Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of α-hemihydrate gypsum production technology, and more specifically to a dechlorination and upgrading system and control method for preparing α-type hemihydrate gypsum from industrial by-product gypsum. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial by-product gypsum is a byproduct of wet flue gas desulfurization technology used in boiler combustion systems and other applications. Its main component is calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O). Industrial by-product gypsum falls under the category of solid waste, and its disposal method is generally harmless landfilling. However, this method does not fully utilize the high concentration of calcium sulfate dihydrate in the desulfurization gypsum, and improper disposal can cause the leaching of trace elements from the industrial by-product gypsum, endangering soil and water resources and adversely affecting the flora and fauna surrounding the landfill site. Therefore, the resource utilization of desulfurization gypsum, this solid waste, is of positive significance for environmental protection and also helps to enhance its economic value.

[0003] Because industrial by-product gypsum contains a large amount of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·0.5H2O), preparing it as calcium sulfate hemihydrate is a common resource utilization method. However, current processes mainly produce β-hemihydrate gypsum (β-CaSO4·0.5H2O), which is primarily used in the construction industry, resulting in low economic value. Furthermore, the large amount of chloride ions in industrial by-product gypsum cannot be effectively removed, leading to insufficient product strength. Although some processes exist aimed at producing α-hemihydrate gypsum, these mainly rely on autoclaving, which also fails to effectively remove chloride ions, resulting in poor water absorption, whiteness, and strength, and failing to meet the demands of continuous industrial production. In addition, the current method for addressing the high chloride ion content in gypsum products is mostly water washing, which consumes a large amount of water and cannot remove chloride ions contained in the crystal lattice, thus resulting in low efficiency.

[0004] Hydrothermal treatment, which involves preparing industrial by-product gypsum into a slurry and reacting it in a high-temperature, high-pressure aqueous environment, can simultaneously produce α-hemihydrate gypsum and remove harmful substances such as chloride ions. This method shows great promise for the treatment of industrial by-product gypsum. However, in actual industrial operation, it is crucial to ensure temperature stability during the hydrothermal reaction, control the chloride ion removal process, and improve system economy through water circulation, pressure energy reuse, and heat recovery. Furthermore, if operational problems occur in the hydrothermal reaction system, causing it to operate outside its optimal range, it may result in substandard α-hemihydrate gypsum, incomplete chloride ion removal, increased system energy consumption, and decreased economic efficiency. Therefore, to improve the stability and economical operation of hydrothermal treatment of industrial by-product gypsum, a comprehensive control strategy is urgently needed to adapt to different industrial by-product gypsum raw materials, ensure the yield of finished gypsum, and address potential fluctuations in operating conditions and safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the above problems, this invention provides a dechlorination and upgrading system and control method for preparing α-type hemihydrate gypsum from industrial by-product gypsum. The system of this invention can operate stably and ensure the yield of finished gypsum products.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second chemical tank solenoid valve is provided between the circulating water treatment unit and the second chemical tank, and a sewage discharge solenoid valve is provided on the sedimentation tank.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an industrial water solenoid valve is provided between the cold side inlet of the heat exchanger and the industrial water inlet.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first steam solenoid valve is provided on the main steam outlet pipeline of the heating unit; a second steam solenoid valve is provided between the first outlet of the heating unit and the hydrothermal reaction device.

[0018] The second objective of this invention is to provide a control method for the dechlorination and upgrading system of the above-mentioned industrial by-product gypsum in the preparation of α-hemihydrate gypsum, comprising the following steps:

[0019] When the system starts up, water is injected into the mixing device through the industrial water solenoid valve. When the material level in the mixing device reaches the L1 value, the slurry pump is turned on to inject water into the hydrothermal reaction device. When the hydrothermal reaction device is full of water, the industrial water solenoid valve is closed to complete the water injection.

[0020] The value of L1 is 1 / 3 to 2 / 3 of the internal height of the regulating device.

[0021] Open the bypass solenoid valve, start the heating unit, the first steam solenoid valve and the second steam solenoid valve, heat the water in the hydrothermal reaction device until the temperature reaches the T1 value and the pressure reaches the P1 value, and the temperature in the high-temperature drying device reaches the T2 value, thus completing the heating and pressurization process of the hydrothermal reaction.

[0022] The value of T1 is 90℃~200℃, the value of T2 is 60℃~200℃, and the value of P1 is 0.1MPa~15MPa.

[0023] Turn on the feeder motor, reagent pump, first circulating water solenoid valve and third circulating water solenoid valve, adjust the fourth circulating water solenoid valve to the K value, turn on the circulating water pump, start the high temperature drying device and post-treatment device, and complete the system startup process.

[0024] The value of K is 0 to 50% of the valve opening.

[0025] The power of the feeder motor controlled by the first flow meter is proportionally constrained to the power of the third circulating water solenoid valve and the industrial water solenoid valve, so that the water content of the desulfurized gypsum slurry prepared by the mixing device is the value of FW1; the power of the feeder motor controlled by the first flow meter is proportionally constrained to the power of the reagent pump controlled by the second flow meter, so that the amount of crystal control agent added is the value of A1 of the desulfurized gypsum flow rate.

[0026] The value of FW1 is 30wt%~70wt%, and the value of A1 is 0.01wt%~10wt%.

[0027] If the pressure in the hydrothermal reactor is low, close the bypass solenoid valve and turn on the booster pump to give the slurry enough pressure to drive the mechanical extrusion dewatering device to rotate and dewater. If the pressure in the hydrothermal reactor returns to P1, open the bypass solenoid valve and turn off the booster power device.

[0028] The reaction temperature of the hydrothermal reactor is determined by comparing the temperature measurements of the first and second temperature measuring instruments. If the highest reaction temperature of the hydrothermal reactor is lower than T1, the opening of the first and second steam solenoid valves is increased to make the highest temperature in the hydrothermal reactor higher than T1. If the lowest reaction temperature of the hydrothermal reactor is higher than T1, the opening of the first and second steam solenoid valves is decreased to make the lowest temperature in the hydrothermal reactor lower than T1.

[0029] If the value of the moisture content meter is greater than the FW2 value, increase the opening of the first steam solenoid valve, increase the power of the heating unit, and increase the power of the feeder motor; if the value of the moisture content meter is less than the FW2 value, decrease the opening of the first steam solenoid valve, decrease the power of the heating unit, and decrease the power of the feeder motor.

[0030] The value of FW2 is 0.1wt%~10wt%.

[0031] If the chlorine content of the first chloride ion content detector is greater than the Cl1 value, open the industrial water solenoid valve and the second circulating water solenoid valve, close the first circulating water solenoid valve and the third circulating water solenoid valve, and adjust the fourth circulating water solenoid valve to its maximum opening. If the chlorine content of the first chloride ion content detector is lower than the Cl1 value, open the first circulating water solenoid valve and the third circulating water solenoid valve, close the industrial water solenoid valve and the second circulating water solenoid valve, and adjust the fourth circulating water solenoid valve until the third circulating water solenoid valve satisfies the aforementioned proportional constraint relationship.

[0032] Cl1 values ​​range from 200ppm to 20000ppm.

[0033] If the pH meter detects that the pH value in the circulating water treatment device is greater than pH1, the solenoid valve of the second reagent tank is opened, and acidic substances such as sulfuric acid are added to lower the pH value. If the pH meter detects that the pH value in the circulating water treatment device is less than pH2, Ca(OH)2 is added to increase the pH value.

[0034] pH1 is 4-10, and pH2 is 3-9.

[0035] If Ca 2+ The Ca content detected by the ion content detection instrument in the supernatant 2+ If the concentration is lower than the target value Ca1, the distributor is opened to add the raw material from the raw material supply device to the circulating water treatment device.

[0036] The Ca1 value ranges from 20 ppm to 20,000 ppm.

[0037] If the second chloride ion detector detects that the chloride ion content is higher than the target value Cl2, the opening degree of the reagent solenoid valve will be increased.

[0038] Cl2 values ​​range from 200ppm to 20000ppm.

[0039] After the reaction is complete, turn off the feeder motor and reagent pump. After the slurry in the hydrothermal reactor has finished reacting, close the second steam solenoid valve to cool and depressurize the hydrothermal reactor.

[0040] After the high-temperature drying device finishes discharging the material, the heating unit and the first steam solenoid valve are shut off.

[0041] Close the third circulating water solenoid valve, the second reagent tank solenoid valve, and the reagent solenoid valve; adjust the fourth circulating water solenoid valve; and close the slurry pump and the circulating water pump.

[0042] After the post-processing unit has finished processing the finished material, it is turned off.

[0043] After the wastewater treatment unit has finished treating the wastewater, shut down the wastewater treatment unit and close all valves that are not closed.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0045] 1. This invention regulates the moisture content of α-hemihydrate gypsum at the material outlet of the high-temperature drying device through a dehydration system to meet requirements; the chloride ions removed from the water by the mechanical extrusion dehydration device and the high-temperature drying device meet requirements and are reused in the circulating water treatment unit; the chloride ions discharged from the sedimentation tank meet requirements and are reused in the hydrothermal reaction system; by real-time monitoring of chloride content and moisture content and controlling water circulation and steam supply, the stable operation of the process system for preparing α-hemihydrate gypsum from desulfurized gypsum based on the hydrothermal method is achieved, ensuring that the finished α-hemihydrate gypsum meets the requirements for chloride content, moisture content, and purity, reducing the probability of abnormal system operation, and improving the product yield.

[0046] 2. This invention achieves precise recycling of dechlorinated water through a water reuse system. By efficiently dechlorinating the circulating water, the system's dependence on replenishing circulating water is reduced. New industrial water is only needed when the chlorine content of the circulating water is too high, thus improving the efficiency of water resource utilization. Through monitoring and removing chloride ions from the circulating water and efficiently controlling the switching between circulating water and industrial water, it is ensured that the prepared slurry is always below the maximum critical value of chlorine content in the hydrothermal reaction system.

[0047] 3. This invention utilizes the pressure energy of the high-temperature and high-pressure slurry after hydrothermal reaction to drive mechanical extrusion and rotation for dehydration and heat recycling, achieving dual recovery of system temperature and pressure. It also removes some moisture before high-temperature drying, thus reducing the energy consumption of the process system and improving economic efficiency.

[0048] 4. This invention achieves stable and precise heat supply and efficient heat recovery by detecting the temperature of the reactor, the moisture content of the dehydration system, and the interlocking control of the water and steam valves. It also ensures that the reaction temperature and concentration are always within the high reaction efficiency range and that the drying temperature is stable, effectively preventing the reversal or complete dehydration of α-hemihydrate gypsum.

[0049] 5. According to the control method of the dechlorination and upgrading system for preparing α-hemihydrate gypsum from industrial by-product gypsum in this invention, even if different raw materials are input, the operating strategy can be dynamically adjusted through the system control method to ensure that the product meets the requirements and the system operates stably.

[0056] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below.

[0057] Based on this, the present invention provides a dechlorination and upgrading system and method for preparing α-type hemihydrate gypsum from industrial by-product gypsum, realizing the efficient conversion of desulfurized gypsum into α-type hemihydrate gypsum, removing chloride ions, and ensuring the stability of system operation and the yield of products, thereby improving the economic value of desulfurized gypsum resource utilization.

[0058] Example 1

[0059] This embodiment provides a dechlorination and upgrading system for preparing α-type hemihydrate gypsum from industrial by-product gypsum, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 1 The dashed lines in the diagram represent the paths of water and steam, while the solid lines represent the paths of the slurry. This dechlorination and upgrading system includes a hydrothermal reaction system, a water reuse system, a steam heating system, a dewatering system, and a post-treatment system.

[0060] The hydrothermal reaction system includes a raw material supply device 2, a mixing device 3, a slurry pump 4, a hydrothermal reaction device 5, a distributor 15, a first reagent tank 16, and a reagent pump 17. The outlet of the raw material supply device 2 is connected to the material inlet of the mixing device 3 and the raw material inlet of the circulating water treatment unit 11, respectively. The distributor 15 is located between the raw material supply device 2 and the raw material inlet of the circulating water treatment unit 11. The outlet of the mixing device 3 is connected to the inlet of the hydrothermal reaction device 5 via the slurry pump 4. The outlet of the first reagent tank 16 is connected to the crystallizer inlet of the mixing device 3 and the first reagent inlet of the circulating water treatment unit 11, respectively.

[0061] Before the reaction, the industrial by-product gypsum from the raw material supply device 2 and the crystal-controlling agent from the first reagent tank 16 are added to the mixing device 3 via the reagent pump 17. After mixing, the mixture is added to the hydrothermal reaction device 5 via the slurry pump 4 for hydrothermal reaction. After the hydrothermal reaction is completed, the prepared product enters the dehydration system for dehydration treatment.

[0062] The dehydration system includes a pressurizing power unit 6, a mechanical extrusion dehydration unit 7, and a high-temperature drying unit 8. The product obtained from the hydrothermal reaction sequentially enters the mechanical extrusion dehydration unit 7, the high-temperature drying unit 8, and the post-treatment unit 9. If the pressure of the hydrothermal reaction unit 5 does not meet the standard value, it enters the mechanical extrusion dehydration unit 7 through the pressurizing power unit 6. During the dehydration process, the finished slurry from the hydrothermal reaction unit 5 undergoes mechanical removal of moisture in the mechanical extrusion dehydration unit 7. The processed product then enters the high-temperature drying unit 8, and the processed product enters the post-treatment system for high-temperature removal of moisture.

[0063] The water reuse system includes a second reagent tank 10, a circulating water treatment unit 11, a circulating water pump 12, a sedimentation tank 13, a heat exchanger 14, and a tailwater treatment unit 18. The hot-side inlet of the heat exchanger 14 is connected to the outlet of the mechanical extrusion dewatering device 7 and the outlet of the high-temperature drying device 8. The cold-side inlet of the heat exchanger 14 is connected to the industrial water inlet R2. The cold-side outlet of the heat exchanger 14 is connected to the water inlet of the mixing device 3. The inlet of the circulating water treatment unit 11 is connected to the outlets of the mechanical extrusion dewatering device 7 and the high-temperature drying device 8. The outlet of the circulating water treatment unit 11 is connected to the inlet of the sedimentation tank 13 via the circulating water pump 12. The outlet of the sedimentation tank 13 and the hot-side outlet of the heat exchanger 14 converge and are divided into a first mixed outlet and a second mixed outlet. The first mixed outlet is connected to the water inlet of the mixing device 3, and the second mixed outlet is connected to the tailwater treatment unit 18.

[0064] During operation, the water reuse system receives separated water from the mechanical extrusion device 7 and dried condensate from the high-temperature drying device 8. After passing the test by the first chloride ion content detector ClO1, the water enters the circulating water treatment unit 11. In the circulating water treatment unit, a crystal-controlling agent from the first reagent tank 16 and a pH adjuster from the second reagent tank 10 are added. The resulting well-prepared circulating water then enters the sedimentation tank 13 via the circulating water pump 12. Chlorine-containing precipitates are removed in the sedimentation tank 13, and the resulting pure circulating water flows out from the outlet of the sedimentation tank 13. After passing the test by the second chloride ion content detector ClO2, the water enters the mixing device 3 from the first mixing outlet for slurry preparation. If the second chloride ion content detector ClO2 fails to meet the test, the amount of crystal-controlling agent added to the circulating water treatment unit 11 needs to be increased. The pure circulating water generated in the sedimentation tank 13 is added to the mixing device 3. Excess pure circulating water or circulating water with too high chloride ion content that cannot be reused enters the tailwater treatment unit 18 from the second mixing outlet for water discharge.

[0065] The separated water in the mechanical extrusion device 7 and the dried condensate in the high-temperature drying device 8 are detected by the first chloride ion content detector Cl01. If the chloride ion content does not meet the treatment requirements, the removed water enters the hot side inlet of the heat exchanger 14 to exchange heat with the newly entered industrial water. The industrial water enters the heat exchanger 14 sequentially from the industrial water inlet R2 and the cold side inlet of the heat exchanger 14 to recover the heat of the circulating water. The resulting hot industrial water enters the blending device 3 from the cold side outlet of the heat exchanger 14 and the water inlet of the blending device 3 for slurry blending.

[0066] The steam heating system includes a heating unit 1. The first outlet of the heating unit 1 is connected to the steam inlet of the hydrothermal reaction device (5), and the second outlet of the heating unit 1 is connected to the steam heating inlet of the high-temperature drying device 8. The heating unit is used to provide steam to the hydrothermal reaction system and the high-temperature drying device 8, and to provide a heat source for reaction heating and drying dehydration.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] This embodiment provides a control method for a dechlorination and upgrading system in the preparation of α-type hemihydrate gypsum from industrial by-product gypsum, specifically including the following steps:

[0073] When the system starts, water is injected into the mixing device 3 through the industrial water solenoid valve V05.
