Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compound fertilizer technology, specifically a double-tube reactor for the production of ammoniated compound fertilizer. Background Technology

[0002] The dual-tube reactor was an early core piece of equipment in the ammoniation granulation process. It physically isolates the input of acid and ammonia and optimizes granulation by utilizing in-situ reaction heat.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN206635236U, published on November 14, 2017, discloses a granulation reaction system for producing diammonium phosphate. It includes two reaction systems: tube reactor A and tube reactor B. Tube reactor A includes a first ammonia pipeline, a first medium-pressure steam pipeline, a first mixed acid pipeline, and a first reflux pipeline. Tube reactor B includes a second ammonia pipeline, a second medium-pressure steam pipeline, a second mixed acid pipeline, and a second reflux pipeline. Both the first and second mixed acid pipelines are connected to a mixed acid tank, and the two mixed acid pipelines have identical structures. This granulation reaction system modifies existing equipment by adopting a dual-tube reactor, thereby increasing production capacity, ensuring product quality, and improving economic efficiency.

[0004] As can be seen from the above patents, although the dual-tube reactor improves production capacity and ensures quality, it suffers from problems such as low uniformity of gas-liquid reaction and low mixing efficiency. Therefore, this utility model provides a dual-tube reactor for ammoniation compound fertilizer production to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a dual-tube reactor for the production of ammoniated compound fertilizer.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A reaction tube is used for the instantaneous neutralization reaction between acid and ammonia gas, and the reaction tube is connected to the acid gas tube and the ammonia gas tube respectively.

[0010] A fixing rod is used to fix the guide vane and the ammonia separator. The fixing rod is fixed at the axis of the reaction tube and extends from the bottom center of the partition to the bottom center of the reaction tube.

[0011] A flow guide plate, which is used to guide acid through the reaction tube, is fixedly installed on the fixed rod and extends from the upper part of the fixed rod to the lower middle part of the fixed rod;

[0012] An ammonia separator is used to allow ammonia gas to penetrate the acid solution and form microbubbles. The ammonia separator is fixedly installed on a fixed rod in the reaction tube and extends from the top of the reaction tube to the lower middle part of the reaction tube.

[0013] Preferably, the acid pipe and the ammonia pipe are arranged in parallel side by side, and the acid pipe and the ammonia pipe have the same specifications.

[0014] Preferably, the guide vanes are spirally distributed and the radial outer ends of the guide vanes are attached to the inner wall of the reaction tube.

[0016] Preferably, a distributor is installed at the bottom of the reaction tube, and the distributor is movably connected to the bottom of the reaction tube.

[0017] Preferably, the acid pipe and the ammonia pipe are respectively provided with a liquid inlet and a gas inlet at the ends away from the reaction pipe.

[0018] Preferably, the outer circumference of the reaction tube is surrounded by a cooling water system, which includes a cooling water inlet, a cooling water outlet, and a cooling water circulation system.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0033] Reference Figure 1-2 The present invention discloses a double-tube reactor for the production of ammoniated compound fertilizer, comprising an acid liquid pipe 1, an ammonia gas pipe 2, a baffle plate 3, a reaction pipe 4, a fixing rod 5, a guide plate 6, an ammonia separator 7, a distributor 8, a liquid inlet 9, an air inlet 10, and a cooling water system 11.

[0034] Acid pipe 1 and ammonia pipe 2, arranged in parallel and of the same specifications, are used to transport pressurized (0.2-0.5 MPa) acid (such as phosphoric acid or mixed acid) and ammonia gas, respectively. The acid and ammonia gas enter acid pipe 1 and ammonia pipe 2 through liquid inlet 9 and gas inlet 10, respectively. A baffle 3, used to prevent direct contact between acid and ammonia gas, is fixedly connected to the connection between acid pipe 1 and ammonia pipe 2 to avoid pre-reaction of acid and ammonia gas. A reaction pipe 4, used for instantaneous neutralization reaction between acid and ammonia gas, is connected to acid pipe 1 and ammonia pipe 2, respectively. A fixing rod 5, used to fix guide vane 6 and ammonia separator 7, is fixed at the axis of reaction pipe 4 and extends from the bottom center of baffle 3 to the bottom center of reaction pipe 4. A spiral guide is used to guide acid through reaction pipe 4. The guide vane 6 is fixedly installed on the fixed rod 5 and extends from the upper part of the fixed rod 5 to the middle and lower part of the fixed rod 5 to prolong the contact path and time between the acid and ammonia. The ammonia separator 7, which is used to allow ammonia to penetrate the acid and form microbubbles, is fixedly installed on the fixed rod 5 in the reaction tube 4 and extends from the top of the reaction tube 4 to the middle and lower part of the reaction tube 4. The ammonia microbubbles generated on the ammonia separator 7 increase the contact area between ammonia and acid to promote the uniform and sufficient reaction of ammonia and acid. The bottom of the reaction tube 4 is movably connected to the distributor 8, which allows the fully reacted slurry to be evenly distributed and directly sprayed into the subsequent rotary drum granulator for granulation.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the ammonia separator 7 is densely covered with mesh holes, which are installed in a three-dimensional shape in the guide plate 6 and cover the guide plate 6. The presence of the three-dimensional mesh holes is conducive to the ammonia gas penetrating the acid liquid to form more microbubbles. The presence of more microbubbles is conducive to increasing the contact area between the ammonia gas and the acid liquid, further promoting the uniform and sufficient reaction of the ammonia gas and the acid liquid, and improving the mixing efficiency.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the outer circumference of the reaction tube 4 is surrounded by a cooling water system 11. The cooling water system 11 includes a cooling water inlet 1101, a cooling water outlet 1102, and a cooling water circulation system 1103. Cooling water flows out from the cooling water circulation system 1103 and enters the cooling water system 11 through the cooling water inlet 1101 to cool the reaction tube 4 and thus control the reaction temperature, avoiding local overheating that could lead to nutrient decomposition. Cooling water flows out of the cooling water outlet 1102 and enters the cooling water circulation system 1103 for heat exchange before continuing the above-mentioned circulation cooling.

[0037] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows:

[0038] Pressurized (0.2-0.5 MPa) acid solution (such as phosphoric acid or mixed acid) and ammonia gas are introduced into acid solution pipe 1 and ammonia gas pipe 2 respectively through liquid inlet 9 and gas inlet 10. After being blocked by baffle 3, the acid solution (such as phosphoric acid or mixed acid) and ammonia gas enter reaction pipe 4. The acid solution is guided by spiral guide plate 6 to flow spirally in reaction pipe 4. Ammonia gas forms microbubbles through the three-dimensional mesh holes of ammonia separator 7 and undergoes instantaneous neutralization reaction with acid solution. Cooling water from cooling water system 11 flows out from cooling water circulation system 1103, passes through cooling water inlet 1101 and cooling water outlet 1102 in sequence to cool reaction pipe 4, and then flows back into cooling water circulation system 1103 to form a cycle. After fully reacting, the slurry is evenly distributed by distributor 8 and directly sprayed into subsequent rotary drum granulator for granulation.

[0039] Of course, the embodiments described in this specific implementation are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
