  • Publication number: 20240050873
    Abstract: A system and method for improving the water quality of a dehydration tower in a purified terephthalic acid device includes a dehydration washing device, a tail gas condensation device communicating with the top of the dehydration washing device, and a water separation device communicating with the tail gas condensation device. The system reduces energy consumption. The tail gas condensation device uses low-pressure vapor of about 0.05 MPa generated by an Nm-th-stage condenser as a heating medium. Working media are water and the low-pressure vapor, and no organic phase is involved in a process, and a reaction is stable and intrinsically safe. The water in the water separation tower is purified water and concentrated water, the purified water is returned to the top of the dehydration tower, and the concentrated water is mixed with a mother liquor and then enters the dehydration tower.

  • Patent number: 9850142
    Abstract: A method and device are provided for purifying and recycling water vapor from a coal drying process. Included are a temperature-lowering and dehumidifying process, a flash distillation stripping process, and a vacuum condensing process. A condensing tower receives a temperature-lowered exhaust gas with high humidity from a cooling tube and a condensed water of 5˜60° C. from a flash distillation tank, allowing the exhaust gas and the condensed water to contact each other in a vapor-liquid reverse manner, to lower the temperature and dehumidify the exhaust gas. The flash distillation tank performs a vacuum flash distillation to the condensing water pumped therein from the condensing tower. Water vapor of 5˜60° C. evaporated through flash distillation in the flash distillation tank enters into the demisting washer to be dehumidified and then is condensed. The condensed water in the vapor condenser is transferred into a recycled water tank. Non-condensable gas is discharged out.
