Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown.

[0027] A dechlorination device for bleaching liquor in calcium hypochlorite production includes a bleaching liquor tank 1, a reduction vessel 3, a vacuum dechlorination tower 6, a neutralization tank 8, and a tail gas alkaline absorption tower 12.

[0028] The bleaching solution tank 1 is constructed of concrete. Its inlet is connected to the bleaching solution source in calcium hypochlorite production, and its outlet is connected to the inlet of the reduction reactor 3 via a bleaching solution transfer pump 2, thus allowing for temporary storage of the bleaching solution. Preferably, the bleaching solution tank 1 is equipped with a liquid level monitoring device, which can detect the liquid level in the tank and control the flow rate of the bleaching solution flowing into it to achieve a stable supply to the reduction reactor.

[0029] The outlet of the reduction vessel 3 is connected to the circulation port of the reduction vessel via the vessel liquid circulation pump 4, forming a vessel liquid circulation pipeline. This vessel liquid circulation pipeline is connected to the liquid phase inlet of the vacuum dechlorination tower 6, so that part of the vessel liquid flows into the vacuum dechlorination tower 6 and the other part flows back into the reduction vessel to continue the reaction.

[0030] The exhaust port of the reduction vessel 3 is connected to the gas phase inlet of the tail gas alkaline absorption tower 12, so that the chlorine-containing tail gas generated by the reaction is fed into the tail gas alkaline absorption tower for treatment. Simultaneously, the hydrochloric acid feed port on the reduction vessel 3 is connected to an external hydrochloric acid source, so that hydrochloric acid can be supplied to meet the reaction requirements. Preferably, the reduction vessel 3 is equipped with a liquid level control device to monitor the internal liquid level and ensure safety.

[0031] Furthermore, the reactor liquid circulation pipeline is also equipped with an online pH monitor, which is electrically connected to the first shut-off valve 19 located at the hydrochloric acid feed port. Thus, the opening and closing of the first shut-off valve can be controlled according to the detected pH value to ensure that the pH value in the reduction reactor meets the requirements.

[0032] The vacuum dechlorination tower 6 can efficiently absorb free chlorine in waste liquid under vacuum conditions through a gas-liquid countercurrent contact mechanism, significantly reducing the chlorine content of the waste liquid. The outlet of the vacuum dechlorination tower 6 is connected to the inlet of the tail gas alkaline absorption tower, so that the generated chlorine-containing tail gas is combined with the tail gas from the reduction reactor and then transported to the tail gas alkaline absorption tower. At the same time, the lower and upper parts of the vacuum dechlorination tower 6 are respectively provided with a circulation outlet and a circulation inlet, and these circulation outlets and inlets are connected to the vacuum dechlorination tower circulation pump 5 through a vacuum dechlorination tower circulation pipeline to circulate the feed liquid in the vacuum dechlorination tower.

[0033] The neutralization tank 8 is constructed of concrete. Its inlet is connected to the residual liquid outlet of the vacuum dechlorination tower 6 via a vacuum dechlorination tower discharge pump 7. Its outlet is connected to a discharge pipeline, and its calcium hydroxide feed port is connected to a calcium hydroxide solution source. This allows the residual liquid from the vacuum dechlorination tower to be fed into the tank, where the calcium hydroxide solution undergoes an acid-base neutralization reaction with the residual liquid. Once the pH value meets the discharge standards, the liquid is discharged through the discharge pipe. Preferably, the neutralization tank 8 is equipped with an online pH monitoring system to detect the pH value and ensure that the treated wastewater meets the neutral discharge standard. Simultaneously, the discharge pipe is equipped with a self-priming tank 9 and a transfer pump 10 to ensure smooth discharge.

[0034] The tail gas alkaline absorption tower 12 is a high-efficiency spray tower, mainly made of FRP with an anti-corrosion lining. It achieves efficient absorption through the chemical reaction between alkaline solution and chlorine gas, and simultaneously converts chlorine gas into reusable sodium hypochlorite. The bottom of the tail gas alkaline absorption tower 12 is equipped with an alkaline solution feed port, which can be connected to an external alkaline solution source for timely addition of sodium hydroxide solution.

[0035] The outlet of the tail gas alkaline absorption tower 12 is connected to the chimney 16 after passing through the induced draft fan 15, so as to stably discharge the tail gas.

[0036] The drain outlet of the tail gas alkaline absorption tower 12 sequentially passes through the alkaline circulation pump 14, the alkaline circulation cooler 13, the ORP instrument, and the second shut-off valve, and then connects to the alkaline liquid circulation port located at the top of the tail gas alkaline absorption tower 12, forming an alkaline liquid circulation pipeline. This allows the reacted solution to be reintroduced into the tower for further reaction, ensuring complete reaction. Simultaneously, this alkaline liquid circulation pipeline sequentially passes through the third shut-off valve 20, the buffer tank 17, and the buffer tank transfer pump 18, and then connects to the calcium hypochlorite production line, allowing the sodium hypochlorite solution from the alkaline absorption of waste chlorine to be reused as a calcium hypochlorite raw material.

[0037] The ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential) meter is electrically connected to both the second shut-off valve 21 and the third shut-off valve 20. Therefore, based on the ORP value of the solution in the alkali circulation pipeline, the meter determines the opening and closing of the second shut-off valve and the third shut-off valve. Specifically, if the ORP value does not meet the set value, the third shut-off valve 20 closes, the second shut-off valve 21 opens, and the solution returns to the tail gas alkali absorption tower for recycling. If the ORP value meets the set value, the third shut-off valve 20 opens, the second shut-off valve 21 closes, and the solution flows through the buffer tank to the calcium hypochlorite production line.

[0038] The alkali circulation cooler 13 can cool the circulating liquid material to meet production requirements. The cooling medium of the alkali circulation cooler 13 can be cooling water, which is convenient to use.

[0039] Furthermore, the inlet of the tail gas alkali absorption tower 12 is equipped with a tail gas transfer pump 11 to improve transmission efficiency. Moreover, the tail gas alkali absorption tower can be configured as a single tower, a dual-tower series operation, or a three-tower multi-stage configuration, depending on the operating conditions, to fully meet production needs.

[0040] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0041] (1) The bleaching solution is temporarily stored in a bleaching solution tank, and the liquid level is controlled by a liquid level monitoring device. Then, the bleaching solution is transported to the reduction reactor by a bleaching solution transfer pump, and 32% industrial hydrochloric acid is injected into the reduction reactor at the same time to carry out an oxidation-reduction reaction, generate chlorine gas and release heat of reaction;

[0042] (2) The mixture after the reaction is divided into two paths by the reactor liquid circulation pump: part of it is returned to the reduction reactor for circulation reaction, and part of it is sent to the vacuum dechlorination tower; during this period, the pH value of the mixture is monitored by the pH online monitoring instrument, and the opening and closing of the first shut-off valve is controlled accordingly to ensure that the pH value in the reduction reactor meets the production requirements.

[0043] (3) The vacuum dechlorination tower achieves efficient absorption of free chlorine in the waste liquid through a gas-liquid countercurrent contact mechanism, and circulates the feed liquid through the vacuum dechlorination tower circulation pump. The escaped chlorine gas is sent to the tail gas alkali absorption tower through the tail gas transfer pump.

[0044] (4) The dechlorination residue is pumped from the vacuum dechlorination tower to the neutralization tank and neutralized with 20% calcium hydroxide solution (temperature ≤50℃). The waste liquid with pH ≥7 after neutralization is discharged through the self-priming tank and the transfer pump.

[0045] (5) The chlorine-containing tail gas generated by the reduction reactor and vacuum dechlorination tower is transported to the tail gas alkali absorption tower via a tail gas transfer pump. A suitable concentration (32%) sodium hydroxide solution is used for countercurrent absorption within the tower, and the alkali absorption solution is circulated and cooled by an alkali circulation cooler and an alkali circulation pump. After the chlorine content in the treated tail gas meets national emission standards, it is discharged into the chimney via an induced draft fan. Simultaneously, fresh alkali solution is replenished to the vacuum dechlorination tower as needed to maintain absorption efficiency.

[0046] (6) During the absorption of chlorine-containing tail gas in the vacuum dechlorination tower, sodium hypochlorite solution is generated simultaneously. This sodium hypochlorite solution flows out from the bottom of the tower and enters the alkali circulation pipeline, and the ORP value of the solution is monitored by an ORP instrument. If it does not meet the set value, the third shut-off valve is closed and the second shut-off valve is opened, and the solution flows back to the tail gas alkali absorption tower for circulation reaction; if it meets the set value, the third shut-off valve is opened and the second shut-off valve is closed, so that the solution flows to the buffer tank, and then flows to the calcium hypochlorite production after passing through the buffer tank transfer pump, realizing reuse.

[0047] All the devices described in this utility model are conventional equipment in the art. However, through the inventive process design of this application, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0048] 1) By continuously adding hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide, the dechlorination of bleaching liquor and the resource utilization of waste chlorine gas were realized, and the dechlorination waste liquid could be used as brine extraction water, and the sodium hypochlorite that absorbs waste chlorine with alkali could be reused as raw material for the bleaching powder unit.

[0049] (2) By equipping the system with instruments and valves such as pH meter, liquid level control, and shut-off valve, the automation level is improved, and by precisely controlling key parameters such as pH value and liquid level, the reaction process is ensured to be stable and reliable, and manual intervention is significantly reduced;

[0050] (3) The process is simple and efficient. Only kettles, tanks, pumps and towers are needed to complete the waste liquid treatment, which greatly reduces energy consumption and investment costs.

[0051] The parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies.
