Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of activated carbon filters, specifically an activated carbon chemical filter for removing VOCs. Background Technology

[0002] Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are common and ubiquitous air pollutants. Common components include hydrocarbons, benzene compounds, alcohols, ketones, phenols, aldehydes, esters, amines, and nitriles (cyanides). VOCs undergo photochemical reactions under sunlight, leading to increases in photochemical smog, secondary organic aerosols, and atmospheric organic acids. This can damage the ozone layer, is a significant cause of haze (PM2.5), and also exhibits toxicity, irritant properties, and carcinogenicity, posing a considerable threat to human health.

[0003] VOCs mainly originate from two sources: stationary sources and mobile sources. Mobile sources primarily include emissions from vehicles such as automobiles, ships, and airplanes that use petroleum products as fuel. Stationary sources are diverse, mainly consisting of emissions from petrochemical processes and storage equipment, as well as various applications using organic solvents, such as painting, printing, metal degreasing and greasing, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and plastics and rubber processing. Therefore, VOC recovery and treatment are of great importance to these industries.

[0004] Currently, the main technologies used for VOC recovery fall into two categories: physical methods and chemical methods. Physical methods primarily enrich and separate VOCs by changing temperature and pressure, or by using selective adsorbents and selective permeation membranes. Chemical methods include direct combustion, thermal oxidation, catalytic combustion, biological oxidation, plasma methods, ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation, and their integrated technologies. These methods mainly use chemical or biochemical reactions, employing heat, light, catalysts, or microorganisms to transform VOCs into non-toxic inorganic small molecule compounds such as CO2 and water. Traditionally, VOC waste gas treatment often employs adsorption or absorption removal, or combustion removal. While these traditional methods are simple in principle and easy to implement, they all have certain drawbacks and limitations. For example, adsorption methods have a high selectivity and dependence on adsorbents, and most adsorbents gradually lose their activity after repeated long-term use, thus requiring replacement every three to five years. Although combustion methods can convert most of the organic matter in VOCs into environmentally harmless H2O and CO2, the complex composition of VOCs and the varying combustion temperatures, coupled with excessive air intake leading to high fuel consumption and reduced furnace temperature causing incomplete combustion, can easily cause secondary pollution to the environment.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] See Figures 1-5In this embodiment of the utility model, an activated carbon chemical filter for removing VOCs includes a heat absorption tank 1 and an adsorption tank 2. A connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected between the heat absorption tank 1 and the adsorption tank 2, and a compressor 4 is fixedly installed inside the connecting pipe 3.

[0025] A first evaporator 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat absorption tank 1, and a first heat-conducting block 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat absorption tank 1. One end of the first heat-conducting block 11 is disposed inside the heat absorption tank 1, and the other end of the first heat-conducting block 11 is disposed inside the first evaporator 12.

[0026] A second evaporator 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adsorption tank 2, and a second heat-conducting block 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adsorption tank 2. One end of the second heat-conducting block 17 is located inside the adsorption tank 2, and the other end of the second heat-conducting block 17 is located inside the second evaporator 18.

[0027] The bottom of the heat absorption tank 1 is fixedly connected to a first threaded mounting seat 5, and the first threaded mounting seat 5 is internally threaded to a first sealing thread head 6. The top of the heat absorption tank 1 is fixedly connected to a sealing connecting pipe 8, and a sealing connecting cylinder 9 is slidably connected to the sealing connecting pipe 8. A filter element 10 is fixedly connected between the sealing connecting cylinder 9 and the first sealing thread head 6.

[0028] The bottom of the adsorption tank 2 is fixedly connected to a second threaded mounting base 13. The second threaded mounting base 13 is internally threaded to a second sealing thread head 14. A positioning rod 15 is fixedly connected to the second sealing thread head 14. An activated carbon adsorption cylinder 16 is slidably connected to the positioning rod 15.

[0029] The heat absorption tank 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the connector 7, the adsorption tank 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the air outlet pipe 19, the air outlet pipe 19 is equipped with a pressure reducing and stabilizing valve 20, and the adsorption tank 2 is provided with an exhaust port 21.

[0030] This utility model connects to an exhaust device via connector 7, and injects flue gas into the heat absorption tank 1 through the exhaust device. During this process, the filter element 10 filters out dust from the flue gas. The gas then passes through the filter element 10 and enters the heat absorption tank 1. At this point, the heat in the heat absorption tank 1 can be discharged through the first heat-conducting block 11 and the first evaporator 12. Then, the low-temperature flue gas is drawn into the compressor 4 along the connecting pipe 3 by the compressor 4, thereby compressing the low-temperature flue gas. The compressed flue gas is discharged into the adsorption tank 2. As the compressor 4 compresses the gas in the heat absorption tank 1 and injects it into the adsorption tank 2, the gas pressure in the adsorption tank 2 gradually increases. As the pressure in the adsorption tank 2 increases, the temperature in the adsorption tank 2 gradually rises. At this point, the gas can be discharged through the second heat-conducting block 17 and the first evaporator 12. The second evaporator 18 removes heat from the adsorption tank 2. At this time, the temperature inside the adsorption tank 2 decreases and the pressure increases. The VOC gas in the flue gas condenses and settles. Then, when the gas pressure exceeds the safety value of the pressure reducing and stabilizing valve 20, the pressure reducing and stabilizing valve 20 opens, and the remaining gas is discharged along the outlet pipe 19. At this time, the VOC gas condensed and settled in the adsorption tank 2 can be adsorbed by the activated carbon adsorption cylinder 16. Then, when it is necessary to discharge the VOC adsorbed by the activated carbon in the adsorption tank 2, simply open the exhaust port 21 and connect the suction device to the exhaust port 21. At this time, as the gas in the adsorption tank 2 is discharged, the gas pressure in the adsorption tank 2 decreases. At this time, the condensed VOC gas adsorbed by the activated carbon adsorption cylinder 16 evaporates rapidly under pressure, and the evaporated VOC is discharged along the exhaust port 21.

[0031] Furthermore, the present invention can facilitate the quick disassembly, cleaning and replacement of the filter element 10 through the threaded connection between the first threaded mounting base 5 and the first sealing threaded head 6, and can also facilitate the quick replacement of the activated carbon adsorption cylinder 16 through the threaded connection between the first threaded mounting base 5 and the first sealing threaded head 6.
