Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste gas treatment technology, and in particular to an activated carbon adsorption device for catalytic combustion waste gas. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of VOC (volatile organic compound) waste gas treatment, catalytic combustion and activated carbon adsorption are two widely used technologies. Catalytic combustion technology heats the waste gas to a certain temperature, and under the action of a catalyst, oxidizes and decomposes organic matter into carbon dioxide and water, achieving a highly efficient and thorough purification effect. However, traditional catalytic combustion equipment suffers from drawbacks such as high energy consumption, complex equipment, and high operating costs, especially when treating low-concentration waste gas, resulting in poor economic efficiency. Furthermore, catalytic combustion equipment typically requires high preheating temperatures, further increasing energy consumption.
[0003] Activated carbon adsorption technology uses the adsorption properties of activated carbon to trap organic matter in waste gas, making it suitable for treating low-concentration, high-volume waste gas. Activated carbon adsorption equipment has a simple structure and low cost, but once the activated carbon becomes saturated, it needs to be replaced or regenerated periodically, increasing operating and maintenance costs. Traditional activated carbon desorption and regeneration typically uses steam or hot air desorption. The high-concentration waste gas after desorption still requires further treatment, such as returning it to a catalytic combustion unit for combustion. However, this process suffers from low desorption efficiency, high energy consumption, and a large equipment footprint.
[0004] While existing technologies include waste gas treatment equipment that combines catalytic combustion with activated carbon adsorption, the following shortcomings still exist:
[0005] The equipment has a complex structure: traditional equipment has complicated designs for components such as adsorption carbon boxes, air valves, and air ducts, resulting in high manufacturing costs.
[0006] Low desorption efficiency: The unreasonable design of the desorption duct leads to uneven distribution of hot air and unsatisfactory desorption effect.
[0007] High energy consumption: The hot air circulation efficiency is low and the heat loss is large during the desorption process, which increases energy consumption.
[0008] Poor sealing performance: Traditional air valves (such as round central shaft rotary butterfly valves) have insufficient sealing performance, which can easily cause exhaust gas leakage and affect the treatment effect.
[0009] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of integrated catalytic combustion and activated carbon adsorption equipment that can simplify the structure, reduce costs, improve desorption efficiency and sealing performance, and reduce energy consumption, so as to meet the VOC waste gas treatment industry's demand for efficient, energy-saving and economical equipment.

The adsorption box 1 contains several activated carbon chambers 11 arranged horizontally. Activated carbon 111 is installed in the middle of each activated carbon chamber 11. An adsorption inlet pipe 112 is connected to the upper end of each activated carbon chamber 11, and an adsorption outlet pipe 113 is connected to the lower end. A rotary cylinder valve 114 is installed inside the adsorption outlet pipe 113. A desorption inlet channel 12 is provided on one side of the upper part of the adsorption box 1, and a desorption return channel 13 is provided on one side of the lower part. The activated carbon chambers 11 contain... A desorption air distribution plate 115 is installed at an angle at the upper left and upper right corners, and a desorption air inlet 116 is located on the upper part of the desorption air distribution plate; the desorption air inlet 116 is connected to the desorption air inlet channel 12; a desorption return air distribution plate 117 is installed at an angle at the lower left and lower right corners of the activated carbon chamber 11, and a desorption return air inlet 118 is located below the desorption return air distribution plate 117; the desorption return air inlet 118 is connected to the desorption return air channel 13; the adsorption air inlet pipe 2 is located above the adsorption box 1, and the adsorption air inlet pipe 2 is connected to all adsorption air inlet pipes 112; a first linear cylinder is installed on the adsorption air inlet pipe 2 corresponding to each adsorption air inlet pipe 112. Valve 21; the adsorption outlet pipe 3 is located below the adsorption box 1, and the adsorption outlet pipe 3 is connected to all adsorption outlet pipe ports 113; the exhaust fan 4 is connected to the end of the adsorption outlet pipe 3; the desorption inlet pipe 6 is connected between the CO furnace 5 and the desorption inlet air channel 12; the desorption return air pipe 7 is connected between the CO furnace 5 and the desorption return air channel 13; a second linear cylinder valve 121 is installed at each desorption inlet 116 position in the desorption inlet air channel 12; a third linear cylinder valve 131 is installed at each desorption return air port 118 position in the desorption return air channel 13; the desorption fan 8 is installed on the desorption inlet pipe 6; this design connects the adsorption inlet pipe port 112 with... The adsorption outlet 113 is located on the upper and lower sides of the activated carbon chamber 11. The desorption inlet 116 and desorption return outlet 118 are integrated at the four corners of the activated carbon chamber 11, resulting in a reasonable overall structure and improved space utilization. The desorption inlet channel 12 and desorption return channel 13 are integrated into the adsorption box 1, reducing costs and improving the appearance. The adsorption inlet 112 is controlled by a first linear cylinder valve 21, while the desorption inlet 116 and desorption return outlet 118 are controlled by a second linear cylinder valve and a third linear cylinder valve, respectively. This design offers advantages such as simple structure, convenient installation and maintenance, and low cost. The adsorption outlet 113 is controlled by a rotary cylinder valve 114, ensuring high sealing performance.
[0031] In this design, three activated carbon chambers 11 are provided.
[0032] The desorption air inlet channel 12 is located on the rear side of the upper part of the adsorption box 1; the desorption return air channel 13 is located on the front side of the lower part of the adsorption box 1 to optimize the desorption airflow circulation effect.
[0033] The rotary cylinder valve 114 is a four-link rotary cylinder valve 114, which has higher sealing performance.
[0034] The desorption air inlet equalizer plate 115 has multiple holes 1151; each hole 1151 is equipped with an adjustable air guide valve plate 1152. The equalizer plate and the air guide valve plate 1152 are integral stainless steel structures. The air guide valve plate 1152 is punched and bent from the equalizer plate. According to actual needs, the opening size of the air guide valve plate 1152 can be adjusted by using tools such as clamps to adjust the air volume and direction, so as to make the air distribution more balanced.

[0037] The first linear cylinder valve 21 controls the opening of the adsorption inlet 112, the rotary cylinder valve 114 controls the opening of the adsorption outlet 113, the second linear cylinder valve 121 controls the closing of the desorption inlet 116, and the third linear cylinder valve 131 controls the closing of the desorption return air outlet 118. The exhaust fan 4 operates, and under its suction force, the waste gas is drawn from the adsorption inlet 2 into the activated carbon chamber 11 and adsorbed by the activated carbon 111. After a certain period of adsorption, the activated carbon 111 reaches saturation and loses its adsorption capacity, requiring desorption and reduction before adsorption can resume. At this point, the desorption valve of one activated carbon chamber 11 (i.e., the second linear cylinder valve 121) closes. The linear cylinder valve 121 and the third linear cylinder valve 131 are opened, the adsorption valve (first linear cylinder valve 21 and rotary cylinder valve 114) is closed, the desorption fan 8 is started, and desorption is carried out. The heating tube of the catalytic combustion furnace heats up to a temperature of 200-300℃. The hot air heated by the CO furnace 5 removes the carbon adsorbed waste gas dust particles in the adsorption box 1, and returns to the CO furnace 5 with the circulating air to be burned, decomposed into carbon dioxide and water vapor. When the desorption process reaches a certain time, the desorption process is completed, and it switches back to the adsorption process. The other saturated activated carbon chamber 11 is in the desorption process in turn, achieving a continuous cycle of adsorption and desorption. During the adsorption process, the adsorption valve is open and the desorption air valve is closed. During the desorption process, the adsorption valve is closed and the desorption valve is open.
