Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electronic grade sulfuric acid production equipment, especially to a sulfur trioxide gas impurity removal device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sulfur trioxide is the main material in the industrial preparation of sulfuric acid process, and the concentration and purity of sulfur trioxide have a direct impact on the quality and yield of sulfuric acid, so the monitoring and control of sulfur trioxide are crucial in the entire production process.

[0003] In traditional industrial production, liquid sulfur trioxide is mainly prepared by heating fuming sulfuric acid. This process is mainly carried out in a fuming sulfuric acid evaporator, and the free sulfur trioxide is released by heating. A small amount of water may be brought in during the evaporation process, which will react with sulfur trioxide to generate acid mist. Since liquid is more likely to dissolve impurities such as iron ions and nickel ions, the content of impurities such as iron ions and nickel ions entrained in the acid mist is usually several tens of times that of sulfur trioxide gas. The presence of these impurities will reduce the purity and quality of the final product.

[0004] In the industrial process, there are usually two methods for removing impurities from sulfur trioxide gas. The first method is to use natural cooling process to remove impurities by extending the connecting pipeline between the fuming sulfuric acid evaporator and the subsequent equipment. During the pipeline transportation of sulfur trioxide gas, small droplets containing metal impurities will deposit in the pipeline under the action of gravity, and the waste liquid in the pipeline will be discharged by the staff on a regular basis. However, this method not only increases the demand for production space and improves the cost of pipeline maintenance and repair for operators, but also makes it difficult to ensure the effect of impurity removal.

[0005] The second method is to directly set the impurity removal equipment at the rear end of the fuming sulfuric acid evaporator. Although this method is more direct, the temperature of sulfur trioxide gas evaporated from the evaporator is usually as high as 120℃ or even higher, which makes the impurity removal equipment exposed to high temperature and acidic environment for a long time, shortens its service life and increases the equipment maintenance cost.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new device that can remove impurities from sulfur trioxide gas evaporated from the evaporator. Not only can it effectively remove impurities from sulfur trioxide gas, but also can ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment in high temperature environment, prolong the service life of the equipment, reduce the maintenance cost, and improve the efficiency and reliability of the entire production process. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0007] To solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the above shortcomings, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] The sulfur trioxide gas impurity removal device is arranged at the rear end of the oleum evaporator, and comprises a cooling device and a defoaming device, wherein the gas inlet pipeline of the cooling device is connected with the outlet of the oleum evaporator through an external pipeline, the gas outlet pipeline of the cooling device is connected with the feeding port of the defoaming device through a pipeline, and the discharging port of the defoaming device is connected with the subsequent equipment of the production line.

[0009] The main body of the cooling device is a tank body, and the tank body is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet at the top, respectively. In order to facilitate the connection with the oleum evaporator, a sulfur trioxide gas inlet pipeline and a gas outlet pipeline are arranged on the transverse direction of the tank body of the cooling device, respectively. The gas inlet pipeline is arranged close to the end of the oleum evaporator, and the gas outlet pipeline is arranged at the other end. A gas transmission plate with a jacket is arranged in the tank body, and the gas transmission plate is connected with the gas inlet pipeline and the gas outlet pipeline. Sulfur trioxide gas enters from the gas inlet pipeline and passes through the gas transmission plate. Air exchanges heat with sulfur trioxide gas outside the gas transmission plate.

[0010] Further, the air inlet is arranged close to the gas outlet pipeline, and the air outlet is arranged close to the gas inlet pipeline. In this way, the flowing direction of sulfur trioxide gas passing through the gas transmission plate is opposite to that of air outside the gas transmission plate, so that the temperature of sulfur trioxide gas at the gas outlet pipeline can be more accurately controlled, the temperature fluctuation at the gas outlet pipeline is reduced, and the safety of the system is improved.

[0011] Further, a fan is arranged at the air outlet, so as to facilitate the extraction of air used for heat exchange in the cooling device.

[0012] Further, the temperature of air sent from the air inlet is 40-45℃, and the temperature of air used for heat exchange should not be too low, so as to avoid the condensation of sulfur trioxide gas passing through the gas transmission plate and ensure that sulfur trioxide discharged from the gas outlet pipeline is still in gaseous form.

[0013] Further, the transmission plates between the gas inlet pipeline and the gas outlet pipeline can be arranged in various forms, such as a serpentine arrangement or a parallel arrangement.

[0014] The defoaming device comprises a shell, a filter screen and a distance rod. The shell is provided with a feeding port, a discharging port and a liquid discharge port on the outside. The filter screen is fixed in the shell and is fixed and positioned by the distance rod, so as to maintain the structural integrity and stability of the filter screen and realize effective gas-liquid separation.

[0015] Further, the filter screen is made of polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0016] Further, a plurality of grid structures are arranged between the filter screens, the filter screens are separated at intervals, and the interval of the grid structures is adjusted by the distance rods; the grid structures support the filter screens to prevent the filter screens from collapsing, and the filtering efficiency can be optimized by controlling the interval of the grid structures, thereby reducing the maintenance problems caused by excessive density or sparseness of the filter screens;

[0017] Further, the grid structure is a steel lining polytetrafluoroethylene grid material;

[0018] Further, the grid structure is a tile-shaped grid plate;

[0019] Further, the feed inlet is arranged at the bottom of one side of the skimming device shell, the discharge outlet is arranged at the top of the skimming device shell, and the bottom of the shell is provided with a liquid discharge port.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0021] 1. The sulfur trioxide gas impurity removal device is first configured with a cooling device at the rear end of the fuming sulfuric acid evaporator, can reduce the temperature of the sulfur trioxide gas to about 80 DEG C, then transports the cooled sulfur trioxide gas to the skimming device, removes the acid mist in the sulfur trioxide gas in the skimming device, reduces the metal impurities and moisture in the sulfur trioxide gas, and significantly improves the purity and quality of the sulfur trioxide, which not only improves the quality of the product, but also avoids the damage of the high-temperature acidic environment to the equipment by reducing the device, effectively prolongs the service life of the device.

[0022] 2. By arranging the air inlet on the cooling device closer to the gas outlet pipeline, the air transported into the cooling device is used to cool the sulfur trioxide gas entering the gas transmission plate in the form of countercurrent heat exchange, the whole heat exchange process maintains the maximum temperature difference, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency, and also helps to accurately control the temperature of the sulfur trioxide gas output from the gas outlet pipeline, ensuring the stability and controllability of the whole process.

[0023] 3. A fan is arranged at the air outlet of the cooling device to extract the air after heat exchange in the cooling device, the air after heat exchange can be recycled as hot air, and heat recovery is realized.

[0024] 4. The filter screen in the defoaming device is a polytetrafluoroethylene screen, which has good corrosion resistance, but is prone to collapse and other problems when exposed to a high-temperature environment above 100 DEG C for a long time. The smoke sulfuric acid evaporator is connected to the cooling device before the defoaming device to cool the sulfur trioxide gas, effectively prolonging the service life of the polytetrafluoroethylene screen, and further providing a technical solution using a grid structure. The grid structure has regular holes that allow the sulfur trioxide gas to pass through and fill the filter screen between adjacent grid structures, further improving the stability of the filter screen structure.

[0025] 5. The defoaming device is connected to the subsequent production line, so the effect of using the defoaming device to remove impurities from the sulfur trioxide gas is particularly important. The sulfur trioxide gas inlet is arranged at the bottom of one side of the defoaming device. This design is beneficial to the release of liquid droplets during the upward movement of the gas, allowing the liquid droplets to settle before reaching the top and being discharged separately through the liquid discharge port. This not only improves the heat exchange efficiency, but also prevents liquid accumulation, simplifies the cleaning and maintenance of the equipment, and ensures the efficient operation and long-term stability of the entire system.
