TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of sulfur foam liquid treatment, and particularly relates to a coupling process for salt extraction and acid production from sulfur foam liquid. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the ammonia desulfurization process of the coking gas purification procedure, desulfurization waste liquid mainly composed of ammonium thiocyanate, ammonium sulfate and thiosulfate is produced. When the by-product salt accumulates to a certain degree (>= 250 g / L), the desulfurization efficiency is greatly reduced, and even the desulfurization tower is blocked, which seriously affects normal production. The desulfurization waste liquid is complex in composition, highly corrosive and large in discharge amount, and is difficult to be harmlessly treated, which has plagued coking enterprises for a long time. When coking plants practice high-quality development and green development, the treatment of desulfurization waste liquid becomes a technical problem to be solved in the coking industry.

[0003] Currently, there are two treatment methods for sulfur foam liquid (containing desulfurization waste liquid): desulfurization waste liquid salt extraction process and sulfur foam mixed desulfurization waste liquid acid production process.

[0004] The desulfurization waste liquid salt extraction process mainly uses step crystallization method to produce ammonium thiocyanate. The desulfurization waste liquid salt extraction process has a long process flow, in addition, the salt extraction process also has the characteristics of large number of equipment and difficult operation. In order to ensure the purity of ammonium thiocyanate product, low-quality sulfur ammonium produced in the separation process is inevitable, and the treatment of low-quality sulfur ammonium has become a problem to be solved in current industrial production.

[0005] The acid production process currently applied more has wet pretreatment acid production process, semi-dry pretreatment acid production process and dry pretreatment acid production process. The raw material sulfur foam liquid (containing desulfurization waste liquid) contains a large amount of nitrogen element, which will inevitably generate nitrogen oxides after incineration. In addition, the by-product dilute sulfuric acid has the disadvantages of high yield, high consumption of fuel coke oven gas and air. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a coupling process for desulfurization waste liquid salt extraction and acid production, which can reduce the yield of by-product dilute sulfuric acid, simplify the salt extraction process flow and reduce the initial investment.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is:

[0014] Preferably, in step S2, the first solid material and the slurry material are incinerated together to obtain a first synthesis gas for preparing concentrated sulfuric acid.

[0015] Preferably, in step S2, the first synthesis gas for preparing concentrated sulfuric acid includes the following steps: washing and cooling the first synthesis gas to obtain dilute sulfuric acid and a second synthesis gas; then drying the second synthesis gas, supplementing air, converting SO2 in the second synthesis gas into SO3, using concentrated sulfuric acid to absorb SO3 in the gas, and preparing concentrated sulfuric acid.

[0016] Preferably, the drying of the second synthesis gas includes: using concentrated sulfuric acid to wash and absorb the moisture in the second synthesis gas, and the moisture in the dried second synthesis gas will reach 0.1g / Nm 3 .

[0017] The present application has the following advantages:

[0018] 1) The present application separates the sulfur foam liquid by solid-liquid separation, reduces the amount of waste liquid, reduces the volume of devices and equipment in the salt extraction area, and reduces the cost.

[0019] 2) The oxidation process in the salt extraction area is cancelled, ammonium thiosulfate is separated by high-temperature concentration and centrifugation, and the separated ammonium sulfate is sent to the incineration process in the acid production area, the tail gas is sent to the desulfurization and denitrification section of the coking plant for treatment, realizing no solid waste discharge, simplifying the process flow, and reducing the operation difficulty.

[0020] 3) In the incineration process in the acid production area, the content of the by-product salt in the sulfur foam is reduced, the salt crystallization is reduced, the possibility of pipeline blockage is reduced, the maintenance frequency is reduced, the corrosion effect on the equipment is reduced, and the equipment maintenance frequency is reduced.

[0021] 4) In the incineration process in the acid production area, the content of the by-product salt in the sulfur foam is reduced, the viscosity of the solution is reduced, the mass transfer efficiency is increased, the use frequency of the compressed air blowing pipeline is reduced, and the power consumption is reduced.

[0022] 5) In the acid-making area incineration process, compressed air and coke oven gas enter the incinerator, and the elemental sulfur and other by-products in the sulfur foam liquid are burned at high temperature, the content of by-products is reduced, the consumption of coke oven gas is reduced, the amount of saturated water vapor is reduced, and the production of by-product dilute sulfuric acid is reduced.

[0023] In summary, the coupling process of salt extraction and acid production of the disclosed sulfur foam liquid (containing desulfurization waste liquid) realizes the maximum utilization of sulfur elements and ammonium thiocyanate in the desulfurization waste liquid, and reduces the generation of hazardous waste.
