Application of air pneumatic conveyer to recycling calcium carbide dust
The process of Yunnan Tianye Chemical Co.,Ltd.using air instead of nitrogen gas to transport calcium carbide dust was introduced.Base on water vapor pressure difference at different temper-atures in the air,the possibility of calcium carbide dust transportation by air was verified through theoreti-cal calculations,and an air rotary dehumidification unit was independently designed.After the air was de-hydrated by the rotary dehumidification unit,the dry air met the safety control requirements for transpor-ting calcium carbide dust.Compared with traditional nitrogen conveying equipment,this system was sim-ple to operate and maintenance,with lower operating costs.
