Description

Technical Field

In the traditional process of regenerating spent activated carbon, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the boiler is usually directly discharged or only used once, resulting in a large amount of waste heat not being effectively recovered, leading to energy waste, high equipment energy consumption, and low waste heat utilization rate.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0026] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this utility model.

[0027] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an integral connection, or a detachable connection; they can refer to the internal connection of two components; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] See appendix Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-stage regeneration system for waste activated carbon with integrated waste heat recovery, including a recovery component 3 installed at one end of a rotary dryer 1 for waste heat recovery, a feeding plate 101 provided at one end of the inner wall of the feed end of the rotary dryer 1, a boiler 2 provided at one end of the rotary dryer 1, a boiler flue 202 installed in the flue gas outlet of the boiler 2, an induced draft fan 201 connected to the middle section of the boiler flue 202, and a central pipe 203 connected to the other end of the boiler flue 202.

[0029] The other end of the central tube 203 passes through the discharge end of the rotary dryer 1 and is located inside the rotary dryer 1. A sealing ring 204 is bonded to the outer surface of the through end of the central tube 203.

[0030] A first spiral guide ring 205 is installed at one end of the inner wall of the central tube 203. Multiple smoke outlets 206 are provided on the lower surface of the inner wall of the central tube 203. Two second spiral guide rings 207 are installed at the other end of the inner wall of the central tube 203. The number of turns of the two second spiral guide rings 207 is less than that of the first spiral guide ring 205. The ends of the two second spiral guide rings 207 and the first spiral guide ring 205 are located inside the smoke outlets 206.

[0031] In the above technical solution, boiler 2 generates flue gas, which is pressurized by induced draft fan 201 and enters the central pipe 203 through boiler flue 202, and then enters rotary drum dryer 1. This facilitates the entry of heated flue gas to achieve efficient heating and regeneration of waste activated carbon, making it convenient to use a multi-stage regeneration system for waste activated carbon with integrated waste heat recovery.

[0032] During operation, the flue gas generated by the boiler 2 is drawn into the central pipe 203 by the induced draft fan 201. Then, it passes through the first spiral guide ring 205 and the second spiral guide ring 207 installed in the central pipe 203, with the end located in the flue gas outlet 206. This allows the flue gas to be discharged from the flue gas outlet 206 in the central pipe 203, preventing flue gas residue in the central pipe 203 and thus improving the flue gas utilization efficiency. This allows the waste activated carbon entering the rotary drum dryer 1 from the feed end to evaporate the moisture, providing a dry material basis for subsequent desorption or activation processes. Afterward, the flue gas can be absorbed and reused by the recovery component 3, reducing energy consumption.

[0033] See appendix Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the recovery component 3 includes a suction fan 301, which is located on the feed end side of the rotary dryer 1. The suction port of the suction fan 301 is connected to an air inlet pipe 302. The other end of the air inlet pipe 302 passes through the feed end of the rotary dryer 1 and is located at the lower end of the discharge plate 101, with the through end sealed with packing. A filter screen plate 303 is installed on one end of the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 302, and a slag collection block 304 is connected to one end of the lower surface of the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 302. During waste heat recovery, the waste residue can be collected through the slag collection block 304. The air outlet of the suction fan 301 is connected to an air outlet pipe 305, which can be connected to an external desorption section pipeline through a flange interface. The lower surface of the discharge end of the rotary dryer 1 is connected to a discharge block 401. One end of the lower surface of the discharge block 401 is connected to an installation box 4. The installation box 4 is equipped with a conveyor belt 403. One end of the upper surface of the installation box 4 is equipped with a cooling fan 402. One side of the cooling fan 402 is connected to a pipe, and the pipe is connected to one end of the discharge block 401. The cooling fan 402 delivers airflow into the discharge block 401 through the pipe to achieve cooling.

[0034] To improve the waste heat recovery effect, the exhaust gas in the rotary dryer 1 is drawn out by the suction fan 301 and the air inlet pipe 302. Then, the carbon powder is intercepted by the filter screen plate 303 installed in the air inlet pipe 302 to avoid affecting subsequent use. The filtered impurities fall into the slag collection block 304 for collection. The flange interface of the exhaust pipe 305 is connected to the desorption section. The purified exhaust gas enters the desorption section through the exhaust pipe 305 to realize the recovery and reuse of waste heat. The dried carbon falls through the discharge block 401, and the cooling fan 402 blows in cold air to cool it down. The cooled regenerated carbon falls onto the conveyor belt 403 for output to the next stage of processing.

[0035] Rotary drum dryer 1 is a mature existing technology, so I will not go into too much detail here.

[0036] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a multi-stage regeneration system for waste activated carbon that integrates waste heat recovery. By collecting the waste heat flue gas in the rotary dryer 1 through the recovery component 3, the system processes the waste heat and then transports it to the next stage desorption section for reuse. This avoids the direct loss of heat from the flue gas, thereby improving the waste heat utilization rate and reducing energy consumption.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles of the present invention. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the scope of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
