Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sulfur-containing tail gas treatment, and particularly to an acidic tail gas desulfurization system and method. Background Art

[0002] In the natural gas purification process, MDEA solution (methyldiethanolamine solution, also known as "amine solution") is widely used to remove CO 2 and sulfides from natural gas. The absorbed amine solution is regenerated by low pressure and high temperature. During this process, hydrogen sulfide, SO 2 and other sulfides are released together with CO 2 Since these released tail gases contain sulfides, according to relevant environmental protection standards, the sulfur content in the sulfur-containing waste gas discharged locally needs to be strictly controlled. However, the currently commonly used tail gas treatment processes, such as using substances such as complex iron, iron sulfide, and activated carbon to remove sulfides from tail gases, generally have disadvantages such as high operating costs, high energy consumption, and environmental pollution. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a treatment process that can not only effectively reduce the sulfur content in tail gases but also realize the low-energy consumption recovery and utilization of sulfides. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides an acidic tail gas desulfurization system and method to solve the technical problems of high operating costs and environmental pollution in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] An acidic tail gas desulfurization system and method provided by the present application include a heat exchange device, a primary desulfurization tower, a secondary desulfurization tower, and an induced draft fan. A boiler combustion-supporting fan is provided at the inlet of the heat exchange device. The first outlet of the heat exchange device is communicated with the inlet of the primary desulfurization tower. The first outlet of the primary desulfurization tower is communicated with the first inlet of the secondary desulfurization tower. The treated tail gas is discharged through the induced draft fan. The second outlet of the primary desulfurization tower is communicated with a neutralization tank. The outlet of the neutralization tank is communicated with the inlet of an oxidizer. The outlet of the oxidizer is communicated with the inlet of an evaporator. The outlet of the evaporator is communicated with the second inlet of the secondary desulfurization tower.

[0006] Further, the primary desulfurization tower is connected to a primary circulation pump, and the absorption liquid is circulated in the primary desulfurization tower to absorb sulfur dioxide through the primary circulation pump. The secondary desulfurization tower is connected to a secondary circulation pump, and the absorption liquid is circulated in the secondary desulfurization tower to absorb sulfur dioxide through the secondary circulation pump.

[0007] Further, the second outlet of the heat exchange device is communicated with a gas-fired boiler. The outlet of the gas-fired boiler is then communicated with the inlet of the heat exchange device to realize the recycling of flue gas through the gas-fired boiler.

[0008] Further, the secondary desulfurization tower is connected to the primary desulfurization tower through a pipeline, and the excess absorption liquid in the secondary desulfurization tower enters the primary desulfurization tower through the pipeline for utilization.

[0009] An acidic tail gas desulfurization method provided by the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0010] (1) When the MDEA decarbonization liquid is regenerated, the sulfur-containing tail gas is released. First, it passes through a gas-fired boiler, and through the high-temperature action of the furnace, all the sulfides in the tail gas are oxidized into SO 2 ;

[0011] (2) By generating suction through an induced draft fan, the tail gas containing SO 2 passes through the primary desulfurization tower and the secondary desulfurization tower. Add NaOH solution to the primary desulfurization tower and the secondary desulfurization tower. Under the action of the primary circulation pump and the secondary circulation pump, SO 2 comes into full contact with the NaOH solution, and SO 2 is absorbed to form Na 2 SO 3 , and the tail gas is safely discharged locally after desulfurization;

[0012] (3) The saturated absorption liquid formed in the primary desulfurization tower is introduced into a neutralization tank, and NaOH solution is added to the neutralization tank for neutralization;

[0013] (4) All the neutralized solution is added to an oxidizer for oxidation to convert it all into Na 2 SO 4 ;

[0014] (5) The solution in the oxidizer is pumped into an evaporator through a pump, and steam is continuously added to the evaporator. While the alkaline solution absorbs sulfides, the concentration of the Na 2 SO 4 solution continuously increases. The alkaline solution passes through the evaporator, continuously increases in concentration, and finally condenses to form crystals, which are dried and dehydrated to produce the final product sodium sulfate particles;

[0015] (6) The condensate generated by the evaporator enters the secondary desulfurization tower to cool the treated tail gas.

[0016] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention:

[0017] (1) In the acidic tail gas desulfurization system provided by the present invention, during the desulfurization process, the formed Na 2 SO 3 and Na 2 SO 4The solution can be further processed to be converted into sodium sulfate particles, realizing the resource recovery and utilization of sulfides, reducing waste emissions and creating economic benefits. By introducing a heat exchange device and a gas boiler, the recycling of flue gas is realized, improving the overall thermal efficiency of the system. At the same time, the recycling of the absorption liquid between the first-stage desulfurization tower and the second-stage desulfurization tower also improves the utilization rate of the absorption liquid and reduces waste. By setting up two-stage desulfurization towers, the removal efficiency of SO 2 in the tail gas is effectively improved, ensuring that the sulfur content in the discharged tail gas is far lower than the environmental protection standards and reducing environmental pollution.

[0018] (2) In the acidic tail gas desulfurization method provided by the present invention, all sulfides in the tail gas are oxidized into SO 2 through boiler combustion oxidation, and then through the desulfurization tower, the tail gas is absorbed by the alkali liquid for sulfides and discharged up to standard. The alkali liquid absorbing SO 2 enters the triple-effect evaporation device for drying and crystallization after oxidation to produce sodium sulfate, so that the sulfides in the tail gas are effectively utilized. At the same time, the present invention effectively solves the problem of excessive sulfur content in the discharged tail gas with a simple structure and low cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
