Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical technology, specifically relating to a nitric acid tail gas recovery device. Background Technology
[0002] Nitric acid is a strong acid with strong oxidizing and corrosive properties, and is an important chemical raw material. Nitric acid plants produce a large amount of nitric acid tail gas during the nitric acid production process. Nitric acid tail gas is a common industrial waste gas, containing a large amount of NO. X Gas (commonly referred to as nitrogen oxides NO) X The main pollutants include NO, NO2, N2O, N2O3, N2O4, and N2O5. NO is easily generated at low altitudes in the tailrace tank and nitric acid storage tank of the nitric acid plant. X The large-scale spillage of gas and the emission of nitric acid tail gas have caused serious environmental pollution and posed a serious threat to the on-site environment and occupational health of personnel. In particular, the spillage will be exacerbated during the low-pressure and high-temperature season in summer.
[0003] There are various methods for purifying nitrogen oxides both domestically and internationally. One method is liquid absorption for treating nitric acid tail gas. Liquid absorption typically uses water or aqueous solutions of acids, alkalis, or salts as absorbents to absorb nitrogen oxides from the waste gas, thus purifying it. During the treatment process, a jet pump can be used to discharge the nitric acid tail gas into a nitric acid wastewater tank. However, the absorption effect is limited, and the treated nitric acid tail gas still contains NO. X The gas also causes serious exceedances of nitrate ions in the nitric acid wastewater pond. The discharge of treated nitric acid tail gas and wastewater still causes some pollution to the environment and also wastes resources. Utility Model Content
