[0030] In the sulfidation process for treating waste acid, hydrogen sulfide gas serves as the core reaction medium, and the sulfidation thickener, acting as a sedimentation and separation facility, plays a crucial role. However, during actual operation, residual low-concentration toxic and harmful gases often escape from the shaft seal of the thickener's guide tube, causing frequent alarms from the fixed hydrogen sulfide gas detector and forcing the sulfidation system to shut down frequently. Furthermore, the leakage of residual gas into the air poses a safety risk of poisoning to workers. To ensure a safe working environment, effective measures must be taken to control the gas escape from the thickener's guide tube and reduce its impact on production and personnel safety.

[0031] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a gas recovery device for the guide tube of a thickening tank in a sulfidation system. Through the integrated application of a sealing system, an extraction pipe, and a water seal, it restricts and extracts hydrogen sulfide gas from the agitator bearing of the thickener, solving the gas diffusion problem in existing processes, improving the safety of the working environment, and ensuring the health and safety of operators. The sealing system and water supply pipe work together to effectively ensure the stability of the water seal. The sealing system is equipped with a magnetostrictive water level sensor, a redox potential monitor, a gas sensor, a reagent dosing device, and an adaptive negative pressure regulator to precisely control the chemical and negative pressure balance within the sealing system, effectively improving its stability.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the gas recovery device for the thickening tank guide tube of the vulcanization system shown in the embodiments of this application.

[0034] See Figure 1 A device for recovering escaping gas from a thickening tank in a vulcanization system, comprising:

[0035] 1. Concentrator; 2. Inlet pipe; 3. Exhaust pipe; 4. Cover plate; 5. Thickening tank; 6. Sealing system; 7. Gas detector; 8. Flow guide; 9. Support beam; 10. Water supply pipe.

[0036] The thickener 1 is mounted on the thickening tank 5 via the support beam 9. The guide barrel 8 is mounted on the main shaft of the thickener 1 inside the thickening tank 5 via the stirring bearing. The main shaft of the thickener 1 passes through the inside of the guide barrel 8. The cover plate 4 is mounted on the thickening tank 5 and the guide barrel 8 to seal the top of the thickening tank 5.

[0037] A sealing system 6 is installed on the guide tank 8 to seal the connection between the guide tank 8 and the thickener 1. The sealing system 6 includes: a sealing box 601, a magnetostrictive water level sensor 602, a redox potential monitor 603, a gas sensor 604, a reagent dosing device 605, an adaptive negative pressure regulator 606, and a controller. The sealing box 601 is made of corrosion-resistant fiberglass and is installed at the stirring bearing of the thickener 1 to seal the connection between the guide tank 8 and the thickener 1. A water seal is installed inside the sealing box 601 to further enhance the sealing effect and prevent the escape of hydrogen sulfide gas. A water supply pipe 10 is installed on the sealing box 601 and is equipped with an electric valve connected to the controller of the sealing system 6. The other end of the water supply pipe 10 is connected to a tap water pipe to replenish water in time when the water seal level drops and is about to fail, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the sealing system 6. A magnetostrictive water level sensor 602 is mounted on a sealed box 601 and connected to a controller. The sensor's detection probe uses an iron-gallium alloy as the waveguide wire. When a pulse current is applied to the excitation coil, a ring-shaped magnetic field is generated, which interacts with the axial magnetic field of the permanent magnet inside the float, inducing a Widmann effect torsional wave. The liquid level is calculated by measuring the time difference between the excitation pulse and the returning torsional wave. The water seal level is detected by the magnetostrictive water level sensor 602 and fed back to the controller. When the water level is lower than the standard level, the electric valve on the water supply pipe 10 is switched on and off to replenish the water seal level.

[0038] The redox potential monitor 603 is installed at the bottom of the sealed box 601. It detects the redox potential in the water seal liquid using a platinum composite electrode, directly reflecting the degree of H2S oxidation in the solution. A higher potential value indicates more complete sulfide oxidation. The reagent dosing device 605 is installed at the top of the sealed box 601. An electric valve is installed on the discharge pipe of the reagent dosing device 605, which extends into the sealed box 601. The redox potential monitor 603 and the reagent dosing device 605 are connected to a controller. When the redox potential is less than the H2S enrichment risk threshold, a slow-release reagent (such as H2O2 or NaClO) is automatically triggered. When the redox potential is greater than 200mV, the amount of slow-release reagent is reduced, achieving precise control of the chemical inhibition and conversion process of hydrogen sulfide and ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the water seal.

[0039] An adaptive negative pressure regulator 606 is mounted on the sealed box 601. The output of the adaptive negative pressure regulator 606 is installed inside the suction pipe 3. The adaptive negative pressure regulator 606 includes a centrifugal vacuum pump and a frequency converter. The frequency converter adjusts the power output frequency and voltage according to the controller's instructions to control the speed and torque of the centrifugal vacuum pump. A gas sensor 604 is mounted on the outer wall of the suction pipe 3 inside the sealed box 601. The gas sensor 604 uses intrinsically conductive polymers such as polypyrrole, polyaniline, or poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) as its substrate. Its conductivity changes reversibly with the adsorption of H2S molecules. H2S undergoes a redox reaction with the polymer backbone, leading to a change in carrier concentration and a significant change in resistivity. By doping with metal oxides or using molecular imprinting technology, it selectively shields interfering gases such as CO2 and SO2. The gas sensor 604 is connected to the controller. Based on the hydrogen sulfide gas concentration fed back by the gas sensor 604, the controller sends a command to the frequency converter to adjust the power output frequency and voltage, thereby realizing the power control of the centrifugal vacuum pump and increasing the negative pressure of the suction pipe 3 on the sealing box 601.

[0040] The extraction pipe 3 is installed on both sides of the cover plate 4 and on the sealing box 601 of the sealing system 6. A Venturi effect acceleration section is set inside the extraction pipe 3, and a contraction-expansion flow channel is adopted at the inlet of the extraction pipe 3 to increase the gas flow rate and enhance the negative pressure adsorption force of the extraction pipe 3. The extraction pipe 3 is connected to the exhaust gas fan to generate negative pressure and introduce the generated hydrogen sulfide gas into the exhaust gas treatment system.

[0041] Gas detector 7 is installed on concentrator 1 above sealing system 6. When there is a problem with sealing system 6, guide tank 8 or cover plate 4, it detects hydrogen sulfide gas and other toxic gases, shuts down concentrator 1 in time, and issues an alarm to remind staff.

[0042] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
