Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sulfur paste production waste gas treatment technology, specifically relating to a sulfur paste production waste gas drying tower. Background Technology
[0002] The production of sulfur paste generates a large amount of sulfur-containing waste gas. This waste gas typically contains high-concentration sulfide water vapor and sulfur paste dust, and is characterized by high humidity, strong corrosiveness, and high recoverability of sulfur resources. Currently, industrial treatment of this type of waste gas mainly relies on traditional drying towers and supporting desulfurization equipment.
[0003] Traditional drying towers often employ a single heating method, resulting in uneven heat distribution and insufficient drying of the waste gas. This often leads to high moisture content in the sulfur paste, which can easily cause pipe blockages during subsequent treatment. Furthermore, due to the lack of an effective condensation and recovery structure, sulfur vapor is directly emitted with the exhaust gas, resulting in low recovery rates. This not only wastes resources but also increases the pressure on exhaust gas purification. Therefore, a new type of sulfur paste production waste gas drying tower has been developed.

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0018] Example Reference Figures 1-6 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a sulfur paste production waste gas drying tower, comprising, The spraying mechanism 100 includes a support column 101, a tower body 102 fixedly installed on the top of the support column 101, a spraying assembly 103 disposed in the inner cavity of the tower body 102, and an air inlet 104 disposed on the side wall of the tower body 102. The drying and condensation mechanism 200 includes an inner mounting ring 201 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tower body 102, a hot oil pipe coil 202 fixedly installed on the inner circumference of the inner mounting ring 201, an outer mounting ring 203 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tower body 102, a steam pipe coil 204 fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the outer mounting ring 203, an annular liquid collection tank 205 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tower body 102, a condensate collection pipe 206 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tower body 102, a support rod 207 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tower body 102, an installation rod 208 fixedly installed at the end of the support rod 207, a baffle plate 209 fixedly installed on the outer circumference of the installation rod 208, a fixing ring 210 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tower body 102, a condensation coil 211 disposed in the inner cavity of the tower body 102 and fixed by the fixing ring 210, and an exhaust hole 212 opened at the top of the tower body 102.
[0019] The inner mounting ring 201 is an annular steel plate, welded and fixed to the middle of the inner wall of the tower body 102; the hot oil coil 202 is wound and fixed to the inner circumference of the inner mounting ring 201, using seamless steel pipe coiling; the outer mounting ring 203 is welded to the corresponding position on the outer wall of the tower body 102, and the steam coil 204 is fixed to the outer circumference of the outer mounting ring 203 in the same way; the annular liquid collection tank 205 is welded to the lower part of the inner wall of the tower body 102; the condensate collection pipe 206 is a stainless steel pipe, one end of which is connected to the annular liquid collection tank 205, and the other end extends out of the tower body; the support rod 207 consists of 3 stainless steel rods, evenly welded to the inner wall of the tower body, and the ends of which are welded to the mounting rod 208; the baffle plate 209 is fixed to the outer circumference of the mounting rod 208; the fixing ring 210 consists of 3 annular brackets, welded to the inner wall of the tower body 102, and the condensate coil 211 is inserted and fixed inside the fixing ring 210; the exhaust port 212 is opened at the center of the top of the tower body 102 and connected to the subsequent tail gas treatment pipeline.
[0020] Specifically, the bottom of the annular liquid collection tank 205 is provided with a slope that slopes towards its lowest point along the annular direction, so that the condensate flows along the slope of the tank bottom to the lowest point, which is connected to a condensate collection pipe, and the condensate finally flows out through the collection pipe.
[0021] Furthermore, it is made of stainless steel plate welded together, with a right trapezoidal cross section, and is continuously arranged around the inner wall of the tower body 102. The bottom of the tank is set with a 5° slope from the bottom of the ring direction to the lowest point, and the joint is welded at the lowest point. The condensate collection pipe is a 206 stainless steel pipe, with one end welded to the joint and the other end extending out of the tower body and connected to the sulfur paste condensate storage tank. A ball valve is installed on the pipeline to control the discharge.
[0022] Preferably, the baffle 209 includes three plates arranged vertically at intervals along the height of the tower body 102, all arranged concentrically along the tower body axis; the upper two plates are large semicircles with their straight edges facing each other radially in space, and the lowermost plate is a circle matching the inner diameter of the tower body. Each of the three plates has ventilation holes evenly distributed along the plate surface, and a gap is maintained between each plate and the inner wall of the tower body 102 to allow condensate to flow downward along the inner wall of the tower body.
[0023] It should be noted that all three plates are made of stainless steel and are arranged at 800mm intervals along the height of tower body 102, concentric with the tower axis. The upper two plates are semi-circular, with the first plate's straight edge facing the left side of the tower body and the second plate's straight edge facing the right side. The lowest plate is circular, matching the inner diameter of the tower body. All three plates have ventilation holes arranged in a quincunx pattern. A gap is maintained between each plate and the inner wall of tower body 102 to allow condensate to flow down the tower wall into the annular collection tank 205. During operation, the exhaust gas inlet valve is opened, and the exhaust gas first comes into contact with the pretreatment liquid sprayed from the spray head 103c, removing some sulfides and large particulate dust. The pretreated exhaust gas flows upward and enters the heating zone of the hot oil coil 202 and steam coil 204, where it is heated to 180~220℃ through heat transfer from the tower wall, causing moisture to evaporate and the sulfur paste particles to dry initially. The dried exhaust gas continues to rise, passing through three baffles 209 in sequence. The two large semi-circular baffles at the top force the exhaust gas to flow back, extending the residence time. In the process, the undried sulfur particles are further exposed to the high-temperature gas. The lower circular baffle plate blocks large sulfur particles, allowing them to fall through the gaps between the plates. Fine sulfur vapor rises with the airflow. After the exhaust gas enters the condensation section, it comes into contact with the condensation coil 211, and the temperature drops to below 40°C. The sulfur vapor condenses into liquid sulfur, which flows along the inner wall of the tower body 102 into the annular liquid collection tank 205. The liquid sulfur in the annular liquid collection tank 205 flows along the bottom slope to the lowest point and is discharged into the storage tank through the condensate collection pipe 206. It can be subsequently recovered and purified.
[0024] In summary, the spray assembly 103 pre-treats and desulfurizes the exhaust gas. Combined with the dual heating of the hot oil coil 202 and the steam coil 204, the drying efficiency of the exhaust gas is improved, and the moisture content of the sulfur paste is reduced from 30% to below 0.8%. The dual-layer heating structure of the hot oil coil and the steam coil enables gradient heat transfer from the inside to the outside, improving the thermal energy utilization rate and reducing steam consumption compared to traditional single steam heating equipment. The three baffles 209 form a deflection flow field, extending the exhaust gas residence time to 5-8 minutes. With the deep cooling of the condenser coil 211, the sulfur vapor recovery rate is improved. The gap between the vent holes of the baffles 209 and the tower wall reduces the accumulation of sulfur paste. Combined with the anti-stick coating of the tower body, the continuous operation cycle is extended. The sealed structure of the annular liquid collection tank 205 and the condensate collection pipe 206 prevents the leakage of sulfur condensate. The pre-treated liquid can be recycled, reducing wastewater discharge.
