Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a desulfurization and carbon removal device, specifically a desulfurization and carbon removal device for a supergravity coupled impingement flow reactor. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, flue gas desulfurization and decarbonization mainly adopt wet methods, which involve contacting the flue gas with alkaline liquid in a spray tower or absorption tower, so that the alkaline liquid absorbs sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide in the flue gas and generates carbonates, sulfites or sulfates.
[0003] Chinese patent CN202410037364.0 discloses an integrated method for flue gas desulfurization, denitrification, and decarbonization based on a hypergravity reactor. The system includes: a secondary thin-plate hypergravity treatment device; an ammonia water dosing pipeline; an absorbent detection device; a flue gas detection device; a series return gas branch; a flue gas emission branch; and a main flue gas emission route. When the flue gas detection device detects that the flue gas is substandard, the flue gas enters the upper-level series-connected secondary thin-plate hypergravity treatment device for secondary treatment via the series return gas branch. By utilizing multiple stages of secondary thin-plate hypergravity treatment devices in coordination, the energy consumption for flue gas treatment decreases as the amount of flue gas treated decreases, solving the problem of efficient and low-energy-consumption treatment of steel plant tail gas under unpredictable conditions.
[0004] Chinese patent CN202510519780.9 discloses a tower-type carbon dioxide absorption device based on a rotating packing structure. By optimizing the structural design of the absorption tower and opening an inspection door on the side of the tower, the area requiring packing replacement is rotated to the inspection door, solving the shortcomings of traditional absorption towers where the internal packing is difficult to assemble and replace. Gravity causes the absorbent liquid to flow downwards, forming a countercurrent with the carbon dioxide-containing gas. The rotation of the liquid distributor is controlled by adjusting the structure to improve the spraying effect. Simultaneously, the centrifugal force of the liquid spray is controlled by adjusting the rotation speed, thus controlling the spray angle and making the absorbent liquid more evenly distributed across the cross-section of the tower. This ensures sufficient contact between the absorbent and the rising carbon dioxide-containing gas, increasing the gas-liquid contact area and contact time, thereby improving the carbon dioxide absorption efficiency and reducing wall flow, thus improving the overall performance of the absorption tower.
[0005] Chinese patent CN202510405344.9 discloses a multi-layer filtration flue gas desulfurization device. This device employs a multi-layer stacked cylindrical design, with a spraying mechanism and a filtration mechanism housed within each cylinder. The filter units within the filtration mechanism can be easily replaced via a replacement port, reducing downtime for the desulfurization device. Furthermore, through the coordinated design of a closed control component and a connected control component, the contact time between the flue gas and the filter units can be controlled, thereby improving the flue gas filtration effect and ultimately enhancing the flue gas desulfurization efficiency.
[0006] Impact flow, as a novel mixing method, is widely used in the chemical industry. Its main characteristic is the generation of a highly turbulent region in the impact zone through the collision of two high-speed fluids, thereby enhancing interphase transfer and promoting micro-mixing. Under non-immersion conditions, liquid-liquid impact flow creates a highly turbulent and chaotic flow state in the impact zone. The impact process efficiently converts kinetic energy into turbulent kinetic energy, resulting in a high energy dissipation rate, promoting droplet breakup and interface renewal, and dispersing the liquid into micron-sized droplets or filaments, increasing the specific surface area by 1-2 orders of magnitude compared to traditional mixing methods. This method combines the droplet breakup and atomization characteristics of liquid-liquid impact flow under non-immersion conditions to improve the contact area between the gas and the absorbent. A method and device for gas-liquid absorption desulfurization and carbon removal using a supergravity-coupled impact flow structure is proposed for the application of impact structures in the field of gas-liquid absorption.
[0007] The core principle of rotating hypergravity technology is to generate a centrifugal force field through a high-speed rotating rotor, thereby significantly enhancing the mass transfer, mixing, and separation processes between gas and liquid or liquid and solid in a hypergravity environment. Its technical characteristics include: highly efficient mass transfer, with fluids being sheared into micron-sized droplets or thin films; compact equipment; energy efficiency and flexibility; and wide range of applications, covering fields such as chemical separation, nanomaterial preparation, flue gas dust removal, and energy desulfurization. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a desulfurization and carbon removal device for a supergravity coupled impact flow reactor. This device is based on supergravity coupled impact flow technology. Supergravity technology provides the impact flow with a high initial momentum of impact, and the impact flow technology enables the absorbent liquid to be fully atomized, increasing the gas-liquid contact area, enhancing gas-liquid absorption, and improving absorption efficiency. It has a significant effect on the treatment of sulfur- and carbon-containing flue gas in energy, metallurgy and other fields.

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] As shown in the figure, the hypergravity impact flow device is driven to rotate by a motor and has a liquid inlet, a rotating shaft, and symmetrically arranged pipes. The pipes consist of a horizontally arranged main pipe and a sleeve covering the main pipe. The main pipe connects to a cross-shaped cavity, which has four circular nozzles with their centers on the same circle near the rotating shaft. Similarly, four circular sleeve nozzles with their centers on the same circle are located at corresponding positions on the sleeve. The side wall of the casing has an air inlet, the upper end has an exhaust outlet, and the lower end has a liquid outlet.
[0024] The supergravity impactor flow device is driven by a motor to rotate, utilizing the centrifugal force generated by the rotation to provide a high initial momentum for the impacting flow. The absorbent liquid flows through the main pipe and the outer sleeve to the impact zone. In the impact zone, there are four sets of impacting flows, with the centers of their circular nozzles distributed on the same circle. The surrounding arrangement of these four sets of impacting flows results in multiple impacts, forming four primary impact surfaces. The radial jets collide with each other in pairs, forming four secondary impact surfaces. Under non-immersion conditions, the absorbent liquid forms an atomized radial diffusion zone, producing a large area of atomized absorbent liquid. Simultaneously, due to the centrifugal force, a larger diffusion zone volume is generated during the outward expansion of the radial diffusion zone, significantly increasing the contact area between the gas and the absorbent liquid. Furthermore, the supergravity impactor flow device agitates the absorbent liquid and flue gas during rotation, further ensuring thorough mixing and enhancing gas-liquid absorption.
[0025] In operation, the present invention first turns on the inlet pump 8, and the absorbent liquid enters the supergravity impact flow device 1 from the storage tank 7 via the inlet pump 8 and the electromagnetic flowmeter 10 through the inlet 1-5. After the liquid level in the supergravity impact flow device 1 rises to a certain level, the motor 3 is started, and the supergravity impact flow device 1 is rotated by the motor 3. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation provides a high initial momentum for the impact flow. The absorbent liquid gathers from the internal cavity of the supergravity impact flow device 1 to the surrounding walls and enters the main pipe 1-4 and the sleeve 1-3. The absorbent liquid in the main pipe 1-4 flows out through the cross cavity 1-1 through the circular nozzle 1-2, and the absorbent liquid in the sleeve 1-3 also flows out through the corresponding circular sleeve nozzle 1-2. The two opposing fluids form an impact flow. Subsequently, the valve 9 is opened, and the gas from the gas storage bottle 5 enters the shell 2 through the gas inlet 6 via the pressure gauge 11 to begin the reaction. In the impact zone, four sets of impacting streams are arranged in a surrounding pattern, resulting in multiple impacts that form four primary impact surfaces. The radial jets collide with each other in pairs, forming four secondary impact surfaces. Under non-immersion conditions, the absorbent liquid forms a radially diffused atomized zone, producing a large-area atomized absorbent liquid. Simultaneously, due to centrifugal force, a larger diffusion zone volume is generated during the outward expansion of the radial diffusion zone, significantly increasing the contact area between the gas and the absorbent liquid. Furthermore, the high-gravity impacting stream device 1 further agitates the gas and atomized absorbent liquid during rotation, ensuring thorough mixing and enhancing gas-liquid absorption. After gas absorption is complete, the absorbent liquid inside the device can be discharged from the drain port 14 at the bottom of the shell 2 into the collection tank 15. The purified gas is discharged from the exhaust port 13 at the top of the shell and enters the gas collection bottle 12. Finally, a sample is taken from the gas collection bottle 12 for testing. If the gas quality meets the emission standards, it is then discharged. Example 1
[0026] In this embodiment, NaOH aqueous solution is used to treat SO2 concentration of 6000 mg / m³. 3Flue gas with a CO2 volume concentration of 13% undergoes desulfurization and carbon removal treatment. After assembling the device, the power is connected. The NaOH aqueous solution in the storage tank 7 is regulated by the electromagnetic flowmeter 10 and then enters the hypergravity impact flow device 1 through the inlet 1-5 via the inlet pump 8. Once the NaOH aqueous solution level in the hypergravity impact flow device 1 reaches a certain level, the motor 3 is started, causing the hypergravity impact flow device 1 to rotate. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation provides a high initial momentum for the impact flow. The NaOH aqueous solution gathers from the internal cavity of the hypergravity impact flow device 1 towards the surrounding walls, entering the main pipe 1-4 and the sleeve 1-3. The NaOH aqueous solution in the main pipe 1-4 flows out through the cross cavity 1-1 and the nozzle 1-2, while the NaOH aqueous solution in the sleeve 1-3 also flows out from the corresponding sleeve nozzle 1-2. The two opposing fluids form an impact flow. Subsequently, the valve is opened, and gas containing CO2 and SO2 enters the shell 2 through the inlet via the pressure gauge 11. In the impact zone, four sets of impacting streams are arranged, with the centers of their circular nozzles 1-2 distributed on the same circle. Utilizing the circumferential arrangement of these four sets of impacting streams, multiple impacts occur, forming four primary impact surfaces. The radial jets collide with each other in pairs, forming four secondary impact surfaces. Under non-immersion conditions, the NaOH aqueous solution forms an atomized radial diffusion zone, generating a large-area atomized absorbent liquid. Simultaneously, due to centrifugal force, the diffusion zone expands outward, generating a larger diffusion zone volume, significantly increasing the contact area between the CO2 and SO2-containing gas and the atomized NaOH aqueous solution. Furthermore, the high-gravity impacting stream device 1 further agitates the CO2 and SO2-containing gas and the atomized NaOH aqueous solution during rotation, ensuring thorough mixing and enhancing gas-liquid absorption. After gas absorption is complete, the NaOH aqueous solution inside the device can be discharged from the drain port 14 at the bottom of the shell 2 into the collection tank 15. The purified gas is discharged from the exhaust port 13 at the top of the shell and enters the gas collecting bottle 12. The absorbed gas was continuously collected and tested, and the results showed that the SO2 concentration in the flue gas was 24 mg / m³. 3 The absorption efficiency reached 99.6%, the CO2 volume concentration was 1.1%, and the absorption rate reached 91.5%, which meets the gas emission standards.

[0028] Using NaOH aqueous solution, for SO2 concentration of 6000 mg / m³ 3 The flue gas underwent desulfurization treatment. Detection of pollutant concentrations at the flue gas emission outlet showed that the SO2 concentration in the flue gas was 216 mg / m³. 3 The absorption efficiency reaches 96.4%.
