Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high and low temperature gas mixing technology, specifically relating to a mixer that effectively achieves uniform mixing of high and low temperature gases. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial applications, there is often a need to mix high- and low-temperature gases to meet specific process requirements. Existing mixing methods typically employ a three-way connector. This method often results in uneven mixing of the high-temperature and low-temperature gases, affecting not only the overall temperature and composition consistency of the mixture but also directly reducing the production efficiency and product quality of subsequent processes. The root cause of this uneven mixing problem lies in the simple design of the three-way connector, which lacks an effective mixing mechanism to promote sufficient exchange and fusion between the gases.
[0003] The waste sulfuric acid regeneration process involves a step of thoroughly mixing low-temperature acidic process gas with high-temperature air to increase oxygen content and process gas temperature. Traditional three-way mixing methods struggle to achieve rapid and uniform mixing when dealing with these two gases with significantly different properties. This not only affects the efficiency of waste sulfuric acid regeneration but can also lead to a series of problems such as accelerated equipment corrosion, increased energy consumption, and unstable quality of the regenerated product due to uneven mixing.
[0004] Therefore, existing high and low temperature gas mixing technologies, especially in the application of waste sulfuric acid regeneration processes, have obvious drawbacks such as uneven mixing and low efficiency. There is an urgent need for a more advanced and efficient mixing solution to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments, and the features and advantages of the present invention will become clearer and more explicit with these descriptions.
[0047] The high and low temperature gas mixer provided by this utility model includes a hot air distributor 401, a mixing chamber 402, a process gas inlet 403, and a mixed gas process gas outlet 404.
[0048] The mixing chamber 402 has a process gas inlet 403 at the bottom and a mixed process gas outlet 404 at the top. The bottom end of the mixed process gas outlet 404 is connected to the top of the mixing chamber 402, and it is a side outlet in an inverted L-shape, as shown in the figure below. Figure 1 As shown.
[0049] The hot air distributor 401 is a long cylindrical shape, inserted from the top of the mixed process gas outlet 404. Hot air enters from the top of the hot air distributor 401, and the bottom is the outlet. The bottom of the hot air distributor 401 is located in the middle or upper region of the mixing chamber 402. Preferably, the lower section of the hot air distributor 401 is provided with uniformly distributed distribution holes 4011, so that part of the hot air entering from the top of the hot air distributor 401 mixes countercurrently with the low-temperature acidic process gas through the bottom outlet of the long cylinder of the hot air distributor 401, and the other part of the air is ejected through the distribution holes 4011 and fully mixed with the mixed gas coming out of the mixing chamber 402 before entering the mixed process gas outlet 404 and leaving the mixer.
[0050] The diameter ratio of the distribution hole 4011 to the hot air distributor 401 is (60-160):600, preferably (70-140):600, more preferably (80-120):600, and the number of distribution holes 4011 is 10-40, preferably 16-24. The size and number of distribution holes 4011 can be adjusted according to the actual air volume. A suitable diameter ratio of the distribution hole 4011 to the hot air distributor 401 allows air to be ejected from the side distribution holes while maintaining a suitable flow rate and pressure of the air at the bottom outlet of the air distributor, ensuring the effect of counter-current mixing and lateral mixing.
[0051] Preferably, the ratio of the length of the hot air distributor 401 entering the mixing chamber 402 to the height of the mixing chamber 402 is (350-950):1540, more preferably (450-850):1540, and even more preferably (550-750):1540.
[0052] Preferably, the hot air temperature is 200~800℃, more preferably 300~600℃, and the temperature of the low-temperature acidic process gas is 0~100℃, more preferably 0~80℃.
[0053] In the mixing chamber 402, a support brick layer 4021 is disposed close to the shell. This layer is formed by a plurality of slotted support bricks arranged in a staggered manner. The support bricks have honeycomb-shaped square channels inside, serving as a sidewall insulation layer. Preferably, the inner wall of the mixing chamber 402 shell is lined with PFA (tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkoxy vinyl ether copolymer), and a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) gasket is disposed close to the PFA liner to prevent corrosion from acidic gases.
[0054] The two end connecting surfaces of the supporting brick are provided with end face positioning grooves 211, and the lower connecting surfaces of the vertically arranged supporting bricks are provided with through strip grooves 212 that penetrate the lower connecting surfaces of the supporting bricks laterally, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.
[0055] Within the same horizontal layer, the support bricks are arranged horizontally end-to-end, with the end face positioning grooves 211 on the connecting surfaces aligned to form positioning slots, where the lower half of a circular fixing piece 213 is placed. The through-slot 212 of the upper layer support brick accommodates the upper half of the circular fixing piece 213, thus fixing the positions of the upper and lower layer support bricks in the direction perpendicular to the circular fixing piece 213, as detailed below. Figure 3 As shown. The total depth of the end face positioning groove 211 and the through strip groove 212 is greater than the diameter of the circular fixing piece 213, so that the connecting surfaces of the upper and lower supporting bricks are in close contact. The circular fixing piece 213 is a ceramic fixing piece.
[0056] The supporting brick layer 4021 extends to the top of the mixing chamber. An L-shaped fixing plate 214 is installed on top of the supporting brick layer 4021. The front bent portion of the fixing plate 214 snaps downwards to secure the supporting brick layer 4021, while the horizontal portion extends and is fixed to the top or side wall of the mixing chamber 402, thus firmly fixing the supporting brick layer 4021 to the side wall of the mixing chamber 402. Specifically, as shown... Figure 5 As shown.
[0057] The bottom of the mixing chamber 402 is provided with a layer of distributing bricks 4022, which is formed by vertically contacting distributing bricks. The distributing bricks have vertically honeycomb-shaped square channels inside. The bottom surface of the mixing chamber 402 is provided with equally spaced square hollow steel sections 221. Strip-shaped notches 222 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the distributing section. The distributing bricks are placed vertically on the square hollow steel sections 221. The strip-shaped notches 222 on the distributing section are in close contact with the upper end and side surfaces of two adjacent square hollow steel sections 221, specifically as follows... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown. Preferably, the square hollow steel section 221 is wrapped with a PFA liner, and a PTFE gasket is placed between the square hollow steel section 221 and the distribution brick. The center-to-center distance between any two square hollow steel sections 221 is based on the width of the distribution brick in the direction of the two square hollow steel sections 221, specifically as shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown.
[0058] The ratio of the height of the distribution brick layer 4022 to the height of the mixing chamber 402 is (150-450):1540, preferably (200-400):1540, and more preferably (250-350):1540.
[0059] The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the distribution brick to the cross-sectional area of the distribution brick layer 4022 is (80-220):1225, preferably (100-200):1225, and more preferably (120-180):1225.
[0060] The process gas inlet 403 is connected to the bottom of the mixing chamber 402. After the process gas enters the mixing chamber 402 through the process gas inlet 403, it is dispersed by the distribution brick layer 4022. Inside the mixing chamber 402, it is fully mixed with the hot air entering through the hot air distributor 401, and then discharged through the process gas outlet 404 on the side. The process gas inlet 403 is lined with a PFA layer to prevent corrosion from acidic gases.
[0061] In this invention, the low-temperature acidic process gas and hot air entering from the bottom process gas inlet 403 are dispersed and rapidly mixed by the distribution brick layer 4022 and the hot air distributor 401 to obtain a uniformly mixed gas.
[0062] The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the process gas inlet 403 to the cross-sectional area of the distribution brick layer 4022 is (0.9-2.7):5, preferably (1.1-2.3):5, and more preferably (1.3-1.9):5.
[0063] The diameter ratio of the process air inlet 403 to the hot air distributor 401 is (0.6-1.6):1, preferably (0.7-1.4):1, and more preferably (0.8-1.2):1.
[0064] Preferably, the process gas inlet 403 is provided with a pressure sensor monitoring port and / or a temperature monitoring port, which are used to house the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor, respectively.
[0065] The high and low temperature gas mixer provided in this utility model achieves rapid dispersion and mixing of hot air and low temperature acidic process gas through the rational design of the hot air distributor 401 and the mixing chamber 402. This achieves the purpose of rapidly increasing and adjusting the temperature and oxygen content of the process gas, and the mixing is rapid and uniform, ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent processes.
