Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrochloric acid and ammonia production technology, specifically to a multi-stage water seal and absorption device for a hydrochloric acid storage tank. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrochloric acid is a strong inorganic acid widely used in the chemical industry. Its main sources are: 1) synthesis from hydrogen and chlorine; and 2) production through chemical reactions such as chlorination and acylation, which are generally byproducts. At high concentrations, hydrochloric acid is highly volatile. The evaporating hydrogen chloride combines with water vapor in the air to form small droplets of hydrochloric acid, creating acid mist. This not only pollutes the surrounding environment but also has a strong corrosive effect on equipment, steel platforms, instruments, and pipelines. However, in existing hydrochloric acid storage processes, the absorption pump continuously circulates the gas, creating negative pressure that causes hydrogen chloride to continuously evaporate from the storage tank. This dynamic release of hydrogen chloride tail gas results in high energy consumption, the use of large amounts of alkaline solution, and the high salt content in the absorption liquid, making it difficult to treat. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-stage water seal and absorption device for hydrochloric acid storage tanks, which has the advantage of low hydrochloric acid tail gas volatilization.

One side of the circulating pump body is connected to an absorbent outlet pipe and a circulating pipe via pipelines. One side of the circulating pipe is equipped with a spray head via a pipeline. Packing material is provided at the bottom of the packing pressure plate, and a packing support is provided at the lower end of the packing material. An overflow weir is provided at the lower end of the packing support, and a liquid seal baffle is provided at the upper end of the overflow weir.

A cooler is located above the refrigerant inlet. A breather valve interface, a tail gas inlet, and a liquid alkali inlet are connected to the upper end of the upper level gauge interface via pipelines.

[0015] This technical solution, through the above-mentioned technical approach, reduces the volatilization of hydrochloric acid gas and hydrogen chloride by using a multi-stage water seal design and creates a concentration gradient in the absorption liquid.

Example
[0016] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the air flow rate of the liquid seal tank 7 and the packing 22 is the maximum liquid inlet flow rate, which is 1.5 times the rated flow rate of the unloading pump. The gas flow rate of the liquid seal tank 7 and the packing 22 is 1 meter per second. There are four spray heads 13, one at each of the one-quarter and three-quarters diameters, distributed in a cross shape.
[0017] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Open the alkali feed valve, increase the liquid level to 100mm, then open the water inlet valve and add tap water to 1250mm, preparing an 8% alkali solution for absorption. Then, start the circulation pump body 16 to pump the absorption liquid into the liquid seal tank 7, filling the 4-stage liquid seal tank 7 with absorption liquid. After the liquid seal tank 7 is full, stop the circulation pump body 16, then open the tail gas inlet valve 2 to allow the tail gas to enter the multi-stage water seal and absorption device for liquid sealing of the hydrochloric acid storage tank tail gas. When the hydrochloric acid storage tank is in operation, unloading is performed. First, turn on the circulating pump body 16 to circulate the alkaline absorbent liquid and absorb the exhaust gas expelled from the hydrochloric acid storage tank during unloading. When the tank is unloaded, turn off the circulating pump body 16. When the pH meter detects a value of 8, transfer the absorbent liquid to environmental wastewater treatment or put it into a drum. The multi-stage water seal and absorption function device reabsorbs the liquid. The breather valve interface 1 is kept unobstructed with the pipeline of the storage circulation tank 6 during hydrochloric acid storage. When the hydrochloric acid storage tank is pumped to the workshop and the temperature drops, outside air enters the storage tank through the breather valve inlet.
