Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of sulfuric acid production, and in particular to a method and system for producing sulfuric acid from sulfur based on cooling heat recovery. Background Art
[0002] By 2023, the global sulfuric acid production capacity will be 205 million tons, and China's sulfuric acid production capacity will be 58 million tons. The global sulfuric acid production processes mainly include 3+1 (or 3+2) two-turn two-absorption process, one-turn one-absorption + organic solvent absorption and desorption process. Among them, the two-turn two-absorption process accounts for the absolute majority (accounting for more than 99%, and the 3+1 two-turn two-absorption process accounts for the vast majority), and the one-turn one-absorption + organic solvent absorption and desorption process is a new process developed in recent years, and its industrialization technology is not yet mature.
[0003] The heat generated by each part of the sulfuric acid plant with two-turn two-absorption process is as follows: 52% heat from sulfur incineration, 17% heat from conversion, 28% heat from absorption, and 3% heat from fan compression; the heat recovery situation of the sulfuric acid plant with two-turn two-absorption process with low-temperature heat recovery system is as follows: 66% heat is recovered from by-product medium and high-pressure superheated steam, 25% heat is recovered from low-temperature waste heat, 6% heat is taken away by circulating water, 1% heat is taken away by tail gas and products, and 2% heat is lost due to heat dissipation.
[0004] At present, most domestic sulfuric acid plants recover the byproduct of sulfur incineration heat and conversion heat, 3.82 ~ 6.4MPaG medium-pressure superheated steam, and use low-temperature waste heat recovery technology to recover the flue gas sensible heat, SO3 absorption heat and dilution heat after primary conversion, and produce 0.8 ~ 1.0MPaG (gauge pressure) low-pressure saturated steam. The commonly used process is: the air sensible heat and the condensation heat and dilution heat of the water vapor contained in the air drying process, the sensible heat of the flue gas after secondary conversion in the secondary absorption tower, and the SO3 absorption heat are taken away by the circulating acid at 70 ~ 100 ℃, and the heat is exchanged with the circulating cooling water at 30 ~ 45 ℃ through the acid cooler and finally discharged into the atmosphere through the cooling water tower and wasted. Specifically, the ultra-low temperature waste heat of low-temperature sulfuric acid is taken away by the circulating cooling water through the finished acid cooler, the drying acid cooler, the low-temperature heat recovery secondary acid cooler, and the second absorption acid cooler (this part of the heat is not recovered); the circulating acid or heat exchange with desalted water produces low-temperature hot water below 100 ℃. The acid in the low-temperature waste heat recovery system returns to the dry absorption system. The boiler feed water heater heats the boiler feed water of the low-pressure steam boiler in the low-temperature waste heat recovery system to increase the low-pressure steam output of the low-temperature waste heat recovery system by 0.8~1.0MPaG. The desalted water preheater is used to heat the desalted water entering the deaerator to 85~95℃ to reduce the steam consumption of the low-pressure steam in the deaerator, so that the temperature of the acid in the return dry absorption system is reduced to 95~105℃. At present, the total heat recovery rate of sulfuric acid plants with low-temperature waste heat recovery systems has reached about 91%, and about 6% of the ultra-low temperature waste heat carried away by the circulating water has not been recovered. The circulating water consumption is 20t / t acid (20 tons per ton of acid). Or this part of the ultra-low temperature waste heat is used for by-product hot water, and the use of hot water is limited. Even if the by-product hot water is used for power generation through the organic Rankine cycle, its efficiency is only about 10%. The hot water is used for heating or refrigeration of lithium bromide units. Its scope of use is limited, so the use of ultra-low temperature waste heat by-product hot water has not been widely adopted.
[0005] In general, the heat carried away by tail gas and products (not worth recycling due to low temperature) and heat dissipation loss have no room for further recycling. The heat carried away by circulating cooling water (or hot water recovery) is still recoverable in sulfuric acid plants with low-temperature waste heat recovery systems, accounting for about 6% of the total heat of sulfuric acid plants. How to better utilize this 6% of ultra-low temperature waste heat, which is currently mainly carried away by circulating cooling water or by-product hot water, has become the key to improving the waste heat recovery efficiency and quality of sulfuric acid plants. Summary of the invention

[0013] Furthermore, the low temperature heat recovery secondary acid cooler is used to receive 98-98.5wt% of the diabsorption circulating acid directly output from the combined cycle acid tank, and output the diabsorption circulating acid at 60°C to the low temperature heat recovery tower.
[0014] Furthermore, after the acid stream passes through the primary desalted water preheater, the temperature is reduced from 95-100°C to 85°C.
[0015] Furthermore, the secondary absorption acid cooler is used to receive 98-98.5wt% of secondary absorption circulating acid directly output from the combined circulation acid tank, and output secondary absorption circulating acid at 65-82°C to the secondary absorption tower.
[0016] Furthermore, after the acid stream flows through the secondary desalted water preheater, the temperature is reduced from 148-166°C to 95-100°C, and at the same time, the temperature of the desalted water flowing through the secondary desalted water preheater is increased to 115-120°C before entering the deaerator.
[0017] Furthermore, in the first low-temperature waste heat boiler, the temperature of the string acid is reduced from 180~190°C to 148~166°C, the temperature of the deoxygenated water output from the deaerator is 135°C, and the deoxygenated water is evaporated in the first low-temperature waste heat boiler to output low-pressure steam of 0.25~0.4MPaG.
[0018] Furthermore, a boiler feed water heater is connected in series between the first low-temperature waste heat boiler and the second low-temperature waste heat boiler, and the acid stream flows out of the second low-temperature waste heat boiler and enters the first low-temperature waste heat boiler through the boiler feed water heater.
[0019] At the same time, the present invention also provides a system for the sulfuric acid production method based on the above-mentioned cooling heat recovery, comprising a combined circulation acid tank, the dry circulation acid output end of the combined circulation acid tank is respectively connected to a drying tower and a finished acid cooler through a first acid path and a second acid path, the output end of the drying tower is connected to the combined circulation acid tank, and a first dry acid cooler and a second dry acid cooler are connected in parallel on the first acid path; The second absorption circulating acid output end of the combined circulation acid tank is connected to the second absorption tower and the low-temperature heat recovery system through the third acid path and the fourth acid path respectively, the third acid path is connected to the second absorption acid cooler, the acid string end of the low-temperature heat recovery system is connected to the first low-pressure steam by-product system through the fifth acid path, and the acid output end of the first low-pressure steam by-product system is connected to the combined circulation acid tank through the sixth acid path; The first low-pressure steam by-product system comprises a first low-temperature waste heat boiler, a second-stage desalted water preheater and a first-stage desalted water preheater connected in series along the acid path, the first low-temperature waste heat boiler is connected to the fifth acid path, and the first-stage desalted water preheater is connected to the combined cycle acid tank; The cooling pipeline of the whole system is connected in sequence to the finished acid cooler, the first dry acid cooler, the low-temperature heat recovery system, the primary desalted water preheater, the second acid absorption cooler and the secondary desalted water preheater; The water inlet end of the first low-temperature waste heat boiler is connected to the output end of the deaerator.
[0020] Preferably, the low-temperature heat recovery system is used to produce a second low-pressure steam, and the low-temperature heat recovery system includes a low-temperature heat recovery secondary acid cooler, a low-temperature heat recovery tower, a second low-temperature waste heat boiler and a boiler feed water heater which are connected in sequence along the acid path, the acid outlet end of the boiler feed water heater is connected to the acid inlet end of the first low-temperature waste heat boiler, the low-temperature heat recovery secondary acid cooler is connected to the combined cycle acid tank, and the cooling pipeline is connected to the low-temperature heat recovery secondary acid cooler.
[0021] Furthermore, the second dry acid cooler is externally connected with an independent cold water pipe for inputting / outputting circulating water.
[0022] Furthermore, the output end of the deaerator is also connected to the second low-temperature waste heat boiler, and the boiler feed water heater is connected in series between the output end of the deaerator and the second low-temperature waste heat boiler.
[0023] Furthermore, the output end of the deaerator is also connected to the water inlet end of the acid diluter, the acid inlet end of the acid diluter is connected to the acid outlet end of the second low-temperature waste heat boiler, and the output end of the acid diluter is connected to the diluted acid inlet of the low-temperature heat recovery tower.
[0024] Among them, the desalted water is successively passed through the finished acid cooler, the first dry acid cooler, the low-temperature heat recovery secondary acid cooler, the first desalted water preheater, the second acid absorption cooler, and the second desalted water preheater to recover the heat collected by the entire system for circulating cooling, so that the temperature of the desalted water entering the deaerator is increased to 115~120℃, and the energy consumption of heating the deoxygenated water to 135℃ during the deoxygenation process of the deaerator is reduced, and the steam consumption of the deaerator is reduced by 0.07~0.09t / t acid. In addition, the waste heat in the acid string returned to the combined cycle acid tank by the first low-temperature waste heat boiler using the low-temperature heat recovery tower (the acid temperature is reduced from 180~190℃ to 148~166℃), and the 135℃ deoxygenated water is pressurized and sent to the first low-temperature waste heat boiler through the low-pressure boiler feed water pump to produce 0.25~0.4MpaG low-pressure saturated steam 0.045~0.085t / t acid. Thus, the low-value cooling heat is assigned and reused. In addition, the heat recovery rate increased from 91% to about 95.5~97%, and the circulating water consumption of the sulfuric acid system was reduced from 20t / t acid to 0~5t / t acid.
[0025] Due to the change of meteorological conditions, the air temperature changes and the amount of water vapor entering the drying tower changes. Under high temperature and high humidity meteorological conditions, the sensible heat and water vapor entering the air increase, resulting in an increase in the condensation heat of air drying. Since the temperature of the drying acid is usually around 60~75℃, the cost of recovering this part of the cooling heat is too high (causing the desalted water that has been circulating to rise too fast and too high, resulting in reduced heat exchange efficiency). Therefore, the first dry acid cooler is set to use desalted water to cool part of the dry upper tower acid, and the second dry acid cooler is set to use external circulating water to cool part of the dry upper tower acid, thereby separating part of the heat entering the system under high humidity and high temperature meteorological conditions. The temperature of the desalted water entering the deaerator is controlled to be 115~120℃ to adjust the acid amount and circulating cooling water amount of the second dry acid cooler, so that the system remains in a controllable optimal operating range. The maximum circulating cooling water amount is 5t / t acid, and the circulating cooling water amount can be reduced to 0t / t acid under meteorological conditions with low air humidity.
[0026] Moreover, part of the 0.25~0.4MpaG low-pressure steam produced as a by-product of the entire system is introduced into the deaerator to meet the demand for low-pressure steam for deoxygenation, and the remaining low-pressure steam can also be injected into the acid-making system, converted and produced into 0.8~1.0MpaG low-pressure steam, and the recovered 0.25~0.4MpaG low-pressure steam is fully utilized within the device. The final result is to displace more 0.8~1.0MpaG low-pressure steam for external supply, so that the net output (external supply) of 0.8~1.0MpaG low-pressure steam of the sulfuric acid-making device increases by 0.13~0.17t / t acid, so as to realize the high-value recovery and utilization of ultra-low temperature waste heat.
[0027] Therefore, the sulfuric acid production method based on cooling heat recovery and utilization involved in this application has the following beneficial effects: The sulfuric acid system of the present invention improves the heat energy recovery rate of the sulfuric acid plant from 91% to about 95.5-97%, so that the cooling heat which is the most difficult to recover can be recovered at a high value.
[0028] The present invention recovers the cooling heat of the sulfuric acid system to increase the temperature of the desalted water entering the deaerator to reduce the consumption of low-pressure steam and produce 0.25-0.4MpaG low-pressure steam as a by-product, and the by-product low-pressure steam is used for deoxygenation (the traditional sulfuric acid device does not have 0.25-0.4MpaG low-pressure steam, and generally uses 0.8-1.0MpaG low-pressure steam after decompression for thermal deoxygenation, and the downgraded use of this part of 0.8-1.0MpaG low-pressure steam causes waste) to meet the demand of the deaerator for low-pressure steam, and the remaining part of the low-pressure steam can be injected into the The waste heat is converted into 0.8~1.0MpaG low-pressure steam output by the low-temperature waste heat recovery system, achieving a balance between the increase in desalted water temperature and the production of 0.25~0.4MPaG low-pressure steam. The recovered cooling heat reduces the internal consumption of low-pressure steam and increases the output. The final result is an increase in the net output of 0.8~1.0MpaG low-pressure steam, and the net output of 0.8~1.0MpaG low-pressure steam in the sulfuric acid system is increased to 0.43~0.47t / t acid, and the net output of low-pressure steam (external supply) increases by 0.13~0.17t / t acid. Taking the 800,000-ton sulfuric acid plant as an example, the annual increase in the net output of steam is worth 10.40~13.60 million yuan (0.8~1.0MPaG low-pressure steam is priced at 100 yuan / ton). The cascade comprehensive utilization of energy is achieved inside the sulfuric acid plant, and the cooling heat is recycled and utilized at a high value.
[0029] Compared with the conventional method of recovering hot water produced by cooling heat of sulfuric acid production system, increasing the temperature of desalted water entering the deaerator to 85-95°C to reduce steam consumption, or using excess hot water for power generation through organic Rankine cycle (the power generation efficiency is only about 10%), or using excess hot water for refrigeration or heating of lithium bromide unit, the use and value of the by-product 0.25-0.4MpaG low-pressure steam are greatly improved in the present invention. By replacing the originally downgraded 0.8-1.0MPaG low-pressure steam used for deoxidation, and injecting the remaining 0.25-0.4MpaG low-pressure steam into the low-temperature waste heat recovery system to be converted into 0.8-1.0MpaG low-pressure steam, the net output of 0.8-1.0MpaG low-pressure steam of sulfuric acid production device is increased, the grade of recovered heat energy is improved, the use of steam is more extensive and the value is higher. For example, the net output of 0.8-1.0MPaG low-pressure steam increased is used for power generation, and the efficiency can reach 62%, which is a qualitative improvement in energy utilization efficiency compared with hot water power generation.
[0030] The heat energy recovery rate of the sulfuric acid system of the present invention is increased from 91% to about 95.5-97%, and the circulating water consumption of the corresponding sulfuric acid system (with a low-temperature waste heat recovery system) is reduced from 20 t / t acid to 0-5 t / t acid, which can save a total of 0.87-1.16 yuan / t acid for the circulating water station, circulating water pipeline and operating power consumption costs; the investment increased by recovering ultra-low temperature waste heat and the operating power consumption costs are 0.6 yuan / t acid in total. Taking the construction of an 800,000-ton sulfuric acid plant as an example, 216,000-448,000 yuan can be saved annually.
[0031] The present invention does not require major adjustments to the two-turn and two-absorption process, but only requires reconstruction of the heat exchange network and equipment, and is relatively easy to implement for both new and old installations. The domestic sulfuric acid system has a production capacity of 58 million tons. Recycling this part of cooling heat to reduce steam consumption and by-product 0.25~0.4MPaG low-pressure saturated steam increases the net steam output by 7.54~9.86 million tons / year, which has great recycling value. Compared with traditional processes, it reduces the investment and power consumption of circulating water stations, and the value of by-products is greatly improved compared with by-product hot water. The entire process is simple and the operating cost is low. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
