VOC Exhaust Gas Treatment
I.Characteristics of VOC Exhaust Gas
VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are common pollutants in industrial production, widely originating from industries such as chemical engineering, coating, printing, pharmaceuticals, and packaging. VOCs have complex physicochemical properties and are diverse in type. Based on their chemical structure, they can be classified into alkanes, alkenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, oxygenated organic compounds, and halogenated hydrocarbons. Some VOCs are flammable, explosive, highly volatile, highly toxic, and prone to causing photochemical pollution, harming not only the ecological environment but also human health.
II. Process Introduction
The VOC exhaust gas treatment adopts a fully closed-loop process flow of exhaust gas pretreatment → adsorption concentration → desorption regeneration → catalytic combustion → emission in compliance with standards. The process is mature and stable, and can achieve efficient VOC purification and resource recovery. The various stages are closely connected and the entire process is controllable. Specific details are as follows:
1. Exhaust gas pretreatment: VOC exhaust gas is sent into the pretreatment system by an induced draft fan. Dust, oil and other impurities are removed by the filter device to avoid clogging the adsorbent and affecting the adsorption effect. Then, the exhaust gas is cooled to 30-40℃ by the heat exchanger to meet the requirements of the subsequent adsorption process. The pretreated exhaust gas is then sent into the adsorption tower.
2. Adsorption and concentration: the pretreated VOC tail gas enters the honeycomb activated carbon adsorption tower. Under normal temperature and pressure, VOC molecules are adsorbed and retained by the activated carbon, thus purifying the tail gas. The purified tail gas (VOC concentration ≤30mg/m³) directly meets the emission standards. When the adsorbent reaches saturation, it is switched to the standby adsorption tower to ensure continuous operation. The saturated adsorption tower enters the desorption and regeneration stage.
3. Desorption and regeneration: high-temperature hot air desorption process is adopted, in which hot air is heated to 120-150℃ and passed into a saturated adsorption tower to desorb VOC molecules adsorbed on activated carbon, forming high-concentration VOC gas; the desorbed activated carbon restores its adsorption activity and can be recycled and reused, significantly reducing operating costs; the high-concentration VOC gas generated by desorption is sent to the catalytic combustion section.
4. Catalytic combustion and emission: high-concentration VOC gas is preheated to 200-300℃ by a heat exchanger and then sent to a catalytic combustion reactor. Under the action of a precious metal catalyst, an oxidation reaction occurs, converting VOCs into harmless carbon dioxide and water, with a catalytic efficiency of ≥98%. The waste heat generated by the reaction is recovered and used for desorption hot air heating, realizing energy recycling. The final treated exhaust gas is tested and the VOC emission concentration is far below the industry standard, achieving compliance with emission standards.
