Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of methanol distillation pretreatment technology, and in particular to a corrosion-resistant methanol distillation pretreatment device. Background Technology
[0002] In the coal-to-methanol process, the crude methanol produced has a complex composition, mainly methanol, but also contains a certain amount of water, a small amount of ethanol, a certain amount of non-condensable gases, and other trace organic impurities. Due to the presence of trace acidic substances, the methanol distillation process will cause varying degrees of corrosion to the top condenser, reflux equipment, and non-condensable gas discharge pipelines. This not only shortens the service life of the equipment but also increases the equipment maintenance costs and safety risks. At the same time, these acidic substances will also affect the quality of the product methanol. Therefore, we have introduced a corrosion-resistant methanol distillation pretreatment device. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a corrosion-resistant methanol distillation pretreatment device that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A corrosion-resistant methanol distillation pretreatment device includes a pretreatment distillation tank, a pretreatment mixing tank, and a pump body. A primary distillation mixing assembly is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pretreatment distillation tank. A feed pipe is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the pretreatment distillation tank. A methanol inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the feed pipe. An alkali inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the feed pipe. Flow regulating valves are movably installed on the outer surfaces of both the methanol and alkali inlet pipes. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer surface of the pretreatment mixing tank. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the left inner wall of the mounting plate. A control mechanism is installed at the lower end of the fixing plate. Three fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the pretreatment distillation tank and the upper outer surface of the pretreatment mixing tank. Each of the six fixing blocks has a through-hole at its upper end. A first conveying pipe is inserted and fixedly installed at the right end of the pump body, and the upper end of the first conveying pipe is inserted and fixedly connected to the lower end of the pretreatment distillation tank. A second conveying pipe is inserted and fixedly installed at the upper outer surface of the pump body, and the lower left end of the second conveying pipe is inserted and fixedly connected to the upper right end of the pretreatment mixing tank. A liquid outlet pipe is inserted and fixedly connected to the lower left end of the pretreatment mixing tank. Switch valves are movably installed on the outer surfaces of the feed pipe, the first conveying pipe, the second conveying pipe, and the liquid outlet pipe.
[0006] The primary distillation mixing assembly includes a first guide plate and a second guide plate, with two of each. The upper ends of the two first guide plates and the two second guide plates are provided with a plurality of premixing guide grooves. The outer surfaces of the two first guide plates and the two second guide plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pretreatment distillation tank.
[0007] Preferably, both first guide vanes are positioned at the lower left and upper right, and both second guide vanes are positioned at the upper left and lower right, with the two first guide vanes and the two second guide vanes being distributed in a staggered, alternating pattern.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution—with two first guide plates positioned at the lower left and upper right, and two second guide plates positioned at the upper left and lower right, and staggered in pairs—the flow direction of methanol and alkali solution entering the pretreatment distillation tank undergoes continuous and drastic changes as they pass through the first and second guide plates. This complex flow path promotes thorough interweaving and collision of the two liquids, greatly improving the uniformity of mixing. Compared with conventional parallel or single-angle guide plate settings, this allows methanol and alkali solution to achieve more thorough mixing in a shorter time, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent effective neutralization of acidic substances, thereby more efficiently reducing equipment corrosion and ensuring stable operation of the unit.
[0009] Preferably, the control mechanism includes a servo motor and a driven wheel. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly mounted with a driving wheel. The outer surfaces of the driving wheel and the driven wheel are connected by a transmission belt. The lower end of the driven wheel is fixedly connected with a stirring assembly. The lower end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the mounting plate. The upper end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed plate, and the output end of the servo motor passes through the lower end of the fixed plate and extends to the upper end of the fixed plate.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, stable power transmission is achieved through the combination of the driving pulley, the transmission belt, and the driven pulley.
[0011] Preferably, the upper ends of both the driven wheel and the driving wheel are movably connected to the upper inner wall of the mounting plate via a rotating shaft.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the driven wheel and the driving wheel are connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate through the rotating shaft, forming a stable mechanical support structure.
[0013] Preferably, the stirring assembly includes a movable rod, an upper flange fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable rod, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the lower end of the upper flange, a first spiral stirring blade and a second spiral stirring blade fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod, a lower flange fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating rod, and the upper end of the movable rod fixedly connected to the lower end of the driven wheel.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the first and second spiral stirring blades fixed on the outer surface of the rotating rod are staggered. When the stirring assembly rotates with the driven wheel, the first and second spiral stirring blades can form a complex and comprehensive stirring flow field in the pretreatment mixing tank. Under this strong stirring action, acidic substances can come into contact with the alkaline solution more quickly and evenly and undergo a neutralization reaction, which greatly improves the mixing efficiency and neutralization effect, ensures the stability of methanol quality after pretreatment, and reduces the risk of corrosion of subsequent equipment by acidic substances.
[0015] Preferably, the lower end of the movable rod is movably connected to the upper end of the pretreatment mixing tank via a bearing, and the lower end of the rotating rod is movably connected to the lower inner wall of the pretreatment mixing tank via a rotating shaft.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution: the lower end of the movable rod is movably connected to the upper end of the pretreatment mixing tank through a bearing, and the lower end of the rotating rod is movably connected to the lower inner wall of the pretreatment mixing tank through a rotating shaft. This creates a stable upper and lower support system for the stirring assembly.
[0017] Preferably, the first and second spiral stirring blades are staggered, and both the first and second spiral stirring blades have gaps with the inner wall of the pretreatment mixing tank.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the gaps between the first and second spiral stirring blades and the inner wall of the pretreatment mixing tank effectively prevent the first and second spiral stirring blades from scratching and wearing the inner wall of the pretreatment mixing tank.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. In this utility model, by setting a methanol inlet pipe and an alkali inlet pipe on the feed pipe and equipping them with a flow regulating valve, the feed ratio of methanol and alkali can be controlled to ensure that the two enter the pretreatment distillation tank in a suitable ratio. In the pretreatment distillation tank, the first guide plate and the second guide plate in the primary distillation mixing component are staggered and designed in conjunction with the premixing guide channel, so that methanol and alkali continuously change direction during the flow process, realizing preliminary mixing and distillation, effectively neutralizing acidic substances, greatly reducing corrosion to the pretreatment distillation tank and subsequent equipment, and extending the service life of the equipment;
[0021] In this invention, the pump body transports the pre-treated liquid from the pretreatment distillation tank to the pretreatment mixing tank through the first and second conveying pipes. In the pretreatment mixing tank, the control mechanism drives the stirring assembly to fully stir and mix the liquid. The servo motor drives the movable rod, rotating rod, and the staggered first and second spiral stirring blades to rotate through the driving wheel, transmission belt, and driven wheel, so that the methanol and alkali solution are further mixed evenly, ensuring that the acidic substances are fully neutralized, thereby stabilizing the quality of the product methanol and avoiding severe corrosion problems to the top condenser, reflux equipment, and non-condensable gas discharge pipeline in subsequent processing.
