Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ammonia distillation equipment, in particular to an ammonia distillation device which vaporizes waste water into steam through microwave heating. Background Art
[0002] At present, ammonia evaporation mainly adopts direct steam ammonia evaporation process, thermal oil ammonia evaporation process, tubular furnace ammonia evaporation process and steam reboiler ammonia evaporation process. Coking wastewater is characterized by high ammonia phenol content and poor biodegradability. It is a difficult and hot spot in the field of industrial wastewater. Its treatment usually requires flotation oil removal, solvent dephenolization, wastewater ammonia evaporation, biochemical treatment and other steps before it can meet the discharge standards. The steps before biochemical treatment are collectively referred to as pretreatment. Biochemical treatment is more sensitive to the ammonia nitrogen content and phenol content after pretreatment. The only process in pretreatment that controls the ammonia nitrogen index is the ammonia evaporation process, so ammonia evaporation is a key step in wastewater treatment.
[0003] However, existing ammonia distillation processes and equipment have at least the following drawbacks and deficiencies: Direct steam ammonia distillation uses steam introduced directly from the bottom of the ammonia distillation tower, where it is condensed and discharged along with the tower bottom wastewater. This process not only fails to reduce wastewater emissions but actually increases ammonia distillation wastewater by approximately 20%, resulting in low energy efficiency and a heavier burden on subsequent biochemical treatment. Direct steam ammonia distillation also has low tower efficiency, high energy consumption, high costs, and severe environmental pollution. Thermal oil ammonia distillation uses an indirect heating ammonia distillation reboiler to supply heat to the ammonia distillation tower. The reboiler is heated with thermal oil. The thermal oil is heated by coal gas in a thermal oil boiler and pumped to the reboiler to circulate and heat the tower bottom wastewater. The released heat is then returned to the thermal oil boiler for reheating and recycling. Thermal oil ammonia distillation requires high investment, and the thermal oil heater generates waste gas. In the tubular furnace ammonia distillation process, the tower bottom wastewater is pumped to the tubular furnace for heating. The resulting vapor-liquid mixture is then returned to the tower for flash evaporation to generate steam, which serves as the heat source for the ammonia distillation tower. This process requires high investment, and the tubular furnace heater produces exhaust gas. The steam reboiler process uses steam to indirectly heat the ammonia distillation reboiler to supply heat to the ammonia distillation tower, reducing the amount of wastewater generated by direct steam distillation. However, this process requires high investment, and the steam temperature is unstable, which affects the ammonia distillation operation. Utility Model Content

The steam flows upward through the central circular hole of the upper conical section 9 into the tower tray 7 to be used for ammonia distillation in the ammonia distillation tower. From the bottom of the tower tray, it moves upward in reverse contact with the raw ammonia water to complete the ammonia distillation process. The liquid outside the upper conical section 9 returns to the evaporation space along the drain port 10 to continue vaporization. Tar and other impurities at the bottom of the evaporation space are discharged to the outside of the tower through the first vent port 13.
[0040] This utility model utilizes microwave heating device 15 to vaporize wastewater and provide steam for the ammonia still.
