[0025] How to use this utility model:

[0026] Firstly, it needs to be clear that the system for removing the cations in the organic amine related to the utility model is mainly used for pre-concentrated freezing of the cations in the amine liquid, especially sodium ions, before the amine liquid is introduced into the system pipeline, heat exchanger and tower plate, so that the crystallization is precipitated, avoiding the crystallization caused by the direct entry of the amine liquid into the system pipeline, heat exchanger and tower plate, which will cause the blockage of the system pipeline, heat exchanger and tower plate and affect the normal use.

[0027] Secondly, open the valves at the inlet and outlet of the circulating water, start the freezer unit 200, and the cooling liquid flows through the freezer unit 200, and is discharged from the outlet of the freezer unit 200 to the inlet of the serpentine coil 104, and is discharged from the outlet of the serpentine coil 104 to the inlet of the freezer unit 200, thereby realizing the cooling and freezing of the amine liquid in the crystallization cooler 100, and the heat released by the amine liquid is taken away by the circulating water in the crystallization cooler 100. At the same time, the temperature of the crystallization cooler 100 is observed, and when the temperature in the cooler reaches the specified requirement value, the bottom liquid discharge valve of the crystallization cooler 100 is opened, and the frozen organic amine solvent is discharged into the centrifuge 300.

[0028] Finally, start the centrifuge 300, and the crystalline salt is separated from the organic amine solvent under the action of centrifugal force, and the solid-liquid separation is completed. The separated organic amine solvent is sent back to the system by the liquid transfer pump, and the separated crystalline salt is stored in the filter bag in the centrifuge 300.

[0029] After the crystallization is completed, the cover of the centrifuge 300 is opened, and the crystalline salt in the filter bag is transferred out for cleaning.

[0030] The above is a cycle period, and then the appropriate amount of organic amine solvent to be treated is introduced into the crystallization cooler 100, and the cycle operation is continued according to the above process.

[0031] The utility model can realize the crystallization precipitation operation of the cations in the organic amine liquid, especially sodium ions, before entering the system pipeline, heat exchanger and tower plate, by the cooling crystallizer and the freezer unit 200, avoiding the crystallization caused by the cations in the organic amine liquid without crystallization when entering the system pipeline, heat exchanger and tower plate to participate in the internal liquid circulation operation, which greatly reduces the failure frequency of the system pipeline, heat exchanger and tower plate, and improves the service life.
