The output of the booster compressor 3 is connected to a tail gas heat exchanger 8, the tail gas heat exchanger 8 is connected to an electric heater 9, the electric heater 9 is connected to an inlet air temperature meter 10, and the inlet air temperature meter 10 is connected to a catalytic reactor 11. The catalytic reactor 1... 1. Connect the outlet gas temperature measuring instrument 12. The outlet gas temperature measuring instrument 12 is connected to the online flue gas oxygen content analyzer 13. The online flue gas oxygen content analyzer 13 is connected to the steam superheater 14. The steam superheater 14 is connected to the waste heat boiler 15. The waste heat boiler 15 is connected to the SCR reactor 16. The SCR reactor 16 is connected to the ammonia flow measuring instrument 17 and the tail gas heat exchanger 8. The ammonia flow measuring instrument 17 is connected to the control valve 19. The control valve 19 is connected to the ammonia supply end. The ammonia flow measuring instrument 17 and the control valve 19 are connected to the SCR ammonia flow and excess ammonia amount β optimization control module 20. The tail gas heat exchanger 18 is connected to the online flue gas ammonia content analyzer 21. The online flue gas ammonia content analyzer 21 is connected to the chimney 22 and the flue gas circulation fan 23. The online flue gas ammonia content analyzer 21 is connected to the SCR ammonia flow and excess ammonia amount β optimization control module 20. The flue gas circulation fan 23 is connected to control valve I 24. Control valve I 24 is connected to gas flow meter 25. Gas flow meter 25 is connected to the output end of the blower branch. Gas flow meter 25 and control valve I 24 are connected to the CO catalytic oxidation reactor inlet and outlet temperature optimization control module 26. CO catalytic oxidation reactor inlet and outlet temperature optimization control module 26 is connected to the inlet air temperature meter 10 and outlet air temperature meter 12. The online flue gas oxygen content analyzer 13 is connected to the mixed air flow and flue gas emission excess air coefficient α optimization control function module 7. Mixed air flow and flue gas emission... The excess air coefficient α optimization control module 7 is connected to the feedforward optimization control module 27. The feedforward optimization control module 27 is connected to the CO catalytic oxidation reactor inlet and outlet temperature optimization control module 26 and the SCR ammonia flow and excess ammonia amount β optimization control module 20. A control valve Ⅲ 28 is connected between the input and output ends of the waste heat boiler 15. The signal of the control valve Ⅲ 28 is connected to the CO catalytic oxidation reactor inlet and outlet temperature optimization control module 26. An online exhaust gas analyzer is installed on the pipe at the inlet end of the exhaust gas heat exchanger 18. The signal of the online exhaust gas analyzer is connected to the feedforward optimization control module 27. The online exhaust gas analyzer includes an exhaust gas flow meter 28, an online exhaust gas gas chromatograph 29, and an online exhaust gas infrared analyzer 30.

[0015] When the device treats acrylonitrile production tail gas, the tail gas entering the suction tower 1 absorbs moisture from the tail gas through the drying box 2. The dried tail gas then passes through a tail gas flow meter 28, an online tail gas chromatograph 29, and an online tail gas infrared analyzer 30. The tail gas flow meter 28 calculates the tail gas flow rate; the online tail gas chromatograph 29 detects the concentration of acrylonitrile and non-methane total hydrocarbons online and calculates the molecular weight and average molecular weight of each component; the online tail gas infrared analyzer 30 detects the concentration and molecular weight of nitrogen oxides in the tail gas online; the feedforward optimization control module 27 acquires the data detected by the tail gas flow meter 28, the online tail gas chromatograph 29, and the online tail gas infrared analyzer 30, and transmits them to the CO catalytic oxidation reactor inlet and outlet temperature optimization control module 26, the mixed air flow and flue gas emission excess air coefficient α optimization control module 7, and the SCR ammonia flow and excess ammonia amount β optimization control module 20, respectively.

[0016] The CO catalytic oxidation reactor inlet and outlet temperature optimization control module 26 calculates the setpoints SP for the reactor inlet and outlet temperatures of the catalytic reactor 11 based on the molecular weights of acrylonitrile and non-methane hydrocarbons using a mathematical model. SP varies with the molecular weights of acrylonitrile and non-methane hydrocarbons. While ensuring a reduction rate of acrylonitrile and non-methane hydrocarbons greater than 97%, the module analyzes the temperature ranges for the reactor inlet and outlet temperatures based on the molecular weights of acrylonitrile, non-methane hydrocarbons, and oxygen concentration, and sets upper and lower limits. Within the obtained temperature range, the catalytic reactor... The oxygen content inside the exhaust gas discharged from 11 needs to meet the internal setting of the mixed air flow and flue gas emission excess air coefficient α optimization control function module 7. Then, the acrylonitrile, non-methane total hydrocarbon molecular weight and oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas are adjusted by blower 4 and control valve II 5, flue gas circulation fan 23 and control valve I 24 to make the set value SP within the analyzed temperature range. Then, the exhaust gas is heated to the specified temperature by exhaust gas heat exchanger 8 and electric heater 9 and enters catalytic reactor 11 for reaction. Temperature feedback is obtained by inlet air temperature measuring instrument 10 and outlet air temperature measuring instrument 12.

[0017] After the exhaust gas reacts in the catalytic reactor 11, the oxygen content in the exhaust gas after the reaction is detected by an online flue gas oxygen content analyzer 13. The test results are fed back to the mixed air flow and flue gas emission excess air coefficient α optimization control module 7. The oxygen content should meet the excess coefficient α setting inside the mixed air flow and flue gas emission excess air coefficient α optimization control module 7 (α=21 / (21-online flue gas oxygen content analyzer measurement value), α is set between 1.05 and 1.1). If the amount of air in the exhaust gas in the catalytic reactor 11 is insufficient, the reaction will be incomplete, resulting in excessive exhaust gas emissions. If the amount of air is too large, the organic matter concentration will be too low, which will also lead to incomplete reaction.

[0018] The exhaust gas undergoes temperature regulation via a steam superheater 14 and a waste heat boiler 15 before entering the SCR reactor 16. Simultaneously, the SCR ammonia flow rate and excess ammonia amount β optimization control module 20 obtains the concentration (molecular weight) of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas detected online by the exhaust gas online infrared analyzer 30. The theoretical ammonia flow rate is calculated through a mathematical model and set as dynamic SP. The SCR ammonia flow rate and excess ammonia amount β optimization control module 20 also has an excess ammonia amount β, which is the data measured by the online flue gas ammonia content analyzer 21. Then, the SCR ammonia flow rate and excess ammonia amount β optimization control module 20 controls the inflow of ammonia through an ammonia flow meter 17 and a control valve 19. The inflow rate is dynamic SP + excess ammonia amount β, where the excess ammonia amount β is less than 2.5 ppm, thereby achieving a reduction rate of acrylonitrile and non-methane total hydrocarbons greater than 97%.

[0019] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
