Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of exhaust gas treatment technology, specifically relating to a device for condensing and recovering ammonia-formaldehyde vapor from urotropine exhaust gas. Background Technology

[0002] Urotropin, also known as hexamethylenetetramine, has the molecular formula C6H. 12 Hexamethylenetetramine (N4) is an organic compound, a white to pale yellow crystalline powder at room temperature. It is flammable, almost odorless, and has a sweet and bitter taste. It is readily soluble in organic solvents such as water, ethanol, and chloroform, sparingly soluble in benzene and carbon tetrachloride, and insoluble in ether and gasoline. Hexamethylenetetramine is widely used in the resin, plastics, and rubber industries. In medicine, it is used as a diuretic; in the food industry, as a disinfectant; and in agriculture, as a raw material for pesticides.

[0003] The main raw materials for hexamethylenetetramine production are formaldehyde and ammonia. There are two production processes: liquid-phase and gas-phase. The liquid-phase method involves reacting a 37% formaldehyde aqueous solution with ammonia gas to produce a hexamethylenetetramine solution. This solution is then further dehydrated through evaporation, and finally centrifuged and dried to obtain the finished product. Its advantages are: mature technology, simple operation, and a long crystallization time, resulting in large product particles. The gas-phase method involves directly passing formaldehyde gas, generated from methanol conversion, into an ammoniation reactor to react with ammonia gas in a saturated hexamethylenetetramine mother liquor to produce hexamethylenetetramine. Its advantages are: significant steam savings and high product purity.

[0004] In the process of producing hexamethylenetetramine using the gas-phase method, the exhaust gas contains unreacted formaldehyde and ammonia, as well as water vapor and other components. If these exhaust gases are directly emitted, it will not only waste resources but also cause serious environmental pollution.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device for condensing and recovering ammonia-formaldehyde vapor from urotropine tail gas. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in the existing technology, the present invention provides a hexamethylenetetramine tail gas ammonia-formaldehyde vapor condensation and recovery device, comprising a condensation tower and an absorption tower. A first air inlet is provided at the lower part of one side of the condensation tower, a first liquid outlet is provided at the bottom of the condensation tower, and a first air outlet is provided at the upper part of the other side of the condensation tower. A condensation coil is provided inside the condensation tower, and a first spray pipe is provided at the top of the condensation tower. The first spray pipe is located above the first air outlet, and multiple first spray heads are provided at the bottom of the first spray pipe.

[0007] A second air inlet is provided at the lower part of one side of the absorption tower, and the second air inlet is connected to the first air outlet through a gas guide pipe. A second liquid outlet is provided at the bottom of the absorption tower, and a second air outlet is provided at the top of the absorption tower. Several perforated plates are arranged inside the absorption tower from top to bottom. Each perforated plate is provided with a packing layer.

[0008] Optionally, the condenser coil is located between the first air inlet and the first air outlet, and the condenser coil is provided with a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet, both of which extend out of the condenser tower.

[0009] Optionally, the first outlet of the condenser is connected to a recovery tank via a first connecting pipe, and the first connecting pipe is equipped with a first electric valve and a first delivery pump.

[0010] Optionally, a first filter plate is provided at the bottom of the condenser tower, and the first filter plate is located below the first air inlet.

[0011] Optionally, a first induced draft fan and a manual ball valve are installed on the air duct.

[0012] Optionally, the second outlet of the absorption tower is connected to a circulation tank via a second connecting pipe, and a second electric valve and a second delivery pump are installed on the second connecting pipe. The circulation tank is connected to the second spray pipe via a delivery pipe, and a third electric valve and a circulation pump are installed on the delivery pipe.

[0013] Optionally, a second filter plate is provided at the bottom of the absorption tower, and the second filter plate is located below the second air inlet.

[0014] Optionally, the second outlet of the absorption tower is connected to an exhaust pipe, and the exhaust pipe is equipped with a filter and a second induced draft fan.

[0015] Optionally, the filter includes a housing and a cover plate detachably connected to the bottom of the housing. The top surface of the cover plate is provided with a first annular groove and a second annular groove arranged in concentric circles, with the first annular groove located inside the second annular groove. The bottom of the cover plate is connected to a filter inlet, which is located inside the first annular groove. The top of the housing is connected to a filter outlet. The inside of the housing is provided with a first filter screen and a second filter screen, with the first filter screen located inside the second filter screen.

An activated carbon adsorption layer is filled between the first filter screen and the second filter screen, and an acidic adsorbent is filled between the second filter screen and the inner wall of the housing.

[0016] Specifically, the activated carbon adsorption layer in the filter is used to adsorb residual organic matter such as formaldehyde in the exhaust gas, and the acidic adsorbent can be used to absorb residual ammonia in the exhaust gas; the first filter screen and the second filter screen not only play a filtering role, but also separate the activated carbon adsorption layer and the acidic adsorbent, playing a certain limiting role. At the same time, the first filter screen and the second filter screen are connected to the cover plate by a detachable connection structure, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement.

Furthermore, any devices or components not specified in this invention employ conventional technologies in the field, such as the first induced draft fan and the second induced draft fan.

[0018] The working principle of this invention is as follows: exhaust gas is introduced into the condensing tower through the first inlet. Under the guidance of the first induced draft fan, it flows upward through the condensing coil. Coolant flows in the condensing coil and exchanges heat with the exhaust gas. The coolant is then discharged from the condensing coil, while the ammonia and formaldehyde in the exhaust gas are condensed and liquefied. Simultaneously, the first spray pipe at the top of the condensing tower is opened, spraying absorbent liquid downwards to adsorb and filter out most of the ammonia and formaldehyde in the exhaust gas. The liquid ammonia and formaldehyde are then filtered through the first filter plate and flow into a recovery tank for storage. Afterwards, the exhaust gas enters the absorption tower through the gas guide pipe. Under the guidance of the second induced draft fan, it passes upward through layers of packing and the second spray pipe. At this time, the second spray pipe is opened to spray out the absorption liquid, which adsorbs and filters out the remaining ammonia and formaldehyde in the exhaust gas. The liquid ammonia and formaldehyde are filtered by the second filter plate and flow into the circulation tank. Then, under the action of the circulation pump, the absorption liquid is recycled to improve the adsorption effect. Finally, the exhaust gas after condensation and recovery treatment is discharged from the second outlet and discharged to the next process after being purified and filtered by the filter.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are that, through the condensation tower and absorption tower, formaldehyde and ammonia in the exhaust gas can be adsorbed and filtered out, and formaldehyde and ammonia can be recovered, reducing resource waste; through the filter, residual formaldehyde and ammonia in the exhaust gas can be purified and filtered out, improving the purification effect and reducing environmental pollution.
