Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wet flue gas desulfurization, in particular to a flue gas desulfurization process, a pH value adjusting method and related matching processes. BACKGROUND
[0002] Sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas is one of the world's recognized major atmospheric pollutants, which can cause diseases of human respiratory system and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, and cause major environmental problems such as water and soil acidification, haze, and seriously threaten human health and ecological environment safety. The main sources of SO2 emission are the use of fossil fuels, such as coal-fired power plants, metal smelting plants, etc. With the continuous development of economy and society, fossil fuels will still be used in large quantities as the main source of world energy. The energy structure of fossil fuels in China has the characteristics of lack of oil, less gas, and rich coal, and this situation will not change in the foreseeable future. Coal will be a long-term pillar of energy supply in China. The average sulfur content of the proven coal resources in China is 1.13%, which is at a high level. Therefore, in order to maintain the stable economic growth of China and at the same time protect the ecological environment benefits, the problem of SO2 emission must be handled well.
[0003] At present, among various desulfurization technologies for sulfur-containing flue gas, wet desulfurization technology has strong adaptability and is a research hotspot for new desulfurization processes. Relevant documents include “Wu Guanglong. Experimental study on calcium sulfite oxidation in wet desulfurization of calcium carbide slag-gypsum [J / OL]. Chemical Industry and Environmental Protection, 1-7 [2025-06-18]”, “Wang Cun, Xia Shuntang. Application research on slurry pH and density control technology in calcium desulfurization [J]. East China Paper, 2024, 54(08): 60-62.”, etc. Among them, the limestone-gypsum desulfurization method is the most commonly used method in wet desulfurization technology (such as the patent “A new limestone-gypsum wet flue gas desulfurization additive and its preparation method”, CN202311727766.5) (such as the patent “Limestone-gypsum flue gas desulfurization system and limestone-gypsum flue gas desulfurization method”, CN202111289726.8) (such as the patent “High-molecular adhesion calcium-based flue gas desulfurizer and preparation method thereof”, CN202510213134.X). This method has high desulfurization efficiency and wide application range, but it produces gypsum by-product, has low economic value, is difficult to handle, and can easily cause equipment or pipeline blockage; the double-alkali method improves the blockage problem by using sodium alkali solution, but still generates calcium sulfate (CaSO4) solid waste in the regeneration process of the absorption slurry. This route has low cost but produces a large amount of waste residue, uses sodium hydroxide for treatment of sulfur-containing flue gas at high cost, and produces sodium sulfate with low value and difficulty in handling, which is difficult to operate and has high maintenance cost; the ammonia desulfurization method removes SO2 through the reaction of ammonia (NH3) and SO2 and produces nitrogen fertilizer as a by-product, but due to the high volatility of ammonia water, ammonia escape easily occurs during the desulfurization process, causing air pollution; the technology of converting SO2 into elemental sulfur using a reducing agent has the problem of difficulty in selecting a suitable reducing agent, such as using hydrogen sulfide, which is cheap but toxic, malodorous, and inconvenient to source, and using carbon or carbon monoxide as a reducing agent has the problems of high desulfurization temperature (500-850℃) and high operating cost; the sulfide alkali method uses industrial-grade sodium sulfide as raw material to generate sodium thiosulfate, but has the problem of complex reaction.
[0004] At the same time, with the increasing emphasis on environmental problems, the emission limit of SO2 is becoming increasingly stringent; strict emission limits pose a severe challenge to existing SO2 removal technologies. Under the premise of not increasing the size of existing desulfurization equipment, the removal efficiency can only be improved by increasing the circulation amount of desulfurizing agent, which increases the operating cost.
[0005] In summary, the current commonly used desulfurization technologies generally have the problems of waste of sulfur resources and secondary environmental pollution. Therefore, developing green and efficient desulfurization technologies to reduce SO2 emissions and realize the utilization of sulfur resources is the future development direction of SO2 removal technology. SUMMARY
[0006] The application provides a desulfurization process for sulfur-containing flue gas, which has relatively mild production conditions, converts SO2 in the flue gas into available manganese sulfate, can realize resource recycling of sulfur dioxide in the flue gas, reduces environmental pollution while generating economic benefits, and provides a technical route for sulfur-containing flue gas treatment and resource utilization. The generated manganese sulfate can be used for preparing high-quality battery-grade manganese sulfate, providing raw material support for the development of new energy battery industry, promoting technological progress and development, and improving the market competitiveness of enterprises. The process method disclosed by the application conforms to the concept of combining ecological environment protection and economic development, and has strong application value.
[0007] A flue gas desulfurization process, comprising the following steps:
[0008] (1) manganese dioxide powder is prepared into manganese slurry by adding water according to a solid-liquid ratio of 1:(2-4);
[0009] (2) the manganese slurry is passed through 10-25% ammonia water or ammonium bicarbonate to adjust the pH, so that the pH of the manganese slurry is ensured to be between 3.0 and 5.5 during the absorption of the sulfur-containing flue gas;
[0010] (3) the sulfur-containing flue gas enters a desulfurization tower to react with the manganese dioxide mineral powder manganese slurry to remove sulfur dioxide, the system temperature is 50-90 DEG C, manganese sulfate slurry is generated, the sulfur dioxide absorption rate is detected, the tail gas after absorption is exhausted, and the desulfurization manganese slurry is recycled for 2-5 times;
[0011] (4) the generated manganese sulfate slurry is filtered and then enters a manganese sulfate sulfidation acidification impurity removal system to remove impurities, so as to obtain refined manganese sulfate;
[0012] (5) the manganese sulfate slurry containing ammonium sulfate is passed through a manganese sulfate purification impurity removal system, separated by pressure filtration, and the liquid is recycled by a deamination system.
[0013] The desulfurization principle of the process is as follows: the pH of the desulfurization manganese slurry is adjusted by ammonia water or ammonium bicarbonate, the manganese slurry is contacted with the flue gas when the pH is between 3.0 and 5.5, manganese dioxide reacts with sulfur dioxide in the flue gas to generate manganese sulfate.
[0014] Reaction of ammonia water and carbon dioxide: 2NH3·H2O+CO2=(NH4)2CO3
[0015] NH3·H2O+CO2=NH4HCO3
[0016] Neutralization of H + , adjust the pH: (NH4)2CO3+2H + =H2O+2NH4 + +CO2↑
[0017] NH4HCO3+H + =H2O+NH4+ + CO2↑
[0018] The pH value of the desulfurization manganese slurry is mainly adjusted by ammonia water or ammonium bicarbonate, so that the pH value of the manganese slurry in contact with the flue gas in the desulfurization tower is between 3.0 and 5.5 (under this pH condition, the desulfurization efficiency is the highest), and the desulfurization manganese slurry that has passed through the desulfurization tower is recycled to the desulfurization manganese slurry storage tank after adjusting the pH value on the basis of ensuring the desulfurization rate and is used for 2-5 times, so that resource utilization is maximized, the effect of reducing cost and increasing efficiency is achieved, and then it is discharged to a manganese sulfate purification and impurity removal system to prepare high-purity manganese sulfate.
[0019] The CO2 generated in the desulfurization manganese slurry storage tank due to pH adjustment reacts with newly added ammonia water or ammonium carbonate, realizing the recycling of CO2 in the desulfurization manganese slurry storage tank, which not only can play a role in adjusting the pH value, but also can reduce the emission of CO2.
[0020] Absorbing sulfur dioxide: MnO2+ SO2 = MnSO4
[0021] The temperature of the reaction system is 50-90°C, wherein the flue gas has a certain amount of heat, which can promote the temperature rise of the desulfurization manganese slurry. The whole reaction has low requirements for temperature control equipment, the desulfurization raw materials are easy to obtain, and the process temperature is suitable compared with the process using carbon or carbon monoxide as a reducing agent. The pH adjustment process and the desulfurization process in the process are easy to operate.
[0022] The ammonium sulfate generated in the reaction is recycled through the deamination system, so that the recycling of ammonia resources can be realized.
[0023] Preferably, in step (1), the solid-liquid ratio of manganese dioxide powder to water is 1:3.
[0024] Preferably, in step (2), the concentration of ammonia water for adjusting the pH value is 20%.
[0025] Preferably, in step (2), the manganese slurry is adjusted to a pH value by passing ammonia water or ammonium bicarbonate, so that the pH value of the manganese slurry in the process of absorbing sulfur-containing flue gas is between 3.5 and 5.0.
[0026] The concentration of ammonia water used in the process of the present application is 10-25%, and the SO2 removal rate is more than 95.0%; preferably, when the concentration of ammonia water is 20%, the SO2 removal rate can reach 99.6%.
[0027] The subsequent purification and impurity removal process of the crude manganese sulfate of the present application can be seen in the patent applications “A manganese sulfate ammonia sulfidation acidification impurity removal method” CN202411175193.4 and “A manganese sulfate sodium sulfidation impurity removal method” CN202411313702.5 of the present applicant. The sodium content of the manganese sulfate product obtained by the process is less than 40 ug / g, and there is almost no problem of sodium sulfate treatment. The residual manganese (3-4)% of the desulfurization manganese residue of the process of the present application can be used for preparing high-quality battery-grade manganese sulfate.
[0028] Compared with the two mineral acid leaching process for obtaining high-purity manganese sulfate, the washing process for obtaining high-purity manganese sulfate in the application can reduce the washing water consumption per ton of product, and 2 tons of washing water per ton of product can be saved, and at least 2000 tons of washing water can be saved per month under the condition of 1000 tons of output per month.
[0029] The process method using manganese dioxide slurry as a desulfurizer for sulfur-containing flue gas and using ammonia water or ammonium bicarbonate as a manganese slurry pH regulator is currently only used by the company; the process method for preparing high-purity manganese sulfate by treating sulfur-containing flue gas to generate manganese sulfate slurry, and then performing pressure filtration, sulfidation and acidification purification and impurity removal is also currently only used by the company (downstream technology such as patent application "Method for preparing high-end lithium manganate special high-purity trimanganese tetroxide from manganese sulfate", CN202411433603.0); the entire process described in the application can not only realize the recycling of sulfur dioxide resources and the cyclic use of ammonia resources, but also reduce the emission of sulfur-containing flue gas into the environment to cause harm to the environment.
[0030] In addition, in combination with regional resource advantages, the process method described in the application has greater application value and reference value in regions rich in manganese ore reserves (such as Tongren, Guizhou, Hunan, Guangxi, etc.), and can convert manganese ore powder and sulfur dioxide in sulfur-containing flue gas into high-purity manganese functional materials with great economic value through the process method, thereby achieving ecological environment protection and ensuring economic high-quality development.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:
[0032] 1. Easy to operate and low cost: the process is simple, the equipment updating requirement is low, it is easy to operate in actual production, and the production cost is low.
[0033] 2. Resource recycling: ammonia resources can be recycled after desulfurization of ammonium bicarbonate and ammonia water, avoiding resource waste and meeting national resource environmental protection requirements.
[0034] 3. Easy treatment of desulfurization by-products: manganese dioxide slurry is used as a desulfurizer, and ammonia water or ammonium bicarbonate is used to adjust the pH of the desulfurized manganese slurry, avoiding problems that occur when other desulfurization methods are used, such as using lime slurry to absorb sulfur dioxide to generate calcium sulfate, resulting in a large amount of waste residue and easy plugging of the desulfurization tower system; the sodium content of the manganese sulfate product obtained by the process described in the application is less than 40ug / g, avoiding the problems of high cost of using sodium hydroxide to treat sulfur-containing flue gas, low value of generated sodium sulfate and difficulty in treatment, and avoiding the problem of high sodium content caused by the use of sodium hydroxide.
[0035] 4. Win-win of ecological benefit and economic benefit: the sulfur dioxide in the sulfur-containing flue gas is converted into the high-value manganese sulfate product, which realizes the ecological environment protection and the sulfur dioxide resource recycling, and achieves the win-win of ecological benefit and economic benefit.
[0036] 5. Energy saving and emission reduction: the process can reduce the washing water consumption per ton of product, and at least 2 tons of washing water per ton of product is saved.
[0037] 6. Wide application range: the pH value adjusting method and the related matching process in the flue gas desulfurization process are applicable to the treatment of the sulfur-containing flue gas, and can be widely used in the desulfurization of large flue gas emission enterprises such as steel enterprises, bituminous coal power plants, bituminous coal kilns and metallurgical industries.

[0100] Multiple production practices, including the above examples, have demonstrated that using 20% ammonia water can achieve a relatively stable reaction system and a good desulfurization effect.
