The invention relates to a method and a device for treating converted gas in the production of
sodium nitrate. The device comprises a conversion
tower, a pre-conversion
tower, an electric deentrainment
tower, a gas-liquid separator, an acid-seal device and an absorption tower, wherein the electric deentrainment tower is provided with a constant-current high-pressure direct-
current electric field for conversion. The gas outlet on the top of the conversion tower is connected with the converted gas inlet of the pre-conversion tower. The converted gas outlet of the pre-conversion tower is connected with the converted gas inlet, the converted gas outlet is connected with the absorption tower, and the separation liquid outlet is connected with the acid-seal device.
Sodium nitrite mother solution and dilute
nitric acid are subjected to
conversion reaction in the conversion tower to produce
sodium nitrate solution and converted gas, the
sodium nitrate solution is sent to a nitrate work section to produce
sodium nitrate product, and the converted gas enters into the pre-conversion tower to be subjected to pre-
conversion reaction with the mother solution. The converted gas departing from the pre-conversion tower enters an alkali absorption
system after the acid mist and liquid drops of
nitric acid and fine foams of nitrate solution are removed by passing though the constant-current high-pressure direct-
current electric field of the electric deentrainment tower. According to the method and the device for treating converted gas in the production of
sodium nitrate, the high-
voltage direct-
current electric field is utilized to capture impurities in the converted gas so as to purify the converted gas, the use ratio of converted gas is increased, and the quality of
sodium nitrite product and
sodium nitrate product are improved.
