Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical vaporization equipment technology, specifically to an ammonia vaporizer resistant to chloride ion corrosion. Background Technology
[0002] Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are a major component of air pollution, primarily originating from coal-fired power plants, industrial boilers, refineries, and vehicle exhaust. NOx contributes to acid rain, photochemical smog, and PM2.5 formation, and seriously harms human health. Consequently, countries worldwide have established strict limits on NOx emissions.
[0003] The denitrification technology using ammonia is characterized by high efficiency, maturity, and economy, and has become the mainstream solution for industrial denitrification. Its core principle is to use ammonia as a reducing agent to reduce nitrogen oxides into harmless nitrogen and water under the conditions of catalyst and high temperature.
[0004] Currently, ammonia is produced in the following ways: urea pyrolysis / hydrolysis, which has the advantage of no ammonia storage risk, but the equipment is complex, energy consumption is high, the reaction is delayed, and the produced gas contains the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide; liquid ammonia vaporization, which has the advantage of high purity and low operating cost, but it is a major hazard source with high risk and requires strict safety control; and ammonia water vaporization, which has the advantage of high safety and convenient transportation and storage, but the accumulation of chloride ions during vaporization can easily cause equipment corrosion.
[0005] In the ammonia production process by vaporizing ammonia water, the vaporizer is mostly made of stainless steel, which has good thermal conductivity, can improve vaporization efficiency, and the upward tube side allows the produced gas to rise and be discharged after being heated. Steam is used to rapidly heat the ammonia water and make it vaporize quickly. After the ammonia gas and water are discharged in the gas phase, the chloride ions that cannot be volatilized in the liquid phase are enriched at the bottom of the equipment. The concentration of chloride ions in the residual liquid increases from the initial less than 10 ppm to more than 1000 ppm. Under high temperature conditions, the enriched chloride ions will cause pitting corrosion and intergranular corrosion of stainless steel, especially in the heat-affected zone of welding.
