Wet method used for preparing sulfuric acid from exhaust gas containing hydrogen sulfide

Abstract

The invention discloses a wet method used for preparing sulfuric acid from exhaust gas containing hydrogen sulfide, and belongs to the technical field of waste gas treatment in environmental protection industry and chemical production. The wet method comprises following steps: removal of nitrogen compounds of the exhaust gas containing hydrogen sulfide is realized using dilute sulphuric acid with a mass fraction of 30 to 50%; the treated exhaust gas containing hydrogen sulfide is delivered into an incinerator, preheated air is added so as to maintain a combustion temperature of 700 to 1000 DEG C and a reducing / oxidizing atmosphere, so that sufficient burning of hydrogen sulfide and other combustible components is realized, and generation amount of nitrogen oxide is reduced; high temperature gas at an incinerator outlet is delivered into a medium pressure waste heat boiler so as to recycle heat energy and byproduct saturated vapour; flue gas containing sulfur dioxide at a waste heat boiler outlet is delivered directly into a converter, and flue gas containing sulfur trioxide and vapour is obtained via primary conversion; reaction heat in the converter is removed in time using heat-exchange equipment; flue gas at a converter outlet is delivered into at least primary-stage condenser tube pass, and an appropriate amount of air is delivered into condenser shell pass to be used as a cooling medium; heat energy of high temperature concentrated sulfuric acid flows out from the bottom of the condenser is recycled via a desalting water preheater and an acid cooler; and exhaust gas at a condenser outlet is delivered into a desulfurization tower so as to remove sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of waste gas treatment and chemical production in environmental protection, and in particular relates to a wet method for producing sulfuric acid from waste gas containing hydrogen sulfide. technical background

[0002] Waste gas containing hydrogen sulfide is generally produced in the processes of petroleum refining, natural gas purification, coking, coal gasification and viscose fiber production. Hydrogen sulfide-containing waste gas sometimes also contains carbonyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, ammonia and other components. Because hydrogen sulfide is highly toxic and flammable, the gas cannot be released directly into the atmosphere and must be disposed of. Conventional methods for treating waste gas containing hydrogen sulfide include the recovery of sulfur by the Claus method, or the production of sulfuric acid by wet or dry processes. The Claus method has a long process flow and a large investment in e...
