[0034] Take 2000L desulfurization waste liquid and pump it into a filter to preliminarily remove suspended sulfur, tar and other impurities, then pump the purified filtrate into a decolorization kettle, add activated carbon, and then stir and heat to decolorize under normal pressure (95-100℃, the temperature of heating decolorization in the present embodiment is 100℃), suspended sulfur, tar, hydroquinone and the like are basically removed under the action of activated carbon; the water vapor and part of the volatile substances volatilized from the decolorization kettle are captured by a condenser and then discharged into a clear liquid pool; after the activated carbon decolorization is completed, it is discharged into a suction filter, and after the activated carbon is separated, the obtained desulfurization liquid enters an evaporation kettle, and under the condition of negative pressure stirring, it is evaporated and concentrated to some microcrystals at 75℃ for the first time, and the concentrated liquid is sent to a crystallization kettle for the first time at 40℃ for 4h, and after the first centrifugal separation, 164.64kg of ammonium thiosulfate crude product is obtained, with a purity of 89.37%;

[0035] The solution after the first centrifugal separation is evaporated and concentrated to some microcrystals at 75℃ under the condition of negative pressure stirring for the second time, and then sent to a crystallization kettle for the second time at 20℃ for 4h, and after the second centrifugal separation, 283.84kg of ammonium thiocyanate crude product is obtained, with a purity of 85.76%;

[0036] The solution after the second centrifugal separation is returned to the evaporation kettle, and is evaporated and concentrated at 75°C under negative pressure and stirring to form a small amount of crystals. The crystals are sent to a crystallization kettle, and are crystallized at 0°C for the third time. The third centrifugal separation is performed to obtain 205.14 kg of the ammonium sulfate crude product with a purity of 82.69%.

Thus, 43.21 kg of the ammonium thiosulfate pure product is obtained, with a recovery rate of 86.42%, a purity of 98.37%, and an actual recovery rate of 95.12%.

[0039] The filtrate is evaporated and concentrated to obtain a concentrate. The concentrate can be used for further purification of the ammonium thiocyanate crude product by using the method for purifying the ammonium thiocyanate crude product. The solvent is recovered and mixed with a new solvent to continue to be used for purification of the ammonium thiosulfate crude product.

[0040] S3, purification of the ammonium thiocyanate crude product

[0041] The 100 kg of the ammonium thiocyanate crude product is added with 400 kg of an ethyl acetate-ketone mixed solution containing ethyl acetate with a concentration of 3 vol%. The ammonium thiocyanate is dissolved by heating and refluxing for 0.5 h. The temperature is lowered to room temperature. The insoluble ammonium thiosulfate and ammonium sulfate are removed by filtration. The filtrate is concentrated to dryness to obtain a concentrate. The ethyl acetate-ketone mixed solution is recovered and used for purification of the ammonium thiocyanate crude product.

[0042] The concentrate is added with 3 times by weight of ethyl acetate, and is heated to dissolve the residual impurities again. The temperature is lowered to 0°C, and is maintained for 4 h. Filtration is performed to obtain 84.51 kg of the ammonium thiocyanate pure product, with a recovery rate of 84.51%, a purity of 99.43%, and an actual recovery rate of 97.98%.

The impurities are dissolved by heating and stirring at 53°C for 0.5 h. The temperature is lowered to 12°C, and is maintained for 4 h. Filtration is performed, and a small amount of the 5 vol% water-ketone solution is used for washing. Thus, 80.48 kg of the ammonium sulfate pure product is obtained, with a recovery rate of 80.48%, a purity of 98.72%, and an actual recovery rate of 96.08%.

[0046] The filtrate is recovered and used for purification of the ammonium sulfate crude product.

[0047] The filtrate was reused for 10 times, and then concentrated by evaporation to obtain a concentrate which was used as the ammonium thiocyanate crude product for further purification.

[0048] The actual recovery rate (%) = the weight of the pure product x the purity of the pure product ÷ (the weight of the crude product x the purity of the crude product) x 100%.

[0062] The concentrate was added with 3 times weight of ethyl acetate and heated to dissolve the residual impurities again. After cooling to 0°C and maintaining for 4 hours, filtration was performed to obtain 8.962 kg of ammonium thiocyanate product with a recovery rate of 89.62%, a purity of 87.98% and an actual recovery rate of 91.94%.

[0063] S4, purification of ammonium sulfate crude product

[0064] The 10 kg of ammonium sulfate crude product was added with 20 kg of water-acetone mixed solution containing water with a concentration of 15 vol%, heated to 53°C and stirred to dissolve the impurities for 0.5 h.

[0065] The specific process of steps S3-S4 in Comparative Example 2 is as follows:

[0066] S3, purification of ammonium thiocyanate crude product

[0067] The 10 kg of ammonium thiocyanate crude product was added with 40 kg of acetone, heated to reflux to dissolve the ammonium thiocyanate for 0.5 h, cooled to room temperature, and filtration was performed to remove the insoluble ammonium thiosulfate and ammonium sulfate. The filtrate was concentrated to dryness to obtain a concentrate, and the ethyl acetate-acetone mixed solution was recovered for purification of ammonium thiocyanate crude product.

[0068] The concentrate was added with 3 times weight of ethyl acetate and heated to dissolve the residual impurities again. After cooling to 0°C and maintaining for 4 hours, filtration was performed to obtain 6.357 kg of ammonium thiocyanate product with a recovery rate of 63.57%, a purity of 92.67% and an actual recovery rate of 68.69%.

[0069] S4, purification of ammonium sulfate crude product

[0070] The 10 kg of ammonium sulfate crude product was added with 20 kg of acetone, heated to 53°C and stirred to dissolve the impurities for 0.5 h. After cooling to 12°C and maintaining for 4 hours, filtration was performed with a small amount of acetone for washing to obtain 8.539 kg of ammonium sulfate product with a recovery rate of 85.39%, a purity of 85.66% and an actual recovery rate of 88.46%.

[0075] From Comparative Examples 1-4, it can be seen that changing the type of solvent and the crystallization temperature in the purification process will cause the purity or actual recovery rate of the obtained ammonium thiosulfate pure product, ammonium thiocyanate pure product and ammonium sulfate pure product to decrease to different degrees, which is not conducive to the recovery and application of ammonium thiosulfate, ammonium thiocyanate and ammonium sulfate.

[0076] Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
