Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of impregnation equipment technology, specifically to an integrated impregnation, return, and drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The impregnation equipment used when impregnating a porous support with a catalyst active component in an impregnation solution has two main problems: first, uneven impregnation; and second, difficulty in removing and recovering excess impregnation solution from the porous support.

[0003] Specifically, regarding uneven impregnation, static impregnation easily leads to differences in the distribution of active components on the surface of the porous carrier and in the internal pores of the porous carrier, i.e., uneven loading of active components; especially for honeycomb carriers with larger mesh counts, the pores are smaller and air bubbles are more likely to exist in the pores, making it easier for the impregnation solution to fail to make uniform contact with the internal pores of the honeycomb carrier during static impregnation.

[0004] The issue of removing and recovering excess impregnation liquid from porous carriers mainly applies to monolithic honeycomb catalysts. Honeycomb carriers have abundant internal pores, and after impregnation, it is often necessary to purge the impregnation liquid inside the pores to prevent clogging. However, existing impregnation equipment lacks a purging function, making it difficult to remove and recover excess impregnation liquid. This not only leads to waste of impregnation liquid, but also makes the pores more prone to clogging after drying, seriously affecting the use of the catalyst.

[0005] In addition, the excess impregnation liquid on the porous carrier after impregnation is not easy to remove and recover, making it easy to get dusty during the transfer to the drying equipment, clogging the pores, and also easy to get impregnation liquid on the drying equipment, which requires cleaning of the drying equipment and may even cause corrosion.

[0006] In summary, there is a need to develop an integrated impregnation, liquid return, and drying device to solve the problems of uneven impregnation and difficulty in removing and recovering excess impregnation liquid from porous carriers in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0048] The operation process of the integrated impregnation, liquid return, and drying equipment is as follows:

[0049] First, the lifting and transfer component 3 drives the basket 4 to descend into the impregnation liquid in the impregnation tank 1.1. The ultrasonic device 1.2 ensures that the impregnation liquid is fully and uniformly adsorbed in the porous carrier channels within the basket 4. The impregnation liquid contains catalyst active components, and the active components are uniformly loaded onto the surface of the porous carrier and the inner wall of its channels through ultrasonic impregnation, thus avoiding the problem of uneven loading of active components on the surface of the porous carrier and the inner wall of its channels caused by static impregnation.

[0050] Secondly, after the porous carrier in the basket 4 has been impregnated, the lifting mechanism 2.6 drives the cover plate 2.3 to open the purge chamber 2.2, and the basket 4 is transferred to the purge chamber 2.2 by the lifting transfer assembly 3. Subsequently, the lifting mechanism 2.6 drives the cover plate 2.3 to close the purge chamber 2.2, and the excess impregnation liquid in the porous carrier pores is blown out by the combination of the purge fan 2.4, ventilation pipe 2.5, ventilation cavity 2.3.1.1 and multiple ventilation channels 2.3.1.2.

[0051] Then, the excess impregnation liquid is returned to the impregnation tank 1.1 through the liquid return mechanism;

[0052] Finally, the porous carrier is dried in the purge chamber 2.2 by a combination of purge fan 2.4 and heater 2.1.
