DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] The utility model provides a bubble tower for wet-process phosphoric acid defluorination, such as Figs. 1-3 As shown, it includes a tower body 1, wherein a plurality of tower plates 2 are horizontally installed from top to bottom inside the tower body 1, and a plurality of bubble caps 3 are densely distributed on the tower plates 2. A steam outlet 12 is provided on the top of the tower body 1, and the steam outlet 12 is connected to an exhaust gas treatment device to absorb the fluorine in the exhaust gas and then recycle or empty it. An acid inlet 13 is provided above the topmost tower plate 1, and a downcomer 4 is provided on each tower plate 2. The upper and lower downcomers 4 are staggered on the left and right sides of the upper and lower tower plates 2. A liquid outlet 6 is provided on the side wall of the tower body 1 near each tower plate 2, and an acid outlet 14 is provided on one side of the lower part of the tower body 1. A liquid seal pipe 5 is provided on the partition 7, and a steam ring pipe and a steam inlet pipe are provided above the partition 7. A steam inlet 11 is provided on the tower body 1, and the steam inlet 11 is connected to the steam ring pipe and the steam inlet pipe 8 respectively through pipes. The steam ring pipe is serpentine or spirally arranged below the phosphoric acid liquid level in the partition 7, and its outlet is connected to the steam recovery device.
[0019] During defluorination, fluorinated phosphoric acid enters the tower body 1 through the acid inlet 13, overflows from the topmost tray 2 through the downcomer 4 into the lower tray 2, and is temporarily stored on the partition 7. High-temperature steam indirectly heats the phosphoric acid through the steam loop. The steam inlet directly heats the phosphoric acid and then flows upward through the bubble cap 3 into the phosphoric acid on the tray 2, heating it there. This causes the fluorine to escape as a gas, achieving the defluorination goal. The purified phosphoric acid is temporarily stored on the partition 7, where steam heating further releases fluorinated gases. When the liquid level reaches a certain height, it overflows through the liquid seal tube 5 into the acid storage space below the partition 7, and is finally withdrawn from the acid outlet 14 to enter the next process step.
[0020] In order to prevent the gas in the stripping defluorination space above the partition 7 from entering the acid storage space below, and also to maintain the air pressure in the stripping defluorination space above the partition 7 stable, the liquid seal tube 5 includes an inner tube 51, which passes through the partition 7. The lower end of the inner tube 51 is sheathed with a sleeve 52 on the outside. The top of the sleeve 52 is open, and the bottom of the inner tube 51 is provided with an oblique opening 514. The outer wall of the sleeve 52 is fixed to the inner wall of the tower body 1. The inner tube 51 is higher than the partition 7, and the top of the sleeve 52 is below the partition 7. After defluorination, phosphoric acid enters the sleeve 52 from the inner tube 51 and overflows into the acid storage space below the partition 7. During this process, the gas above the partition 7 is difficult to enter, which effectively achieves the effect of maintaining the defluorination pressure stable and preventing the air pressure fluctuation from affecting the defluorination effect.
[0021] In order to control the liquid level on the tray, the distance between the downcomer 4 and the tray 2 is 120-180mm, and the distance between the lower end of the downcomer 4 and the next tray 2 is 50-80mm.
[0022] In order to facilitate the installation and cleaning of the downcomer, the middle part of the downcomer 4 is provided with a first external thread 41, and two first threaded rings 42 are installed on the first external thread 41, and the two first threaded rings 42 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the tray 2, and a first sealing gasket 43 is arranged between the two first threaded rings 42 and the tray 2, and the downcomer 4 is sealed and installed on the tray 2 through the two first threaded rings 42 and the first sealing gasket 43, and when cleaning is needed or when maintenance and replacement are needed, the downcomer 4 can also be quickly disassembled and assembled, which greatly improves the cleaning efficiency.
[0023] Similarly, in order to facilitate the installation of the inner tube of the liquid seal pipe, the middle part of the inner tube 51 is provided with a second external thread 511, and two second threaded rings 512 are installed on the second external thread 511, and the two second threaded rings 512 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the tray 2, and a second sealing gasket 513 is arranged between the two second threaded rings 512 and the tray 2.
