Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto:
[0028] like Figure 1A tail gas treatment system for chlorinated polyethylene process includes a water washing tower 1 and an alkaline washing tower 4. The bottom of the water washing tower 1 is connected to a water washing liquid return tank 2, which is connected to the upper part of the water washing tower 1 via a water washing liquid circulation pump 3. The bottom of the water washing tower 1 is equipped with an input end for the device's tail gas. The top of the water washing tower 1 is connected to the lower part of the alkaline washing tower 4, and the bottom of the alkaline washing tower 4 is connected to an alkaline solution return tank 5, which is connected to the upper part of the alkaline washing tower 4 via an alkaline solution circulation pump 6 and an alkaline solution cooler 7. The water washing liquid return tank 2 is equipped with a water washing liquid level gauge 13 and a fresh water input pipe, and a fresh water shut-off valve 9 is installed on the fresh water input pipe. A water washing liquid pH meter 15 is installed between the water washing liquid return tank 2 and the water washing liquid circulation pump 3. A water washing liquid discharge valve 11 is installed on the wastewater discharge pipe at the outlet of the water washing liquid circulation pump 3. The alkali reflux tank 5 is equipped with an alkali reflux tank level gauge 14 and a fresh alkali inlet, with a fresh alkali shut-off valve 10 at the fresh alkali inlet. An alkali pH meter 16 is installed on the pipeline connecting the alkali reflux tank 5 and the alkali circulation pump 6. An alkali discharge valve 12 is installed on the waste alkali discharge pipeline of the alkali circulation pump 6. A blower 8 is installed at the top of the alkali washing tower 4, with its output open to the atmosphere.
[0029] The specific process is as follows:
[0030] 1) Exhaust gas absorption process
[0031] The exhaust gas 17 is introduced from the bottom of the water washing tower 1. It absorbs hydrogen chloride in the exhaust gas by contacting the water sprayed at the top of the water washing tower 1. The exhaust gas at the top of the water washing tower 1 is introduced into the bottom of the alkaline washing tower 4. It absorbs chlorine in the exhaust gas by contacting the alkaline solution sprayed at the top of the alkaline washing tower 4. The reaction equation is as follows. The exhaust gas at the top of the alkaline washing tower 4 is pressurized by the blower 8 and then released into the air.
[0032] Cl₂ + NaOH = NaCl + NaClO
[0033] 2) Circulation process of water washing solution and alkaline washing solution
[0034] The washing liquid at the bottom of the water washing tower 1 flows into the water washing liquid return tank 2, and then is sent to the top of the water washing tower 1 for reuse by the water washing liquid circulation pump 3. The alkaline washing liquid at the bottom of the alkaline washing tower 4 flows into the alkaline washing liquid return tank 5, and then is sent to the alkaline liquid cooler 7 for cooling by the alkaline washing liquid circulation pump 6, and then sent to the top of the alkaline washing tower 4 for reuse.
[0035] 3) Process for discharging and replenishing water and alkaline washing solutions
[0036] When the pH meter reading of the washing liquid is low (15), the interlocking valve 11 opens. When the level gauge reading of the washing liquid return tank is low (13), the washing liquid discharge valve 11 closes, and after a 2-second delay, the fresh water shut-off valve 9 opens to replenish fresh water (19). When the level gauge reading of the washing liquid return tank is high (13), the fresh water shut-off valve 9 closes, and water replenishment stops.
[0037] When the pH meter 16 reading is low, the alkali discharge valve 12 is opened interlocked. When the alkali return tank level gauge 14 reading is low, the alkali discharge valve 12 is closed, and after a 2-second delay, the fresh alkali shut-off valve 10 is opened to replenish fresh alkali 20. When the alkali return tank level gauge 14 reading is high, the fresh alkali shut-off valve 10 is closed, and alkali replenishment is stopped.
