Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of flue gas purification, and particularly relates to a method for removing SO2 and CO2 from flue gas. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of the industrialization process, the extensive use of fossil fuels has led to a continuous increase in the emissions of SO2 and CO2 in flue gas. SO2 is one of the main pollutants causing acid rain, while CO2 is the main source of greenhouse gas emissions. Controlling the emissions of SO2 and CO2 is of great significance for protecting the global environment and the development of the national economy.
[0003] The current industrial methods for removing CO2 from flue gas mainly include amine method removal, wet scrubbing technology, etc. The methods for removing SO2 include sodium-based dry desulfurization (SDS) technology, ammonia-based desulfurization, etc. The amine method removal technology has high removal efficiency, but high energy consumption, requires a large amount of amine absorbents, has a high operating cost, and there are problems with the recovery and regeneration of amine absorbents. The wet scrubbing technology has a mature process and simple operation, but the CO2 absorption efficiency is relatively low, usually less than 10%; it needs to treat a large amount of wastewater and there is a risk of secondary pollution. The SDS technology has a simple process, no wastewater generation, and low energy consumption, but low efficiency and has certain requirements for flue gas temperature and humidity. Ammonia-based desulfurization has secondary pollution (ammonia escape) and high costs. Therefore, high-efficiency treatment technologies are difficult to achieve due to high costs, and conventional methods have problems such as low efficiency and secondary pollution.
[0004] Therefore, researching and developing technologies for removing SO2 and CO2 from flue gas with low cost and high efficiency is of great significance for solving industrial flue gas pollution problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention discloses a method for removing SO2 and CO2 from flue gas, mainly solving the problems of low efficiency and secondary pollution in current flue gas removal of SO2 and CO2.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for removing SO2 and CO2 from flue gas, including the following steps:
[0007] S1: Select HA-Ca and NH4Cl as raw materials, add water and stir well to obtain a mixture of CaCl2 and HA-NH4;
[0008] S2: Heat and decompose the mixture of CaCl2 and HA-NH4 to obtain a mixture of HA and CaCl2, and NH3;
[0009] S3: Filter the mixture of HA and CaCl2 to obtain HA precipitate and CaCl2 solution;
[0010] S4: Introduce the NH3 obtained in S2 into the CaCl2 solution, and introduce the flue gas containing CO2 to generate a mixture of NH4Cl and CaCO3;
[0011] S5: Filter the mixture of NH4Cl and CaCO3 to obtain CaCO3 precipitate and NH4Cl solution;
[0012] S6: Add the NH3 obtained in S2 to the absorption reaction device, introduce the flue gas containing SO2 and water, and react to generate (NH4)2SO3;
[0013] S7: Oxidize (NH4)2SO3 to obtain (NH4)2SO4;
[0014] S8: Use the mixture of (NH4)2SO4 and HA in S3 as humic acid organic compound fertilizer.
[0015] Preferably, the NH4Cl solution in S5 is reintroduced into the reaction system of HA-Ca and treated under the same reaction conditions as in S1 to achieve the recycling of ammonium chloride solution.
[0016] Preferably, the CaCO3 in S5 is used as a chemical raw material.
[0017] Preferably, the mass ratio of HA-Ca to NH4Cl in S1 is 1:1 to 1:3.
[0018] Preferably, the volume percentage content of CO2 in S4 is 5% - 20%, and the volume percentage content of SO2 in S6 is 0.01% - 0.5%.
[0019] The technical solution provided by the present invention has at least the following technical effects:
[0020] Calcium humate and ammonium chloride are converted into ammonium humate and calcium chloride under the action of water. The mixture of ammonium humate and calcium chloride decomposes after heating, generating humic acid, calcium chloride and ammonia, and the ammonia is subsequently collected. Through filtration operation, humic acid and calcium chloride solution are separated. After the calcium chloride solution absorbs carbon dioxide in the flue gas, it reacts with ammonia to generate light calcium carbonate and ammonium chloride solution. At the same time, the collected ammonia is used to absorb sulfur dioxide in the flue gas to form ammonium sulfite. Ammonium sulfite is converted into ammonium sulfate and humic acid through oxidation reaction, and these substances can be used as fertilizers. This process has high-efficiency waste gas treatment ability, low raw material cost, simple process flow, and no secondary pollution.
[0021] The generated ammonium chloride solution can be effectively recovered and reused in the reaction system of calcium humate. The produced light calcium carbonate can be used as an important chemical raw material in the paper industry, rubber industry, and plastic industry, thus realizing the recycling and conservation of resources. This not only improves production efficiency but also helps reduce the generation of industrial waste. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
