Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of chemical equipment, in particular to a mass transfer element for a vertical sieve tray column. BACKGROUND

[0002] In unit operations such as rectification, absorption and the like, the full contact of gas (vapor) and liquid is involved to achieve full mass transfer and heat transfer, and to achieve phase equilibrium as much as possible, so that the raw materials can be separated through multiple mass transfer and heat transfer processes to obtain the desired product index. The gas-liquid mass transfer element can realize the above functions, and is widely used in towers in the oil refining, petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental protection and other industries.

[0003] The tower for separation is generally divided into a packed column, a tray column, a composite column containing both packing and trays, and the like. The conventional tray column includes a bubble cap column, a float valve column and a sieve tray column, which belong to the bubble tray column. The bubble tray column has limited processing capacity. In order to solve the above defects, a new type of vertical sieve tray column New VST was developed by the Japan Shipbuilding Corporation in the 1960s. The processing capacity of the New VST is obviously improved compared with other tray columns. Since the New VST realizes the co-current jetting operation state of the local unit of the tray, the New VST has high mass transfer efficiency. The design idea of the tray structure developing in space has also been affirmed by the chemical engineering field. In the early 1980s, some colleges and research institutions in China carried out detailed research on the structure and performance of the mass transfer unit on the tray of the New VST, and on this basis, a series of trays with new unit structures were successively proposed. However, the inherent defects of the New VST have not been well solved, and the performance of the tray has not been greatly improved.

[0004] The application aims to solve the problems of the above tray. After searching, no relevant patent documents have been found. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
