Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of exhaust gas treatment technology, specifically relating to a sulfur-containing exhaust gas treatment device for carbon nanotube production. Background Technology
[0002] The production process of carbon nanotubes generates sulfur-containing tail gas, among which hydrogen sulfide gas is one of the main pollutants.
[0003] Traditional treatment devices typically use alkaline liquid neutralization to treat hydrogen sulfide gas. While this method can absorb hydrogen sulfide gas to some extent, it becomes ineffective once the alkaline liquid is saturated. This necessitates frequent replacement of the alkaline liquid, which not only increases treatment costs but also affects the continuity and efficiency of the treatment process.
[0004] To address this issue, a method of spraying alkaline liquid has emerged to neutralize hydrogen sulfide gas. However, while this method avoids the hassle of frequently replacing the alkaline liquid, the limited contact area and reaction time of the spray result in unsatisfactory neutralization effects. It still cannot completely and effectively remove hydrogen sulfide gas from the exhaust gas, which may cause environmental pollution and harm to human health.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to design a sulfur-containing tail gas treatment device for carbon nanotube production. Utility Model Content

[0018] Furthermore, the infusion assembly also includes: two inlet branch pipes connected to the second three-way valve and a one-way valve connected to the inlet branch pipes; wherein
[0019] The two inlet branch pipes respectively penetrate the side walls of the two reaction tanks;

[0032] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0033] (i) When the device is running, sulfur-containing tail gas is first introduced into a reaction tank through the main inlet pipe and the first three-way valve of the gas supply assembly, so that the sulfur-containing tail gas reacts with the alkaline solution to remove hydrogen sulfide from the tail gas. At the same time, the treated gas is discharged through the third three-way valve and the exhaust main pipe of the exhaust assembly for further treatment or directly discharged into the air. When the alkaline solution in the reaction tank reaches saturation, it is discharged through the valve and three-way pipe of the drain assembly, and new alkaline solution is added to the reaction tank through the second three-way valve and the inlet main pipe of the liquid supply assembly.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a sulfur-containing tail gas treatment device for carbon nanotube production, comprising:
[0049] Two symmetrically arranged reaction tanks 1, each containing an alkaline solution; a gas supply assembly 2, comprising: a first three-way valve 201 connected to both reaction tanks 1 and an inlet main pipe 202 connected to the first three-way valve 201; a liquid supply assembly 3, comprising: a second three-way valve 301 connected to both reaction tanks 1 and a liquid inlet main pipe 302 connected to the second three-way valve 301; an exhaust assembly 4, comprising: a third three-way valve 401 connected to both reaction tanks 1 and an exhaust main pipe 402 connected to the third three-way valve 401; and a drain assembly 5, comprising: valves 501 connected to the bottom of each reaction tank 1 and three-way pipes 502 connected to both valves 501; wherein, when either reaction tank 1 processes sulfur-containing tail gas, the first three-way valve 201 and the third three-way valve 401 are opened, allowing the inlet main pipe 202 and the exhaust main pipe 402 to connect with... The current reaction tank 1 is connected to allow the sulfur-containing tail gas to react with the alkaline solution in the current reaction tank 1, and other gases are discharged from the exhaust manifold 402; and when the alkaline solution in the other reaction tank 1 is saturated, valve 501 is opened to discharge the alkaline solution from the three-way pipe 502, then valve 501 is closed, and the second three-way valve 301 is opened to replenish the current reaction tank 1 through the liquid inlet manifold 302; wherein the alkaline solution is, but is not limited to, sodium hydroxide solution; wherein the first three-way valve 201, the second three-way valve 301, the third three-way valve 401 and valve 501 are, but are not limited to, solenoid valves or pneumatic valves, thereby achieving the effect of remote control or automatic switching; wherein the reaction tank 1 is equipped with a stirring device (not shown in the figure) to ensure that the alkaline solution and tail gas react fully.
[0050] In this embodiment, when the device is running, sulfur-containing tail gas is first introduced into a reaction tank 1 through the main inlet pipe 202 and the first three-way valve 201 of the gas supply assembly 2, so that the sulfur-containing tail gas reacts with the alkaline solution to remove hydrogen sulfide from the tail gas. At the same time, the treated gas is discharged through the third three-way valve 401 and the exhaust main pipe 402 of the exhaust assembly 4 for further processing or directly discharged into the air.

At the same time, since the exhaust gas has more sufficient contact with the alkaline solution, the amount of alkaline solution required may be reduced accordingly, thereby reducing the treatment cost.
[0052] The infusion assembly 3 further includes: two inlet branch pipes 303 connected to the second three-way valve 301 and a one-way valve 304 connected to the inlet branch pipes 303; wherein the two inlet branch pipes 303 respectively penetrate the side walls of the two reaction tanks 1; the one-way valve 304 is located inside the reaction tank 1; and the one-way valve 304 is located above the alkaline solution and does not come into contact with the alkaline solution; wherein by setting the one-way valve 304, the liquid or gas in the reaction tank 1 is prevented from flowing back into the inlet branch pipes 303 when the pressure changes, so as to maintain the stability and safety of the device.
[0053] The exhaust assembly 4 further includes: two exhaust branch pipes 403 connected to the third three-way valve 401; wherein the exhaust branch pipes 403 are connected to the reaction vessel 1; and the exhaust branch pipes 403 are located above the side of the reaction vessel 1.
