Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to an acetylene gas treatment system, and more particularly to a water-saving and emission-reducing acetylene gas treatment system. Background technology:
[0002] When producing acetylene using the calcium carbide method, the resulting acetylene contains impurities such as hydrogen sulfide and phosphine. Currently, the crude acetylene produced by the calcium carbide method first passes through a spray tower, a water washing tower, a purification tower 1, and a purification tower 2. Excess sodium hypochlorite (sodium hypochlorite) is sequentially introduced into purification tower 2, purification tower 1, the water washing tower, and the spray tower to react with H2S and PH3 in the crude acetylene, converting them into dilute sulfuric acid and dilute phosphoric acid. This process removes hydrogen sulfide and phosphine from the acetylene gas. The resulting sodium hypochlorite solution (45-50℃) is sent to a desorption tower to distill off the acetylene (recovery rate approximately 65 m³ / h). The waste sodium hypochlorite solution is then cooled by a sodium hypochlorite cooler and reacted with chlorine gas, 10%... NaOH solution enters the Venturi column, is prepared into sodium hypochlorite, and enters the sodium hypochlorite storage tank. The sodium hypochlorite in the storage tank is transported to the sodium hypochlorite high-level tank by a booster pump. The sodium hypochlorite in the high-level tank is then sent to the second purification tower for recycling. However, about 8-10 m³ / h of waste sodium hypochlorite is still being discharged.
[0003] The wastewater needs to be discharged to a wastewater treatment plant for unified treatment. Due to the large production volume of waste sodium hypochlorite solution, the company's wastewater discharge volume is large, which undoubtedly increases the company's wastewater treatment costs, seriously affects the company's economic benefits, and is not conducive to water conservation and emission reduction.

[0013] Advantages of this utility model:

[0026] Job Description:
[0027] In this embodiment, calcium carbide and water undergo a hydrolysis reaction in acetylene generator 1 to produce crude acetylene gas. The crude acetylene gas first enters spray tower 2, where it is cooled by spray water, causing the moisture in the crude acetylene gas to condense. The condensate is then reused in acetylene generator 1, reducing the amount of moisture entrained in the acetylene gas in the downstream system and achieving the purpose of water conservation and emission reduction. Then, it sequentially enters water washing tower 4, purification tower 7, and purification tower 8 for further purification, followed by neutralization tower 9 and neutralization tower 10 for purification using alkaline solutions.

The waste sodium hypochlorite discharged from the water washing tower 4 is temporarily stored in the wastewater tank 5 and then enters the desorption tower 11. Utilizing the characteristic that the solubility of acetylene gas in water decreases with increasing temperature and decreasing pressure, the acetylene gas dissolved in the waste sodium hypochlorite solution is desorbed in the desorption tower 11 by heating and depressurizing. The desorbed gas enters the acetylene storage tank 12, while the liquid is cooled by the sodium hypochlorite cooler 20 and then enters the Venturi 19 with chlorine gas and 10% NaOH solution to prepare sodium hypochlorite, which is then fed into the sodium hypochlorite storage tank 13 for reuse.
[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by improving the spray pattern and distribution of the spray heads of the spray tower 2, the spraying effect can be improved, thereby reducing the amount of spraying water.
[0030] The use of this embodiment can solve the problem of large external water discharge during the treatment of crude acetylene gas in the wet process of calcium carbide to produce acetylene. It controls the external discharge of waste sodium hypochlorite during the production process to about 2.24 m³ / h, reducing the external discharge by about 74.4%, which brings the process closer to zero wastewater discharge and can effectively reduce the pollution caused by sewage discharge to the environment.
