Be convenient membrane separation apparatus and the membrane sepn oxygen preparation of explaining the membrane sepn process, lexical or textual analysis is following:
Shown in accompanying drawing 3, M01 be a kind of 3 mouthfuls of membrane separators, each membrane separator is at least by 1 virgin gas inlet A0; 1 retained gas outlet A1,1 infiltration gas outlet A2 forms, and the separation membrane in the membrane separation apparatus has been divided into both sides at least; One side is the malleation side, and a side is a suction side, and the malleation side also is the virgin gas side of membrane separation apparatus; Be also referred to as high-tension side, retained gas side, suction side also is the infiltrating gas side of membrane separation apparatus, is also referred to as low-tension side, suction side.
It shown in accompanying drawing 3 process that the membrane sepn of prior art is produced oxygen-rich air; Wherein, Gas filters out the impurity malleation sides that the back gets into membrane separation apparatus from the virgin gas inlet A0 of membrane separation apparatus after the device A B01 that boosts boosts such as dust through AF01; In membrane separation apparatus; Gas through a part behind the membrane sepn be penetrated into low-tension side, the per-meate side enrichment becomes oxygen enrichment from permeating gas outlet A2 output, in addition a part of enrichment the oxygen deprivation nitrogen-rich gas that is difficult to permeate then be excluded out membrane separation apparatus from being detained side outlet A1.To the membrane sepn process of separating oxygen enrichment in air, general, it is more relevant than the ratio (being called sky oxygen ratio) of (being called the separating pressure ratio) and virgin gas and oxygen enriched product gas with the absolute pressure of suction side through membrane separation apparatus malleation side with oxygen nitrogen separation factor (being called alpha value), the gas of separation membrane that membrane sepn is produced the purity of oxygen; Oxygen nitrogen separation factor is high more, means than under to isolate more highly purified oxygen rich gas at lower separating pressure ratio and littler empty oxygen, to identical separation membrane; Separating pressure is higher than more, can obtain more highly purified oxygen enrichment, and empty oxygen is bigger than more; Can obtain more highly purified oxygen enrichment, and on the other hand, the flow that membrane sepn is produced oxygen enrichment is the infiltration capacity of separation membrane; Main relevant with the temperature and the pressure of unstripped gas; To identical separation membrane, separation temperature is high more, and infiltration capacity is big more; Separating pressure is high more, and infiltration capacity is big more.
Therefore, when adopting different separation systems, have different separation mechanisms; The purpose of the power-equipment that is provided with is also different, and as adopting in the membrane sepn process that rolling or board-like separator carry out, mainly fresh air is provided is main purpose to the device A of boosting B01 to satisfy; Overcome the resistance that fluid is carried, typical, adopt rolling diaphragm separator; 1~the 10KPa that boosts, preferred, set up the gas communication resistance that the blast of 2~5KPa has to overcome rolled film itself; And adopt board-like film; Even only need set up tens of blast to the hundreds of handkerchief, and more having the device A B01 that boosts is placed on after the board-like film way as the exhaust gas emission blower fan, purpose also only is in order to overcome resistance that raw air gets into membrane separation apparatus so that the purpose of fresh air constantly to be provided.Simultaneously, vacuum apparatus AB02 is a main purpose to satisfy the required pressure ratio of separation mainly then, and the separating pressure ratio of promptly setting up the skinning both sides is 3~10; More typical, rolled film, the board-like film made at 2~3 separation membrane at the alpha value that adopts parting material are when required oxygen-enriched purity is 30% left and right sides; The separating pressure ratio that need set up the skinning both sides approximately is about 4, that is, be the blast of 2~5KPa like the malleation wall pressure of film; Absolute pressure is normal atmosphere (101.325 KPa)+(2~5KPa); Then suction side should be set up the absolute pressure of the about 25kpa vacuum tightness of 75KPa gauge pressure (be equivalent to-), and like this, separating pressure is than being 4 times of [101.325+ (2~5KPa)]/25 ≌; Can obtain about 30% oxygen-enriched purity; Obviously, in this process, the device A of boosting B01 is for keeping separating pressure than being about 4 to provide the blast of fresh air more limited than contributing to separating pressure; Be main to satisfy the required resistance that overcomes of conveying only, the vacuum power of about 25kpa that vacuum apparatus AB02 provides is only the major impetus source of satisfying the separating pressure ratio.
And carry out with hollow-fibre membrane in the oxygen nitrogen separating process another kind of, typical, boost like the employing device A B01 that boosts; Its effect the more important thing is in order to obtain to separate required absolute pressure then not only in order to overcome the resistance of membrane separation apparatus M01, is improved the separating pressure ratio of film both sides; Common way can only boost to suitable pressure with the device A B01 that boosts, and after keeping separating required pressure ratio, omits vacuum apparatus AB02; Typically, when the hollow fiber membrane separator of making at 5~7 separation membrane at the alpha value that adopts parting material separates, when required oxygen-enriched purity is 30~60% left and right sides; The separating pressure ratio that need set up the skinning both sides approximately is more than 4, that is, be the pressure of 300~1300KPa like the malleation wall pressure of film; Absolute pressure is that normal atmosphere (101.325 KPa)+(400~1300KPa), suction side or per-meate side then only need keep normal atmosphere discharging (vacuum tightness that is equivalent to 0 KPa gauge pressure), like this; Separating pressure can obtain about 30~60% oxygen-enriched purity than for 4~14 times of [101.325+ (300~1300KPa)]/101.325 ≌, obviously; In this process; The device A of boosting B01 is that fresh air is provided about 4~14 times for keeping the separating pressure ratio, and to the separating pressure that keeps sepn process compared with conclusive effect, not only to carry the required resistance that overcomes be main to satisfy; After satisfying the required absolute pressure ratio of separation, vacuum apparatus AB02 then need not to be provided with because of only keeping normal pressure.
Simultaneously, no matter adopt which kind of membrane separation apparatus form, a membrane sepn oxygen preparation all need satisfy suitable empty oxygen ratio; To avoid the concentration polarization phenomenon, popular saying promptly is to need to satisfy constantly to separate required fresh air, and air quantity is looked the alpha value of parting material and required oxygen-enriched purity requirement; Typically, like the rolled film made from the separation membrane of alpha value 2~3, board-like film, in order to obtain the oxygen enrichment about 30%; Typically, get into the required air quantity of membrane separation apparatus M01 through the device A B01 that boosts and be approximately 8~20 times of oxygen-rich air flow, more typical; Be 10~15 times of required oxygen enrichment flow, and for example hollow-fibre membrane is typical; Like the hollow-fibre membrane made from the separation membrane of alpha value 5~7,, typical in order to obtain the oxygen enrichment about 30%; Get into the required air quantity of membrane separation apparatus M01 through the device A B01 that boosts and be approximately 2~5 times of oxygen-rich air flow, more typical, be 2.5 times of required oxygen enrichment flow; The purity that needs is high more, requires big more at the constant space-time oxygen ratio of other conditions.
Like accompanying drawing 3, with reference to above-mentioned, the professional and technical personnel can understand; Virgin gas gets into membrane separation apparatus M01 separated waste gases through the device A B01 that boosts to be got rid of from A1, and oxygen enrichment is collected to send into through AB02 and used the gas point, in order to obtain stable oxygen purity, oxygen flow; In this process because of type selecting confirmed to boost air quantity, the blast of device A B01; The air quantity of AB02, blast, also type selecting has been confirmed membrane separation apparatus M01, the oxygen nitrogen separation factor of its parting material and separating area are all definite; When the applied environment temperature variation, will change according to following trend:
When 1, envrionment temperature raise, the temperature that gets into membrane separation apparatus raise, and will strengthen to its infiltration capacity of membrane separation apparatus of confirming area and material assertive evidence characteristic; Simultaneously, the rising of separation temperature also will cause the decline of separation factor; What is more important because the increasing of infiltration capacity, can not satisfy the pumping speed of the vacuum pump AB02 that directly causes being provided with to be drawn into predetermined separating pressure; The reduction of the oxygen-enriched purity that this all will cause separating, simultaneously, the oxygen enrichment flow of separating will rise;
When 2, envrionment temperature descended, the temperature that gets into membrane separation apparatus descended, and will reduce to its infiltration capacity of membrane separation apparatus of confirming area and material intrinsic property, simultaneously; The decline of separation temperature, separation factor will increase, but what is more important; Because reducing of infiltration capacity is excessive with the pumping speed of the vacuum apparatus AB02 that directly causes being provided with, until surpassing predetermined separating pressure; The rising of the aforementioned oxygen-enriched purity that these all will cause separating, but simultaneously, total oxygen enrichment flow of separating will descend.
More than, because the change of envrionment temperature will directly cause all producing significantly fluctuation for oxygen enrichment flow and purity that the oxygen-enriched combustion-supporting system provides the film separating system of oxygenant to produce, be unfavorable for carrying out oxygen-enriched combustion-supporting.
The utility model is just in order to address the above problem; Propose a cover and installed the film separating system that inlet air temperature compensates additional; Shown in accompanying drawing 1, can exchange the low grade heat energies such as waste gas that kiln burning produces through interchanger when getting into and obtain stable virgin gas separation temperature, under all constant situation of other separation condition because of virgin gas; As typically; Air quantity, the blast of the device A of boosting B01, the pumping speed of vacuum apparatus AB02, vacuum tightness, the parting material of membrane separation apparatus is confirmed and separating area is confirmed; Under the condition that these conditions are all confirmed in front; The present invention can avoid flow, the oxygen purity of the oxygen-rich air that film separating system causes because of variation of ambient temperature (envrionment temperature of different installation application occasions is different, even same place is different because of the envrionment temperature of spring, summer, autumn and winter) to produce huge variation, and this variation is eliminated or being relieved in the scope that meets the oxygen-enriched combustion-supporting requirement:
1, raw air is through strainer AF01; The corpuscular property impurity such as dust that contain in the gas are held back the back get into back level separation system; This strainer can be the strainer of arbitrary form as known technology is described, comprises the strainer that can adopt complex method, automatically cleaning form;
2, gas can divide two-way to send into the device A B01 that boosts after filtering, and one the tunnel directly sends into from V01; Other one the tunnel sends into interchanger TC01 from V02 carries out sending into after the heat exchange, and two bypasses are regulated flow with variable valve V01, V02 respectively, regulates through the Temperature Feedback that receives the TE01 monitoring; With the stable gas temperature that gets into membrane separation apparatus, keep the gas temperature that gets into the device A B01 that boosts and tend towards stability, typical; When operating ambient temperature low; As moving in winter, temperature is reduced to-20 ℃, can be through reducing the circulation of variable valve V01; The circulation that strengthens variable valve V02 realizes stable virgin gas temperature with preheating of air, finally guarantees the flow of oxygen-rich air and the stablizing of purity of separation system outlet;
3, simultaneously, preferred but non-essentially carry out an oxygen-rich air preheating, from the oxygen-rich air of vacuum apparatus AB02 outlet output preferentially with low grade heat energies such as interchanger TC02 exchange stove waste gas with the preheating oxygen enrichment;
4 and, typical adopt the utilizing on the mode of low grade heat energy at one, preferably exchange the heat energy from waste gas that the kiln chimney is discharged, and, like accompanying drawing 2, at first with countercurrent direction preheating oxygen enrichment again with countercurrent direction preheating material air.
Different with prior art; Through temperature stabilizer system to raw air; The present invention can continous-stable obtain oxygen rich gas with membrane separating method, its purity, the relative prior art of flow are comparatively stable when variation of ambient temperature, and; Method of the present invention has fully reclaimed heat energy from waste gas; Solve the key technical problem that the required oxygenant of oxygen-enriched combusting is provided with membrane separating method with simple method, relatively inexpensive laid down cost and running cost, not only strengthened the stability of system, also improved system total efficiency.
The utility model priority application is that oxygen-enriched combusting provides oxygenant in constituent of air membrane sepn process, but disclosed fundamental principle can be used for much other separation occasions.Can realize that through method of the present invention isolating representative instance comprises the separation, gas drying, the separation of carbonic acid gas/methane, separation, the separation of hydrogen/nitrogen and the separating of olefin/paraffin of titanium dioxide carbon/nitrogen gas of oxygen/nitrogen.
