Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial waste gas recycling technology, specifically, it relates to a method for desulfurization by reacting hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide in brine. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous acceleration of industrialization, the emission of large amounts of industrial waste gas has caused serious environmental pollution. Among these waste gases, hydrogen sulfide is a common harmful gas with a strong pungent odor and toxicity, posing a great threat to human health and the ecological environment. Therefore, the recovery of hydrogen sulfide gas is of great significance.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for treating hydrogen sulfide gas are divided into two categories: wet methods and dry methods. Wet methods include absorption methods and wet oxidation methods; dry methods include metal oxidation methods, activated carbon methods, molecular sieve methods, as well as biological methods and membrane separation methods.

[0004] Wet desulfurization uses solvents or solutions as desulfurizing agents. Through gas-liquid contact, H2S is absorbed by the liquid phase, achieving purification. The characteristics of wet desulfurization include the regeneration and recycling of the desulfurizing agent, a large sulfur capacity, continuous operation, and the ability to be scaled up for production. It is suitable for purifying feed gases with high sulfur content. Wet desulfurization is widely used due to its advantages such as high desulfurization efficiency, simple operation, and low operating costs. Wet desulfurization mainly includes ammonia desulfurization, amine desulfurization, and ionic liquid desulfurization. Different desulfurization methods can be selected based on the enterprise's conditions and the concentration differences of the smelting gas. For high-concentration hydrogen sulfide gas, it can be used for acid production or converted into elemental sulfur to recover sulfur resources, achieving efficient resource utilization.

[0005] Considering current market demand and transportation conditions, sulfur is easier to store and transport than sulfuric acid. Therefore, converting hydrogen sulfide into sulfur, a product with higher added value, is a better way to achieve this goal in terms of environmental friendliness and resource utilization. However, the existing process for converting hydrogen sulfide into sulfur still uses the traditional Claus process with fixed-bed catalytic oxidation. This process has excessively high operating costs and requires stringent reaction temperatures, severely limiting its application in actual production. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a process and apparatus for preparing sulfur by reacting hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide in brine, in order to solve the problems of high production cost of traditional Claus process and energy consumption issues such as easy foaming and high-temperature regeneration and recycling when using organic solvents as absorbents. The process apparatus combined with the process method allows hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide to undergo a Claus reaction in an aqueous solution, achieving solution recycling while obtaining high-purity sulfur products.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a method for desulfurization by reacting hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide in brine, comprising a process apparatus for the above method.

Flow a brine solution into the top of the reactor at a rate of 10-20 L / h, stirring continuously at a set stirring speed of 100-200 rpm. When the liquid in the reactor reaches the bottom of the overflow tank, stop the flow, open the inlet valve, and turn on the heating element to control the temperature of the reaction solution. First, introduce sulfur dioxide gas to bring the pH of the brine to 4-5, then introduce hydrogen sulfide gas. Following the gas reaction ratio will ensure more complete sulfur production.

[0009] Furthermore, the impeller is sealed to the reactor body by a sealing packing ring.

[0010] Furthermore, temperature and pH meters are installed on both sides of the reactor body.

[0011] Furthermore, the outlet of the overflow tank is a right-angle bend.

[0012] Furthermore, a brine solution is introduced into the top of the reactor body at a rate of 15 L / h, and the stirring speed is set to 150 rpm.

[0013] Furthermore, the reaction ratio of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur dioxide is 0.5:1 to 4:1.

[0014] Furthermore, the reaction ratio of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur dioxide is 1.5:1.

[0015] Furthermore, the temperature of the reaction system is 25-80℃, and the concentration of the salt solution is 3 g / L-10 g / L.

[0016] Furthermore, the brine solution is selected from one or more of sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, aluminum chloride, and aluminum sulfate.

[0017] Furthermore, the hydrogen sulfide gas is pure hydrogen sulfide gas, industrial regenerated flue gas, acid production tail gas, or smelting acid gas.
