Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of non-ferrous metal smelting technology, specifically, it relates to a novel flue gas acid production and purification sprayer. Background Technology

[0002] There is a copper smelting unit with an annual production capacity of 200 kt / a. The waste gas from copper smelting is purified and used to produce sulfuric acid. Frequent shutdowns are caused by overflow protection water interruption in the primary power wave high-efficiency scrubber of the main purification equipment, which burns the scrubber wall. Sometimes, production also stops due to excessively thick layers of mineral dust and other particulate matter adhering to the scrubber's reverse nozzle, reducing the flue gas flow and resulting in a decrease in the amount of sulfuric acid processed. A single shutdown results in direct and indirect losses totaling tens of millions of yuan. The reasons for this are as follows: the flue gas input for purification in copper smelting reaches 152,000 Nm3 / h, and the SO3 introduced combines with the washing liquid to form dilute sulfuric acid, which corrodes the equipment; the flue gas contains mineral dust, arsenic and other compounds that stick and wear the equipment; the 250°C high temperature brought by the flue gas collides with the washing liquid, causing the washing liquid to absorb heat and boil, and the flue gas disperses the washing liquid into small droplets that move with the flue gas in the reverse spray pipe of the scrubber, filling all corners of the scrubber; some mineral dust impurities enter the overflow tank and block and adhere to the overflow tank, preventing the overflow liquid from overflowing, so no water curtain is generated on the wall of the vessel, and the high temperature flue gas burns out the reverse spray pipe.

[0003] Problems arise when process conditions change. For example, copper ore powder contains trace amounts of arsenic. After the arsenic burns at high temperatures, it enters the purification scrubber along with the ore dust. The scrubbing liquid reacts with the flue gas, collecting ore dust, arsenic, and other particulate matter. Arsenic-containing ore dust is highly adhesive and easily adheres to the scrubber walls. These ore dust and other impurities enter the overflow tank and stick to the bottom and walls, making it impossible to remove the ore dust using circulating liquid. The small droplets of ore dust produced by the collision and reaction of the scrubbing liquid with the high-temperature flue gas also stick to the walls of the reverse spray pipe. The overflow liquid forms an uneven water curtain protection wall, and the water curtain can only flow downwards without impact force, making it unable to remove this type of scale. As the mixture of ore dust and other impurities accumulates, the cross-sectional area of ​​the scrubber's reverse spray pipe decreases, making production impossible and ultimately requiring shutdown for maintenance.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0038] Example 3: Based on Examples 1 and 2, specifically as follows... Figure 8 As shown, the injection control valve 25 is connected to a computer for system control. During operation, the computer opens the required number of valves as needed. This facilitates rapid control of the injection control valve 25.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the spray angle of the water jet in the jet flushing pipe 23 is 34°. The sprayed liquid can be aimed at the outer wall of the overflow tank, and a single flushing session of 3-5 minutes can complete the removal of sticky mineral dust. The total spray volume of the jet flushing pipe 23 is approximately 410 m³ / h, the pump outlet pressure is 0.5 MPa, and the temperature is 60-65℃. The high-efficiency scrubber (reverse spray pipe) operates with 8 sets of sprayers during normal operation, and is fully open during shutdown flushing and emergency response. All spraying liquid is 3%-5% dilute sulfuric acid, which is highly corrosive. The sprayed liquid has a pressure of 0.6 kPa inside the pipe. For safety reasons, all pipeline valves are made of SMO254, and the baffle material added to the shell and liquid flow tank is the same as that of the spray pipe. This ensures that the sprayed liquid thoroughly flushes the outer wall of the overflow tank.

[0040] In summary, the structure of the jet flushing pipe 23 and the jet self-control valve 25 achieves the purpose of thoroughly flushing the outer wall of the overflow tank, reducing the accumulation of dirt, and optimizing the user experience of the device.

[0041] Working principle: Upon opening the main inlet flow control valve 20, the pumped liquid enters the annular inlet pipe 14 via the inlet pipe 19, and is then transported to the jet flushing pipe 23 via the first delivery pipe 22. Eighteen sets of jet flushing pipes 23 (jet water line angle 34°) flush the outer wall of the overflow tank. Each flushing session lasts 3-5 minutes and removes sticky mineral dust. The total spray volume is approximately 410 m³ / h. The pump outlet pressure is 0.5 MPa, and the temperature is 60-65℃. The jet liquid is a 3%-5% dilute sulfuric acid solution. The pipeline valves are made of SMO254. The shell and the liquid flow tank have additional baffles made of the same material as the jet pipes. The annular inlet pipe 14 is fixed by the first fixing plate 13 and the first limiting plate 15. The first limiting sleeve 17 and the second... The limiting plate 18 assists in fixing the annular inlet pipe 14. The purification sprayer 10 is installed and fixed through the upper flange 11 and lower flange 12 of the connecting flue gas pipe. The first delivery pipe 22 is limited and fixed through the limiting hole 21. The output pump box 33 is assisted in fixing through the connecting plate 16. After flue gas flushing, some water vapor condenses on the first output pipe 31. Through the second annular baffle 28 and the second conical baffle 29, the condensate is guided through the condensation mesh plate 30 to the top of the first annular baffle 26, and then output through the first output pipe 31, the output pump box 33 and the third output pipe 34. The spray self-control valve 25 is connected to the computer for system control. During operation, the number of valves opened is determined by the computer according to the requirements, which facilitates rapid control.
