Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical environmental protection, and in particular relates to the application of a low-temperature SCR desulfurization technology in a cement production device using carbide slag. Background Art

[0002] The original NOx concentration of the flue gas from the existing carbide slag cement production plant is ≤800mg / Nm 3 (dry basis, 10% O2), denitrification adopts SNCR process, and the reducing agent is 20% concentration of ammonia water. There are 6 ammonia water spray guns, which are arranged in two layers (120°) in an alternating manner: the upper layer is located at the root of the gooseneck tube of the main tube of the decomposition furnace, and the lower layer is located in the upper middle part of the decomposition furnace. Under the current operating conditions, the ammonia spraying volume is 350-500L / h, and the NOx emission value is 180~230mg / Nm 3 (dry basis, 10% O2), the amount of ammonia water used is about 4.36kg / ton clinker.

[0003] However, due to the complexity and particularity of the flue gas produced by carbide slag cement making and the limitations of the layout of the transformation equipment, it is difficult to control the pollutants in the flue gas produced by carbide slag cement making (mainly nitrogen oxides and ammonia escape) and control the flue gas stability.

[0004] The difficulty of ultra-low emission transformation of carbide slag cement production line is reflected in:

[0005] (I) The flue gas from cement production with carbide slag has the characteristics of complex composition and large fluctuation in content, which has strict requirements on control process technology and is difficult to control (for example, in addition to conventional pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter, the flue gas also contains special components such as silane, monocyanamide, dicyandiamide, phosphine, and arsine. These flue gas components all have certain reducing properties, and some of them are relatively strong, such as SiH4, PH3, etc., which will compete with the original reducing agent (NH3) for adsorption, thereby partially replacing NH3 to participate in the reaction; in addition, some components will cause catalyst poisoning, such as heavy metals (As, Pt, Pb, etc.), alkali (alkaline earth) metals (Na, K, Ca, Mg), and sulfides and chlorides in the flue gas, which are easy to poison the catalyst, thereby causing the catalyst to deactivate, shorten the life of its chemical properties, and even lose reaction efficiency.

[0006] (II) The flue gas from cement made from carbide slag has the characteristics of high ammonia peak and large peak-to-valley difference, making it difficult to meet the ammonia escape standard. During the drying process, carbide slag releases a large amount of ammonia, ranging from tens of milligrams per cubic meter to hundreds of milligrams per cubic meter, and there will be large fluctuations when the load, process formula, etc. are adjusted. These "passive ammonia" make it extremely difficult to meet the ammonia escape standard.

[0007] (III) The flue gas humidity of cement made from carbide slag is high, which has a great impact on denitrification. The humidity of dry carbide slag flue gas is about 14-19%, and the humidity of wet carbide slag flue gas is about 25-35%. The high humidity in the flue gas causes water vapor to occupy the active sites of the catalyst, resulting in a decrease in the activity of the catalyst, thus affecting the denitrification efficiency and making denitrification difficult.

[0008] (IV) Limitations in the selection of locations for transformation equipment. Due to the large differences in the production process of carbide slag cement and traditional limestone cement, some ultra-low emission transformation technologies applicable to limestone cement are not applicable to carbide slag cement production lines. For example, the exhaust gas temperature at port C1 of carbide slag cement is high (480°C to 580°C), which can easily cause the denitration catalyst to harden quickly and lose denitration efficiency. Therefore, port C1 is not suitable for arranging denitration equipment; and waste heat boilers or high-temperature fans are not suitable for arrangement because they cannot solve the ammonia released during the drying process of carbide slag. Therefore, excluding the above-mentioned unsuitable transformation locations, only by arranging between the exhaust dust removal and the exhaust draft fan can both nitrogen oxides and ammonia escape be able to meet the emission standards. Therefore, there are very few optional locations, and the process conditions and technical requirements for the arrangement location are stringent. Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of the problems of excessive flue gas at the kiln tail and environmental protection management in the existing carbide slag cement production equipment, the present invention provides an application of low-temperature SCR desulfurization technology in the carbide slag cement production equipment, which solves the technical problem of SCR ultra-low emission transformation of the carbide slag cement production line.

[0010] The technical solution of the present invention is: application of a low-temperature SCR destocking technology in a carbide slag cement production device, and the process is as follows:

[0011] 1. Nitrogen oxides synergistic control of ammonia escape technology

[0012] The SCR low-temperature denitration process is used to selectively react the nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the flue gas with the reducing agent under the action of the catalyst. The nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the flue gas are converted into nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) through the reducing agent (NH3).

[0013] The main reaction equation is as follows:

[0014] 4NH3+4NO+O2→4N2+6H2O (1)

[0015] 4NH3+2NO+2O2→3N2+6H2O (2)

[0016] 4NH3+6NO→5N2+6H2O (3)

[0017] 8NH3+6NO2→7N2+12H2O (4)

[0018] 2. Low temperature SCR denitrification technology

[0019] Low-temperature SCR technology uses a reducing agent, NH3, to reduce NOx in flue gas to N2 and H2O under the action of a low-temperature catalyst in a temperature window of 150 to 180°C. The main reaction equation is the same as above. The core of low-temperature SCR denitrification technology is the development of low-temperature catalysts and the design of their active components. Low-temperature catalysts are required to have high activity and good resistance to water, sulfur, and alkali metals under a temperature window of 150 to 180°C. After more than ten years of hard work, the Shanghai Hanyu R&D team broke the structure of traditional denitrification catalysts, established a new acidic site and active site structure, and developed an ultra-low temperature SCR denitrification catalyst with rare earth composite transition metals as active components. It has the above characteristics and meets the needs of this project.

[0020] The low-temperature SCR reactor is arranged between the large bag filter and the tail exhaust fan. The flue gas does not need to be heated, and the flue gas passing through the reactor has the characteristics of low temperature, low sulfur and low dust. The denitrification reaction system consists of inlet and outlet flues, guide plates, ammonia spraying grids, rake soot blowers and catalysts. The escaped ammonia from the upstream SNCR or the ammonia released by drying the calcium carbide slag enters the reactor as a reducing agent through the inlet flue, guide plates, and ammonia spraying grids. A catalytic reduction reaction occurs in the low-temperature SCR reactor to efficiently remove NOx from the flue gas.

[0021] 3. Technical indicators

[0022] NOx concentration ≤50mg / Nm 3 (Dry basis, 10% O2).

[0023] 4. Process

[0024] The flue gas is introduced into the ascending flue from the outlet of the dust collector at the tail of the carbide slag cement kiln, and enters the SCR reactor through the equalizing device. Under the pulling force generated by the exhaust draft fan, the flue gas that meets the pollutant standards is discharged into the atmosphere through the chimney.

[0025] Comparison table of energy consumption (heat energy) and carbon emissions of SCR denitrification at different temperatures

[0026]

[0027] The present invention has the following remarkable effects:

[0028] (I) Economic benefits. The SCR denitrification system uses ammonia released by drying carbide slag as a reducing agent, saving about RMB 7 million in ammonia purchase costs annually; after the transformation, it reaches Class A emission standards and can enjoy peak-shifting exemptions according to the policy. Calculated at 30 days per year, it can increase clinker production by 7,500 tons and increase output value by about RMB 20 million.

[0029] (II) Environmental benefits. Enterprises should not only focus on economic benefits, but also shoulder social responsibilities. As we all know, nitrogen oxides are the culprit of environmental pollution such as smog, acid rain, ozone layer depletion, and global warming. Therefore, nitrogen oxides are the most important pollutants that need to be solved urgently. After adopting SCR low-temperature and low-dust technology for ultra-low emission transformation, nitrogen oxide emissions will be reduced by more than 620,000 tons, making a real and outstanding contribution to improving the environment.

[0030] (III) Operation and maintenance benefits. There is no production equipment behind the low-temperature SCR system, and it will not affect the production equipment at the front end, so it will not interfere with the operation of the production line and has good operation stability; the device is arranged after the dust collector, the dust content is extremely low, the catalyst has no risk of wear, blockage, or poisoning, and the catalyst has a relatively long service life.

[0031] (IV) Energy-saving benefits. Low-temperature and low-dust SCR technology uses the remaining heat of the flue gas itself to reduce emissions. No heating or supplementary heat is required during operation, and there is no problem of energy consumption or waste. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] The core of low-temperature SCR denitration technology is the development of low-temperature catalysts and the design of their active components, which requires low-temperature catalysts to have high activity and good resistance to water, sulfur and alkali metals under the working condition of the temperature window of 150-180°C. After more than ten years of hard work, the Shanghai Hanyu R&D team broke the structure of traditional denitration catalysts, established a new acid site and active site structure, and developed an ultra-low temperature SCR denitration catalyst with rare earth composite transition metals as active components.

The escaped ammonia from the upstream SNCR or the ammonia released by drying the calcium carbide slag enters the reactor as a reducing agent through the inlet flue, guide plates and ammonia spraying grids. A catalytic reduction reaction occurs in the low-temperature SCR reactor to efficiently remove NOx from the flue gas.
