Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas purification technology, specifically to an absorbent regeneration device for gas desulfurization. Background Technology
[0002] Under the current environment of upgraded environmental protection policies, excessively high sulfur content in some industrial exhaust gases or by-product gases can have negative impacts. For example, high levels of H2S in blast furnace gas, a by-product of the metallurgical industry, can form acidic liquids that corrode pipes and equipment; SO2 emitted from industrial exhaust gases can oxidize into sulfuric acid mist or sulfate aerosols, forming acid rain and causing environmental acidification. Therefore, with the continuous upgrading of national environmental protection policies, there are clear constraints on the sulfur content in exhaust gases, requiring that industrial exhaust gases must undergo desulfurization and meet emission standards before being released.
[0003] Currently, the commonly used desulfurization method is to use chemical absorption in large-scale desulfurization equipment. This method involves selectively absorbing sulfur dioxide, organic sulfur, and other substances in the gas using solutions of different types of alkyl alcohol amine compounds, and then releasing sulfides by heating the regenerated solution. This method is inefficient, energy-intensive, and requires a large area. Utility Model Content

[0022] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, an absorbent regeneration device for gas desulfurization is provided, including a regeneration tower, which includes an upper tower 1 and a lower tower 2. A first partition 3 is provided between the upper tower 1 and the lower tower 2, and a first gas tower 5 is provided on the first partition 3. The upper tower 1 and the lower tower 2 are connected through the first gas tower 5.
[0023] The top of the upper tower 1 is connected to a regeneration gas output channel 7. The upper part of the upper tower 1 is provided with a rich liquid spraying mechanism 8, which is used to spray rich liquid. The rich liquid is a regenerable absorbent liquid that has absorbed sulfides. A third structured packing layer 9 is provided between the regeneration gas output channel 7 and the rich liquid spraying mechanism 8. The third structured packing layer 9 is used to remove the absorbent liquid from the regeneration gas flow. Multiple first structured packing layers 10 arranged vertically are provided between the rich liquid spraying mechanism 8 and the first gas tower 5. The bottom chamber of the upper tower 1 is a semi-rich liquid chamber 12 for storing semi-rich liquid. The semi-rich liquid is the rich liquid that has undergone the first regeneration.
[0024] A semi-rich liquid spraying mechanism 16 is provided in the middle of the lower tower 2. A semi-rich liquid conveying pipe 19 is connected between the semi-rich liquid chamber 12 and the semi-rich liquid spraying mechanism 16. The semi-rich liquid conveying pipe 19 is located outside the regeneration tower. A second baffle 4 is provided at the lower part of the lower tower 2. A second air chamber 6 is provided on the second baffle 4. A second structured packing layer 11 is provided between the semi-rich liquid spraying mechanism 16 and the second air chamber 6. The chamber between the second baffle 4 and the second structured packing layer 11 is for semi-lean liquid. The chamber 13, located below the second partition 4, is the lean liquid chamber 14. The semi-lean liquid chamber 13 and the lean liquid chamber 14 are connected by a semi-lean liquid conveying pipe 15. The semi-lean liquid conveying pipe 15 is located outside the lower tower 2, and a heat exchanger 17 is installed on the semi-lean liquid conveying pipe 15 to heat the semi-lean liquid flowing out of the semi-lean liquid chamber 13 to form a lean liquid and regeneration gas flow, which is then conveyed to the lean liquid chamber 14. A lean liquid output channel 18 connected to the lean liquid chamber 14 is connected to the bottom of the lower tower 2.
[0025] The working process of the absorbent regeneration of this utility model is as follows:
[0026] The absorbent (which has different stages such as rich liquid, semi-rich liquid, semi-lean liquid, and lean liquid) flows from top to bottom within the regeneration tower and undergoes related reactions, while the regeneration gas flows from bottom to top within the regeneration tower and undergoes related reactions. The specific flow paths of the liquid and regeneration gas flows will now be explained in detail:
[0027] The flow path of the absorbent: The rich liquid spraying mechanism 8 sprays out the rich liquid, so that the rich liquid comes into full contact with the high-temperature regeneration gas flow from the lower tower 2 into the upper tower 1 in the first structured packing layer 10. After the rich liquid is heated by the regeneration gas flow and precipitates sulfides, it becomes a semi-rich liquid and accumulates in the semi-rich liquid cavity 12 at the bottom of the upper tower 1. The semi-rich liquid is transported to the semi-rich liquid spraying mechanism 16 through the semi-rich liquid conveying pipe 19 and sprayed into the lower tower 2. The semi-rich liquid comes into full contact with the regeneration gas flow in the lower tower 2 in the second structured packing layer 11. The semi-rich liquid is heated by the regeneration gas flow and further precipitates sulfides, becoming a semi-lean liquid. The semi-lean liquid accumulates in the semi-lean liquid cavity 13 of the lower tower 2. Then, the semi-lean liquid is heated by the semi-lean liquid conveying pipe 15 and its heat exchanger 17 to become a lean liquid and is transported to the lean liquid cavity 14. The lean liquid in the lean liquid cavity 14 is output to the outside of the regeneration tower through the lean liquid output channel 18, thereby completing the regeneration process of the absorbent. Meanwhile, the semi-lean liquid, after being heated and precipitating sulfides, forms a regeneration gas flow that enters the lean liquid chamber 14 at the bottom of the lower tower 2 and flows upward.
[0028] The regeneration gas flow path: The regeneration gas flow in the lean liquid chamber 14 at the bottom of the lower tower 2 enters the semi-lean liquid chamber 13 through the second gas tower 6, so that the semi-rich liquid and the regeneration gas flow in the semi-lean liquid chamber 13 are in full contact in the second structured packing layer 11. The semi-rich liquid is heated by the regeneration gas flow and sulfides are precipitated, thus becoming semi-lean liquid. The regeneration gas flow continues to flow upward and enters the semi-rich liquid chamber 12 through the first gas tower 5, so that the rich liquid and the regeneration gas flow are in full contact in the first structured packing layer 10. The rich liquid is heated by the regeneration gas flow and sulfides are precipitated, thus becoming semi-rich liquid. After that, the regeneration gas flow continues to flow upward. After the regeneration gas flow passes through the third structured packing layer 9 to remove the absorbent, it flows out through the regeneration gas output channel 7.
[0029] The above technical solution involves dividing the absorbent into different stages—rich, semi-rich, semi-lean, and lean—that flow sequentially from top to bottom, while the regeneration gas flows sequentially from bottom to top. This allows the absorbent at different stages to react with the regeneration gas flow, thereby regenerating the absorbent through gas desulfurization. This effectively improves the regeneration efficiency of the absorbent and saves energy consumption. Furthermore, the regeneration tower of the absorbent regeneration device adopts a vertical tower structure, which greatly saves floor space.
[0030] In this embodiment, the first gas tower 5 and the second gas tower 6 have the function of connecting and guiding gas flow. The regeneration gas flow in the lean liquid chamber 14 flows into the semi-lean liquid chamber 13 through the second gas tower 6, and the regeneration gas flow in the lower tower 2 flows into the upper tower 1 through the first gas tower 5.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first partition 3 is an arc-shaped partition that gradually curves downward from the edge to the center, so that the semi-rich liquid chamber 12 can store more semi-rich liquid. The first gas tower 5 is located in the middle of the first partition 3, so that the regeneration gas flow flows and disperses from the middle to the surrounding area, thereby making the regeneration gas flow and the rich liquid more fully contacted.
[0032] In this embodiment, the rich liquid spraying mechanism 8 includes a rich liquid spraying pipe 81 and rich liquid nozzles 82 installed on the rich liquid spraying pipe 81. The rich liquid spraying pipe 81 is horizontally arranged, and there are multiple rich liquid nozzles 82. The multiple rich liquid nozzles 82 are horizontally arranged at the bottom of the rich liquid spraying pipe 81, so that the spraying of rich liquid is more uniform and the contact with the regeneration gas flow is more sufficient, resulting in a better regeneration effect of the absorbent liquid.
[0033] In this embodiment, the third structured packing layer 9 is a wire mesh, which allows the regeneration gas flow to more fully remove the absorbent after passing through the third structured packing layer 9.
[0034] In this embodiment, the semi-rich liquid spraying mechanism 16 includes a semi-rich liquid spraying pipe 161 and semi-rich liquid nozzles 162 installed on the semi-rich liquid spraying pipe 161. The semi-rich liquid spraying pipe 161 is horizontally arranged, and there are multiple semi-rich liquid nozzles 162. The multiple semi-rich liquid nozzles 162 are horizontally arranged at the bottom of the semi-rich liquid spraying pipe 161, so that the spraying of the semi-rich liquid is more uniform and the contact with the regeneration gas flow is more sufficient, resulting in a better regeneration effect of the absorbent liquid.
