The invention discloses a method for quickly converting
NOx tail gas into
potassium nitrate, and solves the problems of the conventional
tail gas treatment for existing enterprises in the prior art, such as high
tail gas treatment cost, environmental
pollution and the like. The method is characterized in that a
nitrogen oxide and a
potassium chloride solution (or a
mixed solution) are rapidly converted into
potassium nitrate in an absorption
tower. The purity of
potassium nitrate is controlled through controlling the concentration of dilute
nitric acid, the volume of dilute
nitric acid and the added amount of potassium
chloride, and the purity of
potassium nitrate is further improved through adopting the saturated solution of
potassium nitrate as a scrubbing solution. Meanwhile, the yield of potassium
nitrate is judged based on the concentration of Cl. Specifically, the method comprises the steps of (1) absorbing the industrial tail gas containing
NOx, and converting the tail gas into
nitric acid, wherein a 1%
salt crystallization inhibitor is previously added in an absorbent; (2) reacting nitric acid with potassium
chloride to convert the tail gas into potassium nitrate; (3) separating the HCl gas and dissolving out the potassium nitrate; (4) washing and separating the potassium nitrate; (5)
drying the potassium nitrate and recycling the filtrate. The above method has the advantages of convenient operation,
environmental protection, energy saving and the like. Based on the method, the
NOx-contained tail gas of a chemical enterprise is directly converted into the potassium nitrate. Therefore, the method has wide popularization and application value.
