Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sample testing in power generation technology, and relates to a system for measuring the chloride ion content in urea used in power plants. Background Technology
[0002] With my country's increasing emphasis on environmental protection, flue gas desulfurization and denitrification processes in power plants have become a key focus for various power plants. Many power plants have successfully implemented urea-to-ammonia technology for denitrification retrofitting, using urea instead of liquid ammonia as the denitrification reducing agent. This not only reduces nitrogen oxide emissions but also improves the safety and stability of environmental protection equipment. Therefore, ensuring the quality of urea is crucial for the safe and stable operation of denitrification equipment. Chloride ion content is one of the important indicators for urea in power plants. Chloride ions are corrosive, and excessively high chloride ion content can cause corrosion and damage to production equipment, especially in high-pressure equipment used in urea production. Chloride ions easily lead to stress corrosion, pitting corrosion, and intergranular corrosion, seriously affecting the safe operation of the equipment. By detecting the chloride ion content in urea, potential corrosion problems can be detected and addressed in a timely manner, extending the service life of equipment and reducing maintenance costs. During urea production, excessively high chloride ion content will reduce the quality of urea products and may even cause products to fail to meet standards. As the users of urea, power plants can ensure that the quality of the urea they use meets production requirements by detecting the chloride ion content, thereby guaranteeing stable and efficient denitrification. Therefore, accurate measurement of chloride ion content in urea from power plants is crucial.

When the water sample turns light orange-red or light brick-red, the titration endpoint is reached.
[0041] refer to Figure 1 The specific working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0042] Take the urea sample to be tested and add it to the measuring reaction cup 1 through the sample addition hopper 4. Weigh the sample using the weighing sensor 9 and record the mass as m1. Perform a tare and zeroing operation before each weighing to ensure the accuracy of the sample weighing. Start the high-purity water pump 13 to add high-purity water to the measuring reaction cup 1. Control the amount of high-purity water added using the liquid level sensor 5 to ensure that the volume of the water sample in the measuring reaction cup 1 is 250mL. Slowly heat the water sample to boiling using the heater 8 and stir it using the stirrer 2. Measure the temperature of the water sample in the measuring reaction cup 1 using the temperature sensor 3. When the water sample temperature rises to 100℃, maintain heating for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, stop heating and wait for the water sample to cool to room temperature. Start the high-purity water pump 13 again to add high-purity water to the measuring reaction cup 1. Control the amount of high-purity water added using the liquid level sensor 5 to ensure that the volume of the water sample in the measuring reaction cup 1 is 250mL. Start the nitric acid solution metering pump 15 to add 5 mL of nitric acid solution to the measuring reaction vessel 1. Start the silver nitrate solution metering pump 17 to add 25 mL of silver nitrate solution to the measuring reaction vessel 1. Start the stirrer 2. After 5 minutes, start the dibutyl phthalate metering pump 19 to add 5 mL of dibutyl phthalate to the measuring reaction vessel 1. Start the ferric ammonium sulfate solution metering pump 21 to add 2 mL of ferric ammonium sulfate solution to the measuring reaction vessel 1. Start the ammonium thiocyanate solution pump 23 to titrate the remaining silver nitrate. Use the color sensor 6 to identify the color of the water sample. When the water sample turns light orange-red or light brick red, the titration endpoint is identified. Stop the ammonium thiocyanate solution pump 23 and record the volume of ammonium thiocyanate solution consumed at this time as V1. The measurement is complete. After the measurement is completed, open the drain valve 7 and the high-purity water pump 13 to clean the measuring reaction vessel 1.
[0043] Chloride ion content is expressed as a mass fraction w1, in %, and the chloride ion content w1 is:
[0044]
[0045] Wherein, V0 is the volume of ammonium thiocyanate consumed in 25 mL of silver nitrate solution, in milliliters (mL). This value has been calibrated before the system leaves the factory, and the set value has been set in the system. V1 is the volume of ammonium thiocyanate consumed when titrating the sample, in milliliters (mL); c is the concentration of the prepared ammonium thiocyanate solution, in mol / L; m1 is the mass of the sample taken, in grams (g); and 0.03545 is the millimolecular mass of chloride ions, in grams per millimole (g / mmol).
