Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of hydrogen recovery equipment, specifically relating to a hydrogen recovery device for carbon nanotube production. Background Technology

[0002] In the large-scale production of carbon nanotubes, chemical vapor deposition is the mainstream process. Its reaction tail gas usually contains 20-50% unreacted hydrogen, 10-30% methane, 5-15% carbon monoxide, and trace amounts of carbon dioxide and nanoscale carbon particles.

[0003] Current hydrogen recovery equipment for carbon nanotube production typically uses membrane separation to filter the reacted gas mixture and separate the hydrogen. However, most recovery equipment has poorly designed tank structures. When the filter membrane needs replacement, the tank structure limits access, requiring workers to spend considerable time and effort disassembling numerous components to reach the membrane. This not only increases maintenance costs but also leads to excessive downtime, impacting the normal production schedule of carbon nanotubes.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to design a hydrogen recovery device for carbon nanotube production. Utility Model Content

[0012] The first external thread and the first internal thread are threaded together; and

[0013] A sealing ring is suitable for placement between the first external thread portion and the first internal thread portion.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper tank is equipped with an air inlet pipe; wherein

[0015] The upper part of the air inlet pipe penetrates the top of the upper tank;

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model. Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a hydrogen recovery device for carbon nanotube production, including:

[0035] The separator 1 includes an upper tank 11 and a lower tank 12; wherein the upper tank 11 and the lower tank 12 are movably connected; at least one separation membrane 2 is disposed inside the upper tank 11 and located at the bottom of the upper tank 11; wherein the bottom of the upper tank 11 and the top of the lower tank 12 are movably connected by, but not limited to, a flange quick-release structure, and a double O-ring is provided between the flanges to ensure sealing; wherein the separation membrane 2 is, but not limited to, a palladium membrane, to have high selectivity and permeability for hydrogen.

[0036] In this embodiment, the separation tank 1 is composed of an upper tank 11 and a lower tank 12, and the upper tank 11 and the lower tank 12 are movably connected. When the upper tank 11 and the lower tank 12 are separated, the separation membrane 2 is set at the bottom of the upper tank 11, thereby achieving the effect of easy and quick disassembly of the separation membrane 2.

[0037] The bottom of the upper tank 11 is provided with a first external thread 111; the top of the lower tank 12 is provided with a first internal thread 121; wherein the first external thread 111 and the first internal thread 121 are threaded together; and a sealing ring is adapted to be placed between the first external thread 111 and the first internal thread 121; wherein by providing the first external thread 111 and the first internal thread 121, installation or disassembly can be completed by hand without the aid of external tools, thereby reducing maintenance difficulty; wherein by adapting to place a sealing ring between the first external thread 111 and the first internal thread 121, a sealing effect is achieved.

[0038] The upper tank 11 is provided with an air inlet pipe 3; the upper part of the air inlet pipe 3 penetrates the top of the upper tank 11; the upper part of the air inlet pipe 3 is provided with a second external thread 31; the lower part of the air inlet pipe 3 is located inside the lower tank 12; and the separation membrane 2 is sleeved on the air inlet pipe 3; wherein the second external thread 31 is provided to facilitate the connection of the air inlet pipe 3 with other connecting parts; wherein the lower part of the contact between the separation membrane 2 and the air inlet pipe 3 and the inner wall of the upper tank 11 is sealed with, but not limited to, sealant to prevent gas from leaking from the installation contact point, thereby preventing impurity in hydrogen recovery.

[0039] The upper side of the upper tank 11 is connected to a hydrogen outlet pipe 4; the inner side of the hydrogen outlet pipe 4 is provided with a second internal thread 41; by providing the hydrogen outlet pipe 4 and the second internal thread 41, the effect of facilitating connection with the hydrogen storage tank is achieved.

[0041] In this embodiment, the principle of hydrogen recovery is as follows: the hydrogen-containing mixed gas enters the lower tank 12 through the inlet pipe 3. Due to the low density of hydrogen, it will spontaneously rise in the mixed gas. The hydrogen passes through the separation membrane 2 and enters the upper tank 11, and is transported to the storage tank through the hydrogen outlet pipe 4. The gas that does not pass through accumulates in the lower tank 12 and is discharged from the exhaust pipe 5 to the subsequent processing unit when the valve 6 is opened.

[0042] All the devices selected in this application (parts whose specific structures are not specified) are general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
