Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wastewater resource utilization technology, and more specifically to a resource utilization system for wastewater discharged from a tin smelting waste heat boiler. Background Technology
[0002] The main equipment for tin smelting includes fuming furnaces, top-blown furnaces, electric furnaces, and rotary kilns. A large amount of heat is generated during the production process. If it is not recovered, it will not only cause a large loss of heat energy, but also affect the air temperature when it is released into the atmosphere.
[0003] To efficiently recover heat energy from various furnaces and kilns in tin smelting, boilers are used to produce steam for power generation and to supply heat for acid production. However, boiler operation generates a large amount of wastewater, which typically has high temperature and pressure and contains impurities, salts, and other substances. Traditional methods for treating boiler wastewater are relatively simple and crude, directly discharging it into wastewater treatment systems. This not only wastes a significant amount of water resources but also leads to heat loss and environmental pollution. Meanwhile, with increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements and rising energy costs, how to efficiently utilize boiler wastewater to achieve energy conservation, emission reduction, and resource recovery has become an urgent problem to be solved.
[0004] Therefore, how to develop a resource utilization system for waste heat boiler exhaust from tin smelting that is easy to operate, has good technical and economic indicators, and has virtually no safety and environmental risks is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the aforementioned technical problems in the prior art.
[0006] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a resource utilization system for wastewater from a tin smelting waste heat boiler, comprising a tin smelting waste heat boiler, a flash tank, a heat exchanger, a deoxidizer, and a spray tower connected in sequence, wherein the tin smelting waste heat boiler and the flash tank are respectively connected to the deoxidizer.
[0007] It also includes a demineralized water tank, which is connected to the heat exchanger.
[0008] The demineralized water tank is used to hold demineralized water, the flash tank is used to receive wastewater discharged from the waste heat boiler of tin smelting, the heat exchanger (plate type) is used to exchange heat between the demineralized water and the wastewater discharged from the waste heat boiler of tin smelting flowing out of the flash tank, the deaerator is used to remove oxygen from the demineralized water, and the spray tower is used to receive the gas discharged from the deaerator. All equipment is connected by pipelines.
[0009] The demineralized water tank is connected to the heat exchanger by a pipeline. The demineralized water flows from the demineralized water tank into the heat exchanger and exchanges heat with the wastewater from the tin smelting waste heat boiler after it has been depressurized and flashed in the flash tank. After the wastewater is cooled, it flows into the cooling water pool through the pipeline. The demineralized water absorbs the heat from the wastewater in the heat exchanger and then flows into the deaerator, where it absorbs the heat from the steam in the flash tank to raise its temperature and deoxidize. When the steam heat provided by the flash tank is insufficient, the electric valve connecting the tin smelting waste heat boiler and the deaerator is opened, and the steam from the tin smelting waste heat boiler is used to raise the temperature of the demineralized water. After the deoxidation meets the standards, it is sent to the tin smelting waste heat boiler for use. The oxygen and water vapor discharged during the deoxidation process of the deaerator enter the spray tower through the steam pipeline. After the water vapor is cooled, it is added to the production water.
[0010] Furthermore, the resource utilization system for the wastewater from the tin smelting waste heat boiler also includes a cooling water pool, which is connected to a heat exchanger.
[0011] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above is that the cooling water pool is used to receive the cooled wastewater.
[0012] Furthermore, the resource utilization system for the wastewater from the tin smelting waste heat boiler also includes an electric valve, which is installed between the tin smelting waste heat boiler and the deaerator.
[0013] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above is that the electric valve is used to control the switching of the waste heat boiler and deoxidizer pipeline in tin smelting.
[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a resource utilization system for waste heat boiler wastewater from tin smelting, which can effectively solve the problems of energy waste, water waste and environmental pollution in the treatment of boiler wastewater in the prior art, realize the heat energy recovery of boiler wastewater, water resource reuse and reduce pollutant emissions, and achieve the effects of energy conservation, emission reduction and efficient resource utilization.
