Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of waste gas treatment equipment, in particular to a radon-containing waste gas treatment system. Background Art

[0002] Radon is a decay product of the radioactive element radium. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It usually exists in the air in the form of elemental radon gas. All isotopes of radon gas are radioactive. Places with relatively high indoor radon gas concentrations include underground buildings, tunnels, laboratories, etc. Once radon gas is inhaled into the human body, it will accumulate in the lungs and cause radiation damage to the respiratory system.

[0003] Most of the existing radon removal programs are aimed at indoor environments and workplaces, where the radon concentration is relatively low. 6 Bq / m 3 Below, usually ventilation dilution or adsorption material capture to reduce the radon concentration in the working and living environment, but for the high radon concentration in the industrial production environment, 10 9 Bq / m 3 The treatment efficiency of the above existing radon removal solutions for waste gas is too low. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a radon-containing waste gas treatment system to improve the treatment efficiency of radon-containing waste gas and ensure that the waste gas can be controlled and discharged in compliance with standards.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is:

[0006] A radon-containing waste gas treatment system includes an exhaust pipe, a first filter, a radon adsorption column group, a gas storage tank and a second filter arranged in sequence along the exhaust gas flow direction on the exhaust pipe, the radon adsorption column group includes a plurality of adsorption columns, and the plurality of adsorption columns are connected in series through pipes. The radon adsorption column group is provided in multiple groups, and the multiple groups of radon adsorption column groups are connected in parallel through pipes. A buffer tank for stabilizing the waste gas flow is provided between the radon adsorption column group and the gas storage tank, and the waste gas enters the gas storage tank through the buffer tank for decay and cooling. The gas storage tank is provided in multiple groups, and the multiple gas storage tanks are connected in parallel through pipes.

[0007] After the radon-containing waste gas passes through the first filter to remove moisture and acid gas, the radon gas adsorption column group removes most of the radioactive radon, and then passes through the buffer tank to stabilize the system flow and temporarily store in the gas storage tank for decay and cooling. Multiple groups of radon gas adsorption column groups are arranged in parallel to facilitate the treatment system to continuously treat the radon-containing waste gas when the adsorbent is replaced. Multiple gas storage tanks can continuously store waste gas during the decay and cooling process of a gas storage tank. After the radon gas concentration in the gas storage tank reaches the emission standard, the second filter is used to remove the radioactive aerosols in the radon-containing waste gas, thereby improving the treatment efficiency of the radon-containing waste gas.

[0008] Optionally, a first regulating valve is provided between the first filter and the air inlet of the exhaust pipe, and a flow meter is provided between the first filter and the radon adsorption column group. The flow meter cooperates with the first regulating valve to control the flow of exhaust gas in the exhaust pipe.

[0009] Optionally, the air inlet and outlet ends of each of the radon adsorption column groups are both provided with a second regulating valve.

[0010] Optionally, a booster pump for regulating the exhaust gas pressure in the exhaust pipe is provided between the buffer tank and the radon adsorption column group.

[0011] The booster pump increases the speed at which gas enters the buffer tank, further improving the treatment efficiency of radon-containing waste gas.

[0012] Optionally, a third regulating valve is provided at both the air inlet and the air outlet of the air storage tank.

[0013] Optionally, a vacuum pump is provided between the gas storage tank and the second filter.

[0014] Optionally, a first pressure sensor is provided between the radon adsorption column group and the booster pump, and a second pressure sensor is provided on the gas storage tank.

[0015] When the first pressure sensor detects that the air pressure in the exhaust pipe is lower than the threshold, the booster pump is started to pressurize the gas in the pipe. When the second pressure sensor detects that the air pressure in the gas storage tank is greater than the threshold, the third regulating valve at the air inlet end of the gas storage tank is closed, and the third regulating valve at the air inlet end of another gas storage tank is opened, so that the treatment system can continue to treat radon-containing waste gas, thereby improving the treatment efficiency of radon-containing waste gas.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: after the radon-containing waste gas passes through the first filter to remove moisture and acid gas, most of the radioactive radon is removed by the radon gas adsorption column group, and then the waste gas is temporarily stored in the gas storage tank for decay cooling after passing through the buffer tank to stabilize the system flow. The parallel arrangement of multiple radon gas adsorption column groups facilitates the treatment system to continuously treat the radon-containing waste gas when the adsorbent is replaced. The multiple gas storage tanks can continuously store the waste gas during the decay cooling process of one gas storage tank. After the radon gas concentration in the gas storage tank reaches the emission standard, the radon ion radioactive aerosol is removed by the second filter, thereby improving the treatment efficiency of the radon-containing waste gas and ensuring that the waste gas can be controlled and discharged in compliance with the standard.
