[0003] That is, in the Solvent recovered system using activated carbon fiber as the adsorbing element, to supply [first step and adsorption step] solvent-containing gas to the adsorbing element (treated gas-crude gas), the solvent gas Adsorb and clean gas (clean air) is discharged out of the system.

[0004] In the case of granular coal, the amount of filling in the adsorption / desorption can is large, so that the adsorption amount per cycle is large and the cycle time is long. Solvent recovery equipment using ACF requires a small amount of ACF to be filled as much as possible because of high adsorption performance, high pressure loss, high price of adsorbent, and short desorption time. It is common to make it short and fast. Therefore, at present, the process switching time of the adsorption / desorption is shortened (6 minutes to 20 minutes).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In general, a solvent recovery device is provided with a cylindrical adsorption element made of ACF in a can, and the adsorption element supplies a gas to be treated to the adsorption element. A device is known which removes the gas after passing therethrough as a clean gas and supplies water vapor to the adsorption element for desorption, and recovers the gas as a desorption gas after passing through the adsorption element (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-7939,

In such an apparatus, the space from the outer periphery of the adsorption element to the desorption gas outlet is temporarily defined as a space where the gas before passing through the adsorption element remains in the can (tentatively, this space is called a low concentration gas space). Is inevitably present, and immediately after the supply of the gas to be treated is stopped, the gas to be treated (raw gas) before passing through the ACF layer is filled.

The gas (original gas) filling the low-concentration gas space before passing through the ACF layer is several tens to several hundreds p.
It contains solvent gas in pm units. The low-concentration gas existing in the low-concentration gas space is blown out first when supplying the desorbed steam, but at the same time contains the desorbed solvent. The separation of the solvent from the gas (air) is more difficult than the separation of the water vapor and the solvent, and the solvent is discharged at each cycle without being condensed.

The generation of the uncondensed gas has the following mechanism. The ACF adsorbing element, the solvent adsorbed on the ACF adsorbing element, and gas (air) for one can at atmospheric pressure are present in the can in the state where the adsorption is completed. Then, in the desorption step, water vapor is blown as soon as the process proceeds from the adsorption step to the desorption step. The blown water vapor desorbs the adsorbed solvent while passing through the ACF layer.

At the very early stage of the desorption process,
Since the air still remains, the solvent desorbed therein is vaporized, and the solvent gas vaporized at a high concentration in the early stage of desorption exists in the air for one can. The fact that the desorption speed of the ACF is very fast acts, and this situation progresses at once. These are then sent to the next condensation step.

At the time of positive condensation, these gases are cooled and condensed, but what matters here is the solvent vaporized in the air, that is, the solvent gas.

This solvent gas exists as a saturated gas concentration at the temperature cooled in the condensation step, and cannot be further condensed. Here, if the saturation concentration is to be further lowered, the cooling temperature must be further lowered. However, a problem such as freezing of moisture is newly generated, which is not practical. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a system for actually accepting and circulating uncondensed gas. Since the uncondensed gas has a high concentration, it cannot be discharged to the atmosphere as it is, but is recycled to the adsorption side.

[0013] As a result, the recycled solvent becomes an extra load on the adsorption side, and the amount of ACF must be increased accordingly. In particular, since the concentration of the uncondensed gas is higher as the solvent has a lower boiling point, the load on the adsorption side increases. The uncondensed gas to be adsorbed again is wasteful from its original purpose. For this reason, it is necessary to reduce the absolute amount of the solvent in the uncondensed gas.

According to the organic solvent recovery method of the present invention, [B-
When the air is replaced by steam in the two steps, the air in the can exits the can with a low gas concentration of 30 to 50%. The low-concentration gas is returned to the adsorption step after passing through the condensation step. The gas expelled by the water vapor contains almost no desorbed gas, and the lower the concentration, the less the load applied to the ACF adsorption element. Also, according to the present invention,
The air in the space from the activated carbon fiber layer to the outlet, which is a passage through which the desorbed steam passing through the activated carbon fiber layer adsorbing the solvent remains at a high concentration containing the desorbed gas, is [B- because it is already replaced with water vapor in two steps], the difficult in the air condensed and separated, that desorbed SOLVENTS gas diffusion can be reduced.

First, the air is replaced by steam. Next, water vapor is blown from the inside to the outside of the activated carbon fiber adsorption element so as to heat the entire ACF, and the solvent adsorbed on the activated carbon fiber is desorbed. At this time, the gas concentration becomes the same as in the conventional method, but the amount of air remaining in the can is already 50 to 70%.

The blown water vapor heats the air in the space A and the ACF adsorption element 2, desorbs the solvent adsorbed on the ACF, and is sent to the condenser 3 through the outlet valve 6 together with the air in the space A. . The desorbed gas is cooled by cooling water in the condenser 3, and water vapor and some of the solvent are condensed.
However, the air in the can 1 becomes almost saturated solvent gas at a temperature cooled by the condenser, and returns to the can 1 'during the adsorption process through the circulation route a to the adsorption side.

In the present invention, there is provided a replacement steam valve 5 for supplying steam to the space a , and the replacement steam valve 5 and the outlet valve 6 are first opened prior to desorption. By opening the replacement steam valve 5, a small amount of steam (the flow rate is adjusted by a needle valve or the like) is blown into the can 1. The blown water vapor passes through the space a, and the outside of the ACF adsorption element 2 is shown in FIG.
Flows like the route b. At that time, the air in the space
It is pushed out by the steam of the route and reaches the condenser 3 through the outlet valve 6.

At this time, since the ACF layer is only slightly heated, the desorption has hardly progressed, and the volume of air corresponding to this space A is extremely low, and the solvent concentration of the gas to be treated is extremely low.

In this manner, the air in the space A is replaced by the steam with a small amount of steam. Next, the desorption steam valve 4 is opened to start desorption. At this time, the amount of air in the can 1, which is a source of the uncondensed gas, is equal to the volume of the can minus the space a. In the remaining air, the solvent is sent to the condenser in a gaseous state, and becomes an uncondensed gas and a condensate at the cooling temperature. As described above, even when the amount of uncondensed gas generated during desorption (in the present invention, the replacement step and the desorption step are collectively referred to as a desorption or desorption step) does not change, in the case of the present invention, the amount of uncondensed gas By partially lowering the concentration, the absolute amount of the solvent in the uncondensed gas can be reduced, and the circulating load on the adsorption side can be reduced by about half.
