Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the preparation of sodium bicarbonate and ammonium sulfate, and in particular to a method and system for preparing sodium bicarbonate and ammonium sulfate by using low-temperature sodium sulfate. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of economic development and industrialization, the amount of industrial water and high-salt wastewater is increasing day by day. The amount of high-salt wastewater in the steel, petrochemical, coal chemical, printing and dyeing, dairy products, mining and other industries is particularly considerable. The composition of wastewater is gradually increasing, and the concentration is gradually increasing. At present, the quality separation and crystallization technology and resource utilization of high-salt wastewater have received extensive attention. Among them, nanofiltration separation, evaporation crystallization, cooling crystallization and other technologies have been maturely applied. After treatment, sodium sulfate and sodium chloride crystals are finally crystallized, and the purity of the dry product can reach more than 98.5%, with high yield and high quality.

[0003] The chlor-alkali industry uses sodium chloride as the main raw material to produce hydrogen, chlorine, caustic soda and other chemical products, and has achieved high-value resource utilization of industrial-grade sodium chloride; however, there are still relatively few ways to utilize industrial-grade sodium sulfate. The industrial-grade sodium sulfate obtained by enterprises from salt separation is piled up in large quantities and has poor sales. The price of industrial-grade sodium sulfate is relatively low, and the certification indicators and certification methods of its crystal products lack relevant standards, which hinders its true resource utilization as a commodity.

[0004] At present, my country's chemical metallurgical industry uses a large amount of sulfuric acid and sodium alkali, producing a large amount of waste sodium sulfate, with an annual production of more than 10 million tons. At present, only a small amount is used to produce sodium sulfate and sodium sulfide, with limited consumption capacity and a large amount of sodium sulfate stored. In order to solve the problem of resource utilization of waste sodium sulfate, domestic and foreign researchers have done a lot of work, but have not been able to make a breakthrough. At present, the use of sodium sulfate to make soda ash has always been the key research direction of the soda ash industry, and it is also an effective way to alleviate the pressure of by-product sodium sulfate storage. The method of preparing sodium bicarbonate and ammonium sulfate by double decomposition reaction of sodium sulfate and ammonium bicarbonate is the most ideal, but the bottleneck of this technology is that the conversion rate of sodium sulfate and ammonium bicarbonate is only 50-60%. After the precipitation of sodium bicarbonate, the phase point of the solution system is in the crystallization zone of sodium sulfate or complex salt, and high-purity ammonium sulfate cannot be obtained. Foreign researchers have adopted the technical route of twice freezing-high-temperature ammonia evaporation to prepare ammonium sulfate. The process is stable, but the energy consumption is high and the industrialization is difficult. After the expansion test, it stagnated. Summary of the invention

[0079] In this embodiment, the sodium bicarbonate mother liquor obtained in step (2) is pumped to the salting-out crystallizer 3, and then the low-temperature mirabilite slurry is added thereto for uniform mixing, reaction and crystallization, and the upper clear liquid and the lower crystal slurry are collected through the first upper outlet and the first lower outlet, respectively.

[0080] The lower layer of crystal slurry is pumped to a thickener for thickening, and the thickened slurry enters a sodium ammonia solid salt centrifuge 301 for centrifugation to obtain sodium ammonia solid salt, which enters a sodium ammonium salt crystallizer 4 in the next step, and the thickened slurry has a solid-liquid ratio of 30wt%. The upper clear liquid of the salting-out crystallizer 3 enters a sodium ammonium solid salt clarification tank for clarification to obtain a first clarified liquid, and the first clarified liquid is sent to a sodium sulfate slurry tank 1 in step (1) as a solvent for mixing with sodium sulfate for slurrying. The bicarbonate contained in the first clarified liquid is used in step (2) to prepare sodium bicarbonate, thereby improving the utilization rate of the bicarbonate.

[0081] The centrifugal mother liquor produced by the sodium ammonia solid salt centrifuge 301 is collected in the sodium ammonia solid salt centrifugal mother liquor tank, and the liquid separated by the thickener is also collected in the sodium ammonia solid salt centrifugal mother liquor tank, and then sent back to the salting-out crystallizer 3, and the treatment is repeated to precipitate sodium ammonium solid salt. The solid precipitate produced by the clarification separation is also returned to the salting-out crystallizer 3, and the recovery rate of sodium ammonium solid salt is improved by multi-stage reflux.

[0082] The reaction time in the salting-out crystallizer 3 is 6-12 hours, the reaction temperature is 25-35°C, the mass ratio of the sodium bicarbonate mother liquor to the low-temperature mirabilite slurry is 1:(0.8-1.2), and in this embodiment, the reaction time is 8 hours, the reaction temperature is 25°C, and the mass is 1:1. If the mass ratio of the sodium bicarbonate mother liquor to the low-temperature mirabilite slurry is less than 1:0.8, the ammonium salt separation will not be complete, so that the ammonium sodium salt content in the centrifuged mother liquor of the sodium ammonia solid salt is too high, which will affect the reaction in the salting-out crystallizer 3 when it returns; if the mass ratio of the sodium bicarbonate mother liquor to the low-temperature mirabilite slurry is greater than 1:1.2, it is necessary to add an excessive amount of low-temperature mirabilite slurry, resulting in a large load on the back-end process, in which sodium sulfate is an invalid cycle, wasting energy consumption.

[0083] (4) Sodium ammonia solid hydrochloride crystallization

[0084] The solid sodium ammonia salt obtained in step (3) is acidified and heated. Due to the different solubilities of the two salts, sodium sulfate in the solution is precipitated after the temperature is raised, while ammonium sulfate is not precipitated, thereby obtaining sodium sulfate crystals. The upper clear liquid and the lower crystal slurry are collected separately, and the lower crystal slurry is subjected to solid-liquid separation to obtain sodium sulfate solid. The sodium sulfate solid is continuously returned to step (1) to prepare low-temperature mirabilite slurry;

[0085] In this embodiment, this step is carried out in a Glauber's salt crystallizer 4, which includes a primary crystallizer and a secondary crystallizer. The sodium ammonia solid salt and water obtained in step (3) are added to the primary crystallizer and mixed evenly. The mass ratio of the sodium ammonia solid salt to the water is (3-4):1. Then, concentrated sulfuric acid with a concentration of 98wt% is added to adjust the pH to 3-5, and the temperature is raised to 80-90°C. In this embodiment, the mass ratio is 3:1, the pH is 3, the temperature is raised to 80°C, and the crystal slurry is crystallized in the secondary crystallizer. The lower crystal slurry and the upper clear liquid are collected respectively. The lower crystal slurry enters the Glauber's salt centrifuge 401 for centrifugation to obtain sodium sulfate solid. The sodium sulfate solid is collected and returned to the sodium sulfate silo of step (1) for preparing low-temperature Glauber's salt slurry; the centrifugal mother liquor generated by the centrifugation is collected in a sodium sulfate centrifugal filtrate storage tank and returned to the secondary crystallizer.

[0086] The supernatant enters a sodium sulfate clarification tank for clarification to obtain a solid precipitate and a second clarified liquid. The solid precipitate mainly includes sodium sulfate, which is returned to the secondary crystallizer. The second clarified liquid enters step (5).

[0087] (5) Vacuum flash crystallization

[0088] The supernatant in step (4) is cooled and crystallized, and the supernatant and the lower crystal slurry are collected respectively, and the lower crystal slurry is subjected to solid-liquid separation to obtain ammonium sodium solid salt, and the process is returned to step (3);

[0089] In this embodiment, the cooling crystallization device 5 is a vacuum flash crystallizer, which realizes crystallization by flash cooling. The vacuum flash crystallizer includes a primary flash tank, a secondary flash tank and a tertiary flash tank. The second clarified liquid is added to the primary flash tank, flash cooled, and then pumped to the secondary flash tank through the transfer material. After the secondary flash cooling, the material is transferred to the tertiary flash tank through the transfer material, and the temperature is flashed to 20-30 ° C for three times. In this embodiment, the temperature is reduced to 25 ° C, and crystals are precipitated. The lower layer crystal slurry and the upper layer clear liquid of the third-stage flash tank are collected, and the lower layer crystal slurry is taken out and pumped to a thickener for thickening to obtain a thickened slurry with a solid-liquid ratio of 30wt%. The thickened slurry is added to a cooling centrifuge 501 for centrifugation to obtain ammonium sodium solid salt and its centrifugal mother liquor, and the ammonium sodium solid salt is returned to step (4) and combined with the ammonium sodium solid salt of step (3) for treatment. The centrifugal mother liquor and the overflow liquid of the thickener are collected in a cooling centrifugal filtrate storage tank and returned to the third-stage flash tank.

[0090] The supernatant collected in this step enters a cooling clarification tank for clarification to obtain a third clarified liquid and a solid precipitate. The third clarified liquid enters step (6), and the solid precipitate returns to the third-stage flash tank.

[0091] (6) Preparation of ammonium sulfate

[0092] The third clarified liquid obtained in step (5) is evaporated and crystallized to obtain ammonium sulfate crystals, and the upper clear liquid and the lower crystal slurry are collected separately. The lower crystal slurry is subjected to solid-liquid separation to obtain ammonium sulfate solid salt, which is then dried to obtain an ammonium sulfate product.

[0093] In this embodiment, the evaporation crystallizer 6 adopts an MVR evaporation crystallizer. After the third clarified liquid of step (5) is preheated by a preheater, it is added to the MVR evaporation crystallizer for evaporation crystallization, and the lower layer crystal slurry and the upper layer clear liquid produced by the evaporation crystallization are collected. The lower layer crystal slurry is added to a thickener for thickening to obtain a thickened slurry with a solid-liquid ratio of 35wt%. The thickened slurry is added to an ammonium sulfate centrifuge 601 to produce ammonium sulfate solid salt. After drying by an ammonium sulfate drying device 602, a finished ammonium sulfate product is obtained, which is packaged by an ammonium sulfate ton bag packaging machine and transported to a product warehouse for storage and standby use. The centrifuge produced by the ammonium sulfate centrifuge 601 and the liquid overflowing from the thickener are collected in an ammonium sulfate centrifuge tank and returned to the MVR evaporation crystallizer.

[0094] The supernatant produced by evaporation and crystallization is added to the ammonium sulfate clarification tank for clarification to obtain the fourth clarified liquid and solid precipitate. The fourth clarified liquid is collected and returned to the primary flash tank to reduce the ammonium sodium solid salt content therein, and the solid precipitate is returned to the MVR evaporation crystallizer.
