TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of waste gas treatment, specifically relates to a single stage absorption tower for removing formaldehyde in industrial waste gas by urea solution. BACKGROUND

[0002] Formaldehyde is a common industrial raw material, widely used in chemical industry, wood processing, textile, pharmaceutical and other industries. However, formaldehyde is also a toxic and harmful substance, which causes serious harm to human health and environment. A large amount of formaldehyde-containing waste gas is generated in the process of industrial production, which will cause serious pollution to the atmospheric environment if directly discharged, so it is necessary to effectively treat the formaldehyde in industrial waste gas. At present, the removal methods of formaldehyde in industrial waste gas mainly include the following several kinds: membrane absorption method, adsorption method, nanometer material catalysis, photocatalytic oxidation and biological method, etc. Although the existing technology can treat formaldehyde waste gas to some extent, there are still limitations, such as complex process, high investment cost, long cycle and low efficiency, etc., so it is difficult to popularize and promote in practical application.

[0003] Formaldehyde has good reactivity with phenol, melamine, urea and sodium sulfite in aqueous solution, so the aqueous solution of these substances can be used to absorb industrial formaldehyde waste gas, so as to achieve the purpose of removing formaldehyde. Among them, urea is a cheap and readily available chemical raw material, and its aqueous solution can react with formaldehyde to generate stable urea-formaldehyde resin, thereby reducing the content of formaldehyde in water. In addition, the generated urea-formaldehyde resin can also be recycled and utilized, realizing the resource utilization of formaldehyde gas. The urea method for removing formaldehyde has the following advantages: 1. fast reaction speed; 2. high removal efficiency; 3. low cost; 4. safe and environmentally friendly.

The utility model constructs a formaldehyde reaction bin, and the atomized urea absorbs formaldehyde, which can degrade the formaldehyde in indoor air and also filter the free dust and harmful gas in the air to some extent. The device can efficiently and quickly remove formaldehyde in the air, and has low use cost and is green and pollution-free. Although the above-mentioned patent can remove indoor formaldehyde, there is still no technology for treating formaldehyde in industrial waste gas based on urea solution at present.

[0005] Based on the limitations of the prior art and the advantages of urea absorption technology, it has important practical significance to adopt the technology of absorbing formaldehyde in industrial waste gas by urea. The technology not only can meet the increasingly strict environmental protection policy requirements, but also can reduce the cost of enterprises under the condition of ensuring the normal and stable operation of the factory, and promote the progress of industrial waste gas treatment technology.
