Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of tail gas treatment, and particularly relates to a device and method for treating tail gas of an ammonia oxidation reaction. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ammonia oxidation reaction is an important route for synthesizing nitrile chemicals such as acrylonitrile and isophthalonitrile, but the reaction tail gas contains excessive NH3 in the reaction raw materials and HCN and CO2 generated by the side reaction, which is difficult to treat. If it is directly discharged into the plant-wide waste gas treatment system, a large amount of NH3 will be lost, resulting in low raw material utilization and increased production cost. In the existing NH3 recovery process, CO2 cannot be removed to recover high-purity NH3, which limits the recycling and reuse of the recovered NH3 to some extent. At the same time, due to the high toxicity of HCN, the emission standard is strict. If electrolysis or hydrogen peroxide oxidation is used to break HCN, on the one hand, the fixed investment of equipment is high, and on the other hand, the decomposition reaction will occur during the hydrogen peroxide oxidation process to generate O2, increasing the risk of system combustion and explosion.

[0003] CN101491747A discloses a method for treating isophthalonitrile production waste gas, comprising the following steps:

[0004] (1) The waste gas from the isophthalonitrile production line first enters a pretreater to remove impurities therein: (2) enters a heat exchanger: (3) enters a catalytic combustion furnace for low-temperature catalytic combustion, and hydrogen cyanide is selectively oxidized by the catalyst into non-toxic nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water, and ammonia is retained: (4) the waste gas after decyanation enters a heat exchanger to preheat the waste gas to be treated, and itself is cooled: (5) enters a water cooler to be cooled to normal temperature, and the cooled decyanation ammonia-containing waste gas is introduced into an ammonia absorption tower, ammonia is absorbed by the sprayed sulfuric acid solution at the top, and ammonium sulfate is generated and recovered, thereby completing the treatment of the isophthalonitrile production waste gas. This method uses combustion method to remove hydrogen cyanide, which has high energy consumption and high investment, and cannot effectively remove CO2 to recover high-purity ammonia.

[0005] CN112439302A discloses a tail gas treatment method in a propylene nitrile production system, comprising the following steps: a. The tail gas generated in the propylene nitrile production system is sent to an absorption tower for absorption treatment after being washed or cooled and separated; b. The tail gas after absorption by the absorption tower is discharged to a tail gas treatment device for tail gas treatment, and the tower kettle liquid in the absorption tower is pumped to a recovery tower as rich water to further desorb propylene nitrile, hydrocyanic acid and acetonitrile; c. The tower kettle liquid in the recovery tower is pumped to the absorption tower as poor water to further absorb propylene nitrile and other organic substances. This method washes and absorbs the ammonia in the tail gas, but does not deeply treat the CO2 and HCN contained therein, resulting in a large amount of impurities in the recovered ammonia-containing solution, which cannot be effectively utilized.

[0006] In summary, how to provide a safe and effective removal of ammonia oxidation reaction tail gas of CO2 and HCN, and recovery of high purity NH3 processing method become the current urgent technical problems. SUMMARY

The selection of the above values is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the respective value range are also applicable.

[0041] Preferably, the other substances include any one or a combination of at least two of CO, H2O, N2, O2, mononitrile organic compounds or dinitrile organic compounds.

[0042] In the present application, the mononitrile organic compounds include acrylonitrile, benzonitrile or m-tolunitrile, etc.; and the dinitrile organic compounds include m-phthalonitrile, etc.

[0044] Preferably, the absorbent used in the absorption tower in step (1) includes water.

[0045] In the present application, the main body of the absorbent is water, and the content of water is not less than 98wt%. However, since a part of the wastewater in the ammonia evaporation unit will return to the absorption unit for use as an absorbent, the absorbent will also include, but is not limited to, at least one of CO2, NH3, mononitrile organic compounds or dinitrile organic compounds.

[0046] Preferably, under standard conditions, the volume ratio of the ammonia oxidation reaction tail gas to the absorbent is (20-2500):1, 20:1, 50:1, 100:1, 200:1, 300:1, 4001, 500:1, 600:1, 800:1, 1000:1, 1500:1, 2000:1 or 2500:1 and the like, but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the value range are also applicable.

[0051] In the present application, the operating pressure of the CO2-HCN removal tower is particularly important for the removal effect of CO2 and HCN. If the pressure is too low, HCN cannot be fully hydrolyzed and removed; if the pressure is too high, the CO2-HCN removal effect will be poor, and the operating temperature needs to be correspondingly increased to achieve the ideal removal effect, but this will also significantly increase energy consumption and unnecessarily increase equipment investment.

[0052] The reaction equation of HCN hydrolysis is as follows:

[0053] HCN + 2H2O → HCOOH + NH3

[0054] Preferably, the operating temperature of the tower kettle of the CO2-HCN removal tower in step (2) is ≥110℃, for example 110℃, 120℃, 150℃, 170℃, 190℃, 200℃, 210℃, or 220℃, etc., but not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the range are also applicable.

[0056] Preferably, after the column bottom liquid in step (2) is filtered, the content of HCN is ≤1ppm, such as 0.1ppm, 0.2ppm, 0.5ppm, 0.8ppm or 1ppm, etc. The selection of the above values is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the respective value range are also applicable.

[0058] In the present application, the operating pressure of the ammonia stripping column has an important influence on the purity of the recovered ammonia gas. If the operating pressure is too low, it will result in a decrease in the purity of the ammonia gas recovered at the top of the column; if the operating pressure is too high, it will result in unnecessary increases in energy consumption and equipment investment costs.

[0059] Preferably, the temperature of the condensation in step (3) is 30-50℃, such as 30℃, 35℃, 40℃, 45℃ or 50℃, etc., but not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the value range are also applicable.

[0060] In the present application, the condensation temperature needs to be controlled. If the temperature is too high, it will result in a decrease in the purity of ammonia in the gas phase; if the temperature is too low, it will result in unnecessary increases in energy consumption and equipment investment costs.

[0061] Preferably, the reflux ratio of the aqueous phase reflux in step (3) is 1-10, such as 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 or 10, etc., but not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the value range are also applicable.

[0062] In the present application, in order to ensure the purity of the recovered ammonia gas, the reflux ratio of the ammonia stripping tower also needs to be controlled. If the reflux ratio is too low, the purity of the ammonia gas collected at the top of the tower will be reduced; if the reflux ratio is too high, the energy consumption and the unnecessary increase in equipment investment cost will be caused.

[0063] Preferably, the ammonia gas obtained in step (3) is reused in the ammonia oxidation reaction unit, and the purity is ≥ 99wt%, such as 99wt%, 99.1wt%, 99.2wt%, 99.3wt%, 99.4wt%, 99.5wt% or 99.6wt%, etc., but not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed in the range are also applicable.

[0064] Preferably, the ammonia content in the wastewater obtained from the tower bottom of step (3) is ≤ 100ppm, such as 10ppm, 20ppm, 30ppm, 40ppm, 50ppm, 60ppm, 70ppm, 80ppm, 90ppm or 00ppm, etc., but not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed in the range are also applicable.

[0065] Preferably, the second part of the wastewater in the wastewater obtained from the tower bottom of step (3) accounts for 10-30wt% of the total, such as 10wt%, 15wt%, 20wt%, 25wt% or 30wt%, etc., but not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed in the range are also applicable.

[0066] In the present application, a part of the wastewater obtained from the tower bottom of the ammonia stripping tower is returned to the CO2-HCN removal tower, which can effectively reduce the content of ammonia in the gas phase at the top of the CO2-HCN removal tower, but the amount of return needs to be controlled. If the amount of return is too small, the content of ammonia in the gas phase at the top will increase, thereby causing the loss of ammonia to increase; if the amount of return is too large, in order to ensure the removal effect of CO2 and HCN, the energy consumption of the tower will increase significantly.

[0067] In addition, in the wastewater obtained from the tower bottom of step (3), the first part of the wastewater accounts for 8-20wt% of the total, and the third part accounts for 10-80wt% of the total wastewater.

[0068] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0069] (1) The treatment device of the present application is designed to solve the problem of difficult treatment of NH3 and HCN in process tail gas, and combines an absorption unit and an ammonia stripping unit to design a removal unit integrating HCN decomposition and CO2 removal, and the energy is integrated through the cross heat exchange of cold and hot streams. On the basis of safely and efficiently treating the tail gas, the energy consumption of the device is greatly reduced, and the investment cost is low.

[0070] (2) The processing method described in this invention has a simple process flow and can recover NH3 in the tail gas of ammonia oxidation reaction with high purity, improve the utilization rate of raw materials for ammonia oxidation reaction, reduce tail gas emissions, and has good economic benefits.
