[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments of this application and the accompanying drawings.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, a VOCs waste gas treatment system includes: a waste gas box 1, an adsorption box 2, a transfer box 3, a steam generator 7, and a condensation assembly 10.
[0039] The side wall of the exhaust gas box 1 is provided with a plurality of first air inlets 101, and the exhaust gas box 1 is connected to the adsorption box 2 through the first conveying pipe 4.
[0040] The adsorption box 2 is connected to the transfer box 3 through the second conveying pipe 6, and the transfer box 3 is connected to the first conveying pipe 4 through the return pipe 13;
[0041] The steam generator 7 is connected to the adsorption box 2 via the third delivery pipe 8;
[0042] The condensation assembly 10 is connected to the adsorption box 2 via the fourth delivery pipe 9;
[0043] Control valves are provided at both ends of the first conveying pipe 4, the second conveying pipe 6, the third conveying pipe 8, and the fourth conveying pipe 9, as well as at the end of the return pipe 13 that mates with the transfer box 3;
[0044] Several adsorption plates 201 are alternately arranged on the two opposite side walls of the adsorption box 2, and the adsorption plates 201 are inclined downward.
[0045] The aforementioned VOCs waste gas treatment system, through the coordinated operation of its components, achieves a series of processes including VOCs adsorption, desorption, and recycling, efficiently removing VOCs from waste gas and reducing their emission concentration into the atmosphere. The alternating, downward-sloping adsorption plates 201 within the adsorption chamber 2 ensure a relatively stable flow of waste gas within the chamber. The uniform and tortuous airflow path avoids localized excessively fast or slow airflow, guaranteeing uniform contact between the waste gas and each adsorption plate 201, making the adsorption process more stable. This helps maintain consistent adsorption efficiency and reduces fluctuations in adsorption effect caused by uneven airflow distribution.
[0046] Steam generator 7 is connected to adsorption tank 2 via third conveying pipe 8, and condensation assembly 10 is connected to adsorption tank 2 via fourth conveying pipe 9. Steam generated by steam generator 7 can be introduced into adsorption tank 2 to desorb VOCs adsorbed on adsorption plate 201. The desorbed VOCs vapor enters condensation assembly 10 via fourth conveying pipe 9, where it is cooled and condensed into a liquid state, thus achieving VOCs recovery and separation. This method, combining steam desorption and condensation recovery, not only allows adsorption plate 201 to be regenerated and reused, reducing operating costs, but also effectively recovers and utilizes VOCs, reducing resource waste and environmental pollution.
[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the adsorption plate 201 includes an activated carbon plate 2011 and a heating plate 2012. The activated carbon plate 2011 is spaced above the heating plate 2012. The heating plate 2012 is corrugated and has several through holes.
[0048] The heating plate 2012 and activated carbon plate 2011 are set separately, avoiding direct damage to the activated carbon plate 2011 from high temperatures during heating. The layered structure of this system allows the activated carbon plate 2011 to desorb at a relatively mild temperature, reducing structural damage caused by high temperatures, thus extending the service life of the activated carbon plate and lowering replacement costs. Compared to a flat heating plate, the corrugated heating plate 2012 has a significantly increased surface area, thereby transferring heat to the activated carbon plate 2011 more efficiently.
[0049] The presence of through holes allows the exhaust gas to flow more smoothly within the adsorption box. During the adsorption process, the exhaust gas can pass through the heating plate 2012 through the through holes and fully contact the activated carbon plate 2011, increasing the contact opportunities between the exhaust gas and the activated carbon plate 2011 and improving the adsorption effect.
[0050] like Figure 1As shown, an air pump 5 is installed on the first conveying pipe 4, and a balance valve 12 is installed at the lower part of the exhaust gas box 1. The balance valve 12 is used to adjust the air pressure inside the exhaust gas box 1. The installation of the air pump 5 can effectively enhance the conveying power of the exhaust gas, and the installation of the balance valve 12 can prevent the exhaust gas box 1 from collapsing and being damaged due to excessively low air pressure inside the exhaust gas box 1 when the air pump 5 is working.
[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the balance valve 12 includes: a valve body 1201 fixedly connected to the exhaust gas box 1; a second air inlet 1202 is provided on the side of the valve body 1201 away from the exhaust gas box 1; a sealing ball 1203 for closing the second air inlet 1202 is provided in the inner cavity of the valve body 1201; a guide rod 1204 is provided on the side of the sealing ball 1203 away from the second air inlet 1202; the guide rod 1204 is slidably connected to the side wall of the valve body 1201 adjacent to the exhaust gas box 1; a return spring 1205 is sleeved on the guide rod 1204; the two ends of the return spring 1205 respectively cooperate with the sealing ball 1203 and the side wall of the valve body 1201; a plurality of air holes 1206 are opened on the side wall; the air holes 1206 communicate with the inner cavity of the exhaust gas box 1; and the exhaust gas box 1 is provided with a clearance hole for avoiding the guide rod 1204.
[0052] The working principle is based on the change in air pressure inside the exhaust gas chamber 1 to control the position of the sealing ball 1203, thereby opening and closing the second air inlet 1202 to balance the air pressure inside and outside the exhaust gas chamber. When the air pressure inside the exhaust gas chamber 1 is lower than the outside air pressure by a certain amount, the outside air pressure pushes the sealing ball 1203 to move and open the second air inlet 1202, allowing outside air to enter; when the air pressure returns to balance, the return spring 1205 causes the sealing ball 1203 to return to its original position and close the second air inlet 1202.
[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, a dust filter box 1207 is provided at the second air inlet 1202 of the balance valve 12. The dust filter box 1207 can prevent external impurities from entering the exhaust gas box 1.
[0054] In one specific embodiment, a VOCs concentration detection sensor is installed inside the transfer box 3, and an exhaust pipe with a control valve is installed on one side of the transfer box 3. Through the VOCs concentration detection sensor inside the transfer box 3, the entire system can dynamically monitor the VOCs concentration of the treated waste gas, thereby determining the adsorption efficiency of the adsorption box 2. Based on the adsorption efficiency of the adsorption box 2, the system decides whether to perform desorption treatment on the adsorption box 2, and can also reflux gases with high VOCs concentrations for secondary adsorption treatment.
[0055] like Figure 3As shown, the condensation assembly 10 includes: a low-temperature chamber 1001, a collection chamber 1002, and a condenser tube 1003. The low-temperature chamber 1001 is disposed on the upper part of the collection chamber 1002. The condenser tube 1003 is disposed in the inner cavity of the collection chamber 1002 and extends to the outside of the collection chamber 1002 to cooperate with the low-temperature chamber 1001. A drain port 1005 is provided at the lower part of the collection chamber 1002, and a control valve is provided at the drain port 1005.
[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, a fifth delivery pipe 1004 is provided on one side of the collection box 1002, and a control valve is provided on the fifth delivery pipe 1004. A VOCs concentration detection sensor 11 is provided in the inner cavity of the collection box 1002, and the VOCs concentration detection sensor 11 is adjacent to the air inlet of the fifth delivery pipe 1004.
[0057] By setting up the condensation component 10, the desorbed VOCs vapor can be easily condensed, thereby realizing the recovery and separation of VOCs.
[0058] In one specific embodiment, after the steam generator 7 first introduces high-temperature steam into the adsorption box 2, the humidity of the activated carbon plate 2011 will increase. Therefore, the steam generator 7 subsequently provides dry gas into the adsorption box 2, and the heating plate 2012 starts to work to dry the activated carbon plate 2011, so as to avoid the excessive humidity of the activated carbon plate 2011 from affecting its subsequent adsorption efficiency.
[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
