AI Technical Summary
Under low water-ash ratio conditions, the specific surface area and purity of calcium hydroxide prepared by traditional dry methods are insufficient, resulting in low flue gas desulfurization efficiency. Furthermore, at high water-ash ratios, agglomeration is prone to occur, increasing energy consumption and costs.
Additives such as trithiocyanate, calcium lignosulfonate, or sodium p-aminobenzenesulfonate are added during the quicklime digestion reaction. These additives disrupt the water film tension, promoting the participation of water molecules in the reaction, thus preparing calcium hydroxide with a high specific surface area. The water-lime ratio is 0.3–0.4, the digestion temperature is 25℃–45℃, and the rotation speed is 1000 r/min–1700 r/min.
This method enables the preparation of high specific surface area calcium hydroxide at a low water-ash ratio, reducing water content, simplifying the preparation process, improving desulfurization efficiency, and reducing energy consumption. It is suitable for efficient flue gas desulfurization.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of calcium hydroxide preparation technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing high specific surface area calcium hydroxide by a dry process with a low water-ash ratio. Background Technology
[0002] Sulfur dioxide is a colorless gas with a pungent odor at room temperature and is one of the major sources of air pollution. It is classified as a Group 3 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization, and is primarily produced by emissions from combustion processes. Sulfur dioxide can combine with water vapor in the atmosphere to form acid rain, posing a serious threat to human health and the ecological environment. Therefore, desulfurization of flue gas to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions is of great significance for sustainable social development.
[0003] With the increasing prominence of sulfur dioxide pollution in the atmosphere, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) technology has been widely developed. Based on the amount of water used in the desulfurization process, FGD technologies are classified into wet, semi-dry, and dry methods. Among them, limestone-gypsum wet FGD technology is a relatively mature and widely used FGD technology. This technology uses calcium hydroxide as the absorbent. Flue gas enters the spray tower from bottom to top, reacting with sulfur dioxide in the flue gas to form calcium sulfite, which is then further oxidized to calcium sulfate by air. In this process, the specific surface area of calcium hydroxide is a key factor affecting the sulfur dioxide removal efficiency.
[0004] Traditional dry methods for preparing calcium hydroxide often require a high water-to-ash ratio to achieve a high specific surface area. At low water-to-ash ratios, calcium oxide and water cannot fully contact and react, resulting in a low hydration rate and consequently, low purity and specific surface area of the prepared calcium hydroxide. Conversely, high water-to-ash ratios can cause clumping during digestion, preventing uniform reaction within the calcium oxide and resulting in high water content, substandard quality, and hindering flue gas desulfurization.
[0005] To ensure the product meets moisture content standards, companies often need to add a drying process, significantly increasing energy consumption and costs. Therefore, preparing calcium hydroxide with a high specific surface area at a lower water-cement ratio is an ideal preparation process. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention aims to provide a method for preparing calcium hydroxide with high specific surface area under low water-ash ratio conditions, and the prepared calcium hydroxide can be used for efficient flue gas desulfurization.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0008] A method for preparing high specific surface area calcium hydroxide using a low water-cement ratio dry process involves adding an additive during the quicklime slaking reaction. Based on the additive's effect of disrupting the surface water film tension of the powder particles, confined water molecules participate in the slaking reaction, thereby achieving the preparation of high specific surface area calcium hydroxide under low water-cement ratio conditions. The water-cement ratio is 0.3–0.4, and the specific surface area of the calcium hydroxide is not less than 45 m². 2 / g.
[0009] Furthermore, the water content of the calcium hydroxide is not higher than 0.2 wt%.
[0010] Furthermore, the quicklime needs to be crushed and sieved to a particle size of less than 200 mesh, with an effective calcium oxide content of not less than 90%.
[0011] Furthermore, the additive is any one or more of trithiocyanate, calcium lignosulfonate, and sodium p-aminobenzenesulfonate.
[0012] Furthermore, the mass concentration of the additive is 0.1% to 0.5%.
[0013] Furthermore, the temperature range of the digestion reaction is 25°C to 45°C.
[0014] Furthermore, the rotation speed range of the digestion reaction process is 1000 r / min to 1700 r / min.
[0015] Application of high specific surface area calcium hydroxide prepared by the above method in efficient flue gas desulfurization.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0017] (1) This invention adds a special functional additive during the lime digestion process to promote the dispersion of calcium hydroxide particles, destroy the flocculation structure, release the encapsulated water molecules to participate in the digestion reaction, thereby reducing the water-ash ratio in the dry digestion process, resulting in a lower water content in the product calcium hydroxide, avoiding complex drying procedures, reducing energy consumption, simplifying the process of industrial preparation of high specific surface area calcium hydroxide, and helping to achieve large-scale application production.
[0018] (2) The hydrophilic side chains on the surface of the additive extend in the aqueous solution, forming a steric hindrance effect, increasing the specific surface area between calcium hydroxide particles, and improving the pore size and pore volume. Therefore, the obtained calcium hydroxide with high activity and high specific surface area has a high removal efficiency of sulfur dioxide in flue gas. Detailed Implementation
