Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of flue gas condensation and purification equipment, specifically to a flue gas gradient treatment device for asphalt processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of recycled asphalt, high-temperature flue gas contains complex pollutants such as asphalt fumes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and volatile organic compounds, with a wide range of boiling points. Traditional condensation purification devices employ single-stage cooling or simple piping structures; however, existing devices are mostly integral cooling tanks with uniform internal temperature distribution, failing to create a gradient temperature field. This results in high-boiling-point pollutants not being fully condensed in the low-temperature zone, while low-boiling-point pollutants are not effectively captured in the high-temperature zone, leading to low overall purification efficiency. Furthermore, traditional single-pipe or planar serpentine piping designs result in short flue gas residence times and limited contact area between hot and cold fluids. In light of these shortcomings in asphalt flue gas condensation purification, this paper proposes a gradient treatment device for asphalt processing flue gas to address these issues.

[0025] The following description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the scope, application, or use of this disclosure. It should be understood that in all these figures, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts and features. The figures are merely schematic representations of the concept and principles of embodiments of this disclosure and do not necessarily show the specific dimensions and scale of each embodiment. Specific details or structures of embodiments of this disclosure may be exaggerated in particular portions of certain figures. The disclosures of various publications, patents, and published patent specifications cited herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0026] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 As shown, a gradient treatment device for asphalt processing flue gas consists of a condensation purification tank 1 and an industrial condenser 2. The condensation purification tank 1 achieves multi-stage condensation of the flue gas through internal segmented condensation pipes 3, while the industrial condenser 2 provides a cold source and precisely controls the temperature through a cold trap, ultimately achieving segmented purification of the asphalt flue gas and collection of condensate.

[0027] The tank body 11 is a cylindrical structure with end caps 12 bolted to both ends. A circular hole is opened in the center of each end cap for pipes to pass through. Support legs 13 are symmetrically welded to the bottom of the tank body 11 and reinforced with triangular ribs. A rubber sealing gasket is placed between the end caps 12 and the tank body 11 to prevent gas leakage. In the segmented condenser piping layout 3, the flue gas inlet pipe 31 and the flue gas outlet pipe 34 horizontally pass through the end caps 12 on the left and right sides of the tank body 11. Their ends branch and connect to 8-10 manifolds 32, which are arranged in a ring array with the main pipe axis as the base point. Two to three partition plates 33, preferably made of fiberglass, are fitted around the outer ring of each manifold 32. The partition plates 33 divide the inner cavity of the tank body 11 into 4-5 independent spaces, each space corresponding to a temperature control zone of a cold trap. The partition plates 33 are fitted over the manifolds 32 through through-holes filled with high-temperature resistant sealing rings to ensure spatial isolation. Furthermore, each manifold 32 contains 2-3 annular pipes 35 running axially through it. The annular pipes 35 are connected to the manifold 32, and a conical liquid collection pipe 36 is welded to the bottom. The liquid collection pipe 36 extends to the bottom of the tank 11 and passes through to connect to an external collection container. In addition, the annular pipe 35 adopts a spiral coil design to increase the condensation contact area, and refrigerant is introduced into it.

[0028] The industrial condenser 2 cools the refrigerant to the required condensation temperature via a refrigeration unit. Its outlet connects to 4-5 independent cold trap pipelines, each leading to a corresponding partitioned space within the tank 11. The cold traps are made of copper tubing and attached to the surface of the partition plate 33. Temperature control in different spaces is achieved by adjusting the refrigerant flow rate in each cold trap. The partition plate 33 is made of thick fiberglass board, providing both insulation and corrosion resistance. Its through-hole diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the manifold 32, and it is internally filled with silicone sealing rings. The cold traps within each space are arranged in an S-shape to improve heat exchange efficiency.

[0029] The working process of a flue gas gradient treatment device for asphalt processing is as follows:

[0030] High-temperature asphalt fumes are injected through the fumes inlet pipe 31 by an external induced draft fan. Eight to ten manifolds 32 at the end of the inlet pipe 31 are arranged in a ring array. Before entering the tank, the fumes are pre-cooled by the industrial condenser 2 to prevent direct impact of high temperatures on the condensation structure inside the tank. After entering different sections of the manifolds 32, the condensation temperature provided by the cold trap decreases in a gradient, achieving a gradient condensation effect and targeting pollutants with different boiling points through staged cooling. A polytetrafluoroethylene coating is sprayed onto the inner wall of the ring pipe 35 to prevent high-viscosity liquids from adhering and clogging at low temperatures. After the condensate forms a liquid film inside the ring pipe 35, it flows downwards along the pipe wall to the conical collection pipe 36, where it is accelerated for discharge by utilizing the slope. A U-shaped liquid seal is installed at the outlet of the collection pipe 36 to prevent backflow of external air; simultaneously, a rotary centrifuge is connected to the end of the collection pipe 36 to further separate small droplets entrained in the gas and liquid. The condensate is collected in an external storage tank. After being heated and stratified, the upper layer of light oil is reused, while the lower layer of heavy tar is sent for hazardous waste treatment. The gas output from the flue gas discharge pipe 34 enters the activated carbon adsorption tower. Finally, after the gas passes the online monitoring, it is discharged through the exhaust stack.

[0031] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
