Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to control and adjustment of the activated carbon circulation amount of an adsorption tower, and in particular to a method for optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount, and belongs to the technical field of activated carbon flue gas purification. Background Art

[0002] The activated carbon flue gas purification process has many advantages. At present, the two-stage flue gas purification process has been widely used in the field of sintering flue gas treatment, but there are also many problems. For example, the desulfurization of activated carbon mainly relies on micropores and surface functional groups, and the denitrification mainly relies on the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of activated carbon. The dust is mainly composed of sintering original dust and carbon powder. Among them, the desulfurization, denitrification and dust removal capabilities are closely related to the activated carbon circulation volume. The larger the activated carbon circulation volume, the stronger the desulfurization and denitrification capabilities, but the dust removal capacity is weakened. For the currently common two-stage activated carbon process or activated carbon + SCR process, the activated carbon circulation volume is mainly determined by the desulfurization capacity. When the SO2 concentration at the outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than 35mg / Nm 3 When the denitrification efficiency is reduced, it can remain unaffected and reach about 80%.

[0003] The current control logic of activated carbon circulation is relatively extensive. As described above, the circulation volume is adjusted by controlling the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the first-level tower. On the one hand, due to the high content of activated carbon in the system, the activated carbon has a very strong adsorption capacity for SO2 compared to other pollutants, so the hysteresis is very obvious. For example, when the outlet SO2 exceeds the standard, it means that the activated carbon circulation volume has been reduced for a long time. It takes a long time to restore the operating state in the system to the best. On the other hand, the activated carbon system is divided into three layers: front, middle and back. The adsorption rate of SO2 in flue gas by activated carbon at different layers is also very different. For example, the SO2 concentration in the flue gas facing the front layer is high, the residence time is short, the adsorption rate is fast, the middle layer rate is slow, and the rear layer is the slowest. Third, due to the large amount of activated carbon loaded in the adsorption tower, there is no independent space between the front, middle and rear chambers, and there are no flue gas detection conditions. Therefore, it is difficult to adjust the corresponding activated carbon residence time by the flue gas concentration in the front, middle and rear chambers.

[0004] There are the following rules for activated carbon in the process of running from top to bottom. Take the front chamber as an example. The activated carbon at the top has a well-developed pore structure, rich surface functional groups, and excellent desulfurization performance. The activated carbon in the middle has already adsorbed some SO2, the pores are blocked, and the rate of adsorption of SO2 slows down. The activated carbon at the bottom has already adsorbed a large amount of SO2, and its ability to adsorb SO2 in the gas again is the slowest. Therefore, the SO2 concentration at the front chamber outlet is getting higher and higher from top to bottom. Similarly, the same rules apply to the middle and rear chamber outlets, and when the inlet flue gas volume is consistent with the SO2 concentration, the pollutant concentration at the front chamber outlet is related to the feeding speed of the activated carbon in the front chamber, the pollutant concentration at the middle chamber outlet is related to the feeding speed of the front chamber and the feeding speed of the middle chamber, and the pollutant concentration at the rear chamber outlet is related to the feeding speed of the front chamber, the feeding speed of the middle chamber, and the feeding speed of the rear chamber. In theory, any change in the feeding speed of each chamber will affect the change in the outlet SO2 concentration.

[0005] The denitrification efficiency of activated carbon is closely related to the SO2 concentration. When the SO2 concentration is high, part of the added NH3 will react with SO2 to generate corresponding sulfate, which will affect the denitrification efficiency. When the SO2 concentration at the entrance of the secondary tower is lower than 35mg / Nm 3 At the same time, according to laboratory research, the denitrification efficiency is not closely related to the activated carbon circulation volume, so the activated carbon circulation volume can meet the desulfurization requirements. Therefore, this application aims to solve the problem of how to optimize the activated carbon circulation volume while meeting the desulfurization requirements of the first-level tower. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention proposes a method for optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount. According to the characteristic law of activated carbon desulfurization, the method establishes the activated carbon adsorption rate equation of the relationship between the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower and the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber, and based on the activated carbon desulfurization, denitrification and dust removal mechanism, on the premise of ensuring the desulfurization efficiency of the desulfurization tower, the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers at different SO2 concentrations at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower is obtained, thereby optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount and guiding the operation of the project.

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for optimizing the amount of activated carbon circulation is provided.

[0008] A method for optimizing the amount of activated carbon circulation, the method comprising the following steps:

[0009] 1) According to the activated carbon adsorption rate curve of the desulfurization tower, an activated carbon adsorption rate model is established.

[0010] 2) According to the direction of flue gas, the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is divided into front chamber, middle chamber and rear chamber, the model constants are input, the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower is set, and the desulfurization process of the activated carbon in each chamber is simulated.

[0011] 3) Obtain the activated carbon feeding rate in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower so that the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is within the set range, thereby optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount.

[0012] In the present invention, in step 1), the establishment of the activated carbon adsorption rate model specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0013] 101) According to the variation law of SO2 concentration ratio between the inlet and outlet of the desulfurization tower flue gas over time, the rate of SO2 adsorption by activated carbon is divided into three stages: the first stage is a fast constant rate stage, the second stage is an exponential stage, and the third stage is a slow constant rate stage.

[0014] 102) Based on the variation pattern of the amount of SO2 adsorbed by activated carbon over time during the desulfurization process, draw an activated carbon adsorption rate curve.

[0015] 103) Based on the characteristic that the rate of activated carbon adsorption of SO2 in the first stage and the third stage is constant in sub-step 101), combined with the activated carbon adsorption rate curve in sub-step 102), an activated carbon adsorption rate equation is constructed.

[0016] 104) The activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is divided into grids, and the activated carbon adsorption rate equation in sub-step 103) is applied to each grid in turn according to the direction of the flue gas.

[0017] In the present invention, in step 2), the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is divided into a front chamber, a middle chamber, and a rear chamber, the activated carbon feed rate of the front chamber is V1, the activated carbon feed rate of the middle chamber is V2, and the activated carbon feed rate of the rear chamber is V3. Among them, V1:V2:V3=(5.5-6.5):(1.5-2.5):1, preferably V1:V2:V3=(5.7-6.3):(1.8-2.2):1.

[0018] In the present invention, in sub-step 103), the activated carbon adsorption rate equation is:

[0019]

[0020] Where: Q is the adsorption capacity of activated carbon, mg / g. t is the residence time of activated carbon in the desulfurization tower, h. α is the correction term. C is the SO2 concentration in the flue gas, mg / m 3 l is the reaction order of the SO2 elementary reaction to produce sulfuric acid. Ea is the activation energy of activated carbon, kJ / mol. R is the gas constant, J / (mol·K). T is the flue gas temperature, K. K1 is the adsorption rate of SO2 in the first stage of sulfuric acid accumulation process in the activated carbon adsorption rate curve, h -1K2 is the adsorption rate of SO2 in the third stage of sulfuric acid accumulation process in the activated carbon adsorption rate curve, h -1 Qs is the apparent saturated adsorption capacity of activated carbon for SO2, mg / g.

[0021] In the present invention, sub-step 104) is specifically as follows: the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is divided into grids, the height of the activated carbon bed is divided into m grids, the width of the activated carbon bed is divided into n grids, the activated carbon adsorption rate equation is applied to each grid in turn, and the adsorption amount and SO2 concentration of each grid are iteratively calculated according to the activated carbon adsorption rate equation. Among them, the activated carbon adsorption amount Q[0, j] of the top grid of the desulfurization tower is 0, and the SO2 concentration C[i, 0] of the grid at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower is C0. That is:

[0022] Q[i,j]=Q[i-1,j]+dQ[i,j]...(2).

[0023] dt=(h / m) / v…(3).

[0024] C[i,j]=C[i,j-1]-dC[i,j]...(4).

[0025] In the formula: Q[i, j] represents the adsorption amount of the grid corresponding to the position of the i-th grid in the height direction of the activated carbon bed and the j-th grid in the width direction, and dQ[i, j] represents the newly added adsorption amount of activated carbon in the current grid. C[i, j] represents the SO2 concentration of the grid corresponding to the position of the i-th grid in the height direction of the activated carbon bed and the j-th grid in the width direction, and dC[i, j] represents the reduced SO2 concentration under the adsorption of activated carbon in the current grid. Among them, i≤m, j≤n. dt represents the residence time of activated carbon in the current grid. h is the height of the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower. v is the activated carbon feeding speed at the corresponding position in the desulfurization tower. C0 is the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower.

[0026] In the present invention, in step 3), the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower is detected online, and the activated carbon feeding speeds of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower are calculated by the activated carbon adsorption rate equation according to the proportional relationship between the activated carbon feeding speeds of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower. The activated carbon feeding speeds of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower are adjusted so that the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 .

[0027] Where: C 设 It is the upper limit of SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower. 设 ≤35mg / Nm 3 .

[0028] In the present invention, the activated carbon feeding speed in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower is adjusted so that the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 Specifically:

[0029] 301) According to the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower, combined with the proportional relationship of the activated carbon feeding speed in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower, and the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 With this as the goal, the activated carbon feeding rates in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower were preliminarily optimized by calculating the activated carbon adsorption rate equation.

[0030] 302) According to the calculated initial optimized activated carbon feeding speed in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower, calculate the initial SO2 concentration C at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower at the corresponding activated carbon feeding speed 初 . Compare the initial SO2 concentration C 初 and SO2 concentration upper limit C 设 .

[0031] 302a) If the initial SO2 concentration is C 初 <C 设 , record the current activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber, then slightly reduce the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower that is initially optimized, calculate the adjusted SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower according to the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber after adjustment, and compare the adjusted SO2 concentration with the upper limit of SO2 concentration C 设 Repeat this step until the calculated SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is ≥C 设 At this time, the last recorded activated carbon feeding rate in each chamber is the optimal feeding rate, thereby determining the optimal circulation amount of activated carbon.

[0032] In the present invention, step 302) also includes:

[0033] 302b) If the initial SO2 concentration is C 初 ≥C 设 , slightly increase the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers of the initially optimized desulfurization tower, and then record the current activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber. According to the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber after adjustment, calculate the adjusted SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower, and compare the adjusted SO2 concentration with the upper limit of SO2 concentration C 设 Repeat this step until the calculated SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 At this time, the last recorded activated carbon feeding rate in each chamber is the optimal feeding rate, thereby determining the optimal circulation amount of activated carbon.

[0034] In the present invention, in step 2), the model constants include: the thickness of the front chamber, the thickness of the middle chamber, the thickness of the rear chamber of the desulfurization tower, and the height and width of the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower.

[0035] In the current common two-stage activated carbon process, the activated carbon circulation volume is mainly determined by the desulfurization capacity. When the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the first-stage adsorption tower is less than 35 mg / Nm 3 , the denitrification efficiency of the secondary adsorption tower can be unaffected and reach about 80%. However, the current activated carbon circulation control logic is relatively extensive. Due to the large amount of activated carbon loaded in the adsorption tower, there is no independent space between the front, middle and rear chambers, and there are no flue gas detection conditions. Therefore, the activated carbon circulation amount is often adjusted by detecting and controlling the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the primary tower (i.e., the desulfurization tower), and the hysteresis is obvious. According to laboratory research, the denitrification efficiency is not closely related to the activated carbon circulation amount, so the activated carbon circulation amount can meet the desulfurization requirements. Based on this, the present invention proposes a method for optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount, which aims to solve the problem of how to optimize the activated carbon circulation amount while meeting the desulfurization requirements of the primary tower. In the scheme of the present invention, according to the characteristic law of activated carbon desulfurization, an activated carbon adsorption rate equation is established which shows the relationship between the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower and the activated carbon feeding rate of each chamber. Based on the mechanism of activated carbon desulfurization, denitrification and dust removal, and on the premise of ensuring the desulfurization efficiency of the desulfurization tower, the activated carbon feeding rates in the front, middle and rear chambers at different SO2 concentrations at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower are obtained, thereby optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount and guiding the operation of the project.

[0036] The method for optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount of the present invention mainly comprises the following steps:

[0037] 1) According to the activated carbon adsorption rate curve of the desulfurization tower, an activated carbon adsorption rate model is established.

[0038] 101) Figure 4 As shown, according to the variation pattern of SO2 concentration ratio at flue gas inlet and outlet of desulfurization tower over time, activated carbon desulfurization, i.e. the rate of activated carbon adsorption of SO2, can be divided into three stages. The first stage is a fast constant rate stage, the second stage is an exponential stage, and the third stage is a slow constant rate stage.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, according to the variation pattern of SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower over time, it can be seen that with the extension of time, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon for SO2 gradually tends to saturation, the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet gradually increases, and after a long time, the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet increases slowly.

[0040] 102) Figure 6 As shown, according to the change pattern of the amount of SO2 adsorbed by activated carbon over time during the desulfurization process, the activated carbon adsorption rate curve is drawn.

[0041] Through experimental research, the amount of SO2 adsorbed by activated carbon changes with time in the form of a curve, that is, the rate curve of SO2 adsorption by activated carbon is obtained. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, in the initial stage, the SO2 concentration in the flue gas is high, the pore structure of the activated carbon is well developed, and the rate of SO2 adsorption by the activated carbon is maintained at a fast average value. At the end of the reaction, due to the adsorption of the activated carbon, the SO2 concentration in the flue gas decreases. After the activated carbon adsorbs part of the SO2, the pores are blocked, and the adsorption rate slows down, basically maintaining a relatively slow average value. From the activated carbon adsorption rate curve, it can be seen that as the adsorption time increases, the amount of SO2 adsorbed by the activated carbon gradually increases, and the adsorption amount increases slowly after a long time.

[0042] 103) Based on the characteristic that the rate of activated carbon adsorbing SO2 in the first and third stages is constant in sub-step 101), combined with the activated carbon adsorption rate curve in sub-step 102), an activated carbon adsorption rate equation is constructed:

[0043]

[0044] In formula (1): Q is the adsorption capacity of activated carbon, mg / g. t is the residence time of activated carbon in the desulfurization tower, h. α is the correction term. C is the SO2 concentration in the flue gas, mg / m 3 l is the reaction order of the SO2 elementary reaction to produce sulfuric acid. Ea is the activation energy of activated carbon, kJ / mol. R is the gas constant, J / (mol·K). T is the flue gas temperature, K. K1 is the adsorption rate of SO2 in the first stage of sulfuric acid accumulation process in the activated carbon adsorption rate curve, h -1 K2 is the adsorption rate of SO2 in the third stage of sulfuric acid accumulation process in the activated carbon adsorption rate curve, h -1 Qs is the apparent saturated adsorption capacity of activated carbon for SO2, mg / g.

[0045] When the SO2 concentration in the sintering flue gas is 200-1000ppm, the moisture content is 10-12%, and the oxygen content is 15-17%, the reaction order of SO2 is calculated to be l=0.8, the correction term α=0.22, and K1=7.2h -1 , K2=0.008h -1 .

[0046] 104) The activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is divided into grids, and the activated carbon adsorption rate equation in sub-step 103) is applied to each grid in turn according to the direction of the flue gas.

[0047] The grid division described here can be understood as establishing a coordinate system on the activated carbon bed of the desulfurization tower, dividing the height and width of the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower into grids respectively, and then applying the activated carbon adsorption rate equation to each grid in turn according to the direction of the flue gas, so that the adsorption amount of each grid, SO2 concentration, etc. can be iteratively calculated through software or computer program according to the equation.

[0048] Specifically, the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is divided into grids, the height of the activated carbon bed is divided into m grids, and the width of the activated carbon bed is divided into n grids. The activated carbon adsorption rate equation is applied to each grid in turn, and the adsorption amount and SO2 concentration of each grid are iteratively calculated according to the activated carbon adsorption rate equation. That is,

[0049] Q[i,j]=Q[i-1,j]+dQ[i,j]...(2).

[0050] dt=(h / m) / v…(3).

[0051] C[i,j]=C[i,j-1]-dC[i,j]...(4).

[0052] It is known that the activated carbon adsorption capacity Q[0, j] = 0 of the topmost grid of the desulfurization tower, and the adsorption capacity of activated carbon in any grid and the newly added adsorption capacity in the current grid can be obtained by iteratively calculating each grid from top to bottom using formula (2). It is known that the SO2 concentration C[i, 0] = C0 of the grid at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower, and the outlet SO2 concentration of any grid can be obtained by iteratively calculating each grid from the flue gas inlet to the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower using formula (4).

[0053] In formulas (2)-(4): Q[i, j] represents the adsorption amount of the grid corresponding to the position of the i-th grid in the height direction of the activated carbon bed and the j-th grid in the width direction, and dQ[i, j] represents the newly added adsorption amount of activated carbon in the current grid. C[i, j] represents the SO2 concentration of the grid corresponding to the position of the i-th grid in the height direction of the activated carbon bed and the j-th grid in the width direction, and dC[i, j] represents the reduced SO2 concentration under the adsorption of activated carbon in the current grid, and dC[i, j] can be converted by dQ[i, j]. Among them, i≤m, j≤n. dt represents the residence time of activated carbon in the current grid. h is the height of the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower. v is the activated carbon feeding speed at the corresponding position in the desulfurization tower. C0 is the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower.

[0054] When the present invention performs fitting calculations through the above activated carbon adsorption rate equation (1), the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is divided into multiple grids, and each grid is iteratively calculated in turn through software or computer programs. At this time, dQ can be understood as the newly added adsorption amount of activated carbon in the current grid, and dt can be understood as the residence time of activated carbon in the current grid. The division of the grid has completed the spatial positioning of different positions in the desulfurization tower, and formula (3) shows that the residence time of activated carbon in the corresponding grid is related to the discharge speed of activated carbon at the corresponding position. Therefore, through the residence time of activated carbon in the corresponding grid, the division of the grid, and the iterative calculation between each grid, the relationship between the parameters in the above equation (1) and the structural data of the desulfurization tower (including the height, width, total thickness, thickness of each layer, etc. of the desulfurization tower) and the discharge speed of each layer of activated carbon is reflected.

[0055] For any grid in the activated carbon bed, as long as the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower, the flue gas temperature, the activated carbon feeding speed in the front chamber and other inlet parameters are given, the outlet parameters of the first grid can be calculated through the above activated carbon adsorption rate equation (1), and the outlet parameters of the grid become the inlet parameters of the next grid, and then the outlet parameters of any grid can be obtained by iterative calculation through software or computer program. In the present invention, the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers is an unknown quantity, which is a parameter that needs to be obtained and optimized. At this time, based on the flue gas direction, when the upper limit of the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower (i.e., the outlet parameter of the last grid) is known, and the ratio of the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers is set according to experience, the calculation process of obtaining the outlet parameters of any grid is reversed, and the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber can be calculated, thereby optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount and guiding the operation of the actual project.

[0056] It should be noted that all formulas in the present invention are obtained by fitting by the inventor based on experiments and engineering applications, and all calculations are numerical values ​​converted according to prescribed units, and are obtained by substituting the numerical values ​​after conversion into the formulas (after conversion of the units, only the numerical values ​​are substituted into the formulas for calculation, without substituting the units, and the units are only used to adjust the size of the numerical values).

[0057] 2) According to the direction of flue gas, the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is divided into front chamber, middle chamber and rear chamber, the model constants are input, the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower is set, and the desulfurization process of the activated carbon in each chamber is simulated.

[0058] The present application divides the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower into three layers, namely the front, middle and rear chambers. Among them, the activated carbon feeding rate of the front chamber is V1, the activated carbon feeding rate of the middle chamber is V2, and the activated carbon feeding rate of the rear chamber is V3. According to laboratory research and engineering practice experience, under the thickness, height, width and other structures of each layer of activated carbon bed in the existing desulfurization tower, considering multiple factors such as the feeding uniformity and operation safety of each layer of activated carbon in the entire desulfurization tower, the activated carbon feeding rates of the front, middle and rear chambers meet a certain proportional relationship, for example, V1: V2: V3 = (5.5-6.5): (1.5-2.5): 1, preferably V1: V2: V3 = (5.7-6.3): (1.8-2.2): 1, specifically, V1: V2: V3 = 6: 2: 1.

[0059] The model constants described here include, for example, the thickness of the front chamber, the middle chamber, and the rear chamber of the desulfurization tower, and the height and width of the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower. The subsequent desulfurization simulation and related parameter calculation of each layer of activated carbon are all based on the input model constants.

[0060] 3) Obtain the activated carbon feeding rate in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower so that the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is within the set range, thereby optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount.

[0061] The SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower is detected online. The activated carbon feeding speeds in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower are calculated iteratively through software or computer programs according to the activated carbon adsorption rate equation, combined with the proportional relationship between the activated carbon feeding speeds in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower. The activated carbon feeding speeds in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower are adjusted so that the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 . Among them: C 设 It is the upper limit of SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower. 设 ≤35mg / Nm 3 .

[0062] In the above-mentioned calculation process of simulated desulfurization, the relevant parameters detected online (such as the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower, etc.) are the actual engineering parameters. This application is based on the existing actual engineering parameters to simulate and experimentally study the desulfurization process of the desulfurization tower, so as to obtain the activated carbon feeding rate of each chamber under different SO2 concentration conditions at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower, and make the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower meet the control standard without affecting the denitrification efficiency of the subsequent denitrification tower, thereby realizing the control and optimization of the activated carbon circulation amount in the activated carbon flue gas purification process, and providing guidance for the operation of the actual project.

[0063] After obtaining the activated carbon feeding rate of each chamber with a certain degree of optimization with the goal of SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower meeting the control standard, the present application can further achieve in-depth optimization of the activated carbon circulation amount by (slightly) adjusting the activated carbon feeding rate of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower. The specific adjustment steps are as follows:

[0064] 301) According to the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower, combined with the proportional relationship of the activated carbon feeding speed in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower, and the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 With this as the goal, the activated carbon feeding rates in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower were preliminarily optimized by calculating the activated carbon adsorption rate equation.

[0065] 302) According to the calculated initial optimized activated carbon feeding speed in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower, calculate the initial SO2 concentration C at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower at the corresponding activated carbon feeding speed 初 . Compare the initial SO2 concentration C 初 and SO2 concentration upper limit C 设 .

[0066] 302a) If the initial SO2 concentration is C 初 <C 设 , record the current activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber, then slightly reduce the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower that is initially optimized, calculate the adjusted SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower according to the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber after adjustment, and compare the adjusted SO2 concentration with the upper limit of SO2 concentration C 设 Repeat this step until the calculated SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is ≥C 设 At this time, the last recorded activated carbon feeding rate in each chamber is the optimal feeding rate, thereby determining the optimal circulation amount of activated carbon.

[0067] 302b) If the initial SO2 concentration is C 初 ≥C 设 , slightly increase the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers of the initially optimized desulfurization tower, and then record the current activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber. According to the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber after adjustment, calculate the adjusted SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower, and compare the adjusted SO2 concentration with the upper limit of SO2 concentration C 设 Repeat this step until the calculated SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 At this time, the last recorded activated carbon feeding rate in each chamber is the optimal feeding rate, thereby determining the optimal circulation amount of activated carbon.

[0068] The activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber calculated in the above step 301) is the preliminary optimization result of the premise of ensuring the desulfurization efficiency of the desulfurization tower. Generally speaking, under the condition that the total concentration of pollutants at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower is kept constant, the smaller the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower, the greater the required activated carbon circulation amount. Therefore, the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber calculated in the above steps 302a) and 302b) is the optimal activated carbon feeding speed obtained by reducing the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers as much as possible under the condition of ensuring the desulfurization efficiency of the desulfurization tower, thereby obtaining the best activated carbon circulation amount.

[0069] Among them, the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower that is initially optimized is slightly adjusted (reduced or increased). The slight adjustment refers to fine-tuning the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber currently calculated by a certain smaller amplitude. The adjustment amplitude is not limited and can be selected in combination with actual engineering needs. For example, under the condition that the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers meets V1:V2:V3=6:2:1, the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers is adjusted by 0.018m / h, 0.006m / h and 0.003m / h respectively. By making this slight adjustment to the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber that is initially optimized, the minimum activated carbon circulation amount that meets the desulfurization control standard can be obtained in this process, that is, the investment cost can be reduced while ensuring the desulfurization efficiency.

[0070] It should be noted that the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower obtained in the preliminary optimization in step 301) is based on the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower being less than C 设 The target is calculated, but the present invention is based on the characteristic law of activated carbon desulfurization to simulate the desulfurization process of the desulfurization tower. Therefore, although it is the result calculated under this premise, the preliminary SO2 concentration C in step 302b) may still appear. 初 ≥C 设 situation.

[0071] In addition, during the laboratory research process, for the activated carbon adsorption rate equation constructed by the present invention, given the actual engineering parameters, including the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower, and the activated carbon feeding rates in the front, middle and rear chambers, the simulated value of the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower calculated by the activated carbon adsorption rate equation has a small deviation from the actual value of the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet detected by the SO2 concentration detection device. Therefore, it also shows that the activated carbon adsorption rate model constructed by the present invention has a high degree of fitting and a good fitting effect, and can truly realize the optimization of the activated carbon circulation amount, provide guidance for the operation of actual projects, and escort.

[0072] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0073] 1. The present invention establishes an activated carbon adsorption rate equation for the relationship between the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower and the activated carbon feeding rate of each chamber according to the characteristic law of activated carbon desulfurization through experimental research methods, and based on the activated carbon desulfurization, denitrification and dust removal mechanism, on the premise of ensuring the desulfurization efficiency of the desulfurization tower, obtains the activated carbon feeding rate of the front, middle and rear chambers at different SO2 concentrations at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower, thereby optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount and guiding the operation of the project.

[0090] 1) According to the activated carbon adsorption rate curve of the desulfurization tower, an activated carbon adsorption rate model is established. Specifically, it includes the following sub-steps:

[0091] 101) Figure 4 As shown, according to the variation pattern of SO2 concentration ratio at the inlet and outlet of the desulfurization tower flue gas over time, the rate of SO2 adsorption by activated carbon is divided into three stages. The first stage is a fast constant rate stage, the second stage is an exponential stage, and the third stage is a slow constant rate stage.

[0093] 103) Based on the characteristic that the rate of activated carbon adsorbing SO2 in the first and third stages is constant in sub-step 101), combined with the activated carbon adsorption rate curve in sub-step 102), an activated carbon adsorption rate equation is constructed:

[0094]

[0095] Where: Q is the adsorption capacity of activated carbon, mg / g. t is the residence time of activated carbon in the desulfurization tower, h. α is the correction term. C is the SO2 concentration in the flue gas, mg / m 3l is the reaction order of the SO2 elementary reaction to produce sulfuric acid. Ea is the activation energy of activated carbon, kJ / mol.

[0096] 104) The activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is divided into grids, and the activated carbon adsorption rate equation in sub-step 103) is applied to each grid in turn according to the direction of the flue gas. Specifically:

[0097] The activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is divided into grids, the height of the activated carbon bed is divided into m grids, and the width of the activated carbon bed is divided into n grids. The activated carbon adsorption rate equation is applied to each grid in turn, and the adsorption amount and SO2 concentration of each grid are iteratively calculated according to the activated carbon adsorption rate equation. Among them, the activated carbon adsorption amount Q[0, j] = 0 of the top grid of the desulfurization tower, and the SO2 concentration C[i, 0] = C0 of the grid at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower. That is:

[0098] Q[i,j]=Q[i-1,j]+dQ[i,j]...(2).

[0099] dt=(h / m) / v…(3).

C[i, j] represents the SO2 concentration of the grid corresponding to the position of the i-th grid in the height direction of the activated carbon bed and the j-th grid in the width direction, and dC[i, j] represents the reduced SO2 concentration under the adsorption of activated carbon in the current grid. Among them, i≤m, j≤n. dt represents the residence time of activated carbon in the current grid. h is the height of the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower. v is the activated carbon feeding speed at the corresponding position in the desulfurization tower. C0 is the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower.

[0102] 2) According to the direction of flue gas, the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is divided into front chamber, middle chamber and rear chamber. The model constants such as the thickness of the front chamber, middle chamber and rear chamber of the desulfurization tower, the height and width of the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower are input, the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower is set, and the desulfurization process of the activated carbon in each chamber is simulated.

[0103] The activated carbon feeding speed of the front chamber is V1, the activated carbon feeding speed of the middle chamber is V2, and the activated carbon feeding speed of the rear chamber is V3. V1:V2:V3=(5.5-6.5):(1.5-2.5):1.

[0104] 3) Obtain the activated carbon feeding speed in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower so that the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is within the set range, thereby optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount. Specifically:

[0105] The SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower is detected online. According to the proportional relationship between the activated carbon feeding speeds in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower, the activated carbon feeding speeds in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower are calculated by the activated carbon adsorption rate equation. The activated carbon feeding speeds in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower are adjusted so that the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 .

[0106] Where: C 设 It is the upper limit of SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower. 设 =35mg / Nm 3 .

[0107] Example 3

[0108] Example 2 was repeated, except that the activated carbon feed rates in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower were V1:V2:V3=(5.7-6.3):(1.8-2.2):1.

[0109] Example 4

[0110] like Figure 2 As shown, Example 2 is repeated, except that in step 3), the activated carbon feeding speed in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower is adjusted so that the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 Specifically:

[0111] 301) According to the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower, combined with the proportional relationship of the activated carbon feeding speed in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower, and the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 With this as the goal, the activated carbon feeding rates in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower were preliminarily optimized by calculating the activated carbon adsorption rate equation.

[0112] 302) According to the calculated initial optimized activated carbon feeding speed in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower, calculate the initial SO2 concentration C at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower at the corresponding activated carbon feeding speed 初 . Compare the initial SO2 concentration C 初 and SO2 concentration upper limit C 设 .

[0113] 302a) If the initial SO2 concentration is C 初 <C 设 , record the current activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber, then slightly reduce the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower that is initially optimized, calculate the adjusted SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower according to the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber after adjustment, and compare the adjusted SO2 concentration with the upper limit of SO2 concentration C 设 Repeat this step until the calculated SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is ≥C 设 At this time, the last recorded activated carbon feeding rate in each chamber is the optimal feeding rate, thereby determining the optimal circulation amount of activated carbon.

[0114] Example 5

[0115] like Figure 3 As shown, Example 4 is repeated, except that step 302) further includes:

[0116] 302b) If the initial SO2 concentration is C 初 ≥C 设 , slightly increase the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers of the initially optimized desulfurization tower, and then record the current activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber. According to the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber after adjustment, calculate the adjusted SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower, and compare the adjusted SO2 concentration with the upper limit of SO2 concentration C 设 Repeat this step until the calculated SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 At this time, the last recorded activated carbon feeding rate in each chamber is the optimal feeding rate, thereby determining the optimal circulation amount of activated carbon.

[0117] Application Example 1

[0118] The method for optimizing the activated carbon circulation amount described in Example 5 was used to treat the sintering flue gas of a steel smelter. In this method, the activated carbon adsorption rate equation is:

[0119]

[0120] The SO2 concentration in the sintering flue gas to be treated is 380ppm, the moisture content is 10%, and the oxygen content is 17%. Under this condition, the reaction order of SO2 is calculated to be l=0.8, the correction term α=0.22, and K1=7.2h -1 , K2=0.008h -1 .

[0121] Where: Q is the adsorption capacity of activated carbon, mg / g. t is the residence time of activated carbon in the desulfurization tower, h. α is the correction term, α = 0.22. C is the SO2 concentration in the flue gas, C = 380ppm ≈ 1085.7mg / m 3 . l is the reaction order of the SO2 elementary reaction to produce sulfuric acid, l = 0.8. Ea is the activation energy of activated carbon, Ea = 0.89 kJ / mol. R is the gas constant, R = 8.314 J / (mol·K). T is the flue gas temperature, T = 413 K. K1 is the adsorption rate of SO2 in the first stage of sulfuric acid accumulation process in the activated carbon adsorption rate curve, K1 = 7.2 h -1 K2 is the adsorption rate of SO2 in the third stage of sulfuric acid accumulation process in the activated carbon adsorption rate curve, K2 = 0.008h -1 Qs is the apparent saturated adsorption capacity of activated carbon for SO2, Qs = 71 mg / g.

[0122] In this embodiment, the thickness of the front chamber of the desulfurization tower is L1 = 0.16m, the thickness of the middle chamber is L2 = 0.72m, and the thickness of the rear chamber is L3 = 0.72mm. The height of the activated carbon bed in the desulfurization tower is H = 24m, and the width is W = 9m.

[0123] Under the above desulfurization tower structure, the SO2 concentration at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower is divided into 10 intervals of 0-100ppm, 100-200ppm, ... 900-1000ppm, combined with the ratio of the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower V1:V2:V3 = 6:2:1, and the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is less than C 设 (C 设 =35mg / Nm 3 ) as the goal, the activated carbon adsorption rate equation is used to calculate the initial optimized activated carbon feeding rate in each chamber within the corresponding inlet SO2 concentration range, and the optimized strategy table of activated carbon feeding rate is drawn. The strategy table is as follows:

[0124]

[0125] In this embodiment, the SO2 concentration C0=380ppm at the flue gas inlet of the desulfurization tower is detected online. According to the above-mentioned optimization strategy table of activated carbon feeding rate, the preliminary optimized activated carbon feeding rates of each chamber of the desulfurization tower are: V1=0.33m / h, V2=0.11m / h, V3=0.055m / h.

[0126] According to the calculated initial optimized activated carbon feeding speed in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower, calculate the initial SO2 concentration C at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower at the corresponding activated carbon feeding speed 初 =26.85mg / m 3 . Compare the initial SO2 concentration C初 and SO2 concentration upper limit C 设 , C 设 =35mg / Nm 3 .

[0127] Obviously, the initial SO2 concentration C 初 <C 设 , record the current activated carbon feeding speed V1, V2, V3 of each chamber, and then slightly reduce the activated carbon feeding speed of the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower according to the proportional relationship of the feeding speed of each chamber, that is, V1, V2, V3 are reduced by 0.018m / h, 0.006m / h, and 0.003m / h respectively on the original basis; according to the activated carbon feeding speed of each chamber after adjustment, calculate the adjusted SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower, and compare the adjusted SO2 concentration with the upper limit of SO2 concentration C 设 Repeat this step until the calculated SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower is ≥C 设 At this time, the last recorded activated carbon feeding speed in each chamber V1′=0.474m / h, V2′=0.158m / h, V3′=0.079m / h is the optimal feeding speed, thereby determining the optimal circulation amount of activated carbon.

[0128] The optimal activated carbon circulation rate is to minimize the activated carbon feeding rate in the front, middle and rear chambers of the desulfurization tower under the premise that the SO2 concentration at the flue gas outlet of the desulfurization tower meets the control standard, so as to obtain the minimum activated carbon circulation rate, that is, to reduce the investment cost while ensuring the desulfurization efficiency.
