Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to dehydration equipment technical field especially, relates to a kind of adsorption desorption tank and the device for removing water in n-propanol. BACKGROUND
[0002] N-propanol is generally recovered by rectifying column, the tower kettle of rectifying column is evaporated by steam heat exchange, the ascending gas enters rectifying column gradually to reach the top, and the top heat exchanger makes the ascending gas condense into condensed liquid fraction, and the condensed liquid fraction is divided into two parts by reflux valve control, part of fraction can flow back to rectifying column to participate in rectifying process, and reflux ratio is adjusted according to reflux amount, so that the extracted fraction is more pure, another part of fraction can be extracted and temporarily stored in n-propanol detection tank as recovered n-propanol, and recovered for use after detection is qualified. However, in actual production process, because the mother liquor contains a small amount of water, and the boiling point of water and n-propanol is small, it is difficult to separate by adjusting reflux ratio, and the water content of recovered n-propanol is often exceeded in actual production, which cannot be used, and can only be disposed as waste liquid. This increases the treatment amount and treatment cost of three wastes, and also loses single batch n-propanol, reduces the reuse amount of n-propanol, increases the use amount of new n-propanol, and increases the production cost.

[0024] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides an adsorption desorption tank, which includes a tank body 1, the tank body 1 is vertically arranged and the upper and lower ends are respectively connected to an upper head 2 and a lower head 3, the lower head 3 is connected to a tee pipe 4, the upper head 2 is connected to a discharge pipe 5 and an air inlet pipe 6, a perforated support plate 7 is provided at the lower end of the tank body 1, and a perforated pressure plate 8 is provided at the upper end, and a molecular sieve adsorption desorbent 9 is also filled between the perforated support plate 7 and the perforated pressure plate 8; a bracket is also fixedly connected to the lower head 3, and the perforated support plate 7 is abutted against the bracket, and the upper head 2 and the tank body 1, as well as the lower head 3 and the tank body 1 are connected by a connecting ring 10 and a bolt 11, wherein the perforated support plate 7 and the perforated pressure plate 8 are respectively provided with holes, but the apertures of these holes are smaller than the particle size of the molecular sieve adsorption desorbent 9, thereby ensuring that the molecular sieve adsorption desorbent 9 is stably filled between the perforated support plate 7 and the perforated pressure plate 8.
[0025] In the above embodiment, one interface of the three-way pipe 4 is used for the n-propanol in the tank to be inspected to enter (the three-way pipe 4 is provided with a three-way valve to control the on and off of each interface), and then enters the lower head 3 through the interface connected to the lower head 3, and then passes through the perforated support plate 7 to contact with the molecular sieve adsorption desorbent 9. The molecular sieve adsorption desorbent 9 absorbs the moisture in the n-propanol, and then the n-propanol passes through the perforated pressure plate 8 to enter the upper head 2, and then is led out through the discharge pipe 5 and refluxed into the tank to be inspected. After several cycles, the moisture in the n-propanol is gradually reduced to a qualified level, the n-propanol introduction is disconnected, and the n-propanol in the tank body 1 is emptied (such as Figure 1 As shown, it can be emptied through another laterally arranged interface), and then hot nitrogen is introduced into the upper head 2 through the air inlet pipe 6 for nitrogen blowing. The hot nitrogen passes through the perforated pressure plate 8 and enters the molecular sieve adsorption desorbent 9, moves downward and passes through the perforated support plate 7, and then water and nitrogen are exported through the arranged horizontal interface, taking away moisture in the process, and the molecular sieve adsorption desorbent 9 recovers its function and performs the next round of operation, thereby removing moisture in the n-propanol, reducing the water content to a qualified level, and being able to reuse more n-propanol, solving the problem in the prior art that the amount of n-propanol reuse is reduced and the production cost is increased due to excessive water content; in more detail, the molecular sieve adsorption desorbent 9 arranged can be a 4A molecular sieve, and at the same time, a bracket is also provided below the perforated support plate 7 to provide support for the perforated support plate 7, so that the perforated support plate 7 can be more stable.
[0026] A better solution, such as Figure 1 As shown, a device for removing water from n-propanol is provided, which includes a pair of the above-mentioned adsorption and desorption tanks. By combining the two adsorption and desorption tanks, adsorption and desorption are alternately performed to ensure the continuity of the dehydration operation, which can further improve the overall production efficiency.
[0027] like Figure 1 、 2As shown, a first supporting ring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the tank body 1, and a ring platform that can be placed on the first supporting ring 12 is provided on the outer edge of the perforated supporting plate 7, and the first supporting ring 12 and the perforated supporting plate 7 are connected by a first screw 13. The first supporting ring 12 provides a push for the perforated supporting plate 7 at the outer edge, and the bracket provides an upward support in the middle, so that the perforated supporting plate 7 has better stability. Specifically, the perforated supporting plate 7 is a downward convex arc structure, so that the relative area of the perforated supporting plate 7 is larger, and the bracket includes a plurality of inclined rods 14 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower head 3, and a plurality of inclined rods 14 fixedly connected to all The tray 15 is fixedly connected to the oblique rod 14, and multiple push rods 16 are fixedly connected to the tray 15. All push rods 16 extend obliquely upward and abut against the center of the perforated support plate 7. The oblique rod 14 extends obliquely downward toward the center, so that the tray 15 is located at a low place, and the push rods 16 extend obliquely upward and outward, which also makes the tray 15 located at a relatively low place. When nitrogen blowing is performed, water can flow more smoothly downward along the oblique rods 14 and the push rods 16 without being retained. In further detail, the upper end surface of the tray 15 is a convex arc surface, and water will not be retained on the tray 15.
[0028] like Figure 1 、 3 As shown, a second supporting ring 17 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the upper end of the tank body 1, and the perforated pressure plate 8 is connected to the upper annular surface of the second supporting ring 17 through a second screw 18. The second supporting ring 17 supports the perforated pressure plate 8 upward, and the two are locked by the second screw 18. In more detail, the inner wall of the tank body 1 below the second supporting ring 17 forms an arc-shaped transition with the inner annular wall of the second supporting ring 17, so that the molecular sieve adsorption desorbent 9 filled at this position is not prone to voids, the filling is more solid, and it is more stable during operation.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
