Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of exhaust gas treatment technology, and in particular to a device for eliminating CO by plasma catalysis. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial exhaust and the emissions from explosion-proof mining vehicles are rich in carbon monoxide (CO), posing a significant threat to the ecological environment. CO, a driver of the greenhouse effect, accelerates global warming; it is also a core component of photochemical smog, exacerbating urban air pollution; furthermore, high concentrations of CO in enclosed environments pose a hidden explosion hazard. Given its severe impacts, reducing emissions and implementing CO conversion are of paramount importance.

[0003] Traditional water-washing purification methods, while aiming to remove exhaust gases, are heavily criticized for their cumbersome flame arrestor design, inconvenient cleaning, high water consumption, and secondary pollution. To address these technical issues, those skilled in the art have proposed introducing a combined DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst) and DPF (diesel particulate filter) device. This combination, using a precious metal coating for reinforcement, attempts to overcome challenges in thermal stability and mechanical strength, ensuring synergistic action with the catalytic components. However, this combined device not only requires additional catalyst but also suffers from DOC clogging during use, leading to a decline in the overall device's CO conversion and removal efficiency, thus limiting its lifespan and making it difficult to meet the CO removal requirements of large-volume exhaust gases. Furthermore, the complex structure and difficult disassembly of this combined device result in high maintenance difficulty, hindering its large-scale application. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a device for plasma catalytic elimination of CO.

[0005] The present invention discloses a plasma catalytic CO removal device through the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention provides a device for plasma catalytic removal of CO, comprising a pretreatment unit, an removal unit, and several corona discharge conversion units.

[0007] In this invention, the pretreatment unit is used to remove impurities from the exhaust gas to be treated, so as to prevent impurities in the exhaust gas from clogging the subsequent elimination unit, thereby improving the service life of the elimination unit.

[0008] In this invention, the elimination unit includes a stainless steel shell, a multi-layered metal block for gas equalization and cooling, and a metal block for gas equalization.

[0009] The stainless steel outer shell has a hollow structure inside, and an air inlet pipe is provided at the air inlet end of the stainless steel outer shell. The air inlet end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the air outlet end of the pretreatment unit to receive the exhaust gas after pretreatment by the pretreatment unit, and allow it to enter the stainless steel outer shell through the air inlet pipe for subsequent CO removal treatment.

[0010] The stainless steel casing is equipped with an exhaust pipe at its outlet end, which is used to discharge the gas after CO removal.

[0011] The gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal block is disposed at the outlet end of the air inlet pipe to uniformly distribute and cool the gas transported through the air inlet pipe. The gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal block is also connected to an external power source as an input electrode.

[0012] The gas equalization metal block is disposed at the gas outlet end of the stainless steel shell, and the gas outlet end of the gas equalization metal block is connected to the gas inlet end of the gas outlet pipe.

[0013] It should also be noted that, in this utility model, several of the aforementioned corona discharge conversion units are arranged sequentially in parallel and without contact with each other between the gas flow equalization and cooling multilayer metal block and the gas flow equalization metal block.

[0014] Each of the aforementioned corona discharge conversion units includes an insulating ceramic hollow tube, a hollow metal needle, and a foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode.

[0015] The insulating ceramic hollow tube is arranged parallel to the gas conveying direction to increase the gas flow rate of the exhaust gas entering the insulating ceramic hollow tube.

[0016] The hollow metal needle is located inside the insulating ceramic hollow tube and is coaxially arranged with the insulating ceramic hollow tube; the tip of the hollow metal needle points to the gas outlet end of the insulating ceramic hollow tube, and the tail of the hollow metal needle is connected to the gas outlet end of the gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal block; the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode is arranged at the gas outlet end of the insulating ceramic hollow tube, and the gas outlet end of the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode is connected to the gas inlet end of the gas equalization metal block. With the above configuration, the gas, which has been uniformly diverted and cooled by the gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal block, can be transported from the tail of the hollow metal needle to the tip of the hollow metal needle, and then ejected from the tip of the hollow metal needle, forming a gas column between the tip and the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode. Since the hollow metal needle is made of conductive metal, the voltage applied by the external voltage can be transmitted to the hollow metal needle through the gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal block, thereby forming a corona discharge region between the tip of the hollow metal needle and the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode. This results in the generation of high-density active particles in the gas column formed between the tip and the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode, thereby achieving efficient elimination of CO in the gas column through the generated high-density active particles.

[0017] It should also be emphasized that those skilled in the art should know that the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode possesses the porous structure characteristics of a typical foamed metal electrode. This allows the gas, after being uniformly distributed and cooled by the multi-layered metal block, to form a gas column between the needle tip and the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode. Simultaneously, a portion of this gas forms tiny gas columns within the porous structure of the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode, creating numerous micron-sized localized corona discharge regions. Furthermore, the irregular pore structure of the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode results in numerous electric field concentration points with localized field strengths reaching 10⁻⁶. 5 V / m~10 6 The V / m ratio facilitates the generation of corona discharge over a large area and at high power. Furthermore, the copper and nickel in the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode exhibit a certain adsorption capacity for CO. Combined with plasma discharge, this promotes the decomposition and transformation of CO. The microporous structure and stepped surface microstructure increase the gas-solid interface area, expand the catalytic area, and enhance the catalytic effect. In the discharge region, a large number of gas molecules are activated, generating electronically excited states and molecular ions. The lifetimes of these substances are mostly on the millimeter scale. Some active particles that do not undergo transformation in the discharge region will enter the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode region with the gas flow and undergo a second adsorption and transformation on the metal surface.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the external power supply is a high-frequency voltage power supply, wherein the high-frequency voltage is a kHz AC source, a repetitive microsecond pulse source, or a kHz modulated voltage with a voltage amplitude in the kV range. The frequency of the kHz AC source is 10kHz to 30kHz. The frequency of the repetitive microsecond pulse source is 10kHz to 500kHz.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the gas flow equalization and cooling multilayer metal block is composed of several first metal plates, which are arranged in parallel with each other, and each first metal plate abuts against the first metal plates on both sides; and the height of the several first metal plates increases along the gas conveying direction, thereby realizing the gradual and uniform distribution and diversion of the exhaust gas.

[0020] Each of the first metal plates has several cooling water delivery channels inside, which extend along the height of the first metal plate. Each of the first metal plates has several first gas through-holes in its center, forming several first gas channels. Each first gas channel corresponds to one of the hollow metal needles, communicating with the tail of the corresponding hollow metal needle. The first gas channels are arranged parallel to the gas delivery direction, and the cooling water delivery channels are arranged perpendicular to the gas delivery direction. The first metal plate also has electrical terminals for connecting to an external power source. Through the above-described configuration, the exhaust gas output from the intake pipe first enters the first gas passage on the first metal plate closest to the intake end of the stainless steel shell and then exits through the first gas passage on the first metal plate furthest from the intake end of the stainless steel shell. During operation, a water supply pipe is connected to the inlet of each cooling water supply channel to supply cooling water, thereby enabling the exhaust gas to fully exchange heat with the cooling water in the cooling water supply channel, thus achieving sufficient cooling of the exhaust gas. This allows the exhaust gas to be evenly distributed and cooled before entering the hollow metal needle.

[0021] Considering that the diameter of the cooling water delivery channel affects the liquid flow rate, in a preferred embodiment of this invention, the diameter of the cooling water delivery channel is 2.5mm to 3.5mm to ensure a larger flow rate while avoiding excessive water pressure in the cooling water delivery channel.

[0022] Considering that a metal plate that is too thick would be too heavy, but must be larger than the diameter of the water pipe, in a preferred embodiment of this invention, the thickness of the first metal plate is 4.5mm to 5.5mm.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the electrical terminal is 0.8mm to 1.2mm.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the gas equalization metal block is composed of several second metal plates arranged in parallel, with each second metal plate abutting against its adjacent second metal plates on both sides. The height of the several second metal plates decreases along the gas delivery direction. Each second metal plate has a second gas through-hole, forming several second gas channels. Each second gas channel corresponds to one of the several insulating ceramic hollow tubes, communicating with the outlet end of the corresponding insulating ceramic hollow tube. The direction of the second gas channels is parallel to the gas delivery direction. Through this arrangement, the exhaust gas output from the insulating ceramic hollow tube first enters the second gas through-hole on the second metal plate closest to the outlet end of the insulating ceramic hollow tube and then exits through the second gas through-hole on the second metal plate furthest from the outlet end of the insulating ceramic hollow tube. This achieves the merging of exhaust gases processed by different corona discharge conversion units before output from the outlet end of the stainless steel shell.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pretreatment unit includes a pretreatment unit housing and a microporous ceramic block disposed within the pretreatment unit housing.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an insulating fixing layer is further provided on the inner wall of the stainless steel shell; and the insulating fixing layer is fixedly connected to the edge of the gas flow equalization and cooling multilayer metal block and the gas flow equalization metal block.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner diameter of the insulating ceramic hollow tube is 30mm to 50mm, the outer diameter is 40mm to 60mm, and the length is 100mm to 200mm.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the hollow metal needle is a hollow copper needle; the length of the hollow copper needle is 30mm to 50mm, the diameter at the tail of the hollow copper needle is 3mm to 6mm, and the diameter at the tip of the needle is 1mm to 2mm.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode has a cylindrical structure with a diameter of 30mm to 50mm and a length of 20mm to 30mm; and the pore size of the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode is 1μm to 100μm.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pretreatment unit is connected to the intake pipe via an intake flange, and the intake flange is provided with a first fixed sealing hole; the intake flange, the first fixed sealing hole and the exhaust turbine port are tightly connected to ensure airtightness and prevent CO leakage.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outlet end of the air outlet pipe is provided with an outlet flange, and the outlet flange is provided with a second fixed sealing hole; the outlet flange and the second fixed sealing hole are tightly connected to the exhaust turbine port.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] This invention relates to a plasma catalytic CO removal device, comprising a pretreatment unit, an elimination unit, and several corona discharge conversion units. The pretreatment unit is positioned at the front end of the elimination unit to remove impurities from the exhaust gas, preventing clogging of the subsequent elimination units. The elimination unit comprises a stainless steel shell, and gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal blocks and a gas equalization metal block respectively disposed at the inlet and outlet ends of the stainless steel shell. Several corona discharge conversion units are arranged in parallel between the gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal blocks and the gas equalization metal block, allowing the exhaust gas, after pretreatment by the pretreatment unit, to be uniformly diverted and cooled by the gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal blocks. The diverted exhaust gas then enters the corresponding corona discharge conversion unit, where corona discharge conversion removes CO from the exhaust gas. The CO-removed gases from the different corona discharge conversion units then recombine under the action of the gas equalization metal blocks and are discharged together, thus achieving CO removal from the exhaust gas.

[0034] Each corona discharge conversion unit in this invention includes an insulating ceramic hollow tube, a hollow metal needle, and a foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode. The insulating ceramic hollow tube is arranged parallel to the gas delivery direction to increase the gas flow rate entering the tube. The hollow metal needle is located inside the insulating ceramic hollow tube and is coaxially arranged with it; the tip of the needle points to the outlet end of the insulating ceramic hollow tube, and the tail of the needle communicates with the outlet end of the gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal block. The foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode is located at the outlet end of the insulating ceramic hollow tube, and its outlet end communicates with the inlet end of the gas equalization metal block. With the above configuration, the gas, which has been uniformly diverted and cooled by the gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal block, can be transported from the tail of the hollow metal needle to the tip of the hollow metal needle, and then ejected from the tip of the hollow metal needle, forming a gas column between the tip and the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode. Since the hollow metal needle is made of conductive metal, the voltage applied by the external voltage can be transmitted to the hollow metal needle through the gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal block, thereby forming a corona discharge region between the tip of the hollow metal needle and the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode. This results in the generation of high-density active particles in the gas column formed between the tip and the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode, thereby achieving efficient elimination of CO in the gas column through the generated high-density active particles.

[0035] The copper-nickel alloy foam electrode used in this invention possesses the porous structure characteristics of a typical foam metal electrode. This allows the gas, after being uniformly distributed and cooled by the multi-layered metal block, to form a gas column between the needle tip and the copper-nickel alloy foam electrode. Simultaneously, a portion of the gas forms tiny gas columns within the porous structure of the copper-nickel alloy foam electrode, creating numerous micron-sized corona discharge localized regions. Furthermore, the irregular pore structure of the copper-nickel alloy foam electrode results in numerous electric field concentration points with localized field strengths reaching 10⁻⁶. 5 V / m~10 6 The V / m ratio facilitates the generation of corona discharge over a large area and at high power. Furthermore, the copper and nickel in the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode exhibit a certain adsorption capacity for CO. Combined with plasma discharge, this promotes the decomposition and transformation of CO. The microporous structure and stepped surface microstructure increase the gas-solid interface area, expand the catalytic area, and enhance the catalytic effect. In the discharge region, a large number of gas molecules are activated, generating electronically excited states and molecular ions. The lifetimes of these substances are mostly on the millimeter scale. Some active particles that do not undergo transformation in the discharge region will enter the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode region with the gas flow and undergo a second adsorption and transformation on the metal surface.

[0036] The device of this invention has a simple structure and can achieve vigorous corona discharge at room temperature and pressure without the need for additional catalysts, thereby meeting the CO removal requirements of large-flow exhaust gases. Furthermore, the number of corona discharge conversion units can be increased or decreased according to actual requirements, making it easy to disassemble, maintain, and maintain. It has a long service life, does not require expensive temperature control equipment, and is easily scalable. Attached Figure Description

Each first metal plate 2021 abuts against the first metal plates 2021 on both sides. The height of the several first metal plates 2021 increases along the gas conveying direction, thereby realizing the gradual and uniform distribution and diversion of the exhaust gas.

[0050] Each of the first metal plates 2021 includes a first metal plate 2021; the first metal plate 2021 has a plurality of cooling water conveying channels 2022 inside, and the plurality of cooling water conveying channels 2022 are arranged through the height direction of the first metal plate 2021; the first metal plate 2021 has a plurality of first gas through holes 2023 in the middle, and the plurality of gas through holes on the plurality of first metal plates 2021 form a plurality of first gas channels; the plurality of first gas channels correspond one-to-one with the plurality of hollow metal needles 302, and are used to communicate with the needle tail of the corresponding hollow metal needle 302.

[0052] Please see Figure 2 The first metal plate 2021 is also provided with a power terminal 6, which is used to connect to an external power source as an input electrode.

[0053] In this embodiment, the exhaust gas output from the intake pipe 4 first enters the first gas passage 2023 on the first metal plate 2021 closest to the intake end of the stainless steel shell 201 and enters the first gas channel. Then, it is discharged from the first gas passage 2023 on the first metal plate 2021 furthest from the intake end of the stainless steel shell 201. During operation, a water supply pipe is connected to the inlet of each cooling water supply channel 2022 to supply cooling water. This allows the exhaust gas to fully exchange heat with the cooling water in the cooling water supply channel 2022, thereby fully cooling the exhaust gas. This achieves uniform diversion and cooling of the exhaust gas before it enters the hollow metal needle 302.

Since the hollow metal needle 302 is a hollow metal needle made of conductive metal, when an external voltage is applied, the voltage can be transmitted to the hollow metal needle 302 through the gas equalization and cooling multilayer metal block 202, thereby forming a corona discharge region between the tip of the hollow metal needle 302 and the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode 303. This results in the generation of high-density active particles in the gas column formed between the tip and the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode 303, thereby achieving efficient elimination of CO in the gas column through the generated high-density active particles.

This allows the gas, after being uniformly diverted and cooled by the multi-layered metal block 202, to form a gas column between the needle tip and the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode 303. Simultaneously, a portion of this gas forms tiny gas columns within the porous structure of the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode 303, creating numerous micron-sized corona discharge local regions. Furthermore, the irregular pore structure of the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode 303 results in numerous electric field concentration points with localized field strengths reaching 10. 5~6 The V / m ratio facilitates the generation of corona discharge over a large area with high power. Furthermore, the copper and nickel in the foamed copper-nickel alloy electrode 303 exhibit a certain adsorption capacity for CO. Combined with plasma discharge, this promotes the decomposition and conversion of CO. The microporous structure and stepped surface microstructure are beneficial for increasing the gas-solid interface area, expanding the catalytic area, and enhancing the catalytic effect. In the discharge region, a large number of gas molecules are activated, generating electronically excited states and molecular ions.
