Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of environmental protection chemical engineering, and particularly relates to a method and a system for treating high-temperature flue gas. Background Art

[0002] Incineration reactors in the petrochemical, coal chemical, and smelting industries usually generate high-temperature flue gas containing sulfur dioxide. When high-temperature flue gas containing sulfur dioxide and water contains elemental impurities such as sulfur, phosphorus, fluorine, and chlorine, the dew point corrosion temperature of the high-temperature flue gas can reach 350 - 400 °C, which is very high. When recovering waste heat from high-temperature flue gas to by-product steam, a waste heat boiler is usually used. To ensure that the heat recovery equipment is not corroded, the pressure rating of the waste heat boiler must ensure that the temperature of the saturated steam is above the dew point corrosion temperature. The temperature of saturated steam at 20 MPa is only 357 °C, but the boiler with a pressure rating of 20 MPa is approaching the "supercritical" pressure, and it is very difficult to manufacture. Directly using a boiler for heat recovery is no longer applicable.

[0003] Secondly, when the heat of high-temperature flue gas containing sulfur dioxide is recovered and enters the subsequent sulfuric acid production system, the heat generated by the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen to form sulfur trioxide is insufficient to maintain the heat balance of the entire process. Usually, in the process of producing sulfuric acid from high-temperature flue gas containing sulfur dioxide, when the concentration of sulfur dioxide ≤ 6%, this concentration of sulfur dioxide usually requires additional heating equipment during the sulfuric acid production process. Inevitably, using additional heating equipment will bring problems such as high energy consumption and high operating costs.

[0004] In order to make full use of the thermal energy of high-temperature flue gas, there is an urgent need to adopt a suitable and efficient heat utilization technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problem in the prior art that flue gas with a high dew point corrosion temperature and a low sulfur dioxide concentration cannot be directly recycled, and to provide a method and a system for treating high-temperature flue gas. This method utilizes the heat of high-temperature flue gas with characteristics of high dew point corrosion temperature and low sulfur dioxide concentration to by-product steam, and at the same time realizes sulfuric acid production with a low sulfur dioxide concentration without external heating equipment, reduces the energy consumption level of the device, and improves the resource utilization rate.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, in the first aspect of the present invention, a method for treating high-temperature flue gas is provided, wherein the method includes the following steps:

[0007] (1) Incinerate incineration raw materials, sulfur-containing raw materials, and fuel to obtain high-temperature flue gas;

[0008] (2) Exchange heat between the high-temperature flue gas and air to obtain high-temperature air and flue gas;

[0009] (3) Perform subsequent treatment on the flue gas to obtain the gas for acid making process;

[0010] (4) Exchange heat between the high-temperature air and the gas for acid making process to obtain medium-temperature air and the converted gas for acid making process; subject the converted gas for acid making process to acid making treatment to obtain sulfuric acid;

[0011] (5) Divide the medium-temperature air into A-stream gas and B-stream gas. The A-stream gas generates saturated steam, and the B-stream gas superheats the saturated steam into superheated steam; the A-stream gas and the B-stream gas that recover the superheat amount are combined and then divided into two streams of low-temperature air C and D; the low-temperature air C is used as the combustion-supporting agent for incineration treatment, and the low-temperature air D is recycled as the recycle gas.

[0012] The second aspect of the present invention provides a system for treating high-temperature flue gas. Among them, the system includes: an incineration reaction unit, a high-temperature flue gas treatment unit, a flue gas treatment unit, a gas treatment unit for acid making process, an acid making unit, and a steam treatment unit.

[0013] In the present invention, for the high-temperature flue gas containing specific components (containing elements such as sulfur, phosphorus, fluorine, and chlorine), heat exchange treatment is carried out. Using the high-temperature flue gas as the heat source, the heat of the high-temperature flue gas is fully utilized to heat up the flue gas for acid making, so as to improve the conversion rate of the acid making conversion process, reduce energy consumption and acid making cost. At the same time, using ambient air as the heat exchange carrier and taking advantage of the advantage that the high-temperature air has no requirement for the dew point corrosion temperature characteristic, the hot air directly by-produces steam, improving the resource utilization rate, which is worthy of industrial production.

[0035] (5) Divide the medium - temperature air into air stream A and air stream B. Air stream A generates saturated steam, and air stream B superheats the saturated steam into superheated steam; the air stream A and air stream B that recover the heat quantity are combined and then divided into two air streams, low - temperature air C and D; low - temperature air C is used as the combustion aid for incineration treatment, and low - temperature air D is recycled as recycle gas.

[0080] Example 1

[0081] Taking a 25,000-ton / year 50% by mass concentration waste sulfuric acid regeneration device as an example, high-temperature flue gas at 1100 °C is generated after the waste sulfuric acid and fuel are mixed and incinerated. The high-temperature flue gas mainly contains sulfur dioxide, water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, and impurities such as fluorine (about 8000 ppm by mass), phosphorus, and chlorine. The wet-based molar amount of the high-temperature flue gas is 625.72 kmol / h, the dry-based molar amount is 432.24 kmol / h, and the sulfur dioxide concentration is 3.6% by volume. The process flow is as Figure 1 shown.

[0082] The high-temperature flue gas at 625.72 kmol / h at the outlet of the incineration reactor 1 directly enters the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2. The high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 consists of two fixed tube-sheet heat exchangers. The high-temperature flue gas flows through the tube side, and the air flows through the shell side. The temperature of the high-temperature flue gas is reduced from 1100 °C to 400 °C and then enters the flue gas treatment unit. 625.72 kmol / h of air is heated from 88 °C to 800 °C to become high-temperature air. 82% by volume of the high-temperature air leaving the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 enters the high-temperature heat exchanger 8 for the acid-making process gas, raising the temperature of the acid-making process gas from the outlet of the first-stage bed of the converter 10 by 62 °C. 18% by volume of the high-temperature air leaving the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 enters the low-temperature heat exchanger 9 for the acid-making process gas, raising the temperature of the acid-making process gas that needs to enter the converter 10 for the secondary conversion reaction by 15 °C.

Among them, 76% by volume of the medium-temperature air at 750 °C directly enters the waste heat boiler 3 of the steam treatment unit and is cooled to 180 °C to become low-temperature air. 24% by volume of the medium-temperature air at 750 °C enters the steam superheater 4. The oxygen concentration in the incineration reactor 1 is controlled to make 58.8% of the low-temperature air at 180 °C after being cooled by the waste heat boiler 3 enter the incineration reactor 1 for combustion support, so that the oxygen concentration in the incineration reactor is 2.93% by volume. The waste heat boiler 3 generates 4.3 t / h of saturated steam at 0.5 MPa (G). In the steam superheater 4, the heat of 24% by volume of the medium-temperature air at 750 °C is used to superheat the saturated steam at 0.5 MPa (G) into superheated steam at 330 °C. The air at 380 °C leaving the steam superheater 4 enters the economizer 5 and is cooled to 180 °C to heat the boiler feed water. The 4.52 t / h of boiler feed water is heated from 104 °C to 150 °C and then enters the steam drum of the waste heat boiler 3.

[0086] The high-temperature flue gas at 679 kmol / h at the outlet of the incineration reactor 1 directly enters the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2. The high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 consists of two fixed tube-sheet heat exchangers. The high-temperature flue gas flows through the tube side, and the air flows through the shell side. The temperature of the high-temperature flue gas is reduced from 1100 °C to 400 °C and then enters the flue gas treatment unit. 748.8 kmol / h of air is heated from 88 °C to 750 °C to become high-temperature air. 81% of the high-temperature air leaving the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 enters the high-temperature heat exchanger 8 for the acid-making process gas, raising the temperature of the acid-making process gas from the outlet of the first-stage bed of the converter 10 by 80 °C. 19% of the high-temperature air leaving the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 enters the low-temperature heat exchanger 9 for the acid-making process gas, raising the temperature of the acid-making process gas that needs to enter the converter 10 for the secondary conversion reaction by 20 °C.

[0087] After passing through the acid-making process gas treatment unit, the high-temperature air is cooled to 685 °C. 79% of the 685 °C medium-temperature air directly enters the waste heat boiler 3 of the steam treatment unit and is cooled to 180 °C to become low-temperature air. 21% of the 685 °C medium-temperature air enters the steam superheater 4. The oxygen concentration in the incineration reactor 1 is controlled to make 58.8% of the 180 °C low-temperature air after being cooled by the waste heat boiler 3 enter the incineration reactor 1 for combustion support, so that the oxygen concentration in the incineration reactor 1 is 2.36%. The waste heat boiler 3 generates 4.39 t / h of saturated steam at 0.5 MPa (G). In the steam superheater 4, the heat of 21% of the 685 °C medium-temperature air is used to superheat the saturated steam at 0.5 MPa (G) into superheated steam at 320 °C. The 370 °C air leaving the steam superheater 4 enters the economizer 5 and is cooled to 180 °C to heat the boiler feed water. The 4.61 t / h of boiler feed water is heated from 104 °C to 148 °C and then enters the steam drum of the waste heat boiler 3. After the heat is utilized, all the low-temperature air except that entering the incineration reactor 1 for combustion support returns to the inlet of the air blower 6 for recycling.

[0089] Taking a 25,000-ton / year 65% concentration waste sulfuric acid regeneration device as an example, the waste sulfuric acid and fuel are mixed and incinerated to produce high-temperature flue gas at 1100 °C. The high-temperature flue gas mainly contains sulfur dioxide, water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen and impurities such as fluorine, phosphorus and chlorine. The wet-based molar amount of the high-temperature flue gas is 560.7 kmol / h. The dry-based molar amount is 422.97 kmol / h, and the sulfur dioxide concentration is 4.78 vol%.

[0090] The high-temperature flue gas at 560.7 kmol / h at the outlet of the incineration reactor 1 directly enters the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2, which consists of two fixed tube sheet heat exchangers. The high-temperature flue gas flows through the tube side, and the air flows through the shell side. The temperature of the high-temperature flue gas is reduced from 1100 °C to 400 °C and then enters the flue gas treatment unit. 625.5 kmol / h of air is heated from 91 °C to 800 °C to become high-temperature air. 85% of the high-temperature air leaving the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit enters the high-temperature heat exchanger 8 for the acid-making process gas, raising the temperature of the acid-making process gas from the outlet of the first-stage bed of the converter 10 by 50 °C. 15% of the high-temperature air leaving the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 enters the low-temperature heat exchanger 9 for the acid-making process gas, raising the temperature of the acid-making process gas that needs to enter the converter for the secondary conversion reaction by 10 °C.

[0091] After passing through the acid-making process gas treatment unit, the high-temperature air is cooled to 755 °C. 78% of the 755 °C medium-temperature air directly enters the waste heat boiler 3 of the steam treatment unit and is cooled to 180 °C to become low-temperature air. 22% of the 755 °C medium-temperature air enters the steam superheater 4. The oxygen concentration in the incineration reactor 1 is controlled to make 57.14% of the 180 °C low-temperature air enter the incineration reactor 1 for combustion support after being cooled by the waste heat boiler 3, so that the oxygen concentration in the incineration reactor 1 is 2.58%. The waste heat boiler 3 generates 4.15 t / h of saturated steam at 0.5 MPa(G). In the steam superheater 4, the heat of 22% of the 755 °C medium-temperature air is used to superheat the 0.5 MPa(G) saturated steam into superheated steam at 350 °C. The 380 °C air leaving the steam superheater 4 enters the economizer 5 and is cooled to 180 °C to heat the boiler feed water. The 4.36 t / h of boiler feed water is heated from 104 °C to 148 °C and then enters the steam drum of the waste heat boiler 3. After the heat is utilized, all the low-temperature air except that entering the incineration reactor 1 for combustion support returns to the inlet of the air blower 6 for recycling.

[0092] Example 4

[0093] Compared with Example 1, taking the 25,000-ton / year 50% concentration waste sulfuric acid regeneration device using heat to produce saturated steam as an example, the waste sulfuric acid and fuel are mixed and incinerated to produce high-temperature flue gas at 1100 °C. The high-temperature flue gas mainly contains sulfur dioxide, water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, and impurities such as fluorine (about 8000 ppm by mass), phosphorus, and chlorine. The wet-base molar amount of the high-temperature flue gas is 665.2 kmol / h. The dry-base molar amount is 464.2 kmol / h, and the sulfur dioxide concentration is 3.38 vol%.

[0094] The high-temperature flue gas at 665.2 kmol / h at the outlet of the incineration reactor 1 directly enters the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2. The high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 consists of two fixed tube-sheet heat exchangers. The high-temperature flue gas flows through the tube side, and the air flows through the shell side. The temperature of the high-temperature flue gas is reduced from 1100 °C to 400 °C and then enters the flue gas treatment unit. 665.2 kmol / h of air is heated from 75 °C to 800 °C to become high-temperature air. 82% of the high-temperature air exiting the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 enters the high-temperature heat exchanger 8 for the acid-making process gas, raising the temperature of the acid-making process gas from the outlet of the first-stage bed of the converter 10 by 62 °C. 18% of the high-temperature air exiting the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 enters the low-temperature heat exchanger 9 for the acid-making process gas, raising the temperature of the acid-making process gas that needs to enter the converter 10 for the secondary conversion reaction by 15 °C.

[0095] After passing through the acid-making process gas treatment unit, the air is cooled to 750 °C. 100% of the 750 °C medium-temperature air directly enters the waste heat boiler 3 of the steam treatment unit, and is cooled to 180 °C to become low-temperature air. It enters the economizer 5 and is cooled to 145 °C to heat the boiler feed water. 58.8% of the 145 °C air after being cooled by the economizer 5 enters the incineration reactor 1 for combustion support by controlling the oxygen concentration in the incineration reactor 1, so that the oxygen concentration in the incineration reactor 1 is 2.76%. The waste heat boiler 3 generates 6.1 t / h of saturated steam at 0.5 MPa(G). All the air after the heat is utilized, except for that entering the incineration reactor 1 for combustion support, returns to the inlet of the air blower 6 for recycling.

[0096] Example 5

[0097] Compared with Example 1, taking the saturated steam produced by using heat in a 25,000-ton / year waste sulfuric acid regeneration device with a concentration of 35% by mass as an example, the waste sulfuric acid and fuel are mixed and incinerated to produce high-temperature flue gas at 1100 °C. The high-temperature flue gas mainly contains sulfur dioxide, water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, and impurities such as fluorine (about 8000 ppm by mass), phosphorus, and chlorine. The wet-based molar amount of the high-temperature flue gas is 690.6 kmol / h. The dry-based molar amount is 466.1 kmol / h, and the sulfur dioxide concentration is 2.36% by volume.

[0098] The high-temperature flue gas at 690.6 kmol / h at the outlet of the incineration reactor 1 directly enters the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2. The high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 consists of two fixed tube-sheet heat exchangers. The high-temperature flue gas flows through the tube side, and the air flows through the shell side. The temperature of the high-temperature flue gas is reduced from 1100 °C to 400 °C and then enters the flue gas treatment unit. 690.6 kmol / h of air is heated from 85 °C to 690 °C to become high-temperature air. 81% of the high-temperature air leaving the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 enters the high-temperature heat exchanger 8 for the acid-making process gas, raising the temperature of the acid-making process gas from the outlet of the first-stage bed of the converter 10 by 80 °C. 19% of the high-temperature air leaving the high-temperature flue gas cooling unit 2 enters the low-temperature heat exchanger 9 for the acid-making process gas, raising the temperature of the acid-making process gas that needs to enter the converter for the secondary conversion reaction by 20 °C.

[0099] The high-temperature air passing through the acid-making process gas treatment unit is cooled to 630 °C. 100% of the medium-temperature air at 630 °C directly enters the waste heat boiler 3 of the steam generation unit and is cooled to 180 °C to become low-temperature air. It enters the economizer 5 and is cooled to 140 °C to heat the boiler feed water. 47.62% of the air at 140 °C after being cooled by the economizer 5 enters the incineration reactor 1 for combustion support through the oxygen concentration in the incineration reactor 1, so that the oxygen concentration in the incineration reactor 1 is 2.32%. The waste heat boiler 3 generates 6.24 t / h of saturated steam at 0.5 MPa (G). All the low-temperature air after the heat is utilized, except for that entering the incineration reactor 1 for combustion support, returns to the inlet of the air blower 6 for recycling.

[0100] Comparative Example 1

[0101] Taking the 25,000-ton / year 50% concentration spent sulfuric acid regeneration device as an example, the spent sulfuric acid and fuel are mixed and incinerated to produce high-temperature flue gas at 1100 °C. The high-temperature flue gas mainly contains impurities such as sulfur dioxide, water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, phosphorus, and chlorine. The wet-base molar amount of the high-temperature flue gas is 535 kmol / h. The dry-base molar amount of the conversion process gas is 357.25 kmol / h, and the sulfur dioxide concentration is 4.35%. The oxygen concentration in the incineration reactor 1 is 2.93 vol%, and the process flow is as Figure 3 shown.

[0102] The high-temperature flue gas at the outlet of the incineration reactor 1, with a flow rate of 535 kmol / h, enters the air cooler 19, which is an M-shaped heat exchanger with fins. Through air convection heat dissipation, the high-temperature flue gas is cooled down to 800 °C and then enters the air heat exchanger 20 to heat 323.5 kmol / h of normal-temperature air to 500 °C. All of them enter the incineration reactor 1 to participate in the incineration reaction. The fuel used is 34.4 kmol / h. The flue gas exiting the air heat exchanger 20 is cooled down to 400 °C and enters the sulfuric acid production system. Since the sulfur dioxide concentration in the converted process gas is only 4.35%, an electric heating furnace is required to heat the process gas. The process gas from the outlet of the first-stage bed of the converter 10 is heated by 62 °C, and the process gas that needs to enter the converter 10 for the secondary conversion reaction is heated by 15 °C. The power of the electric furnace is 250 kw / h, and no steam is generated in the entire device system. Compared with Example 1, 10% less fuel is used, but less steam is produced, and there is more power consumption. The energy consumption of the device is very high and it is not energy-saving.
