Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of activated coke preparation, in particular, the present application relates to a system and method for removing hydrogen sulfide and co-producing sulfur from activated coke containing calcium oxide. BACKGROUND

[0002] Activated coke, as a cheap and easy-to-produce, reusable adsorbent material, is widely used in pollutant treatment, air purification, water treatment, etc. However, fresh activated coke has poor adsorption and catalytic oxidation capacity for hydrogen sulfide, and usually needs to be modified by alkali metal oxide. At present, the commonly used modification method in industry is calcium oxide modification, which uses calcium carbonate to load calcium oxide on activated coke. It mainly impregnates activated coke with calcium carbonate solution and calcines to produce activated coke containing calcium oxide. Carbon dioxide pollution gas is generated in the production process.

[0003] The production of industrial by-product gypsum in China is about 118 million tons, and the comprehensive utilization rate is only 38%. Among them, about 43 million tons of desulfurization gypsum, the comprehensive utilization rate is about 56%; about 50 million tons of phosphogypsum, the comprehensive utilization rate is about 20%; about 25 million tons of other by-product gypsum, the comprehensive utilization rate is about 40%. The cumulative stockpile of industrial by-product gypsum has exceeded 300 million tons, of which more than 50 million tons of desulfurization gypsum and more than 200 million tons of phosphogypsum. The large stockpiling of industrial by-product gypsum not only occupies land, but also wastes resources. The acid and other harmful substances contained therein are easy to pollute the surrounding environment, which has become an important factor restricting the sustainable development of coal-fired unit flue gas desulfurization and phosphate fertilizer enterprises in China.

[0004] Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic and foul-smelling acid gas, which not only causes corrosion of metals and other materials, but also easily leads to catalyst poisoning and deactivation in chemical production. H2S also harms human health and causes environmental pollution. With the increase of high-sulfur crude oil processing capacity in China, the amount of H2S-containing acid tail gas produced in oil refining and hydrogenation refining units is increasing year by year. Since the concentration of H2S in most acid tail gas is low, there is no good treatment method at present. Therefore, harmless treatment technology for large amounts of H2S gas generated in the fields of petroleum, natural gas, coal and mineral processing industries has become a hot spot of attention.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to efficiently and low-cost prepare activated coke containing calcium oxide and to resourcefully utilize industrial by-product gypsum and H2S-containing industrial tail gas. SUMMARY

The industrial by-product gypsum is stored in large quantities, which not only occupies land but also wastes resources, and the contained acid and other harmful substances are easy to pollute the surrounding environment. A large amount of H2S gas is generated in the fields of petroleum, natural gas, coal and mineral processing industries, which needs harmless treatment technology.

The gas containing SO2 has a too high temperature and needs to be cooled by the heat exchanger, and then fed into the Claus reactor to react with the exogenous H2S gas to produce sulfur.

[0050] In the embodiment of the application, the calcium sulfate is used as the raw material, the calcium sulfide is reduced by the coal powder to prepare the active coke containing calcium oxide, and no carbon dioxide is discharged during the preparation process. Meanwhile, the sulfur dioxide is generated during the decomposition of the calcium sulfate and reacts with the industrial tail gas containing H2S to co-produce sulfur, so that the hydrogen sulfide is recycled. The calcium oxide is a low-carbon product, and the calcium oxide is added into the active coke to strengthen the activation process during the preparation process and improve the performance of the active coke.

[0051] In some embodiments, a desulfurization tower 8 is further included, which has an active coke inlet, a tail gas inlet and a desulfurized active coke outlet, the active coke inlet is communicated with the solid outlet, the tail gas inlet is communicated with the tail gas outlet, and the desulfurized active coke outlet is communicated with the endothermic side inlet.

The active coke passes through the desulfurization tower to obtain desulfurized active coke, and the high-temperature gas separated from the gas-solid separation passes through the heat exchanger to regenerate the desulfurized active coke, so that the active coke is heated to 300-500 DEG C, the adsorbed hydrogen sulfide is desorbed, and the regenerated active coke can be recycled; the desorbed hydrogen sulfide enters the Claus reactor again for reaction.

[0052] In some embodiments, a sulfur storage tank 10 is further included, which is provided with a sulfur inlet, and the sulfur inlet is communicated with the sulfur outlet.

[0053] In some embodiments, an active coke storage bin 9 is further included, which is provided with a solid inlet, and the solid inlet is communicated with the solid outlet.

[0056] In some embodiments, the reducing gas inlet is arranged at the bottom of the coke oven 4.

[0057] In some embodiments, the coke oven 4 includes a burner for heating the coke oven 4.

[0058] The method for removing hydrogen sulfide and co-producing sulfur by using the active coke containing calcium oxide according to the embodiments of the present application adopts the system according to the embodiments of the present application, and includes the following steps:

[0059] (1) mixing the pulverized coal and the gypsum to obtain a mixture, and performing reduction and coking reaction on the mixture and the H2S gas in the coke oven 4 to obtain a mixed product;

[0060] (2) performing gas-solid separation on the mixed product, and separating the solid to obtain the active coke containing calcium oxide, and separating the gas to obtain the SO2-containing gas;

[0061] (3) The SO2-containing gas and the H2S gas are subjected to a Claus reaction in the Claus reactor 7 to produce sulfur.

[0062] The method for producing sulfur by removing hydrogen sulfide with the active coke containing calcium oxide according to the embodiment of the application mixes the gypsum and the coal powder uniformly, and then sends them into a coke oven to perform reduction and coke-making reactions in a H2S gas atmosphere, so as to prepare the active coke containing calcium oxide. The pyrogenic sulfur dioxide gas and the hydrogen sulfide are reacted in a Claus reactor to produce sulfur.

[0063] In the embodiment of the application, the reduction with the hydrogen sulfide gas can reduce the decomposition temperature of calcium sulfate. With calcium sulfate as the raw material, the carbon in the coal has a reducing property. The calcium sulfide is reduced with the coal powder to prepare the active coke containing calcium oxide, and the sulfur dioxide is generated at the same time. No carbon dioxide is discharged in the preparation process. In the embodiment of the application, the reduction of the gypsum is realized to obtain calcium oxide. The coal powder is pyrolyzed and activated. The calcium oxide is added into the active coke. The calcium oxide strengthens the pore-forming process in the preparation process of the active coke, so that the active coke with a rich pore structure is formed, and the performance of the active coke is improved. The prepared active coke containing calcium oxide has physical and chemical adsorption properties, and can be used for treating multi-source pollution gas.

[0064] In the embodiment of the application, compared with other sulfur recovery processes, the process adopts the Claus sulfur recovery process, and the system has high stability. The high-concentration H2S gas entering the Claus reactor and the SO2 gas generated by the coke oven are directly reacted, so that the first stage of the Claus process, i.e., the process of preparing sulfur dioxide by reacting hydrogen sulfide and oxygen, can be omitted, and the efficiency of the reaction is improved. In the embodiment of the application, the industrial by-product gypsum which is difficult to treat and the H2S-containing industrial tail gas are resourceized and synergistically utilized to produce high-value sulfur, which provides a sustainable and pollution-free treatment method for the industrial by-product gypsum which is difficult to treat and the low-concentration H2S tail gas, realizes the resource utilization of the industrial solid waste gypsum and the H2S tail gas, and can treat H2S tail gas with any concentration.

[0065] In the embodiment of the application, the H2S, the coal powder and the gypsum are reacted to generate calcium oxide. Meanwhile, the coal is pyrolyzed and carbonized under a reducing atmosphere to generate the active coke containing calcium oxide and the SO2 gas with a high concentration. The gypsum and the coal are subjected to a reduction reaction as follows:

[0066] 2CaSO4+C→2CaO+2SO2+CO2

[0067] C+CO2→2CO

[0068] CaSO4+CO→CaO+SO2+CO2

[0069] The gypsum and the hydrogen sulfide are subjected to a reaction as follows:

[0070] H2S→H2+S

[0071] CaSO4 + H2→ CaO + H2O + SO2.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the gas containing SO2 contains not only SO2, but also part of H2 and S2. The S2 enters the sulfur storage tank together with the S2 produced by the Claus reaction to recover sulfur, and the obtained sulfur is stored in the sulfur storage tank.

[0073] In some embodiments, in the step (1), the coal powder and the gypsum are ground separately before mixing; preferably, each is ground to 200 mesh or less;

[0074] And / or, the coal powder comprises at least one of lignite, bituminous coal, and anthracite;

[0075] And / or, the gypsum comprises at least one of desulfurization gypsum, phosphogypsum, and fluorogypsum.

[0076] In some embodiments, in the step (1), the temperature of the reduction and coking reaction is 800-1200℃, and specifically, for example, 800℃, 900℃, 1000℃, 1100℃, or 1200℃; and / or, the time of the reduction and coking reaction is 1-3h, and specifically, for example, 1h, 2h, or 3h. In the embodiment of the present application, by optimizing the temperature and time of the reduction and coking reaction, the decomposition reaction of the gypsum and the coking reaction are fully and efficiently carried out. When the reaction temperature is too high, the calcium oxide obtained by the decomposition of the gypsum sinters, the active coke becomes coke, the pore structure collapses, and the adsorption performance decreases; when the reaction temperature is too low, the decomposition reaction of the gypsum and the coking reaction are not conducive to occur. When the reaction time is too long, the yield of the active coke is low; when the reaction time is too short, the decomposition of the gypsum is not complete, and the pore structure of the active coke is not developed.

[0077] In some embodiments, in the step (1), the H2S gas is replaced by a mixed gas of H2S and CO.

[0078] In some embodiments, in the step (1), the mass ratio of the coal powder to the gypsum is 10-100:1, and specifically, for example, 10:1, 30:1, 50:1, 80:1, or 100:1. In the embodiment of the present application, by optimizing the mass ratio of the coal powder to the gypsum, the active coke containing calcium oxide with excellent adsorption performance is obtained. When the proportion of the gypsum is too high, the proportion of calcium oxide in the prepared active coke is high, the content of the active coke as the adsorption main body is low, and the adsorption performance is poor; when the proportion of the gypsum is too low, the pore-forming effect of calcium oxide in the coking process is weak, the pore structure of the active coke is poor, and the active coke with developed pore structure cannot be formed.

[0079] In some embodiments, in the step (1), the molar ratio of the H2S gas to the gypsum is 2:1. By optimizing the ratio of the H2S gas to the gypsum, the preparation of the calcium oxide-containing active coke and the yield of the conversion of the hydrogen sulfide into the sulfur are facilitated in the embodiments of the present application. If the ratio of the H2S gas is too high, the content of the sulfur dioxide required for the Claus reaction in the product gas is reduced, and the yield of the sulfur is decreased. If the ratio of the H2S gas is too low, the content of the generated sulfur dioxide is reduced, and the yield of the sulfur is decreased.

[0080] In some embodiments, in the step (3), the temperature of the Claus reaction is lower than 425℃. By optimizing the temperature of the Claus reaction, the occurrence of the Claus reaction is facilitated in the embodiments of the present application. If the temperature is too high or too low, the rate of the Claus reaction is low.

[0081] In some embodiments, in the step (3), the molar ratio of the SO2 to the H2S in the gas containing the SO2 is 1:2.

[0082] In some embodiments, the Claus reaction is catalyzed by a catalyst, and preferably, the catalyst is vanadium pentoxide.

[0083] In some embodiments, in the step (2), the separated gas containing the SO2 is cooled by the heat exchanger 6; the temperature of the separated gas containing the SO2 is 800-1200℃, and specifically, for example, 800℃, 900℃, 1000℃, 1100℃, 1200℃, and the temperature after the cooling is 300-425℃, and specifically, for example, 300℃, 350℃, 400℃, 425℃.

[0084] In some embodiments, in the step (3), tail gas is generated after the Claus reaction, and the tail gas is desulfurized by the active coke containing the calcium oxide obtained by the gas-solid separation in the step (2) to obtain desulfurized active coke.

[0085] In some embodiments, in the step (3), the desulfurized active coke is regenerated by heating by the heat exchanger 6; the temperature of the regeneration is 300-500℃; the regenerated active coke is recycled; the regeneration desorbs the hydrogen sulfide adsorbed by the desulfurized active coke, and the desorbed hydrogen sulfide enters the Claus reactor for the reaction; the regeneration is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere, and the nitrogen is introduced from the heat absorption side inlet of the heat exchanger 6.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, the tail gas generated after the Claus reaction is desulfurized by using active coke containing calcium oxide, which can remove the unreacted hydrogen sulfide in the tail gas. The desulfurization active coke containing calcium oxide is heated by the heat exchanger for regeneration, so that the hydrogen sulfide adsorbed by the active coke is desorbed, the waste heat of the product gas of the coke oven is fully utilized, and the energy utilization efficiency is improved. The gas containing SO2 is cooled to 300-425℃, and then the Claus reaction is carried out in the Claus reactor with H2S gas, which is beneficial to improve the sulfur yield and reduce the emission of hydrogen sulfide-containing tail gas. The desulfurization active coke is regenerated in a nitrogen atmosphere, and the nitrogen can come from a nitrogen generator or a nitrogen cylinder. Nitrogen is an inert gas, which carries the regenerated hydrogen sulfide out as a carrier gas.

[0087] The present application will be described below with reference to specific embodiments, which should be merely illustrative in nature and not limit the present application in any way.
