[0022] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment of the invention, a high-boiling-point aromatic hydrocarbon fractionation tower device with self-cleaning function includes a main body 1 of the fractionation tower. The main body 1 has cleaning and drainage mechanisms 2 at both its upper and lower ends. The main body 1 includes a tower body 11. A first assembly hole 12 is provided at the center of the top of the tower body 11. Multiple second assembly holes 13 are provided at equal angles around the top of the tower body 11. Four drain ports 15 are provided at equal angles around the bottom wall of the inner wall of the tower body 11. A guide pipe 23 is fixedly installed in each drain port 15. A control valve 24 is fixedly installed at the opening at the bottom of the guide pipe 23. The cleaning and drainage mechanism 2 includes an annular high-pressure sprayer 2 positioned directly above the tower body 11. 1. The rear feed end of the annular high-pressure sprayer 21 is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet pipe 22. Multiple high-pressure nozzles at the bottom discharge end of the annular high-pressure sprayer 21 are fixedly installed in multiple second assembly holes 13. The whole adopts an optimized spraying mechanism design for cleaning liquid. The annular high-pressure sprayer 21 is set at the top of the tower body 11, and multiple high-pressure nozzles are set at the bottom of the tower body at equal angles. By increasing the number and distribution density of the nozzles, multi-directional spraying is achieved, ensuring that the cleaning liquid can reach every corner of the tower and enhance the cleaning effect. In addition, four drain ports 15 are also opened at the bottom of the tower body 11 at equal angles, which facilitates the rapid discharge of wastewater and waste after cleaning.
[0023] A set of trays 19 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the column body 11. There are three trays 19 arranged equidistantly from top to bottom. Each tray 19 is a sieve plate. The front middle of the column body 11 has a feed inlet 16 that matches the three trays 19. The trays 19 adopt a multi-layer structure design and are sieve plates. The multi-layer sieve plate structure allows the gas and liquid phases to fully contact on the trays 19 to carry out mass and heat transfer processes, which can provide a larger gas-liquid contact area and improve separation efficiency. At the same time, the feed inlet 16 is designed with a large side opening structure, which is conducive to introducing the mixture to be separated into the fractionation column.
[0024] The bottom of the column body 11 is fixedly connected to four supports 18 at equal angles for supporting the column body 11. A reflux port 17 is opened at the lower rear end of the column body 11, and a reflux pump 111 is fixedly installed in the reflux port 17. The front end of the reflux pump 111 is the liquid outlet, and the discharge port above the reflux pump 111 is fixedly connected to a reflux pipe 112. The end of the reflux pipe 112 away from the reflux pump 111 is fixedly connected to the first assembly hole 12. The reflux pump 111 is used to collect part of the liquid distilled from the top of the column and send it back to the bottom of the column to provide liquid phase reflux in the column and ensure the stable operation of the fractionation process. An installation groove 14 is opened at the center of the bottom wall of the column body 11, and a reboiler 110 is fixedly installed in the installation groove 14. The reboiler 110 can vaporize part of the liquid at the bottom of the column to generate rising steam, which provides gas phase power for the fractionation column, so that the gas and liquid phases can continuously transfer mass and heat in the column.
[0025] A hinge 113 is fixedly installed on one side of the opening of the feed inlet 16. A sealing door 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating end of the hinge 113. The sealing door 3 closes the opening of the feed inlet 16. A handle 4 is fixedly connected to the front end of the sealing door 3 away from the hinge 113. The sealing door 3 can be rotated by holding the handle 4, so as to conveniently close or open the feed inlet 16.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the reboiler 110 can partially vaporize the liquid at the bottom of the column to generate rising steam, which provides gas phase power for the fractionation column, enabling the gas and liquid phases to continuously transfer mass and heat within the column. The reflux pump 111 is used to collect part of the liquid distilled from the top of the column and send it back to the bottom of the column to provide liquid phase reflux within the column, ensuring the stable operation of the fractionation process. By utilizing the different boiling points of the components in the mixture, through multiple partial vaporization and partial condensation, the gas and liquid phases can fully transfer mass and heat within the column, thereby achieving the separation of the components. That is, when the heated mixture enters the fractionation column from the feed inlet 16, it flows downward under the action of gravity and comes into contact with the rising steam on the tray 19. When the high-boiling-point components in the vapor are cooled, they partially condense into liquid, while the low-boiling-point components in the liquid partially vaporize and enter the gas phase. After multiple such gas-liquid exchange processes, the low-boiling-point components gradually move upward and are enriched at the top of the column, while the high-boiling-point components move downward and are enriched at the bottom of the column, thus achieving the separation of the mixture and completing the fractionation of high-boiling-point aromatics.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
