Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of phosphoric acid defluorination equipment, specifically relating to a device for deep defluorination of phosphoric acid. Background Technology

[0002] Phosphoric acid defluorination methods can be divided into wet phosphoric acid defluorination and purified phosphoric acid defluorination, depending on the phosphoric acid raw material. The former is mainly used to prepare feed-grade dicalcium phosphate, while the latter is mainly used to produce food-grade phosphoric acid. Both wet and purified phosphoric acid defluorination operate on the principle of stripping defluorination using hot air or superheated steam. Currently, the equipment used for industrial phosphoric acid stripping defluorination is the bubble cap tower. A bubble cap tower is a plate tower where liquid phosphoric acid flows continuously through a plate defluorination structure, while the gas phase enters the liquid phosphoric acid as a dispersed phase through bubbling for defluorination.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN214763403U discloses a bubble cap tower for wet-process phosphate residue acid defluorination. The bubble cap tower includes a hollow tower body with an outlet at the top. The tower body has multiple layers of trays from top to bottom, each tray has multiple bubble caps, and a downcomer is provided at the bottom of the tray. Adjacent trays are connected by the downcomer. An inlet pipe is provided above the top tray, and a baffle is provided below the bottom tray. An outlet pipe is provided on the baffle, and a steam inlet pipe is provided above the baffle. A bottom plate is inclined below the baffle, and an outlet is provided at the lowest point of the bottom plate.

[0004] The aforementioned bubble cap tower uses multiple layers of bubble-capped trays with a steam inlet pipe below each tray. Steam heats the sludge acid mixed with a defluorinating agent, keeping it in a boiling state within the tower. The escaping fluorine-containing gas is discharged through the outlet, effectively purifying the sludge acid and achieving continuous defluorination, facilitating industrial production. However, due to the high viscosity of phosphoric acid, its continuous flow through the trays for defluorination makes deep removal of fluorine impurities difficult, frequently resulting in fluctuations in the fluorine content of the product and substandard product quality. Furthermore, the bubble-cap method of dispersing the gas phase results in a small mass transfer interface and poor mass transfer, leading to low defluorination efficiency in the bubble cap tower.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a phosphoric acid defluorination device to solve the problems of insufficient defluorination depth and low efficiency of existing bubble cap towers. Utility Model Content

[0065] In order to ensure that the gas phase can pass through the liquid phase redistributor 210 more smoothly, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 or in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, at least two regularly distributed gas phase cylinders 212 are arranged on the first tray 211. The gas phase cylinders 212 can be regularly distributed on the first tray 211 in various ways, such as: equidistantly distributed side by side, arranged in a straight line, arranged in a triangle, arranged in a circular array, and the like; wherein the arrangement in a straight line is equivalent to the rectangular array distribution; the triangle arrangement refers to that multiple rows of gas phase cylinders 212 are arranged side by side, and any two adjacent rows of gas phase cylinders 212 are staggered with respect to each other, such as Figure 2 As shown.

The air inlet mechanism can uniformly and dispersedly deliver the gas phase such as hot air or superheated steam into the air inlet cavity section of the tower cavity through the gas phase distributor 620, so as to increase the mass transfer interface; the gas phase distributor 620 is usually made of corrosion-resistant material, and the main body is preferably made of stainless steel and the outer lining is preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene; the stainless steel used to make the main body of the gas phase distributor 620 is preferably 2205 or 904 stainless steel. In order to ensure the dispersion of the air outlet, the diameter of the air outlet hole 623 is preferably 1-2 mm.

[0076] For example, the air inlet branch pipe 622 is arranged in the axial direction of the air inlet main pipe 621. Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the air inlet main pipe 621 is arranged in the radial direction of the tower body 100; the air inlet branch pipe 622 is at least two and is arranged in the axial direction of the air inlet main pipe 621; the air inlet branch pipe 622 is perpendicular to the air inlet main pipe 621, and the length of the air inlet branch pipe 622 closer to the central axis of the tower body 100 is longer.

For example, the set discharge height range is 200-300 mm above the gas inlet mechanism, when the second liquid level monitor detects that the liquid level height in the gas inlet cavity section is lower than 200 mm above the gas inlet mechanism, it sends a signal to the liquid discharge pump 710 to reduce the output power, controls the liquid discharge pump 710 to reduce the output power to reduce the discharge flow, until the liquid level in the gas inlet cavity section returns to the set discharge height range; when the second liquid level monitor detects that the liquid level height in the gas inlet cavity section is higher than 300 mm above the gas inlet mechanism, it sends a signal to the liquid discharge pump 710 to increase the output power, controls the liquid discharge pump 710 to increase the output power to increase the discharge flow, until the liquid level in the gas inlet cavity section returns to the set discharge height range.

The cofferdam 520 is generally arranged close to the inner wall of the tower body 100, so that the volume of the defluorination zone 511 is greater than that of the overflow zone 512; the height of the cofferdam 520 can be determined according to the amount of phosphoric acid treated per unit time, the volume of the separated defluorination zone 511, and other factors, and is preferably 120-150 mm. A plurality of gas phase redistribution outlet holes 532 are generally formed on the gas phase redistribution device 530, which are used to make the gas phase enter the phosphoric acid in the defluorination zone in the form of smaller bubbles, and provide a larger mass transfer interface; the number and size of the gas phase redistribution device 530 can be set as needed; the gas phase redistribution device 530 can be made of various materials, and is preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene; on the same second tray 510, the upper end of the gas phase redistribution device 530 is generally lower than the upper end of the cofferdam 520, and at least the gas phase redistribution outlet hole 532 on the gas phase redistribution device 530 should be lower than the upper end of the cofferdam 520, so as to ensure that the gas phase can fully mass transfer with the liquid phase phosphoric acid flowing through the defluorination zone 511 after being blown out from the gas phase redistribution outlet hole 532. The downcomer 540 is mainly used to transfer the phosphoric acid in the plate type defluorination structure from the upper layer to the lower layer, and the downcomer 540 is generally made of corrosion-resistant materials, preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene or stainless steel lined with polytetrafluoroethylene, and further preferably 304 or 316L stainless steel as the base material.

[0082] In order to further improve the uniformity of gas phase dispersion, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, at least two regularly distributed gas phase redistributors 530 are arranged on the second tray 510.
