TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of gas treatment, in particular to a flue gas treatment system for flake caustic soda production. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the drying (pyrolysis) stage of the flake caustic soda production process, a large amount of hot flue gas is generated, and the main components of the flue gas are high-temperature gas and dust. The heat in the flue gas is mostly recovered by heat exchange. The heat exchange mode using air as the heat exchange medium has the problem of low heat exchange efficiency. The heat exchange mode using water as the heat exchange medium produces high-temperature and high-pressure steam, and the dust is also dissolved in the steam. The recovery and treatment steps of the high-temperature steam are many, and the high-temperature steam also has certain corrosiveness.
[0003] It also needs to be considered that the current heating starts to use molten salt as a heat transfer medium. The molten salt can provide higher temperature and shorten the drying (pyrolysis) time, but it also further increases the temperature of the hot flue gas. SUMMARY
[0004] The application provides a flue gas treatment system for flake caustic soda production. The flowing molten salt is used as the heat exchange medium. The molten salt can absorb and store the heat in the hot flue gas, and can also intercept the dust in the hot flue gas to a certain extent. The hot flue gas can be cooled and dedusted at the same time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The technical solutions in the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0028] The application discloses a flue gas treatment system for flake caustic soda production. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some examples, the flue gas treatment system for flake caustic soda production disclosed by the application comprises a shell 1, a hollow rotating shaft 2, a hollow stirring paddle 3, and a driver 6.
[0029] The shell 1 is provided with an exhaust end 11, a feeding end 12 and a discharge end 13. The exhaust end 11 is used to discharge the flue gas inside the shell 1 after temperature reduction treatment. The feeding end 12 is used to inject molten salt into the shell 1. The discharge end 13 is used to guide the molten salt out of the shell 1.
[0030] The hollow rotating shaft 2 is rotationally connected with the shell 1. The first end of the hollow rotating shaft 2 is an open end, and the second end of the hollow rotating shaft 2 is a closed end. The hollow stirring paddles 3 are arranged on the hollow rotating shaft 2 at intervals. The cavities in the hollow stirring paddles 3 are in communication with the cavity in the hollow rotating shaft 2. After the high-temperature flue gas enters the hollow rotating shaft 2, it will re-enter the hollow stirring paddles 3, and then be discharged through the exhaust holes on the hollow stirring paddles 3.
[0031] The driver 6 is connected with the hollow rotating shaft 2. The driver 6 is used to drive the rotation of the hollow rotating shaft 2 and the hollow stirring paddles 3. In some possible implementation manners, the driver 6 uses an electric motor. The driver 6 and the hollow rotating shaft 2 are connected in a belt drive mode.
[0032] The molten salt particles 5 are filled in the shell 1. After the high-temperature flue gas discharged from the exhaust hole 4 is in contact with the molten salt particles 5, heat exchange is performed. At this time, the temperature of the high-temperature flue gas is reduced, and the high-temperature flue gas is converted into low-temperature flue gas. The temperature of the molten salt particles 5 rises.
[0033] In the above process, the dust in the high-temperature flue gas, mainly sodium hydroxide powder, also stays in the molten salt particles 5. The low-temperature flue gas flows out of the exhaust end 11. The molten salt particles 5 flow circularly through the feeding end 12 and the discharge end 13. After the molten salt particles 5 are transferred to the outside of the shell 1, they are subjected to temperature reduction treatment and separation treatment. The purpose of the separation treatment is to remove the sodium hydroxide powder in the molten salt particles 5.
[0034] In some examples, a pre-cyclone dust collector 7 is also added, and the gas output end of the pre-cyclone dust collector 7 is connected with the first end of the hollow rotating shaft 2. The purpose of the pre-cyclone dust collector 7 is to remove the large-particle-size sodium hydroxide powder in the high-temperature flue gas, so as to avoid that the large-particle-size sodium hydroxide powder cannot be removed when the molten salt particles 5 are separated and treated.
[0035] In some examples, a post-cyclone dust collector 8 is added, and the input end of the post-cyclone dust collector 8 is connected with the exhaust end 11, which functions to remove the sodium hydroxide powder in the low-temperature flue gas. Since the temperature of the low-temperature flue gas has been greatly reduced at this time, the post-cyclone dust collector 8 can use a bag dust collector.
[0036] In some examples, the width of the hollow stirring paddle 3 tends to increase in the direction opposite to the rotating direction of the hollow rotating shaft 2, so as to reduce the resistance received by the hollow stirring paddle 3 when rotating.
[0037] Meanwhile, please refer to Figure 3 ( Figure 3 The dashed line at the exhaust hole 4 indicates that the exhaust hole 4 is obliquely arranged. The first end of the exhaust hole 4 is in communication with the cavity inside the hollow stirring paddle 3, and the second end of the exhaust hole 4 is obliquely arranged in the direction away from the rotating direction of the hollow rotating shaft 2, so as to avoid that the molten salt particles 5 enter the inside of the hollow stirring paddle 3.
[0038] In some examples, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A centrifugal separator 9 is also added, and the input end of the centrifugal separator 9 is connected with the discharge end 13, and the output end is connected with the feeding end 12, which functions to separate the molten salt particles 5 and the sodium hydroxide powder mixed in the molten salt particles 5.
[0039] The centrifugal separator 9 includes three parts, which are a positive pressure blower 91, a positive pressure accelerator 92 and a cyclone separator 93, which are sequentially connected. The heavy material output end of the cyclone separator 93 is connected with the feeding end 12, and the light material output end of the cyclone separator 93 can be directly connected with the post-cyclone dust collector 8.
[0040] The positive pressure accelerator 92 is composed of an air compressor and an air tank, which functions to inject high-pressure air into the pipeline, so as to further increase the flow speed of the molten salt particles 5.
[0041] The embodiments of the specific implementation are the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
