Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomass utilization technology, specifically relating to a furfural plant slag exhaust gas treatment device and a slag exhaust gas treatment method. Background Technology

[0002] Furfural is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H4O2. It is a colorless, transparent, oily liquid with a distinctive odor similar to benzaldehyde. It is mainly used as an industrial solvent and can also be used to produce furfuryl alcohol, furoic acid, tetrahydrofuran, γ-valerolactone, pyrrole, tetrahydropyrrole, etc.

[0003] The raw materials for furfural production are mainly agricultural waste such as corn cobs and rice husks. After pretreatment such as drying and crushing, furfural products are obtained through processes such as hydrolysis extraction under acid and distillation separation. The process mainly includes raw material preparation, hydrolysis extraction, and furfural refining. The aldehyde vapor generated by the hydrolysis reaction is condensed to form a stock solution, which is then concentrated to produce crude furfural. Crude furfural contains components such as water, methanol, acetone, formic acid, acetic acid, and 5-methylfurfural. Through initial distillation, removal of light components, neutralization and deacidification, dehydration, and refining, high-quality furfural products are obtained. Energy conservation and environmental protection factors must also be considered during the production process to ensure sustainable development.

[0004] In the existing process, the tail gas treatment method in furfural production is as follows: After hydrolysis, the pressure in the hydrolysis reactor is reduced to 0.2-0.5 MPa, the bottom discharge valve is opened, and the solid material is discharged to the slag room under gas pressure for steam-slag separation. The separated slag is conveyed to the boiler for use as fuel, and the separated gas is stored in the gas collection chamber. Then, the gas undergoes a series of treatments such as condensation, alkali washing, water washing, and dehumidification. Finally, it is extracted by an induced draft fan and sent to activated carbon adsorption and photocatalytic decomposition treatment before being discharged at a high level through the chimney.

[0005] Problems with existing processes:

[0006] 1) Large investment: It requires the construction of a slag house with a capacity of several thousand cubic meters as a gas-slag separation chamber, as well as exhaust gas treatment facilities.

[0007] 2) High difficulty in sealing the slag room: When slag is discharged, a large amount of gas will leak due to the positive pressure inside the slag room, causing environmental pollution.

[0008] 3) High difficulty in exhaust gas treatment: Because the slag discharge is intermittent, the pressure inside the slag chamber will fluctuate. When the pressure is high, the gas inside the chamber will leak outward, and when the pressure is low, external air will enter, which will increase the difficulty of treatment.

[0009] 4) Environmental protection facilities have complex processes, many pieces of equipment, large investments, and high maintenance costs.

[0010] 5) Poor performance: In the entire furfural production unit, the exhaust gas from the slag room accounts for 90% of the emissions. The composition is complex and the treatment is difficult. Currently used methods such as activated carbon adsorption and photocatalytic decomposition cannot meet the process requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Preferably, a flash tower (8) and a second gas-liquid separator (17) are provided on one side of the absorption tower (6). The first liquid inlet of the flash tower (8) is connected to the second liquid outlet of the bottom storage tank of the absorption tower (6) through a pipeline.

[0020] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for treating exhaust gas from a furfural-based slag discharge unit, comprising:

[0021] Step S1: After hydrolysis in the hydrolysis vessel is complete, reduce the pressure in the hydrolysis vessel to 0.06–0.5 MPa and start the hydrolysis process.

[0022] The bottom discharge valve of the reactor discharges solid material into the steam-slag separator (1) under the pressure of gas. The solid material in the steam-slag separator (1) is separated into steam and slag under a pressure of -0.001MPa to 0.1MPa. The gas separated by the steam-slag separator (1) is discharged from the top of the steam-slag separator (1), washed by the steam scrubber (4), and then transported to the absorption tower (6).

[0023] Step S2: The gas from the gas scrubber (4) enters the absorption tower (6) from the bottom and comes into countercurrent contact with the spray water at the top of the absorption tower (6). Most of the gas is absorbed by the spray water, and a small amount of non-condensable gas is discharged from the top of the absorption tower (6).

[0024] Step S3: The slag entrained in the gas from the gas scrubber (4) is removed after being washed by the spray water in the absorption tower (6). When the slag content washed down from the spray water reaches a certain level (solid content 0.1% to 3%), it is pressurized by the filter press pump (14) and transported to the filter press (15) to remove the slag from the spray water. The slag is used as biofuel in the boiler, and the purified water is returned to the bottom storage tank of the absorption tower (6) for recycling. When the liquid level in the bottom storage tank of the absorption tower (6) is high, the water discharge regulating valve (22) is opened to send the water to the sewage treatment plant.

[0025] Preferably, in step S1: the slag separated by the steam slag separator (1) is discharged through the bottom screw conveyor (2) of the steam slag separator (1), the screw conveyor (2) is equipped with a cooling device, and then is sent to the boiler by the belt conveyor (3) for use as fuel;

[0026] In step S2: the water in the storage tank at the bottom of the absorption tower (6) is pressurized by the circulating main pump (12) and then sprayed out evenly through the liquid phase distributor at the top of the absorption tower (6);

[0027] In step S3: When the liquid level in the bottom storage tank of the absorption tower (6) is high, close the water regulating valve (21) and open the water discharge regulating valve (22) to discharge the excess water to the sewage treatment plant.

[0028] Preferably, step S4 is also included:

[0029] Step S4: Water vapor, methanol vapor, acetone vapor, and furfural vapor entrained in the gas from the steam scrubber (4) are washed and absorbed by the spray water in the absorption tower (6). The temperature of the spray water will rise, and it will be pressurized by the circulating auxiliary pump (13), cooled by the cooler (11), and then returned to the absorption tower (6) for recycling. After the furfural and other components in the spray water reach a concentration of 0.5% to 5% by the sampling port (23) of the absorption tower (6), the flash tower (8) is put into operation. The vacuum regulating valve (19) and the reflux valve (20) are opened, and the mixture of furfural, vapor, methanol, acetone and other components is flashed out at a pressure of -0.05 to -0.01 MPa. The flash vapor is discharged from the exhaust end of the flash tower (8), condensed by the second condenser (9), and enters the second gas-liquid separator (17). The uncondensed vapor after separation is transported to the vacuum system through the vacuum regulating valve (19), and the condensate is separated in the water-aldehyde separator.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0057] Example 2

[0058] A method for treating the exhaust gas from a furfural unit based on the exhaust gas treatment device of Embodiment 1 includes:

[0059] Step S1: After hydrolysis in the hydrolysis vessel is complete, reduce the pressure in the hydrolysis vessel to P1 (in this embodiment, P1 is 0.06).

[0060] With a pressure of ~0.5MPa), the bottom discharge valve of the hydrolysis vessel is opened, and the solid material is discharged to the steam-slag separator 1 under the pressure of gas. The solid material in the steam-slag separator 1 is separated into steam and slag under a pressure of P2 (P2 is -0.001MPa to 0.1MPa in this embodiment). The slag separated by the steam-slag separator 1 is discharged through the bottom screw conveyor 2 of the steam-slag separator 1 and sent to the boiler for use as fuel by the belt conveyor 3. The gas separated by the steam-slag separator 1 is discharged from the top of the steam-slag separator 1. The main components of the gas are: water vapor, furfural vapor, methanol vapor, acetone vapor, etc. The gas is washed by the steam scrubber 4 and then sent to the absorption tower 6.

[0061] Step S2: Gas from the gas scrubber 4 enters the absorption tower 6 from the bottom and reacts with the gas in the absorption tower 6.

[0062] The top spray water contacts in a counter-current manner, where most of the water vapor, methanol vapor, acetone vapor, furfural vapor, and other gases are absorbed; a small amount of non-condensable vapor is discharged from the top of the absorption tower 6, condensed by the first condenser 16, and then separated by the first gas-liquid separator 10.

[0063] Step S3: The slag entrained in the gas from the steam scrubber 4 is removed after being washed by spray water in the absorption tower 6.

[0064] When the slag content in the spray water reaches a certain level (solid content 0.1% to 3%), it is pressurized by the filter press pump 14 and then transported to the filter press 15 to remove the slag from the spray water. The slag is used as biofuel in the boiler, and the purified water is returned to the storage tank of the absorption tower 6 for recycling. When the liquid level in the storage tank of the absorption tower 6 is high, the water regulating valve 21 is closed and the water discharge regulating valve 22 is opened to discharge the excess water to the sewage treatment plant.

After separation, the uncondensed steam is sent to the vacuum system through the vacuum regulating valve 19, and the condensate is separated in the water-aldehyde separator. The high-temperature water that absorbs the steam in the absorption tower 6 is pressurized by the circulating auxiliary pump 13 and cooled by the cooler 11 before returning to the absorption tower 6 for recycling.

The bottom discharge valve of the hydrolysis vessel is opened, and the solid material is discharged to the steam-slag separator (1) under the pressure of the gas. The solid material in the steam-slag separator (1) is separated into steam and slag under a pressure of -0.001 MPa to 0.1 MPa. The gas separated by the steam-slag separator (1) is discharged from the top of the steam-slag separator (1), washed by the steam scrubber (4), and then transported to the absorption tower (6). Step S2: The gas from the steam scrubber (4) enters the absorption tower (6) from the bottom and comes into countercurrent contact with the spray water at the top of the absorption tower (6). Most of the gas is absorbed by the spray water, and a small amount of non-condensable gas is discharged from the top of the absorption tower (6). After being condensed by the first condenser (16) and separated by the first gas-liquid separator (10), the non-condensable gas is sent to the tail gas treatment system by the induced draft fan (7) for treatment. The condensate in the first gas-liquid separator (10) flows back to the storage tank at the bottom of the absorption tower (6). Step S3: The slag entrained in the gas from the gas scrubber (4) is removed after being washed by the spray water in the absorption tower (6). When the slag content washed down from the spray water reaches a certain level, it is pressurized by the filter press pump (14) and transported to the filter press (15) to remove the slag from the spray water. The slag is used as biofuel in the boiler. The purified water is returned to the bottom storage tank of the absorption tower (6) for recycling. When the liquid level in the bottom storage tank of the absorption tower (6) is high, the water discharge regulating valve (22) is opened to send the water to the sewage treatment plant.
