Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of ammonium bicarbonate production equipment, specifically relating to an equipment for producing ammonium bicarbonate from the tail gas of melamine co-production of ammonium nitrate. Background Technology

[0002] In chemical industrial production, the co-production of ammonium nitrate from melamine is an important process, which generates a large amount of neutralization tail gas. The main component of this tail gas is high-concentration carbon dioxide, which can reach approximately 95%, while the remainder is primarily nitrogen. This tail gas resource, due to its abundant carbon dioxide content, has significant potential for utilization. However, using this tail gas to produce ammonium bicarbonate in traditional processes faces numerous challenges.

[0003] In traditional processes, the direct introduction of high-concentration carbon dioxide tail gas into the carbonization tower for ammonium bicarbonate production often leads to severe scaling inside the tower. This scaling not only affects the normal operation of the equipment and reduces production efficiency but also increases maintenance costs. More seriously, scaling reduces the effective reaction area inside the carbonization tower, thereby impacting product quality and yield.

[0004] Furthermore, the carbon dioxide concentration in the exhaust gas emitted from the carbonization tower in traditional processes remains relatively high. This means that a significant amount of carbon dioxide resources are not being fully utilized but are being directly released into the atmosphere, resulting in resource waste and environmental pollution. Clearly, this runs counter to the principles of energy conservation, emission reduction, and green production.

[0005] Therefore, how to effectively utilize the carbon dioxide resources in the tail gas from the co-production of ammonium nitrate with melamine, while avoiding the scaling phenomenon in the carbonization tower, has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0007] The apparatus for producing ammonium bicarbonate from melamine co-production ammonium nitrate tail gas according to this utility model includes a tail gas treatment unit, a carbon dioxide compression and mixing unit, a carbonization reaction unit, a recovery, cleaning and recycling unit, and a product processing unit. The tail gas treatment unit is connected to the carbon dioxide compression and mixing unit, the carbon dioxide compression and mixing unit is connected to the carbonization reaction unit, the carbonization reaction unit is connected to the recovery, cleaning and recycling unit, and the carbonization reaction unit is connected to the product processing unit.

The crude product processed by the carbonization recovery tower enters a thickener for concentration, and then is sent to a centrifuge for solid-liquid separation to obtain the ammonium bicarbonate product.
