Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yellow phosphorus production and processing technology, specifically to a waste heat recovery and utilization device for yellow phosphorus production. Background Technology
[0002] The yellow phosphorus industry suffers from high energy consumption, high emissions of waste gas, wastewater, and solid waste, and poor economic efficiency. Among the three wastes from yellow phosphorus, the largest solid waste is yellow phosphorus slag. On average, 10 tons of slag are generated for every ton of yellow phosphorus produced, and the slag discharge temperature is extremely high, reaching an average temperature of 1400℃ after exiting the furnace.
[0003] Currently, there are generally two methods for treating yellow phosphorus waste residue. One method involves quenching the molten phosphorus waste residue (temperatures as high as 1350–1550℃) with a large amount of cold water, then transporting it away by truck for secondary processing. However, during cooling, the waste residue generates a mixture of water vapor and acidic gases, as well as wastewater, which can have a significant impact on the environment when discharged. The other method involves companies directly discharging dry residue, allowing the high-temperature molten waste residue to flow directly into a dry residue yard. After the temperature drops, workers shovel and transport the dry residue away. This method does not consume water or cause secondary pollution or corrosive vapors. However, the high-temperature molten waste residue (around 1300℃) flowing in the production workshop is extremely dangerous, and a large amount of heat is also lost and wasted. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a waste heat recovery and utilization device for yellow phosphorus production that has minimal environmental impact, poses no safety hazards, and effectively utilizes the heat from waste residue.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a waste heat recovery and utilization device for yellow phosphorus production, comprising a control panel, a slag pool, a steam suction pump, a first heat exchange device, and a second heat exchange device. The slag pool is located on one side of the electric furnace and is connected to the slag discharge pipe of the electric furnace through a pipeline.

[0008] The control panel is located on one side of the slag pool in an easily accessible position. The electrical control components in this equipment are connected to the control panel via wires.
[0009] As an optimization solution for this case, in order to improve the utilization rate of quenching slag water and reduce water waste, a circulation device is provided on one side of the heat exchange pool.
[0010] Furthermore, the circulation device includes a sedimentation tank and a cooling tower. The sedimentation tank is divided into three equal-sized chambers by two partitions: a primary sedimentation chamber, a secondary sedimentation chamber, and a tertiary sedimentation chamber. The inlet of the primary sedimentation chamber is connected to the sewage pipe of the second heat exchange unit. A downward-sloping guide plate is installed on the tank wall below the outlet. Multiple overflow holes are equidistantly opened on the upper part of the end face of the partition between the primary and secondary sedimentation chambers. A primary filter screen is installed in the overflow hole. The partition between the secondary and tertiary sedimentation chambers also has multiple overflow holes, and a secondary filter screen is installed in the hole.

Each adjacent heat exchange disc tube is connected to form a whole. The inlet and outlet of the second heat exchange group 10 extend outside the heat exchange pool 9. The inlet is connected to the outlet of the first heat exchange group 8 through a pipe. A drain pipe is installed on the outlet.
[0026] The control panel 1 is located on one side of the slag tank 2 in a convenient position for operation. The electrical control components in this equipment are connected to the control panel 1 via wires. Example 2
[0027] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the specific structure and implementation method are as illustrated in Example 1, with the difference being that, see [link to example]. Figure 3 A circulation device is provided on one side of the heat exchange pool 9.
[0028] from Figure 3 and Figure 5 As can be seen, the circulation device includes a settling tank 12 and a cooling tower 13. The settling tank 12 is divided into three equal-sized chambers by two baffles: a primary settling chamber 14, a secondary settling chamber 15, and a tertiary settling chamber 16. The inlet of the water inlet pipe of the primary settling chamber 14 is connected to the sewage pipe of the second heat exchange group 10. A downwardly inclined guide plate 17 is installed on the tank wall below the outlet. The upper part of the end face of the baffle between the primary settling chamber 14 and the secondary settling chamber 15, etc. Multiple overflow holes are provided in the settling tank 12, and a primary filter screen is installed in each overflow hole. The partition between the secondary settling chamber 15 and the tertiary settling chamber 16 is also provided with multiple overflow holes, and a secondary filter screen is installed in each hole.

The bottom of the tower body is connected to a drain pipe, and the outlet of the drain pipe is connected to the water inlet of the slag tank 2.
[0029] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 A cooling fan 18 is installed on the top surface of the cooling tower 13. The air blowing pipe of the cooling fan 18 extends vertically from the upper part of the cooling tower 13 into the middle and lower part of the tower, and a horn-shaped air nozzle is installed on the air outlet of the air blowing pipe.
[0030] See Figure 3 and Figure 4The heat exchange area is also equipped with a third heat exchange group 19, which is a U-shaped finned heat exchange tube. Its inlet is connected to the discharge pipe of the steam suction pump 3 through an insulation pipe, and its outlet is connected to the water inlet pipe of the first-stage settling chamber 14.
[0031] During operation, the waste residue is transported from the electric furnace to the slag pool 2 to come into contact with cooling water for cooling, and the cooling water is heated to high temperature. After the waste residue is quenched, the high temperature water is discharged into the No. 1 heat exchange group 8, and the air pump 7 is turned on to blow air to cool the coil of the No. 1 heat exchange group 8. The air absorbs heat from the surface of the No. 1 heat exchange group 8 and becomes high temperature gas. After the gas is heated in the heat exchange tank 6 for a certain period of time, it begins to expand into hot air. At this time, the hot air floating in the air pushes open the pressure valve at the top of the heat exchange tank 6 and is transported to the corresponding equipment or workshop for drying and preheating treatment. After the heated air reaches the standard, it is discharged, the pressure valve is reset and closed, and the air continues to be heated in the heat exchange tank 6.
[0032] After releasing partial heat in heat exchange tank 6, the high-temperature wastewater enters the second heat exchange group 10 of heat exchange pool 9 to dissipate heat and heat the water source in heat exchange pool 9. At the same time, steam suction pump 3 draws the high-temperature steam generated by quenching water into the third heat exchange group 19 to heat the cold water in heat exchange pool 9 together. Temperature sensor monitors the water temperature in heat exchange pool 9 in real time. After reaching the preset value, the solenoid valve is opened and the water is delivered to the living area or workshops with hot water demand.
[0033] The water droplets formed by the condensation of the high-temperature steam heat after absorption, along with the wastewater after most of the heat has been absorbed, enter the sedimentation chambers of the sedimentation tank 12 for residue sedimentation. After sedimentation, the wastewater is pumped into the cooling tower 13 and cooled by the air cooler 18 before flowing back to the slag tank 2 for the next quenching.

Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
