Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the waste heat utilization technical field of ammonia still, specifically relates to an energy-saving device of atmospheric ammonia still. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the coking production process, part of the ammonia water cooled from the coke oven gas is sprayed to cool the coke oven gas and smokeless coal charging in the coke oven gas collector, and the excess part is sent to the ammonia still as residual ammonia water. After recovering ammonia vapor by steam, the ammonia still wastewater is sent to the phenol cyanide wastewater treatment station for treatment. In the atmospheric ammonia still process, about 80 kg / t of low-pressure steam is consumed for heating, and the 90-95℃ ammonia vapor generated after the residual ammonia water is still is directly introduced into the pre-cooling tower of the desulfurization system, or is cooled by cooling water to produce concentrated ammonia water and then sent to the desulfurization reaction tank as an alkali source. The ammonia still wastewater discharged from the bottom of the still is first heated to 85℃ by exchanging heat with the residual ammonia water, and then cooled to below 35℃ by cooling water before being sent out of the device. In this ammonia still process, the heat energy in the ammonia vapor and the ammonia still wastewater is not recovered and utilized, resulting in energy waste and high operating cost of the ammonia still device.

[0003] Prior art one: Chinese patent CN 117327514 A discloses a method for recovering waste heat from ammonia still, which uses the ammonia vapor from the ammonia still to heat the ammonium sulfate mother liquor, thereby recovering part of the heat energy of the ammonia vapor and reducing the steam consumption of the ammonium sulfate device, but it does not reduce the steam consumption of the ammonia still device itself.

This system recovers the waste heat from the ammonia still wastewater, generates steam (or hot water) by the heat pump as the driving heat source of the refrigeration machine, and reduces energy consumption.

[0006] The prior art two has the following technical defects: the technical scheme recovers only 30%-40% of the total ammonia distillation waste heat as heat for production by using the waste heat of the ammonia distillation waste water, has low heat utilization rate, poor energy-saving effect, large investment in the heat pump device, and long investment cost recovery period.
