Technical Field

[0002] Distillation columns, widely used in chemical processes to separate different components in mixtures, achieve efficient separation through gas-liquid contact. In boron isotope separation, boron trifluoride methyl ether complex (BF3·OCH3CH3) is used for separating boron-10 (… 10 B) and Boron-11 ( 11 B) is a key carrier. Utilizing the volatility difference of boron trifluoride methyl ether complexes for isotope separation has become a current method for obtaining high-abundance... 10 B is an effective way, and the distillation column plays an indispensable core role in this process.
[0003] In distillation processes using boron trifluoride methyl ether complexes as the separation medium, the condenser is a crucial component of the entire system.

Two condensing outlets 6 are installed at the bottom of condensing shell 1, for discharging high-purity liquid phase material after condensation, so as to return flow to rectifying tower or as product output. Condensing shell 1 is equipped with multiple spiral heat exchange tubes 10 inside, these spiral heat exchange tubes 10 are made of high-thermal-conductivity material, and liquid-repellent nano coating is coated on outer surface, which helps to improve condensation efficiency, so that target components in tower top gas are condensed into liquid phase faster. Multiple spiral heat exchange tubes 10 are distributed in multiple layers with staggered positions, which greatly improves the heat exchange area of gas-liquid two-phase, while ensuring the uniformity of condensation and improving the separation effect of rectifying tower. Multiple partition plates 11 are arranged on the outer side of spiral heat exchange tube 10, for reasonably guiding the flow direction of condensate, preventing liquid from stagnating on the surface of heat exchange tube, and improving heat exchange effect. In addition, a spoiler 12 is installed between multiple spiral heat exchange tubes 10, which can enhance the turbulence degree of steam flow, so that gas fully contacts with cooling medium after entering the condenser, reduces short-circuit flow phenomenon, improves condensation efficiency and overall energy efficiency of rectifying tower. Cold water inlet 3 and cold water outlet 4 are respectively arranged on the right side of condensing shell 1, both of which are connected with spiral heat exchange tube 10, so that cooling medium can be efficiently circulated in heat exchange tube, realize sufficient heat absorption and carry away heat released during condensation process, and ensure the continuity and stability of condensation process. Steam inlet 5 is arranged on one side of the top of condensing shell 1, and the enriched steam at the top of rectifying tower enters the condenser for efficient condensation through the inlet. To realize intelligent control, multiple automatic regulating valves 9 are installed side by side on the top of condensing shell 1, and temperature sensor is installed inside condensing shell 1, which can automatically adjust the flow of cooling water according to the data provided by temperature sensor, so that the condensation process is always maintained in the best heat exchange state, improving the operation stability of rectifying tower.

A plurality of partition plates 11 are used to guide the flow direction of the condensed liquid, and the spoiler 12 changes the flow trajectory of the steam to make it fully contact the spiral heat exchange pipe 10. The condensed liquid is discharged through the condensing outlet 6, part of which is returned to the rectifying tower, and the rest is output as a product. One side of the top of the condensing shell 1 is provided with an exhaust pipe 7, and the top of the exhaust pipe 7 is connected with a filter assembly 8 composed of a mounting cylinder 802 and an activated carbon filter cartridge 801 located inside the mounting cylinder 802.

The bottom of the mounting cylinder 802 is fixedly connected with a bottom plate 803, and the exhaust pipe 7 and the bottom plate 803 are connected by a plurality of mounting bolts 804 to fix the assembly on the exhaust pipe 7. In addition, a temperature sensor is installed inside the condensing shell 1, and the data measured by the temperature sensor is used to control a plurality of automatic regulating valves 9 installed side by side at the top. These valves automatically adjust the cooling water flow according to the change of the condensing temperature, and cooperate with the overall separation process of the rectifying tower.
