal gas in the tower body.
[0042] In Examples 1-3, a manhole 4-9 for inspecting the interior of the tower body is provided on the side wall of the tower body, and a sewage outlet 4-10 is provided at the bottom of the side wall for discharging sewage that has been used and accumulated at the bottom of the tower body.
[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
