Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coking wastewater recycling and treatment technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing calcium thiocyanate using desulfurization wastewater. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide in coke oven gas are harmful substances that can corrode production equipment, cause catalyst poisoning, and lead to air pollution and human health problems during subsequent production processes. Since the 1980s, my country's coke oven gas desulfurization and decyanation processes have continuously improved and developed, with new technologies constantly being applied to industrial production. Wet oxidation desulfurization technology, in particular, has seen rapid development and is widely used in the coking industry. Currently, wet processes include HPF, FRC, TH, modified ADA, tannin-based (TV) process, PDS, and others. These processes offer significant desulfurization effects, but they also generate side reactions, with the main byproducts being thiocyanate, thiosulfate, and sulfate. The accumulation of these byproducts increases the viscosity of the desulfurization liquid, significantly reducing desulfurization efficiency. Therefore, coking plants regularly discharge desulfurization wastewater. Currently, the main treatment methods for this wastewater are the extraction of ammonium thiocyanate and sodium thiocyanate for resource utilization or incineration for acid production. Calcium thiocyanate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca(SCN)2, mainly used in the pesticide, pharmaceutical, electroplating, textile, construction, and chemical reagent industries. Appearance: White crystalline powder, easily soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, and acetone. Extracting calcium thiocyanate from desulfurization wastewater is a practical method for the resource-based treatment of coking desulfurization wastewater. Therefore, how to extract high-purity calcium thiocyanate from desulfurization wastewater is of great significance for transforming desulfurization wastewater into an effective secondary resource and reducing environmental pollution.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] This invention provides a method for preparing calcium thiocyanate using desulfurization wastewater. The principle is as follows: calcium nitrate and ammonium thiocyanate are dissolved into 30-50% solutions respectively. Under heating conditions of 70-80℃ and stirring at 60-80 r / min, the calcium nitrate solution is slowly added dropwise to the hot ammonium thiocyanate solution. The addition is completed in 2-3 hours. Under heating conditions of 100-120℃, a double decomposition reaction occurs to generate calcium thiocyanate and ammonium nitrate. With continuous heating and the evaporation of water, the concentration of calcium thiocyanate gradually increases. Ammonium nitrate undergoes thermal decomposition to produce nitrogen oxides and ammonia. The process gas rich in nitrogen oxides and ammonia is condensed and incorporated into the coking deammoniation and denitrification section for treatment. Finally, the product is evaporated and concentrated to obtain calcium thiocyanate product with a concentration of about 50%.
[0018] Key control factors in the process:
[0019] ① In the preparation of ammonium sulfate and calcium nitrate solutions, the content should be controlled at 30-50%;
[0020] ② While stirring, slowly add the calcium nitrate solution dropwise into the hot ammonium thiocyanate solution. The addition should be slow, and the temperature should be carefully controlled to prevent a violent reaction and boiling. Calcium thiocyanate and ammonium nitrate will be generated.
[0021] ③ With continued heating and evaporation of moisture, the concentration of calcium thiocyanate gradually increases. Ammonium nitrate decomposes upon heating to produce nitrogen oxides and ammonia.
[0022] ④ The process gases rich in nitrogen oxides and ammonia generated are condensed and then incorporated into the coking deammoniation and denitrification sections for further treatment;
[0023] ⑤ Finally, the product is evaporated and concentrated to obtain calcium thiocyanate with a purity of about 50%.
