Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of urea preparation, and is specifically an energy-saving urea production system and a production process thereof. Background technique [0002] Urea【CO(NH 2 ) 2 】Alternatives are carbamide, carbamide, urea, which mainly exist in the urine excreted by humans and animals in nature. It has a wide range of uses, not only a high-efficiency nitrogen fertilizer used in agricultural production, but also a common chemical raw material in industry. [0003] In 1773, the chemist Rouelle first discovered urea while evaporating urine. It was identified as a new substance by FoUrcray and Vauqudin in 1798 and named it urea. In 1828, Uvohler produced urea while heating ammonium cyanate in the laboratory. The reaction was: Nl{4CN0=NH2c∞m2. In 1886, Bassroff's first successful experiment was adopted by modern industry. A method of directly synthesizing urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide. [0004] In 1922, Germany first used ammonia and c...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0014] However, the production process of the aqueous solution full circulation method in the above-mentioned prior art still has the following technical defects: first, the common urea synthesis tower of the existing aqueous solution full circulation process generally has the following problems: uneven mixing of materials, uneven distribution of reaction heat, and partial urea synthesis rate. Low' and other defects

However, to design a urea synthesis high-pressure ring, the technical difficulty of equipment design and manufacture is very high, and the investment is also expensive, which makes it difficult to increase the conversion rate of urea synthesis to about 73%.

[0015] Second, the consumption of products is higher

Due to the low conversion rate of the aqueous solution full circulation method, there are many materials that need to be heated and decomposed, resulting in high steam consumption. Therefore, the steam consumption of this process is relatively high. Generally, the steam consumption per ton of urea is about 1100kg.

At the same time, because the decomposed materials need to be recycled, the consumption of circulating cooling water is increased. Generally, the consumption of circulating cooling water per ton of urea is 140M 3

[0016] Third, the graded utilization of heat is poor

Although the domestic improved full circulation method of aqueous solution has high energy consumption, the investment is relatively low. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a urea production process with low investment and low energy consumption, which can reach the international advanced level.
