This invention relates to the field of gas purification technology and discloses a low-energy desulfurization method: (1) acidic gas and foaming liquid are contacted in a microbubble generator to generate
microbubbles, resulting in a gas-liquid mixture; wherein the foaming liquid includes ultrafine particles and complexed iron desulfurization liquid I, the particle size of which is 10-100 μm; (2) the mixture and complexed iron desulfurization liquid II are contacted counter-currently in an absorption
tower to undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction, resulting in purified gas and desulfurized rich liquid; (3) the desulfurized rich liquid and air are oxidized and regenerated in an oxidation regeneration tank to obtain regenerated gas, regenerated lean liquid, and regenerated
sulfur slurry; (4) the regenerated
sulfur slurry is separated in a separator to obtain
sulfur and filtrate; the regenerated lean liquid and / or filtrate are returned to the absorption
tower for recycling. The low-energy desulfurization method provided in this invention can improve the bubble effect of the microbubble generator, reduce the
impact energy consumption of the microbubble generator, improve the
mass transfer efficiency of the absorption
tower, and help reduce desulfurization
energy consumption.
