[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0032] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram. When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0033] Example 1, reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for separating cyanide in a nitrogen-transported coal powder process, the method comprising:

[0034] S1. The pulverized coal is transported to the gasifier 100 through nitrogen, and reacts with oxygen also transported to the gasifier 100 to generate 3MPa synthesis gas;

[0035] The pulverized coal is transported to the gasifier 100 by high-pressure nitrogen, and reacts with high-pressure oxygen also transported to the gasifier 100 to generate a synthesis gas of about 3 MPa.

[0036] S2. by removing dust from the synthesis gas;

[0037] The synthesis gas generated by the reaction in the gasifier 100 is introduced into the dust removal unit 200 for dust removal, and the dust content in the synthesis gas after the dust removal does not exceed 3 mg / Nm3.

[0038] S3. The dedusted synthesis gas is passed into the two-stage hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300;

[0039] The dedusted synthesis gas is introduced into a two-stage hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300 for cyanide treatment, wherein the hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300 is arranged in two stages, wherein a multifunctional hydrolysis catalyst is arranged in the upper stage and a carbonyl sulfide catalyst is arranged in the lower stage.

[0040] A multifunctional hydrolysis catalyst is arranged at the upper section of the hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300, which converts part of the carbonyl sulfide into hydrogen sulfide and converts the hydrogen cyanide into ammonia through a hydrolysis reaction. The hydrogen cyanide separation rate can reach 80%. The synthesis gas continues to pass through the carbonyl sulfide catalyst at the lower section to continue to convert the remaining carbonyl sulfide into hydrogen sulfide. The overall carbonyl sulfide separation rate can reach more than 90%.

[0041] The synthesis gas after catalytic cyanide separation will enter the subsequent water treatment system again. Since part of the cyanide is treated on the synthesis gas side, the cyanide content in the wastewater discharged from the water washing device is greatly reduced. The subsequent treatment of cyanide reduces a lot of pressure and can even meet the discharge standards, solving the problems of treating cyanide in water in the existing water treatment stage, which has large footprint, small processing capacity, high consumption cost, etc. The synthesis gas side is the stage where the synthesis gas has not passed through the water washing device.

[0042] Furthermore, during the dedusting stage of the synthesis gas, the synthesis gas in the dedusting unit 200 can be cooled simultaneously, and the temperature of the synthesis gas after cooling is lower than 120°, so as to avoid the deactivation of the multifunctional hydrolysis catalyst in the subsequent decyanation device.

[0043] It can cool down the dust removal unit 200 by spraying water mist, or pass the steam generated in the gasifier 100 into the dust removal unit 200, so that the steam merges with the synthesis gas in the dust removal unit 200, and cools down the synthesis gas in the dust removal unit 200. At the same time, the steam can further adsorb the dust in the synthesis gas when merging with the synthesis gas, thereby improving the dust removal efficiency while cooling the synthesis gas.

[0044] Example 2, reference Figure 1 , which is a second embodiment of the present invention, provides a cyanide separation device in a nitrogen-transported coal powder process, the device comprising a gasifier 100, a dust removal unit 200 and a hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300.

[0045] The pulverized coal is transported to the gasifier 100 by high-pressure nitrogen, and reacts with high-pressure oxygen also transported to the gasifier 100 to generate a synthesis gas of about 3 MPa; the dust removal unit 200 is connected to the gasifier 100, and the synthesis gas generated in the gasifier 100 enters the dust removal unit 200 for dust removal; the hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300 is connected to the dust removal unit 200, and a multifunctional hydrolysis catalyst is arranged in the upper section of the hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300, and a carbonyl sulfide catalyst is arranged in the lower section, and the synthesis gas after dust removal enters the hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300 for cyanide separation.

[0046] A multifunctional hydrolysis catalyst is arranged at the upper section of the hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300, which converts part of the carbonyl sulfide into hydrogen sulfide and converts the hydrogen cyanide into ammonia through a hydrolysis reaction. The hydrogen cyanide separation rate can reach 80%. The synthesis gas continues to pass through the carbonyl sulfide catalyst at the lower section to continue to convert the remaining carbonyl sulfide into hydrogen sulfide. The overall carbonyl sulfide separation rate can reach more than 90%.

[0047] The synthesis gas after catalytic cyanide separation will enter the subsequent water treatment system again. Since part of the cyanide is treated on the synthesis gas side, the cyanide content in the wastewater system is greatly reduced. The subsequent treatment of cyanide is greatly relieved and can even meet the discharge standards, solving the problems of existing water treatment stages in treating cyanide in water, such as large footprint, small treatment capacity, and high consumption costs.

[0048] Furthermore, two hydrogen cyanide catalytic units 300 are provided and arranged horizontally; the rotary separator 201 is connected to the two hydrogen cyanide catalytic units 300, and the two hydrogen cyanide catalytic units 300 are arranged in a one-in-use and one-in-standby configuration. When the catalyst of one of the hydrogen cyanide catalytic units 300 fails, the catalyst can be quickly converted into the second standby hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300; and the horizontal hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300 has a larger flow area and smaller resistance than the vertical one, so the pressure increase will not exceed 100 kPa, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the gasifier 100, because the environment of the gasifier 100 will change after the pressure increases, which will cause the gasifier 100 to fail to operate normally.

[0049] The dust removal unit 200 includes a rotary separator 201 connected to the gasifier 100 , a first lock bucket 202 connected to the rotary separator 201 , and a second lock bucket 203 connected to the first lock bucket 202 ; the hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300 is connected to the rotary separator 201 .

[0050] When the dust removal unit 200 is working: the dust in the synthesis gas is separated by the rotary separator 201. When the rotary separator 201 is connected to the first lock bucket 202, the dust collected by the rotary separator 201 enters the first lock bucket 202. When the dust in the first lock bucket 202 reaches a certain amount, the channel between the rotary separator 201 and the first lock bucket 202 is closed, and the second lock bucket 203 is pressurized so that the pressure between it and the first lock bucket 202 is equal. At this time, the channel between the rotary separator 201 and the first lock bucket 202 is closed, and the channel between the first lock bucket 202 and the second lock bucket 203 is connected. The dust will enter the second lock bucket 203, the channel between the first lock bucket 202 and the second lock bucket 203 is closed, the pressure of the second lock bucket 203 is relieved, and the dust in the second lock bucket 203 is removed; the whole process is repeated for continuous dust removal.

[0051] During use: coal powder is transported to the gasifier 100 by high-pressure nitrogen, and reacts with high-pressure oxygen also transported to the gasifier 100 to generate synthesis gas of about 3 MPa. The synthesis gas enters the rotary separator 201 to rotate and separate the dust in the synthesis gas, and then enters the hydrogen cyanide catalytic unit 300 to separate cyanide.

[0052] The separated synthesis gas enters the water washing device 400 in the water treatment stage, and the synthesis gas is washed by passing water into the water washing device 400. The water washing washes out a small amount of dust and cyanide in the synthesis gas for further water treatment downstream.

[0053] Example 3, reference Figure 1 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that a steam drum 500 is connected to the top of the gasifier 100 , and one end of the steam drum 500 is connected to the rotary separator 201 .

[0054] The steam drum 500 can collect the steam generated by the gasifier 100 and form a steam-water cycle with the gasifier 100, that is, the steam drum 500 collects the steam generated in the gasifier 100 and passes it into the rotary separator 201 to merge with the synthesis gas, and cools the synthesis gas by steam. At the same time, it can absorb dust in the synthesis gas while cooling it, thereby improving the dust removal efficiency; and the drum is also connected to an auxiliary steam manifold to recover excess steam.

[0055] The remaining structure is the same as that of Example 2.

[0056] Additionally, in order to provide a concise description of exemplary embodiments, all features of an actual embodiment may not be described (ie, those features that are not relevant to the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out the invention or those features that are not relevant to implementing the invention).

[0057] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
