Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of phthalic anhydride production technology, specifically to a waste heat recovery and utilization device for a phthalic anhydride production apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Methyl phthalic anhydride, or phthalic anhydride for short, is a cyclic anhydride formed by the intramolecular dehydration of phthalic acid. It is a white solid with the molecular formula C6H4(CO)2O and is an important raw material in the chemical industry, especially in the manufacture of plasticizers. The production of phthalic anhydride generates heat. Phthalic anhydride is a white, needle-like crystal that is sublimable. During sublimation, it produces fumes with an irritating odor. If inhaled, these fumes can irritate the respiratory tract, causing symptoms such as coughing and sneezing. Furthermore, phthalic anhydride has a relatively low melting point of 131.6℃, and it melts easily at higher temperatures, which increases the risk of leakage.

[0003] Utility model patent CN107061232A discloses a waste heat recovery and utilization device, including an air compressor without a cooling system, a heat exchange device, a room temperature water supply device, a water storage device, and an air handling device. The heat exchange device has an air inlet, an air outlet, a water inlet, and a water outlet. The air inlet of the heat exchange device is connected to the compressed gas outlet of the air compressor via an air pipe, and the air outlet is connected to the air handling device via an air pipe. The water inlet of the heat exchange device is connected to the room temperature water supply device via a water supply pipe, and the water outlet of the heat exchange device is connected to the water storage device via an outlet pipe. This device utilizes the heat exchange device to exchange heat between the high-temperature, high-pressure gas generated by the air compressor and the room temperature water introduced into the heat exchange device, thereby cooling the gas and heating the room temperature water. The cooled gas is used for industrial production, and the heated water is used for hot water supply, improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0004] Currently, the production of phthalic anhydride generates a large amount of heat. Directly releasing this heat with the gas not only harms the environment, but also, as is often done, the heat is transferred to the lower part of the furnace body to heat it. However, this only heats the lower part of the furnace body, and the heat is easily dissipated and cannot be fully utilized. At the same time, harmful elements in the gas also cause adverse environmental damage. Activated carbon filters are used to purify these harmful elements, but these filters are not very durable and are easily deformed and damaged, thus affecting their use. Utility Model Content
