Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solid waste treatment, and particularly relates to a method for collaboratively treating baking soda desulfurization ash and waste iron oxide desulfurizer. Background Art

[0002] Iron oxide desulfurizer is a highly effective gas purifier made with iron oxide as its primary active ingredient and other additives. Within the temperature range of 20°C to 100°C, it has high H2S removal performance, while also having a certain degree of removal effect on mercaptans, organic sulfur compounds, and most nitrogen oxides. After the reaction, the waste iron oxide desulfurizer contains large amounts of harmful organic compounds such as naphthalene, benzene, and tar. Its main components also include inorganic compounds such as elemental sulfur, FeS, and Fe2S3. This hazardous waste, if randomly dumped, not only pollutes the environment but also poses significant safety risks, potentially causing explosions, fires, and other accidents.

[0003] Baking soda desulfurization ash is a byproduct of the sodium-based desulfurization process. This process uses baking soda as a desulfurizer. It is ground into an ultrafine powder in a mill and sprayed into high-temperature flue gas, where it comes into contact with the flue gas, undergoing physical and chemical reactions with acidic gases such as SO2, HCl, and HF, effectively removing the gases. The baking soda desulfurization ash collected by the bag filter is primarily composed of Na2SO4, incompletely oxidized Na2SO3, and a small amount of unreacted NaHCO3.

[0004] Currently, the main methods for disposing of spent iron oxide desulfurizers are landfill and return to the desulfurizer manufacturer. Landfilling can pollute the surrounding environment and soil, while return to the desulfurizer manufacturer not only faces high disposal fees of 5,000-8,000 yuan per ton, but also presents significant uncontrollable risks after solid waste transfer. Regarding the utilization of baking soda desulfurization ash, due to the short application time and small production volume of this process, a large-scale resource utilization approach has yet to be established. Given the chemical composition of baking soda desulfurization ash, its resource utilization is primarily hindered by the presence of a certain amount of Na2SO3. While Na2SO3 has been reported in the literature, it is primarily used for treating hexavalent chromium, mineral processing, and wastewater treatment, but high-temperature incineration is not an option. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for the synergistic treatment of baking soda desulfurization ash and waste iron oxide desulfurizer, utilizing the coal-fired boiler of a self-contained power plant and its supporting desulfurization and denitrification facilities, combining the characteristics of the two solid wastes, and treating them in a comprehensive resource-based manner, thereby conveniently and cheaply solving the problem of difficult disposal of large amounts of metallurgical solid waste accumulation.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solutions adopted are as follows:

[0007] The method for collaboratively treating baking soda desulfurization ash and waste iron oxide desulfurizer comprises the following steps:

[0008] (1) Baking soda desulfurization ash is placed in a mixing tank, and water is added according to a water-ash ratio of (3-5):1 to stir into a fluidized slurry; waste iron oxide desulfurizer and coal are mixed uniformly at a mass ratio of (1-5):1000, and the mixed fuel is obtained after grinding with steel balls;

[0009] (2) atomizing the slurry at a fuel delivery port of a pulverized coal boiler, mixing the slurry with the mixed fuel, and then feeding the mixed fuel into a furnace for combustion;

[0010] (3) The volatile matter is purified by the terminal gas purification device to generate desulfurization gypsum, and the ash is mixed with fly ash and bottom ash.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the baking soda desulfurization ash is a particle with a size of less than 200 mesh (75 μm); the main chemical components include: 30-60% Na2SO4, 10-20% Na2SO3, 20-60% NaHCO3, 0-1% NaCl, and 0-1% NaNO3.

[0012] According to the above scheme, the waste iron oxide desulfurizer is 0-5mm particles; the main chemical components include: 45%-60% FeS, 10%-25% Fe2O3, 10%-15% CaO, 5%-10% C, and 5%-15% metal oxides (including Al2O3 and MgO).

[0013] According to the above scheme, in step 1, the waste iron oxide desulfurizer is evenly mixed with the coal and then spread on the feed belt and sent to the pulverizing system for grinding with steel balls to obtain the mixed fuel.

[0014] According to the above scheme, the mud described in step 2 is delivered to the fuel delivery port through the sludge delivery pipe under the action of the high-pressure mud pump. The fuel delivery port is equipped with a special atomizing nozzle for mud two-phase flow, which atomizes the mud and mixes it into the mixed fuel.

[0015] According to the above scheme, in step 2, the mass ratio of baking soda desulfurization ash to waste iron oxide desulfurizer is 1:(2-5) and completely burned in a pulverized coal boiler.

[0016] According to the above scheme, in step 2, the temperature inside the pulverized coal boiler is controlled at 1250-1400°C, the flue gas residence time is 5s, the solid phase residence time is 5s, and the furnace outlet temperature is higher than 900°C.

[0017] According to the above scheme, the gas purification device in step 3 is a limestone-gypsum wet desulfurization + SCR denitrification process.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following positive effects:

[0019] (1) To ensure a relatively stable and low-cost electricity supply, large industrial enterprises have mostly invested in self-owned power plants and established corresponding environmental protection facilities such as desulfurization and denitrification in accordance with relevant national regulations. They have reserved a certain amount of processing capacity and have the ability to co-dispose of high-sulfur substances. This makes up for the environmental problem of excessive flue gas emissions caused by the insufficient flue gas purification capacity of ordinary incinerators to dispose of high-sulfur solid waste. The present invention uses a process method for co-disposal of waste iron oxide desulfurizers with power plants. This method has the characteristics of comprehensive pollutant treatment and large disposal capacity, and has good technical and economic benefits.

[0020] (2) The reaction temperature in the pulverized coal boiler is above 1250℃, which can fully burn the organic hazardous components such as tar, naphthalene, benzene, CnHm, HCN, etc. adsorbed by the waste iron oxide desulfurizer, and finally generate CO2 which is discharged into the atmosphere with the flue gas, which can solve the problem of organic pollution in the desulfurizer.

[0021] (3) Compared with the combustion temperature of only 900℃ in solid waste and garbage treatment furnaces such as garbage incinerators, the gas phase temperature in the furnace is above 1250℃, and the gas residence time is as long as 5s. In addition, research has shown that the sulfur contained in the fuel has a certain inhibitory effect on the formation of dioxins. Therefore, the sulfur in the waste iron oxide desulfurizer can inhibit the chlorine introduced by the baking soda desulfurization ash, thereby avoiding the formation of dioxins. The iron in the waste iron oxide desulfurizer can also react with the alkali metal in the baking soda desulfurization ash, thereby preventing the corrosion of the furnace lining during the baking soda desulfurization ash co-combustion process.

[0022] (4) The combined synergistic treatment of baking soda desulfurization ash and waste iron oxide desulfurizer can effectively eliminate its pollution hazards to the environment without adding other additional equipment, and can recover the C and S elements therein, thereby obtaining better economic benefits. The present invention can make the exhaust flue gas meet the ultra-low emission environmental protection requirements by reasonably configuring the addition amount of waste iron oxide desulfurizer and baking soda desulfurization ash, and the ash mixed with fly ash and bottom ash emissions can meet environmental protection requirements. However, if the addition amount of waste iron oxide desulfurizer exceeds the scope of the present invention, the outlet tail gas emissions will not meet the standards, and if the addition amount of baking soda desulfurization ash exceeds the scope of the present invention, it will cause corrosion to the boiler.
