Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of processing potassium humate solution from mineral sources, specifically a drying device with a gas purification mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In many industrial production processes, such as the processing of potassium humate solution from mineral sources, drying devices with gas purification mechanisms play an indispensable role. During the drying process, waste gas containing pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and acidic gases is generated. Drying devices with gas purification mechanisms can treat the waste gas through components such as condensers, removing or reducing pollutants such as VOCs to below emission standards, thereby reducing pollution to the atmospheric environment and protecting ecological balance and human health.
[0003] Traditional drying devices often fail to effectively recover high-temperature exhaust gases, resulting in wasted heat energy and increased energy consumption. Furthermore, the continuous introduction of hot air further depletes energy. Secondly, the gas purification section struggles to completely remove pollutants from the exhaust gas, particularly volatile organic compounds and fine particulate matter, failing to meet environmental protection requirements. These devices often employ a separate design, occupying a large area, with complex connections, making them prone to gas leaks and affecting performance. In addition, recyclable materials generated during the drying process are often not fully utilized; for example, condensed VOCs liquids are directly discarded, failing to improve the drying effect. Therefore, we propose a drying device with an integrated gas purification mechanism. Utility Model Content

A flange is fixedly connected to the end of the exhaust pipe 2 facing away from the dryer 1. A flange is fixedly connected to the bent end of the bent pipe 4. The flange of the exhaust pipe 2 is connected to the flange of the bent pipe 4 by bolts and nuts. A spiral blade 14 is fixedly connected to the outer cylindrical surface of the other fold of the bent pipe 4 without a flange. The sleeve 5 is sleeved with the bent pipe 4, with the spiral blade 14 positioned between the sleeve 5 and the bent pipe 4. Both ends of the sleeve 5 are fixed. A sealing plate 15 is connected, and the inner ring of the sealing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bent tube 4. The bent tube 4 contains hot exhaust gas generated in the dryer 1. The spiral blades 14 are used to increase the heat exchange area of the bent tube 4. The sleeve 5 is installed outside the spiral blades 14. The air in the sleeve 5 circulates between the spiral blades 14, increasing the residence time and guiding the flow of gas. The sealing plate 15 is used to seal both ends of the sleeve 5. The exposed part of the bent tube 4 is wrapped with heat insulation cotton. The outer surface of the sleeve 5 is wrapped with heat insulation cotton.
[0025] Furthermore, the heat exchange structure includes a suction fan 12 and an air inlet pipe 16. One end of the air inlet pipe 16 is connected through to the cylindrical surface of the sleeve 5. The air inlet pipe 16 is tangentially connected to the cylindrical surface of the sleeve 5. The air inlet pipe 16 is located on the side of the sleeve 5 away from the exhaust pipe 2. The position of the air inlet pipe 16 is between the spiral gaps of the spiral blades 14. The suction fan 12 is installed at the end of the air inlet pipe 16 away from the sleeve 5. The bottom of the suction fan 12 is fixed on the platform. The air inlet pipe 16 is used to introduce clean air into the sleeve 5. The suction fan 12 is used to draw air into the sleeve 5. The air inlet pipe 16 is between the threaded gaps of the spiral blades 14, tangentially entering between the spiral blades 14 and flowing with the spiral shape of the spiral blades 14.
[0026] Furthermore, the heat exchange structure also includes an exhaust pipe 10, an induced draft fan 11, and an insulation pipe 13. One end of the exhaust pipe 10 is connected to the cylindrical surface of the sleeve 5, and the exhaust pipe 10 is tangentially connected to the cylindrical surface of the sleeve 5. The exhaust pipe 10 is located on the side of the sleeve 5 near the exhaust pipe 2, and its position is between the spiral gaps of the spiral blades 14. The exhaust pipe 10 and the inlet pipe 16 are opposite each other on both sides of the sleeve 5. An induced draft fan 11 is installed at the end of the exhaust pipe 10 away from the sleeve 5. The bottom of the induced draft fan 11 is fixed to the top surface of the dryer 1. An insulation pipe 13 is fixedly installed at the outlet of the induced draft fan 11, and the other end of the insulation pipe 13 is connected to the side of the dryer 1. The walls are connected, and the exhaust pipe 10 is used to draw out the hot air between the spiral blades 14. The blower 11 is used to draw out the hot air inside the spiral blades 14. The insulation pipe 13 is used to introduce hot air into the dryer 1 at the location where hot air is needed. The outer surfaces of the exhaust pipe 10 and the insulation pipe 13 are wrapped with insulation cotton. Air enters the sleeve 5 and the space between the spiral blades 14 from the intake pipe 16 and flows in the spiral gap of the spiral blades 14. When the exhaust gas generated by the dryer 1 passes through the bend pipe 4, the bend pipe 4 conducts heat through the spiral blades 14 to the air between the spiral blades 14. The air between the spiral blades 14 becomes hot and then enters the dryer 1 through the exhaust pipe 10.
[0027] Furthermore, the purification mechanism includes a condenser 6, a spray tower 7, and an activated carbon adsorption tower 8. The end of the bend pipe 4 facing away from the exhaust gas pipe 2 is connected to the inlet pipe of the condenser 6 via a flange. The outlet pipe of the condenser 6 is connected to the inlet pipe of the spray tower 7 via a flange, and the outlet pipe of the spray tower 7 is connected to the inlet pipe of the activated carbon adsorption tower 8 via a flange. The condenser 6 is used to condense the exhaust gas after passing through the bend pipe 4. By adjusting the temperature and flow rate of the cooling medium, water vapor and some high-boiling-point VOCs in the exhaust gas are condensed into liquid and separated from the exhaust gas. The condensed and recovered exhaust gas enters the spray tower 7, which is equipped with multiple spray devices. Alkaline absorbent liquid, such as sodium hydroxide solution, is evenly sprayed down from the top of the tower by a spray pump, fully contacting the exhaust gas rising from the bottom of the tower. Acidic gases in the exhaust gas (such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) are absorbed. The waste gas undergoes a neutralization reaction with the alkaline absorbent to generate corresponding salts, which flow into the circulation tank at the bottom of the tower along with the absorbent. The absorbent in the circulation tank can be continuously circulated by a circulation pump. When the salt concentration in the absorbent reaches a certain level or the alkalinity of the absorbent decreases to the point where it cannot meet the absorption requirements, the absorbent needs to be replaced or regenerated. The waste gas after spray absorption treatment enters the activated carbon adsorption tower 8, which is filled with granular or honeycomb activated carbon. The waste gas enters from the bottom of the tower and flows upward through the activated carbon layer. VOCs molecules are adsorbed on the microporous surface of the activated carbon due to intermolecular forces, thereby achieving separation from the waste gas. After the waste gas is treated by activated carbon adsorption, the VOCs concentration can be significantly reduced to meet the corresponding emission standards. To ensure the adsorption effect, the activated carbon needs to be replaced or regenerated regularly.
[0028] Furthermore, a feed pipe 3 is connected to the top of the dryer 1, and a liquid outlet pipe 9 is connected to the condenser 6. The other end of the liquid outlet pipe 9 is connected to the side wall of the feed pipe 3. The feed pipe 3 is used for feeding, and the liquid outlet pipe 9 introduces the VOCs liquid generated in the condenser 6 into the dryer 1. In the drying process, the VOCs liquid can be used as an auxiliary agent to adjust the surface tension and viscosity of the mineral potassium humate solution. Adding an appropriate amount of VOCs liquid such as ethyl acetate can make the solution better atomize into fine droplets, increase the contact area with hot air, improve drying efficiency, and help obtain mineral potassium humate products with uniform particle size and good quality.

[0046] Working principle: The material enters the dryer 1 through the feed pipe 3. The dryer 1 generates hot air to dry the material. During the drying process, a large amount of high-temperature waste gas is generated. This waste gas carries heat and various pollutants and is discharged from the dryer 1 through the waste gas pipe 2. The suction fan 12 is started, and clean air is drawn into the sleeve 5 through the air inlet pipe 16. The air inlet pipe 16 is tangential to the cylindrical surface of the sleeve 5 and is located between the spiral gaps of the spiral blades 14, so that the air enters tangentially between the spiral blades 14 and flows with the spiral shape of the spiral blades 14. The hot waste gas generated by the dryer 1 enters the bent pipe 4. The spiral blades 14 are fixed on the outer cylindrical surface of the bent pipe 4, and their function is to increase the heat exchange area of the bent pipe 4. When the hot waste gas enters the bent pipe 4, the heat exchange area is increased. During internal flow, heat is transferred through the bent pipe 4 and spiral blades 14 to the air flowing between the spiral blades 14. Since both ends of the sleeve 5 are sealed by the sealing plates 15, the air circulates between the spiral blades 14, increasing the residence time and facilitating heat absorption. Simultaneously, the exposed portion of the bent pipe 4 and the insulation cotton wrapped around the outer surface of the sleeve 5 reduce heat loss. The induced draft fan 11 starts, drawing the heated air between the spiral blades 14 out through the exhaust pipe 10, and then through the insulation pipe 13 to the location requiring hot air within the dryer 1, achieving heat recovery and reducing energy consumption during the drying process. The exhaust gas, after heat exchange through the bent pipe 4, enters the condenser 6. By adjusting the temperature and flow rate of the cooling medium, the water vapor and some other components in the exhaust gas are cooled. High-boiling-point VOCs are condensed into liquid and separated from the waste gas, initially reducing the pollutant content in the waste gas. The waste gas after condensation and recovery enters spray tower 7. Inside the tower, a multi-layer spray device evenly sprays alkaline absorbent liquid (such as sodium hydroxide solution) from the top of the tower, ensuring full contact with the waste gas rising from the bottom. Acidic gases (such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) in the waste gas undergo a neutralization reaction with the alkaline absorbent liquid, generating corresponding salts. These salts flow with the absorbent liquid into the circulation tank at the bottom of the tower. The absorbent liquid in the circulation tank can be continuously circulated by a circulation pump. When the salt concentration in the absorbent liquid reaches a certain level or the alkalinity decreases to the point where it cannot meet the absorption requirements, the absorbent liquid needs to be replaced or regenerated. The waste gas after spray absorption treatment enters the active... The activated carbon adsorption tower 8 is filled with granular or honeycomb activated carbon. It uses intermolecular forces to adsorb VOCs molecules in the waste gas onto its microporous surface, further reducing the concentration of VOCs in the waste gas and enabling the waste gas to meet the corresponding emission standards. To ensure the adsorption effect, the activated carbon needs to be replaced or regenerated regularly. The VOCs liquid generated in the condenser 6 is introduced into the feed pipe 3 through the liquid outlet pipe 9 and then enters the dryer 1. In the drying process, these VOCs liquids can be used as an auxiliary agent to adjust the surface tension and viscosity of the mineral potassium humate solution, so that the solution can be better atomized into fine droplets, increasing the contact area with hot air, improving drying efficiency, and helping to obtain mineral potassium humate products with uniform particle size and good quality.
