Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tail gas resource utilization, and particularly relates to a method for resource utilization of N2O in adipic acid tail gas. BACKGROUND

[0002] Adipic acid is an important organic dibasic acid, which plays an important role in organic synthesis and chemical production. The production process of adipic acid adopts nitric acid oxidation method, and the tail gas contains high concentration of N2O, with a volume content of about 35%-39%, which is an important source of human-produced N2O. As one of the six greenhouse gases, N2O has a global warming potential (GWP) of 310 times that of CO2, and can also seriously damage the ozone layer, endangering human health and the ecological environment. Therefore, controlling the emission of N2O in adipic acid tail gas has attracted widespread attention.

[0003] At present, the processes for controlling the emission of N2O in adipic acid tail gas include thermal decomposition, direct catalytic decomposition and selective reduction technology. Among them, the direct catalytic decomposition technology is the most widely used, which uses noble metal, transition metal oxide, molecular sieve and other catalysts to decompose N2O into N2 and O2 at a window temperature of 450-550℃. However, this process has problems such as high reaction temperature, narrow temperature window, low selectivity of catalyst and deactivation, and does not consider the resource utilization of N2O.

[0004] CN 104437499 A discloses a catalyst for decomposing nitrous oxide and a preparation method thereof, which is prepared by a precipitation deposition method. The method includes the preparation of precipitate, washing, molding of precipitate and catalyst activation processes. The catalyst uses one or more than two of Co, Ni, Fe and Mn as active components, zirconium oxide as carrier, and one or more than one of cerium oxide, lanthanum oxide and barium oxide as auxiliary agent. It is suitable for removing N2O in nitric acid plants and adipic acid plants.

[0005] CN 114984749 A discloses a high-efficiency and energy-saving nitrous gas emission reduction process method, which includes multiple catalytic emission reduction components, including an N2O emission reduction reaction unit and a NO x emission reduction reaction unit. The device imports adipic acid plant process gas and compressed air, and after catalytic emission reduction treatment, it becomes harmless N2 and O2 to the atmosphere. However, this process generates N2 and O2 with low utilization value, and if pure nitrogen or oxygen is to be separated, new devices need to be added for separation, which is high in cost.

[0006] CN 109499357 A discloses a method for treating nitrous oxide emissions in industrial devices. The method is based on a nitric acid oxidation furnace basic device, and a "spider web" shaped platinum catalyst is loaded on the bracket to convert N2O generated in the production of nitric acid into N2 and O2, NO2 and NO. Although the technology mentioned in the technical solution mixes air and ammonia gas and then removes nitrous oxide through the oxidation furnace, platinum catalyst is still used to catalyze the reaction, and there are a series of problems such as the conversion device cannot run for a long time, the catalyst needs to be replaced regularly, or the conversion rate is reduced after the catalyst is deactivated.

[0007] CN 1045277 C discloses a method for generating NO from a gas stream containing N2O. The method specifically discloses that the temperature of the mixed gas containing N2O and hydrocarbon gas (methane) is heated to at least 1000℃ to generate NO, and the generated NO is then used to produce nitric acid. The structure and material of the heat exchanger are also limited. However, the generated NO is slightly soluble in water and unstable, and the final effect of using the recovered NO to produce nitric acid cannot be known from the disclosed content.

[0008] Based on the above-mentioned prior art, there is a need for a method that can both reduce the N2O content in adipic acid tail gas to meet industrial emission standards and fully utilize the N2O in adipic acid tail gas for resource utilization. Moreover, the method should be able to reduce the cost of tail gas treatment. SUMMARY

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present application provides a method for resource utilization of N2O in adipic acid tail gas, which comprises the following steps:

[0010] (1) mixing adipic acid tail gas and air uniformly according to a certain volume ratio to obtain a mixed reaction raw gas;

[0011] (2) passing the reaction raw gas in step (1) into an oxidation furnace, and by limiting the temperature, pressure, flow rate of the reaction raw gas and reaction time of the specific oxidation furnace, a reaction product gas is obtained, which includes N2O converted into NO2, N2 and O2 in the adipic acid tail gas, wherein the conversion rate of N2O is ≥99%, and the conversion rate of N2O converted into NO2 is ≥8%;

[0012] (3) cooling the reaction product gas in step (2) and sending it into an absorption tower from the bottom of the absorption tower, and contacting and reacting with water sprayed from the top of the absorption tower in countercurrent form to generate HNO3, wherein the conversion rate of NO2 is ≥99%.

[0013] Further, the components of the adipic acid tail gas in step (1) include N2at a volume fraction of 55-60%, N2O at 30-40%, O2at 3-10%, CO2at 0-3%, H2O at 0-2%, NO at 0-0.1%, and NO2at 0-0.05%.

[0014] Further, the volume ratio of the adipic acid tail gas to air in step (1) is 1:(1-1.1), which ensures that the oxygen in the air is in excess, so that the N2O in the adipic acid tail gas is fully reacted and oxygen is provided for the conversion of NO2into nitric acid.

[0015] Further, the air in step (1) is preheated to a temperature of 450-550°C before being mixed with the adipic acid tail gas.

[0016] Further, the temperature of the oxidation furnace in step (2) is 950-1100°C, the pressure in the oxidation furnace is slightly positive, the pressure range is 1-1.02 bar, the flow rate of the reaction raw gas is (8-9)*10 -3 m 3 / h, and the reaction time is 42-64 s.

[0017] Further, the conversion rate of N2O in step (2) is ≥99%, wherein the conversion rate of N2O converted into NO2is ≥8%, and the rest is converted into N2and O2, and the involved reaction formulae include:

[0018] 2N2O=2N2+O2

[0019] 2N2O+O2=2NO2+N2.

[0020] Further, the temperature of the cooling in step (3) is 380-400°C, the flow rate of the reaction generated gas is (8.5-9.5)*10 -3 m 3 / h, the flow rate of water is (0.4-0.5)*10 -3 m 3 / h, the pressure of the absorption tower is 400-495 Mpa, the concentration of HNO3generated is 58-60 wt%, the conversion rate of NO2in the reaction generated gas is ≥99%, and the involved reaction formulae include:

[0021] 4NO2+O2+H2O=4HNO3,

[0022] wherein, the oxygen involved in the reaction comes from the oxygen in the adipic acid tail gas and the air in step (1), achieving full utilization of oxygen.

[0023] Further, the HNO3 generated in step (3) flows out from the bottom of the absorption tower and is collected, and the tail gas is discharged from the top of the absorption tower, and the content of N2O in the tail gas is ≤100 mg / m 3 , which is lower than the NO x emission limit 180 mg / m 3 in GB 31571-2015 "Petroleum Chemical Industry Pollutant Discharge Standard".

[0024] Further, the tail gas is further treated by an SCR denitration module before being discharged to generate discharge gas, the discharge gas includes N2, O2, and the purpose of the SCR denitration module is to provide an additional guarantee for the discharged tail gas, so that when the process fails, the substandard tail gas is not directly discharged to cause air pollution.

[0025] Further, the temperature of the reaction gas generated in step (2) is 950-1100 DEG C, and the reaction gas can be preheated by a heat exchanger, and the temperature of the reaction gas after heat exchange is reduced to 380-400 DEG C, and the temperature of the air preheated by the heat exchanger is increased to 450-550 DEG C, thereby saving the heat required for heating the reaction raw gas in the oxidation furnace, and achieving the purpose of recovering and utilizing heat,

[0026] The heat exchanger can shorten the reaction time in the oxidation furnace while achieving energy recovery and utilization, so that N2O is rapidly converted into NO2, N2 and O2 within 42-64 seconds, thereby achieving the effects of N2O conversion rate ≥ 99% and N2O conversion rate into NO2 ≥ 8%.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0028] 1. By changing the tail gas treatment process, it is unexpectedly found that N2O in adipic acid tail gas can be treated without using a catalyst, and further, nitric acid with industrial value and nitrogen and oxygen without environmental impact can be produced, the technical solution of the present application does not need to use a catalyst, and can achieve the treatment of N2O in adipic acid tail gas and at the same time generate economic benefits, and the process is simple, the N2O removal rate is high, the stability is high, the environment is friendly, the resource utilization rate is high, and the cost of tail gas catalytic treatment can be greatly reduced.

[0029] 2. Compared with the process in the prior art which needs to use a catalyst to decompose and treat N2O and needs to be parked regularly to replace the catalyst, the method of the present application can continuously operate and continuously solve the problem of adipic acid industrial tail gas emission, so that it meets the industrial emission standard, reduces the cost of enterprises to treat tail gas, and has important practical significance and engineering application value.

[0030] 3. The heat exchanger in the method for resource utilization of N2O in adipic acid tail gas of the present invention can not only complete energy recovery and utilization, but also coordinate the limitation of various parameters in the oxidation furnace, effectively shortening the reaction time in the oxidation furnace. This allows N2O to be rapidly and stably converted into NO2, N2, and O2 within 42-64 seconds, achieving a conversion rate of N2O ≥99% and a conversion rate of N2O to NO2 ≥8%. This can accelerate the treatment of adipic acid tail gas and can be matched with upstream enterprises that produce adipic acid in large-scale continuous production. It allows enterprises to continuously and rapidly treat adipic acid tail gas in a harmless manner while producing the value-added product nitric acid, thus meeting environmental protection requirements.

[0039] (3) The reaction product gas D from step (2) is cooled to 380°C via a high-temperature gas-to-gas heat exchanger 3 and then fed into the absorption tower 5 from the bottom. At this time, the flow rate of the reaction product gas D is 8.5*10 -3 m 3 / h, while water E flows at a velocity of 0.41*10 -3 m 3 Water is sprayed from the top of absorption tower 5 by pump 9 at a rate of / h. The generated gas D comes into countercurrent contact with the water E sprayed from the top of absorption tower 5 and reacts. The pressure in absorption tower 5 is 450 MPa, producing nitric acid (HNO3)G with a concentration of 58 wt%.

[0048] The temperature of the reaction gas D generated in step (2) is 1000℃, and the reaction gas D can be preheated by the high-temperature gas-gas heat exchanger 3 to preheat the air B. After heat exchange, the temperature of the reaction gas D is reduced to 380℃, and the temperature of the air B preheated by the heat exchanger is increased to 500℃, saving the heat required for heating the reaction raw gas C in the oxidation furnace 2, achieving the purpose of recovering and utilizing heat, while also coordinating the limitation of various parameters in the oxidation furnace 2, effectively shortening the reaction time in the oxidation furnace 2, so that N2O is quickly converted into NO2, N2 and O2 within 52s, and the conversion rate of N2O is 100%, the conversion rate of N2O converted into NO2 is 8.3%, which can speed up the treatment of adipic acid tail gas A, can match the upstream enterprises of large-scale continuous production of adipic acid, and can bring additional value products of nitric acid G to the enterprises while continuously and quickly treating the adipic acid tail gas A, meeting the environmental protection requirements.
