[0045] In the present invention, the active component of the catalyst in the selective oxidation reactor may be a conventional hydrogen sulfide selective oxidation sulfur production catalyst in the art, and the active component of the catalyst in the selective oxidation reactor comprises iron oxide.
[0046] In the prior art, there is a situation where the catalyst in the selective oxidation reactor is sulfided due to insufficient oxygen, and loses its catalytic activity, resulting in excessively high concentrations of SO2 and H2S in the tail gas. The main active component of the catalyst in the selective oxidation reactor is Fe2O3. When the amount of oxygen entering the reactor is insufficient, Fe2O3 reacts with H2S to generate FeS. FeS is an activator of the Claus reverse reaction, which promotes the reaction of sulfur with water to generate H2S and SO2, resulting in excessively high concentrations of SO2 and H2S in the tail gas and increased SO2 emissions in the flue gas. The regeneration method of the present invention can solve the above-mentioned problems, realize efficient regeneration of the catalyst, and efficient preparation of sulfur. The relevant reactions of catalyst regeneration are:
[0047] FeS is the active agent of the Claus reverse reaction: 3S+2H2O→2H2S+SO2 (1)
[0048] The regeneration process of the present invention uses Claus tail gas and oxygen raw materials to regenerate the selective oxidation catalyst, FeS reacts with O2 to generate Fe2(SO4)3 and Fe2O3, and in the presence of H2S, H2S reacts with Fe2(SO4)3 to generate FeSO4, and FeSO4 continues to react with H2S to generate FeS, which is oxidized by oxygen to Fe2O3.
[0049] 3FeS + 6.75O2 →Fe2(SO4)3+0.5Fe2O3 (2)
[0050] Fe2(SO4)3+H2S→2FeSO4+H2SO4+S (3)
[0051] 2FeSO4+8H2S→8FeS+8S+8H2O (4)
[0052] After reaction (4), reaction (2) continues to occur, and the cycle repeats until FeS is converted into Fe2O3 and activation is completed.
[0053] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first Claus tail gas and the second Claus tail gas are independently obtained by subjecting a hydrogen sulfide feedstock and an oxygen feedstock to at least one, preferably 3-4, Claus reactions.
[0054] The Routh tail gas refers to the gas phase discharge from the last stage sulfur condenser in the upstream process of the selective oxidation reactor.

This gas (first Claus tail gas) serves as the regeneration acid gas for the selective oxidation catalyst;
[0059] (3) introducing a first oxygen-containing feedstock such as air before the fourth-stage heater so that the volume ratio of the first Claus tail gas to the first oxygen-containing feedstock is 10:1-5:1 (under this ratio range, the volume concentration of oxygen in the gas phase at the reactor outlet during regeneration is not less than 5%), and regeneration is performed to make the selective oxidation reactor operate in an oxygen-rich state;
[0060] (4) gradually increasing the reaction temperature at 10-20°C / h to regenerate the catalyst until the inlet temperature reaches 180-250°C, preferably 200-240°C, and the regeneration temperature is 180-260°C, preferably 200-250°C, and the regeneration is performed for 10-72 hours, preferably 24-60 hours;
[0061] (5) After regeneration is completed, gradually reduce the reactor inlet temperature to 180-230°C, preferably 200-220°C;
[0062] (6) Adjust the air supply of the incinerator so that the H2S concentration at the inlet of the selective oxidation reactor is between 0.3% and 1%;

[0075] (8) Put into normal production.
[0076] After activation, normal operating conditions are restored, the H2S conversion rate is above 95%, the selectivity of generated sulfur is >90%, which is equivalent to the activity of fresh catalyst, and the regeneration effect is good.

[0078] A 5,000 ton / year sulfur recovery unit uses a selective oxidation process to recover sulfur. One year after it was put into operation, the selective oxidation reactor was calibrated and it was found that the H2S conversion rate and the selectivity of sulfur generation in the selective oxidation reactor were greatly reduced. It was judged that the catalyst was seriously deactivated. After checking the historical records, no temperature runaway phenomenon was found in the bed. It was initially judged that the catalyst was in an oxygen-deficient state, so the catalyst needed to be regenerated. The regeneration steps are as follows:
[0079] (1) gradually reducing the inlet temperature of the selective oxidation reactor by 180°C;
[0080] (2) Reduce the air supply to the reactor so that the H2S concentration at the inlet of the selective oxidation reactor (Claus tail gas) is around 0.8% and the SO2 concentration is ≤ 0.04%. This gas is used as the regeneration acid gas for the selective oxidation catalyst;
[0081] (3) Air is introduced before the four-stage heater for regeneration, and the volume ratio of Claus tail gas and oxygen is controlled to be 7:1 (under this ratio range, the volume concentration of oxygen in the gas phase at the reactor outlet during regeneration is not less than 5%), so that the selective oxidation reactor operates in an oxygen-rich state;
[0082] (4) The catalyst was regenerated by gradually increasing the reaction temperature at 20°C / h until the inlet temperature reached 220°C. The regeneration temperature was 240°C and the regeneration time was 24 hours.
[0083] (5) After regeneration is completed, the reactor inlet temperature is gradually reduced to 205°C;
[0084] (6) Adjust the air supply of the incinerator so that the H2S concentration at the inlet of the selective oxidation reactor is around 0.4%;
[0085] (7) adjusting the regeneration air volume so that the O2 content at the outlet of the selective oxidation reactor is about 1.0% (V) (at this time, the volume ratio of Claus tail gas to regeneration air is in the range of 20:1-5:1), and maintaining operation under peroxygen conditions;
[0086] (8) Put into normal production.
[0087] After activation, normal operating conditions are restored, the H2S conversion rate is above 95%, the selectivity of generated sulfur is >90%, which is equivalent to the activity of fresh catalyst, and the regeneration effect is good.
[0088] Example 3
[0089] A 10,000 ton / year sulfur recovery unit uses a selective oxidation process to recover sulfur. Three years after it was put into operation, the selective oxidation reactor was calibrated and it was found that the H2S conversion rate and the selectivity of sulfur generation in the selective oxidation reactor were greatly reduced. It was judged that the catalyst was seriously deactivated. After checking the historical records, no temperature runaway phenomenon was found in the bed. It was initially judged that the catalyst was in an oxygen-deficient state, so the catalyst needed to be regenerated. The regeneration steps are as follows:
[0090] (1) gradually reducing the selective oxidation reactor inlet temperature by 185°C;
[0091] (2) Reduce the air supply to the reactor so that the H2S concentration at the inlet of the selective oxidation reactor (Claus tail gas) is around 0.3% and the SO2 concentration is ≤ 0.04%. This gas is used as the regeneration acid gas for the selective oxidation catalyst;
[0092] (3) Air is introduced before the four-stage heater for regeneration, and the volume ratio of Claus tail gas and oxygen is controlled to be 8:1 (under this ratio range, the volume concentration of oxygen in the gas phase at the reactor outlet during regeneration is not less than 5%), so that the selective oxidation reactor operates in an oxygen-rich state;
[0093] (4) The catalyst was regenerated by gradually increasing the reaction temperature at 15°C / h until the inlet temperature reached 210°C. The regeneration temperature was 220°C and the regeneration time was 32 hours.
[0094] (5) After regeneration is completed, gradually reduce the reactor inlet temperature to 200°C;
[0095] (6) Adjust the air supply of the incinerator so that the H2S concentration at the inlet of the selective oxidation reactor is around 0.5%;
[0096] (7) adjusting the regeneration air volume so that the O2 content at the outlet of the selective oxidation reactor is about 0.8% (V) (the volume ratio of the second Claus tail gas to the second oxygen-containing feedstock is 20:1-5:1, preferably 15:1-7:1), and operating under peroxygen conditions;
[0097] (8) Put into normal production.
[0098] During the regeneration process, the catalyst bed reaction temperature is strictly controlled below 280°C. When the temperature is over-temperature, the temperature is lowered by reducing the inlet H2S concentration or reducing the reactor inlet temperature, etc., which does not affect the catalyst activity. After the activation is completed, the normal operating conditions are restored, the H2S conversion rate is above 95%, and the selectivity of sulfur generation is >90%, which is equivalent to the activity of fresh catalysts, indicating that the regeneration effect is good.

[0108] Comparative Example 1
[0109] A 20,000 ton / year sulfur recovery unit adopted a selective oxidation process to recover sulfur. The SO2 emission concentration of the flue gas from the sulfur recovery unit continued to be high.

It was calculated that the H2S conversion rate of the catalyst in the selective oxidation reactor was between 20% and 40%, and the selectivity of sulfur generation was between 20% and 45%. The catalyst was severely deactivated, so the unit was shut down for catalyst replacement. The catalyst was used for only two and a half years, resulting in high operating costs for the unit.
