Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of flue gas desulfurization, and particularly relates to a sodium alkali method flue gas desulfurization and an absorption liquid regeneration system thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the existing industrial production process, coal-fired boilers, industrial kilns, waste incinerators and the like will produce flue gas containing SO2 and other pollutants, SO2 is one of the main pollutants causing air pollution and acid rain, which causes great harm to people's health, economic development, ecological beauty and social progress. It is one of the important tasks of current air pollution control to take effective measures to control the emission of SO2 and realize the resource utilization of SO2. Current flue gas desulfurization technologies mainly include limestone-gypsum flue gas desulfurization, ammonia flue gas desulfurization, sodium-calcium dual alkali flue gas desulfurization and the like.

[0003] The ammonia flue gas desulfurization technology uses ammonia as the absorbent of SO2, ammonia reacts with SO2 to generate ammonium sulfite and ammonium bisulfite, and ammonium sulfite is oxidized to generate ammonium sulfate which is crystallized out of the desulfurization system and sold as a by-product. The absorbent utilization efficiency of ammonia desulfurization is high, the desulfurization efficiency is high, and the by-product ammonium sulfate can be used as a compound fertilizer raw material or directly used as a chemical fertilizer, but ammonia has strong volatility, which increases the consumption of the absorbent, and a large amount of aerosol particulate matter is generated in the ammonia desulfurization process, which causes secondary pollution to the environment.

[0004] The sodium-calcium dual alkali flue gas desulfurization first uses sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate solution as the absorbent to absorb SO2, and then uses lime milk or lime to regenerate the absorption liquid. The sodium-calcium dual alkali flue gas desulfurization has small liquid-gas ratio and high reliability, but due to the extremely low reaction conversion rate of the oxidation by-product sodium sulfate in the regeneration process, the absorption liquid regeneration effect is poor, and the alkali solution needs to be supplemented regularly, in addition, calcium sulfite and calcium sulfate cannot be completely precipitated and enter the main tower with the absorption liquid, which causes fouling in the tower.

[0005] Therefore, a new flue gas desulfurization system is needed to overcome the above problems. SUMMARY
