TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of resource utilization of sulfur hexafluoride, and particularly relates to a novel method and device for resource utilization and conversion of sulfur hexafluoride. BACKGROUND
[0002] Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-explosive inert gas with a very stable molecular structure. Due to its excellent physical and chemical properties, SF6 is widely used in the power equipment, metal smelting, semiconductor manufacturing, and aerospace industries, among which the use of SF6 in the electrical field accounts for 80% of the total annual use of SF6. However, SF6 has strong infrared radiation absorption capacity and is a strong greenhouse gas with a global warming potential (GWP) of 23500 times that of CO2. In the past five years, the content of SF6 in the atmosphere has increased by 20%, and scientists estimate that its atmospheric content will increase by 75% by 2030.
[0003] However, with the rapid economic development, the demand for SF6 in human society will only be greater than before, and humans are facing increasingly severe SF6 governance problems. In recent years, replacing SF6 with environmentally friendly gases is the trend of the times, but in the field of electric power, its effect is not as good as SF6, and the use of SF6 in today's power system is still huge. At present, more than 10000t of SF6 gas is used every year in the world, of which more than 80% is used in gas-insulated equipment in the power industry. The damage, leakage, and maintenance of gas-insulated equipment will face the problem of SF6 gas treatment. Therefore, how to recycle and discharge SF6 waste gas has become a hot issue in the field of electric power environmental protection.
[0004] In recent years, the main means of degrading SF6 gas include thermal catalytic degradation, photolysis, electrolysis, low-temperature plasma method, etc. Among them, the low-temperature plasma treatment technology has less stringent requirements on reaction conditions compared to other methods, has the advantages of convenience, low energy consumption, and more thorough treatment, and has a very broad application prospect. At the same time, related technologies have been reported to be applied in the treatment of SF6 waste gas.
[0005] At present, the method for treating SF6 gas mainly collects, purifies, and stores SF6 gas, and uses heat cracking and water washing, etc. to treat SF6 waste gas. For the discharge treatment process of SF6, the mainstream method is to use dielectric barrier discharge, microwave discharge, etc. to form a plasma region in a specified reactor to decompose and treat SF6 gas. SF6 needs to be diluted during the treatment process, and the dilution gas is commonly nitrogen, air, etc. Ultimately, more than 90% of the degradation effect can be achieved.
[0006] In essence, SF6 is a molecule with great recycling value and resource conversion potential, and its sulfur and fluorine elements can be used to prepare various sulfur-containing and fluorine-containing industrial raw materials. However, existing SF6 degradation strategies focus on performance improvement, and the toxic and corrosive degradation tail gas such as SO2, SOF2, SO2F2 and HF produced is usually neutralized and absorbed by lye, and the solid waste produced needs to be landfilled for treatment, which consumes a large amount of industrial raw materials and also wastes sulfur and fluorine resources. SUMMARY

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0031] 1. The background gas of this invention is easily excited and ionized in the discharge reaction region to generate high-energy electrons, which collide with and activate SF6, causing it to break bonds and decompose to generate fluorine particles and low-fluorine sulfides (SF6). x Without background gas, SF6 gas is difficult to ionize and decompose.
[0032] 2. The background gas in this invention also plays a role in diluting SF6, enabling precise dilution ratios and thus improving the degradation effect of SF6.
[0033] 3. This invention first performs a primary discharge treatment on SF6, causing it to dissociate into fluorine atoms and low-fluorine sulfides. The fluorine atoms and low-fluorine sulfides then undergo a fluorination reaction with metallic tungsten, converting the fluorine atoms and low-fluorine sulfides into WF6 while simultaneously reducing sulfur to elemental sulfur. The fluorination reaction temperature is controlled at 120-160℃ to ensure the generated elemental sulfur is liquid, facilitating its collection. The WF6-containing mixed gas is then condensed, and the liquefied WF6 is separated and collected. The condensed mixed gas is then mixed with water vapor, and the water vapor-containing mixed gas undergoes a secondary discharge treatment. Under the action of water vapor, the mixed gas further degrades, with the degradation products becoming more predominantly SO2 and HF. SO2 and HF are then separated. The separated HF is processed using a "hydrogen fluoride-liquid ammonia" liquid-phase method to obtain industrial raw materials ammonium fluoride and ammonium hydrogen fluoride. The separated SO2 is processed using a wet ammonia method to obtain industrial raw materials ammonium sulfite and ammonium sulfate.
[0034] 4. In this invention, the plasma reactor is placed tilted or vertically, and liquid elemental sulfur can flow downward along the tube wall of the plasma reactor. A sulfur collection area is set at the bottom of the plasma reactor to collect the generated elemental sulfur.
[0035] 5. The condenser temperature of the present invention can be adjusted according to the product, and the temperature can be controlled between 5℃ and 15℃. The generated WF6 gas can be cooled down to become liquid, and the WF6 liquid can be collected for long-term storage, transportation and purification.
[0036] 6. This invention is the first to propose using non-toxic SF6 waste gas to replace highly toxic fluorine gas in the reaction with W under plasma conditions to generate WF6. Compared with the traditional method of preparing WF6 with metallic W and fluorine gas (F2) at high temperature, the reaction temperature is greatly reduced, thereby greatly reducing energy consumption. Moreover, the operation is safe, realizing the utilization of sulfur and fluorine resources of SF6 and solving the problem of low SF6 conversion rate. Attached Figure Description
