Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ultra-pure ammonia production, and in particular relates to a system and method for treating ammonia-containing tail gas in ultra-pure ammonia production. Background Art

[0002] The main processes for producing soda ash include the combined soda process, the ammonia soda process and the natural soda process. The combined soda process adopts the concentrated gas alkali production process. The process is described as carbon dioxide reacts with ammonia, salt and water in a carbonization tower to generate a slurry of sodium bicarbonate and ammonium chloride, which is then filtered and calcined to produce soda ash. The filtrate is cooled and salted out to produce ammonium chloride, which is then dried to produce dry ammonium. The raw materials are NaCl (wet salt), NH3 (liquid ammonia), H2O, and CO2 (gas). The process has one salt addition, two ammonia absorption, one carbonization, and the mother liquor system is circulated to form a ring reaction system. In the combined alkali process, single salt addition means that in the entire circulation process, raw salt (NaCl) is only added at a specific step. This step usually occurs after the carbonization process and is used to generate ammonium chloride. Specifically, during the carbonization process, ammoniacal brine (obtained by further treatment of ammonia, water and carbon dioxide to generate ammonium carbonate) reacts with carbon dioxide to generate sodium bicarbonate precipitate and ammonium chloride. At this time, in order to replenish the chloride ions consumed in the generation of ammonium chloride, raw salt needs to be added to maintain the ion balance in the solution and ensure the continuation of the cycle. The two ammonia absorptions are a key step in the combined alkali process, which helps to optimize the reaction conditions and improve the purity and yield of the product. Specifically, the two ammonia absorptions are carried out in two different stages: the first ammonia absorption is before or during the carbonization process to add a part of ammonia to the mother liquor. The main purpose of this step is to increase the ammonia concentration in the mother liquor and provide sufficient ammonia source for the subsequent carbonization reaction. By increasing the ammonia concentration in the mother liquor, the formation of ammonium bicarbonate can be promoted, which is beneficial to the precipitation and precipitation of sodium bicarbonate. After the carbonization process is completed, the second ammonia absorption is to add ammonia to the mother liquor obtained by filtration and separation (which already contains ammonium chloride). The main purpose of this step is to supplement the ammonia consumed in the formation of ammonium chloride and adjust the ammonia concentration in the mother liquor to prepare for the subsequent circulation production. The second ammonia absorption can ensure that the ammonia concentration in the mother liquor is kept within an appropriate range, thereby ensuring the stability and efficiency of the entire circulation production.

[0003] The raw materials for the combined alkali process are CO2, NH3, NaCl, and H2O; the main reaction equation is: NaCl (liquid) + NH3 (liquid) + H2O (liquid) + CO2 (gas) = ​​NaHCO3 (solid) + NH4Cl (liquid); 2NaHCO3(solid)=Na2CO3(solid)+CO2(vapor)+H2O↑(vapor).

[0004] The combined alkali production process is generally equipped with a thermal power system for heating and power supply, a synthetic ammonia system for supplying raw gas CO2 (gas) and raw material NH3, and a vacuum salt production system for supplying raw material NaCl. Our company further extends the industrial chain by deep processing of raw material NH3, and further purifies the NH3 with a content of 99.9% in the component to produce electronic-grade ammonia with a raw material NH3 content of more than 99.99999%. Electronic-grade ultra-pure ammonia is an important raw material in optoelectronic and microelectronic fields such as semiconductor lighting, integrated circuits, flat panel display panels, and solar cells. In the process of producing solar cells and LED chips, ultra-pure ammonia is required as a nitrogen source. Especially in the growth process of LED chips, the higher the ammonia purity of the raw materials, the lower the power consumption and the greater the luminous intensity of the prepared LED. In addition, ultra-pure ammonia is also an important basic material for the preparation of gallium nitride (GAN) using MOCVD technology. As an important material for the third-generation semiconductors, gallium nitride has a wide range of scenarios. 7N electronic grade ultra-pure ammonia is also widely used in optoelectronic fields such as liquid crystal display (LCD) and organic electric laser display (OLED). Its quality directly affects the optical and electrical properties of the material and even the service life of the device. It is an important link in the development of the industrial chain.

[0005] The existing ultra-pure ammonia tail gas treatment process: the ammonia-containing tail gas first enters the first tail gas absorption tower and is sprayed and absorbed by the circulating pump. The high-concentration (below 20%) ammonia water is pumped into the ammonia water storage tank by the circulating ammonia water pump and transported to the alkali ammonia water tank by the delivery pump; the ammonia that is not completely absorbed is absorbed by the second tail gas absorption tower. The tower function is designed as a packing and spraying grouping and grading type. The ammonia-containing tail gas is first fully contacted and absorbed with the tower bottom liquid phase, and then enters the first-level packing functional section. The first-level circulation spray is carried out by the circulating liquid, so that the gas-liquid two-phase is fully contacted for the third time, and through continuous circulation absorption, the low-concentration ammonia water (below 5%) is transported to the first tail gas absorption tower as make-up water by the circulating ammonia water pump; the waste gas after multiple treatments enters the second-level packing desalted water spraying functional section, and then the waste gas is subjected to a more sufficient gas-liquid two-phase contact reaction, while effectively suppressing the volatilization of ammonia water, and the tail gas of the absorption tower is discharged from the exhaust pipe in compliance with the standards.

[0006] The main problem with the above-mentioned ammonia-containing tail gas treatment process is that the two tail gas absorption towers in series are cooled by circulating water to promote the absorption of ammonia tail gas. The absorption of ammonia by water in the tail gas treatment system is an exothermic reaction, and 87.8 kcal (Note: 1kcal=4.17kJ) of solution heat will be released for every 1kg of ammonia absorbed. Therefore, this part of the heat must be transferred in time during the treatment process, and the ammonia absorption temperature must be controlled according to the equilibrium curve of water absorption of ammonia to ensure the efficient reaction of ammonia and water so that the ammonia water reaches the target concentration; in the current tail gas circulation washing and absorption process, circulating water is used to transfer this part of the solution heat through a shell and tube heat exchanger to produce ammonia water with a concentration of 20% for desulfurization and denitrification in thermal power plants. The tail gas treatment system requires that the ammonia content in the exhaust gas discharged after the tail gas is treated can meet the national emission standards. According to the emission standard for odor pollutants (GB 14554-93), the emission standard for ammonia organized emission chimneys is ≤4.9kg / h when the height is 15m. However, the tail gas treatment system has a high circulating water temperature and poor heat exchange effect in summer operation, and the treatment capacity of the two tail gas absorption towers decreases. This requires reducing the treatment intensity of the ammonia absorption tower and increasing the intensity of the heat exchange process to ensure that various indicators during operation meet the process requirements, which will greatly increase the energy consumption of the tail gas treatment system and there is a risk of excessive ammonia content in the tail gas. Summary of the invention

The specific type of ammonia source is determined according to what kind of ammonia-containing tail gas is produced in the production process.

[0027] The evaporated gas ammonia in the high-pressure buffer tank 1 is transported to the ammonia condenser 8, and the condensed liquid ammonia generated after being cooled by the refrigerant is returned to the high-pressure buffer tank 1 through the condensed liquid ammonia return pipe 11. The ammonia condenser gas ammonia produced after the ammonia condenser 8 is depressurized is transported to the low-pressure buffer tank 15 through the ammonia condenser gas ammonia to low-pressure buffer tank pipe 14 to participate in the ammonia separation process.

[0028] The liquid ammonia 12 separated and produced by the high-pressure buffer tank 1 and the low-pressure buffer tank 15 is pumped to the external cooler of the crystallization process of the alkali plant as the refrigerant of the crystallization system, and can also be used as an ammonia source in the alkali plant system or the ultra-pure ammonia system.

[0029] The atmospheric pressure low-pressure buffer tank gas ammonia 22 produced by the low-pressure buffer tank 15 is pressurized by the ammonia induced draft fan 23 and enters the jet ammonia absorber 26 together with the gas ammonia produced by the external cooling system of the crystallization process for ammonia absorption reaction.

According to the material balance diagram of the combined alkali process (such as Figure 3 As shown in Table 1, the mother II ammonia absorption capacity is basically consistent with the actual production situation. Using the material balance diagram data of 210.4kg / t, the mother II ammonia absorption capacity of the domestic minimum alkali-solvent system is 52,600 tons / year, and its gaseous ammonia demand far exceeds the possible output of any ultra-pure ammonia production system in China, and is fully capable of processing the ammonia tail gas produced by the ultra-pure ammonia device system.

[0031] Table 1 Material balance of combined alkali process:

[0032] .

[0033] The following are the operating data of our factory in June, July and August 2024 to illustrate the technical effects of the implementation of the present invention; among them, June and July are the production data before the implementation of the ammonia-containing exhaust gas treatment system of the present invention, and August is the production data after the implementation of the ammonia-containing exhaust gas treatment system of the present invention. By comparison, it can be seen that significant economic benefits have been generated after the implementation of the treatment system of the present invention.

[0034] 1In June 2024, it ran for 24 days, with raw ammonia of 344.61t, ultra-pure ammonia output of 234.42t, organized tail gas emission volume of 5.52t, residual liquid industrial ammonia volume of 57.08t, and 20% ammonia water volume (already converted according to the raw ammonia concentration): 47.59t. The residual liquid industrial ammonia has too many impurities in the light and heavy components discharged from the system and can no longer be returned to the system as raw ammonia. It is sent to the thermal power plant together with the prepared 20% ammonia water and the 20% ammonia water from the tail gas treatment part for use in ammonia-based desulfurization and denitrification, with a power consumption of 1372.63KWH / T.

[0035] It ran for 31 days in July 2024, with raw ammonia of 309.38t, ultra-pure ammonia output of 231.29t, organized tail gas emission volume of 3.89t, residual liquid industrial ammonia volume of 36.74t, and 20% ammonia water volume converted according to the raw ammonia concentration of 37.46t. Among them, the residual liquid industrial ammonia has too many impurities in the light and heavy components discharged from the system and can no longer be returned to the system as raw ammonia for use. It is sent to the thermal power plant together with the prepared 20% ammonia water and the 20% ammonia water of the tail gas treatment part for use in ammonia-based desulfurization and denitrification, with a power consumption of 1069.11KWH / T.

[0036] 32024 August operation for 31 days, raw ammonia: 396.69t, ultra-pure ammonia output: 341.98t, organized tail gas emission volume: 0t, residual liquid industrial ammonia volume: 54.71t. After debugging, the gaseous ammonia is directly sent by the ammonia induced draft fan 23 to the jet ammonia absorber of the crystallization process of the alkali plant for ammonia absorption, and the residual liquid industrial ammonia is directly sent to the alkali crystallization process as cold ammonia for system cooling, with a power consumption of 1033.11KWH / T.

[0037] According to the operating conditions of the above three months, the output rate of ultra-pure ammonia was 68.02% in June, 74.76% in July, and 86.21% in August. After the implementation of the present invention, the output rate of ultra-pure ammonia was significantly improved, and no ammonia water was produced. The double-tower absorption and ammonia water preparation system stopped operating, and the electricity consumption of the entire ultra-pure ammonia production system decreased from 1372.63 KWH / T in June to 1033.11 KWH / T in August.

[0038] According to the operating results under different loads provided by the test and production operation data in August 2023, the ultra-pure ammonia products produced are qualified (as shown in Table 2), and their overall quality is better than the group standard T∕CCGA 30001-2019, meeting user needs and having stable quality.

[0039] Table 2 Ultrapure ammonia product testing data:

[0040] .

[0041] According to the on-site measurement data report number: LTJ24014-3 of the third-party company Jiangsu Blue Sky Environmental Testing Technology Co., Ltd. on July 30, 2024, the emission rates are 0.018kg / h, 0.020kg / h, and 0.017kg / h. The emission rate of the organized ammonia-containing tail gas emission outlet is reduced from 0.018kg / h before implementation to 0kg / h after implementation ("Emission Standards for Odor Pollutants" (GB14554-1993≦0.6kg / h, emission outlet height 15m). Calculated based on the annual operation of the ultra-pure ammonia production system for 8,000 hours, the tail gas emission recovery alone can achieve an ammonia emission reduction of 144Kg / a in the ultra-pure ammonia system.

[0042] The ultra-pure ammonia production system of the present invention can also achieve "zero emission" of ammonia tail gas without the need to add an additional tail gas treatment system. There is no more discharge of odorous pollutants such as ammonia, and the traditional double-tower water washing system for preparing ammonia water is difficult to control in summer operation and the subsequent sale of ammonia water. There is no need to explore the process conditions for combining other uses in the factory. On the basis of controlling a reasonable ultra-pure ammonia yield, the workload of the ammonia condenser 8 can be reduced to reduce the power consumption of the refrigerant circulation system to achieve energy saving. In addition, the double-tower absorption system for preparing ammonia water for sale or self-use adopted in the industry has been eliminated.

[0043] The above are preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
