Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flue gas ammonia desulfurization, and in particular relates to an ammonia desulfurization system and method for reducing ammonia escape. Background Art
[0002] Ammonia desulfurization is currently a more commonly used flue gas desulfurization method. It has the advantages of high desulfurization efficiency and wide application range. In addition, the ammonium sulfite generated in the desulfurization process reacts chemically with oxygen in the air in the oxidation section to generate ammonium sulfate, which is then concentrated and crystallized to produce solid ammonium sulfate byproducts. This byproduct can also be used to prepare fertilizers, which can achieve effective utilization of resources. Although the desulfurization tower design in the prior art has detailed division of different functional sections, it lacks the application of automatic control systems. This means that the operation process may require more manual intervention, increasing the complexity of the operation and the possibility of error. Manual adjustment of parameters may lead to prolonged reaction time, affecting desulfurization efficiency and ammonia slip control.
[0003] Based on this, the present invention designs an ammonia desulfurization system and method for reducing ammonia slip to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0009] And includes the following steps: Real-time data collection: collect data such as SO2 concentration, ammonia concentration, pH value, temperature, etc. through sensors; Data processing: process the collected data and calculate the deviation and adjustment amount; Control decision: Calculate the adjustment amount according to the algorithm formula and generate the control command; Execution command: Adjust the ammonia supply, temperature and other parameters through automatic control valves and other actuators.
[0010] An ammonia desulfurization method for reducing ammonia slip comprises the following steps: S1. Flue gas enters the concentration and cooling section of the desulfurization tower through the flue gas inlet and is cooled to below 60°C through the spray system; S2, the concentrated liquid is discharged through the drain port and enters the crystallization tank. The upper concentrated liquid in the crystallization tank overflows into the concentration circulation tank and is sent back to the spray system through the concentration pump; S3. When the solid content in the crystallization tank reaches a set threshold, the solid is discharged for recovery; S4, in the absorption section, ammonia water or ammonia solution is sprayed through the spray system to react with SO2 in the flue gas to form ammonium sulfate; S5, in the oxidation stage, oxidizing the ammonium sulfite to ammonium sulfate by an oxidant; S6, capturing and recovering the escaped ammonia after the demisting section through an ammonia escape recovery device; S7. The operating parameters in the desulfurization tower are monitored and adjusted in real time through the control system to optimize the desulfurization efficiency and reduce ammonia escape.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: The concentration of the ammonia water or ammonia solution injected in step S4 is automatically adjusted by a control system to maintain the best desulfurization efficiency and the lowest ammonia slip.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: The ammonia gas recovered in step S6 can be converted into ammonia water or ammonia solution and reused in the spraying system.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: The operating parameters in step S7 include ammonia concentration, pH value, spray liquid temperature and flue gas flow rate.
[0014] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1.

In addition, the system realizes the recycling of resources, converting the recovered ammonia gas into ammonia water or ammonia solution and re-injecting it into the spraying system. This closed-loop process not only improves the efficiency of resource use, but also embodies the concept of sustainable development. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The absorption section of the desulfurization tower adopts a double-layer filler structure to improve the gas-liquid contact efficiency.
[0021] The ammonia escape recovery device comprises at least one absorption tower filled with an absorbent for absorbing ammonia in the flue gas.
[0022] The control system includes: (1) SO2 and ammonia concentration monitor, used to monitor the SO2 concentration in flue gas and the ammonia concentration in the absorption liquid in real time; (2) Automatic regulating valve, used to adjust the supply of ammonia water according to monitoring data; (3) Data processing unit, used to analyze monitoring data and optimize the operating parameters of the sprinkler system.
[0023] And includes the following steps: Real-time data collection: collect data such as SO2 concentration, ammonia concentration, pH value, temperature, etc. through sensors; Data processing: process the collected data and calculate the deviation and adjustment amount; Control decision: Calculate the adjustment amount according to the algorithm formula and generate the control command; Execution command: adjust the ammonia supply, temperature and other parameters through automatic regulating valves and other actuators; The ammonia supply adjustment algorithm is as follows: Formula: ΔQNH3=K1*(Ctarget-Ccurrent) Meaning: ΔQNH3 is the adjustment amount of ammonia water supply, K1 is the adjustment coefficient, Ctarget is the target ammonia concentration, and Ccurrent is the current ammonia concentration. This formula is used to adjust the supply of ammonia water according to the deviation of ammonia concentration.
[0024] SO2 concentration feedback control algorithm: Formula: ΔQNH3=K2*(Ctarget_SO2-Ccurrent_SO2)*(Ccurrent_NH3 / Cmax_NH3) Meaning: ΔQNH3 is the adjustment amount of ammonia supply, K2 is the adjustment coefficient, Ctarget_SO2 is the target SO2 concentration, Ccurrent_SO2 is the current SO2 concentration, Ccurrent_NH3 is the current ammonia concentration, and Cmax_NH3 is the maximum allowable value of ammonia concentration.

This formula is used to adjust the temperature of the spray system; The model is built using the PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control algorithm: Proportional (P): Directly proportional to the current error, used to respond quickly to errors.
[0027] P=Kp×e(t) where Kp is the proportional gain and e(t) is the current error (the difference between the target value and the actual value).
[0028] Integral (I): Proportional to the integral of the error and is used to eliminate steady-state errors.
[0029] I=Ki×∫e(t)dt where Ki is the integral gain.
[0030] Derivative (D): Proportional to the rate of change of the error and used to predict the changing trend of the error.
[0031] D=Kd×de(t)dt where Kd is the differential gain.

Flue gas enters the concentration and cooling section of the desulfurization tower through the flue gas inlet and is cooled to below 60°C through the spray system; S2, the concentrated liquid is discharged through the drain port and enters the crystallization tank.
