Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to tail gas treatment technical field especially relates to a sedimentation tank tail gas treatment device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The production process of gold extraction agent produces tail gas, which mainly contains particulate matter, ammonia and other substances, and must be treated before discharge. The traditional spray adsorption method is used to treat the solution to absorb ammonia and particulate matter, which can then be precipitated into a sedimentation tank. Then, a deodorizing agent is added to the sedimentation tank for odor control, which not only removes the odor in the tail gas but also avoids the generation of solid pollutants. However, there is still some residual tail gas (mainly ammonia) in the sedimentation tank. Currently, the gas generated is discharged to an adsorption box (which contains two or three activated carbon mesh plates) through a pipeline. The activated carbon mesh plates in the adsorption box need to be replaced at certain time intervals. Due to the fluctuation of ammonia concentration in the sedimentation tank, the activated carbon mesh plates may be saturated during replacement, resulting in the discharge of some ammonia without treatment. In some cases, the activated carbon mesh plates have not reached the adsorption capacity, resulting in waste of the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon mesh plates (i.e., the activated carbon is easily saturated or not fully utilized). In addition, manual monitoring of the replacement timing is lagging, which may cause secondary pollution or waste of activated carbon.

[0021] The specific implementation of the utility model is described in detail below in combination with specific examples.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The sedimentation tank tail gas treatment device provided by the utility model embodiment comprises a purification pipe 1, an activated carbon column 2 and an air lock valve group 5.

[0023] In the embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 One end of the purification pipe 1 is fixedly provided with a fixed flange 11, and the other end of the purification pipe 1 is provided with a threaded mouth 8, the activated carbon column 2 for purifying tail gas is inserted into the purification pipe 1, a screw cap 3 is installed on the threaded mouth 8 in a threaded connection mode, a compression rod 31 for abutting the activated carbon column 2 is fixedly installed on the screw cap 3, and a middle connecting component 9 is further installed in the purification pipe 1, the middle connecting component 9 comprises a fixed ring 91, the fixed ring 91 is fixedly installed in the purification pipe 1 and close to the fixed flange 11, a spring B 92 is fixedly installed on the fixed ring 91, and the other end of the spring B 92 is fixedly provided with an outer abutting ring 93.

[0024] It should be noted that the fixed flange 11 is connected with the sedimentation tank tail gas exhaust pipeline by means of a screw, when the activated carbon column 2 is installed, the activated carbon column 2 is inserted into the purification pipe 1 from the threaded mouth 8, then the screw cap 3 is covered and screwed, the activated carbon column 2 is pushed into the purification pipe 1 by the compression rod 31, and the activated carbon column 2 compresses the spring B 92 through the outer abutting ring 93, at this time, the communication port of the L-shaped branch pipe 4 and the purification pipe 1 is located between the end of the activated carbon column 2 and the screw cap 3, so that the activated carbon column 2 can purify the tail gas;

[0025] When the activated carbon column 2 is replaced, after the screw cap 3 is unscrewed, a part of the column body of the activated carbon column 2 slides out of the purification pipe 1 under the elastic force of the spring B 92, so that the staff can quickly take out and replace the activated carbon column 2;

[0026] It is worth noting that the activated carbon column 2 in the application uses modified activated carbon, which is soaked in hydrochloric acid (HCl) or phosphoric acid (H3PO4) solution, heated to 60-100 DEG C, stirred for 2-6 hours, then filtered, washed to neutral, and dried (100-120 DEG C). In order to avoid the corrosion of the purification pipe 1, the purification pipe 1 can be internally lined with PTFE pipe or made of Hastelloy C276, and the staff should wear protective clothing and gloves when contacting the activated carbon column 2.

[0027] In the embodiment, a butterfly valve or a ball valve can be installed on the tail gas exhaust pipe of the sedimentation tank, and the butterfly valve or the ball valve is closed when the activated carbon column 2 is replaced.

[0028] In the embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the L-shaped branch pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the pipe body close to the threaded port 8, the L-shaped branch pipe 4 is provided with a vent hole 4a and a flared cavity 4b, the vent hole 4a and the flared cavity 4b are communicated with each other, the flared cavity 4b is located between the vent hole 4a and the gas outlet pipe port of the L-shaped branch pipe 4, and the vent hole 4a is a converging arc-shaped cavity port away from the flared cavity 4b.

[0029] The L-shaped branch pipe 4 is provided with a gas locking valve group 5, the gas locking valve group 5 comprises a fixed frame 51 fixedly installed in the L-shaped branch pipe 4, a sliding rod 52 slidably inserted on the fixed frame 51, a steel ball 53 fixedly installed on the sliding rod 52 and a spring A 54 sleeved thereon, one end of the spring A 54 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the fixed frame 51, the other end of the spring A 54 is fixedly connected with the outer spherical surface of the steel ball 53, and the steel ball 53 abuts against the arc-shaped cavity port through the spring A 54.

[0031] It should be noted that when the tail gas after purification of the activated carbon column 2 enters the purification pipe 1, the converging arc-shaped cavity port of the vent hole 4a is blocked by the steel ball 53 due to the elastic force of the spring A 54, when the gas pressure in the purification pipe 1 is greater than the elastic force of the spring A 54, the steel ball 53 slides along the fixed frame 51 to the flared cavity 4b with the sliding rod 52, at this time, the purified gas can be discharged from the purification pipe 1, therefore, the gas locking valve group 5 automatically adjusts the opening and closing of the vent hole 4a according to the gas pressure in the purification pipe 1 through the cooperation of the spring A 54 and the steel ball 53, and the stable operation of the system is ensured.

[0032] If the activated carbon column 2 is saturated and it is difficult to neutralize ammonia, when the electrochemical sensor 6 in the flared cavity 4b detects that the ammonia concentration exceeds the standard, the audible and visual alarm 7 triggers a quick warning, so that the staff quickly closes the butterfly valve or ball valve on the tail gas exhaust pipe of the sedimentation tank, reduces the amount of untreated tail gas leakage, and immediately replaces the new activated carbon column 2, thereby effectively solving the problem of saturation of the activated carbon adsorption capacity and failure to replace it in time or replacement of the activated carbon before the adsorption capacity is reached.

[0033] The electrochemical sensor 6 and the audible and visual alarm 7 circuit and control in the utility model are prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] In the present application, the electrochemical sensor 6 needs to be calibrated and maintained regularly.

[0035] The above is only an embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent range of the utility model, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection range of the utility model.
