步骤1)中,粗氩是直接从空分送来的。粗氩中主要包括氩气、氮气和氧气,且氮气小于0.5%。
步骤2)中,冷凝液(液氩氮)回流过程中,通过排放控制阀8通过排放控制阀8控制未冷凝气的排放量及冷凝液的回流量。
具体的,塔顶采集的合格氩氮气体经塔顶气压缩机3压缩后,塔顶氩氮气体加压后冷凝温度升高,并流经蒸发冷凝器6和隔板塔1塔底的介质(富氧液体)换热,氩氮气体自身冷凝后进入回流槽2中,具体的,从回流罐侧部的回流进口进入回流槽2中,氩氮气体自身冷凝得到液氩氮以及未冷凝氮气,未冷凝氮气向上进入冷凝罐中流经塔顶冷凝器7,此时,液氮从冷料进口也进入塔顶冷凝器7,未冷凝氮气(含有部分氩气)与液氮进行热量交换,未冷凝氮气中携带的氩气进一步降温冷凝得到液氩和氮气,液氮升温后成气态氮气从冷料出口排出,与液态冷凝后的氮气继续从排气口排出,经排放控制阀8后进入排放管路排放收集,液氩向下进入回流罐与液氩氮混合,从回流罐塔底的回流出口经回流泵9和节流阀10返回隔板塔1的右侧出料口上方的塔板处,实现减压回流提高液氩的富积。
从粗氩气中精制液氩,液氩的精制工艺包括以下步骤。
首先,要对粗氩气进行降温,使其从气态变成液态然后进行精制。具体的,粗氩进入换热器5的管侧,与从冷凝器4壳侧送入的液氮进行热交换,粗氩的温度降低,然后粗氩进一步进入冷凝器4管侧,与进入冷凝器4壳侧的液氮进行交换,粗氩温度从室温降低至-180℃。
然后,粗氩进入隔板塔1的左腔室换热传质得到氩氮气体和富氧液,氩氮气体不断向上在塔顶段富集,富氧液向下在塔底段富集;同时,塔顶段富集的氩氮气体经压缩换热冷凝,得到的冷凝液(液氩氮)回流至右腔室换热传质得到氩氮气体、精氩液和富氧液,氩氮气体向上在塔顶段富集,富氧液向下在塔底段富集,精氩液作为产品采出;得到的未冷凝气经塔顶冷凝器7冷凝控制排放。
采用本实施例的精制***及精制工艺,精氩液体的纯度为99.99%。
本实施例中,冷凝液(液氩氮)作为回流液减压回流至隔板塔1内,为了保证塔顶气与蒸发冷凝器6的换热冷凝交换平衡,同时为了实现隔板塔1内液氩的富集,通过排放控制阀8控制排出***的氮气含量及及冷凝液的回流量,以保证***氮的平衡。
本实施例提供的液氩精制工艺的原理是:粗氩气经冷却成粗氩液或者空分来的粗氩液,进入隔板塔传质段,与塔内介质换热传质,塔底压缩塔顶气给塔底加热,促进塔底氩气的蒸发及氧的富集,氩氮富集塔顶,高浓度液氧富集塔底,塔顶高浓度回流液氩与氩氮气传质,隔板右侧富集高纯度的***氩作为产品采出,压缩塔顶气经蒸发冷凝器,与隔板塔1塔底的介质换热自身冷凝后,冷凝液经回流后回流至隔板塔1,塔底蒸发的气体上升与隔板两侧下降液体传质,使得隔板右侧的氩富集及塔底氩的提取,实现氩气的提浓得到精制液氩;部分未冷凝气经塔顶冷凝器7冷凝控制排放,以保证***氮的平衡。
本发明提供的精制***及精制工艺,利用热泵精馏技术,将隔板塔塔底冷量带入隔板塔塔顶,隔板塔塔顶热量带入隔板塔塔底,完成回流及氩富积纯化,节省外界输入的热量和冷量,能对回流量、氨平衡和液氩纯度进行调控,能耗低,调节灵活。
