Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical tail gas absorption technology, specifically an automated tail gas absorption device. Background Technology
[0002] Liquid chlorine, also known as liquid chlorine, is a yellowish-green liquid that is highly toxic. It vaporizes into a gas under normal pressure; inhalation can cause severe poisoning. It is extremely irritating and corrosive, and can ignite and explode when mixed with other flammable gases in sunlight. It is highly reactive and can react with most elements or compounds. Liquid chlorine is widely used in chemical production, commonly for bleaching, manufacturing chlorine compounds, synthetic rubber, pesticides, and synthetic fibers. Therefore, liquid chlorine is a highly toxic chemical, and improper storage and use can have very serious consequences for the environment and human health.
[0003] Currently, the main methods for absorbing chlorine in engineering accidents include: alkaline absorption, which involves the reaction of chlorine gas with an alkaline solution to generate harmless hypochlorite and chloride; sodium thiosulfate reduction, which involves reducing chlorine gas to non-toxic chloride using sodium thiosulfate; activated carbon adsorption, which involves removing chlorine gas through physical or chemical adsorption of metal oxides loaded on activated carbon; water absorption, which involves the formation of chlorine water by the slight solubility of chlorine gas in water; and metal reduction, which involves the reaction of chlorine gas with metals to generate chloride.
[0004] Alkali absorption is widely used in industrial waste gas treatment processes due to its high efficiency, low cost, and the use of multi-stage absorption towers connected in series to absorb chlorine. However, conventional multi-stage absorption towers still have the following shortcomings under actual operating conditions:
[0005] 1. As the alkaline solution reacts with chlorine, the concentration of the alkaline solution decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish the absorption tower with high concentration alkaline solution from time to time. The conventional method of replenishing alkaline solution is to add it manually according to the detected concentration of alkaline solution. This method is accompanied by the risk of chlorine leakage during sampling and testing. In addition, the method of manually opening the valve and starting the pump can also lead to insufficient chlorine absorption due to untimely addition.
[0006] 2. The flow rate of the alkali supply pump is fixed. When multiple absorption towers need to be replenished with alkali at the same time, the replenishment time of the alkali is prolonged, which seriously affects the chlorine absorption effect. Utility Model Content
[0007] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides an automated exhaust gas absorption device that automatically replenishes the alkali solution according to the concentration of the alkali solution by reusing the downstream stage to the upstream stage.

[0016] Furthermore, the spray absorption tower is provided with N units, where N≥3; and is labeled as N-stage spray absorption towers in reverse order of the direction in which the exhaust gas enters.

[0022] The advantages of this automated exhaust gas absorption device are as follows:
[0023] Based on the alkali concentration, the high-concentration alkali solution in the next-stage spray absorption tower is replenished to maintain the alkali concentration in the current spray absorption tower, thus meeting the absorption conditions. Liquid alkali is replenished by the last-stage spray absorption tower, and waste alkali is discharged from the first-stage spray absorption tower. This ensures absorption efficiency and prevents chlorine gas leakage. Attached Figure Description
