Double-cone gas collection distribution cover for gas-liquid separation and gas dispersion method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a double-cone gas collecting and distributing cover and a method for dispersing gas, which are suitable for the fields of gas-liquid mass and heat transfer process and gas-liquid phase reaction with large liquid-gas ratio by taking liquid as a continuous phase, and are particularly suitable for providing a gas dispersing method with larger operation flexibility and high efficiency for the separation process of matter containing easy foaming.
Background
In chemical production, there are many mass transfer and separation processes including gas-liquid two-phase flow, such as ordinary rectification and absorption processes mainly characterized by mass transfer, and gas humidification and dehumidification processes requiring synchronous consideration of heat and mass transfer. The processes mostly adopt operating equipment with gas as continuous phase liquid as disperse phase, generally, the retention rate of liquid in the equipment is low, the utilization efficiency of the equipment is not high, and the requirements on the separation process with low liquid flow can be met. However, for some special rectification or absorption processes, such as extractive rectification, reactive absorption, etc., the low separation efficiency of the equipment caused by the low retention rate becomes a significant problem because of the large liquid-gas ratio required in the operation. The development of a gas-liquid mass transfer device using liquid as continuous phase gas as dispersed phase is a significant research direction, but the stability of operation needs to be solved and a gas distribution device needs to be designed elaborately. In addition, in some gas-liquid reaction processes with gas participation, the reasonable design of a gas distribution device is also a key step for developing and optimizing the reactor.
For mass transfer equipment with liquid as a continuous phase, the space size is greatly reduced compared with equipment with liquid as a dispersed phase, the gas-liquid separation space of the traditional equipment is compressed, and a special defoaming component is necessary in order not to reduce the gas-liquid two-phase separation efficiency. According to the double-cone gas collecting and distributing cover provided by the invention, the two stages of defoaming screen plates are arranged in the cover, large and small liquid beads carried in gas are finely removed step by step, and the influence of liquid foam carrying can be reduced. In addition, in order to improve the stability of operation, set up the baffle between distribution cover and defoaming screen plate, the baffle has the dual function of water conservancy diversion gas and liquid of stopping concurrently, makes the gas flow steadily.
The hydraulics experiment shows that the gas tends to be condensed into larger gas masses in the double-cone gas collecting and distributing cover when rising. When the gas load is small, the gas mass concentrates on the sieve pores at the middle upper part of the conical sieve plate and is dispersed outwards, the liquid entering the distribution cover through the sieve pores at the lower part is blocked by the conical baffle plate, and the liquid is in liquid seal with the gas mass in the cover to prevent the liquid from flowing into the cover; when the gas load is increased, the gas mass is filled in the whole distribution cover, and all the conical surface sieve holes and even the sieve holes of the annular bottom plate participate in outward dispersion of the gas. Therefore, the gas collection distribution cover can improve the unstable gas distribution phenomenon caused by the change of gas load and has the capability of automatically adjusting the operation flexibility along with the gas flow.
The double-cone gas collecting and distributing cover for gas-liquid separation and the method for dispersing gas reduce the influence of liquid foam entrainment, improve the operation stability of gas load change, improve the flow mode of gas-liquid mass transfer and hopefully improve the overall effect of gas-liquid mass transfer. The detailed structure of the present invention will be described in detail in the summary of the invention and the detailed description.
