Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of gas separation, and is particularly suitable for the separation of gases containing carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Background Art

[0002] In the process of producing ethylene glycol from calcium carbide furnace gas, coke oven gas, and coal gasification synthesis gas, a shift process is often used to ensure that the hydrogen concentration in the raw material gas is greater than that of carbon monoxide. The shift process uses a sulfur-tolerant catalyst, and a certain amount of H2S is required to maintain the activity of the catalyst and prevent the reverse sulfidation of the catalyst. Therefore, in order to separate and purify carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the raw material gas and remove impurity gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, a system and method for efficiently separating carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide are needed.

[0003] Patent CN110835556A introduces a wet desulfurization system and method for blast furnace gas. The specific device includes a hydrolysis reactor for hydrolyzing the gas and a solution absorption tank for absorbing sulfur-containing gases. The hydrolysis reactor is filled with a hydrolysis catalyst. An intake pipe is installed at the intake port of the hydrolysis reactor, and an outlet pipe is installed at the outlet port of the hydrolysis reactor. A first gas sampling port and a second gas sampling port are respectively opened on the intake pipe and the outlet pipe. The solution absorption tank is connected to the hydrolysis reactor through the outlet pipe. An exhaust pipe is installed at the outlet port of the solution absorption tank, and a third gas sampling port is opened on the exhaust pipe. The patent first performs a hydrolysis reaction using the hydrolysis reactor, and then uses the solution absorption tank to absorb sulfur-containing gases. Through the device and method provided by the above patent, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide gases can be removed better, but there are problems of rapid decline in separation efficiency and incomplete separation during long-term operation, which have an adverse impact on the stable operation, energy conservation and consumption reduction, and safe and environmental protection operation of the overall ethylene glycol production device.

[0014] Using the described system for efficiently separating carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide, the method for efficiently separating carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide includes the following steps: (1) A mixed gas containing components such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide enters the absorption tower I from the lower gas-phase inlet of the absorption tower I, and successively contacts the solution A entering the absorption tower I from the middle liquid-phase inlet of the absorption tower I and the solution B entering the absorption tower I from the upper liquid-phase inlet of the absorption tower I in a countercurrent manner. After the carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the mixed gas are absorbed by the solution A and B, a gas-liquid mixture is formed and enters the upper liquid-phase inlet of the normal desorption stripping tower; carbon monoxide flows out from the top gas-phase outlet of the absorption tower I, is cooled by the heat exchanger I, and then enters the gas-liquid separator I.

(3) The solution C that has absorbed hydrogen sulfide flows out from the bottom liquid-phase outlet of the absorption tower II, is sent to the regeneration tank by the rich liquid pump. Hydrogen sulfide reacts with the solution C, and hydrogen sulfide is oxidized to elemental sulfur. The sulfur foam containing elemental sulfur overflows from the upper part of the regeneration tank to the sulfur foam tank, and then is sent to a device outside the system by the sulfur foam pump; the solution C that has reacted with hydrogen sulfide reacts with the oxygen in the air entering from the upper gas-phase inlet of the regeneration tank to achieve the purpose of regenerating the solution C. The regenerated solution C is sent to the upper liquid-phase inlet of the absorption tower II by the regenerated liquid pump. (4) Solution A, from which most of the carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide have been resolved in the normal desorption stripper, flows out from the middle liquid phase outlet of the normal desorption stripper in two paths. One path is sent to the middle liquid phase inlet of Absorber I through the semi-lean liquid pump; the other path is sent to the inlet of Heat Exchanger II through the solution pump, and exchanges heat with Solution B, from which a small amount of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide have been resolved, flowing out from the bottom liquid phase outlet of the normal desorption stripper, in Heat Exchanger II. After heat exchange, Solution A is divided into two paths. One path is directly sent to the middle liquid phase inlet of the normal desorption stripper, and the other path is sent to the middle liquid phase inlet of the normal desorption stripper after filtering the solid impurities in Solution A through the solution filtering device. (5) After heat exchange in Heat Exchanger II, Solution B is divided into two paths. One path is directly sent to the inlet of the lean liquid pump, and the other path is sent to the inlet of the lean liquid pump after removing the heat-stable salts in the solution through the solution desalting device; Solution B at the outlet of the lean liquid pump enters Absorber I from the upper liquid phase inlet of Absorber I after being cooled by Heat Exchanger III.

[0022] The method for efficiently separating carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide as described above, wherein the liquid level of Absorption Tower II is 270 - 1300 mm; the pressure of Absorption Tower II is 8 - 40 kPa.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) By innovating the process flow and scientifically and reasonably setting the operating temperature and pressure, Absorption Tower I can efficiently absorb carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide gases, and Absorption Tower II can efficiently absorb hydrogen sulfide gas. Cooperating with the normal solution stripping tower operation, the beneficial effect of efficiently separating carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide is achieved. (2) The mixed gas is an acidic gas, which will corrode the packing in Absorption Tower I and the normal solution stripping tower. After the packing is corroded, the packing debris will be carried into the solution, resulting in an increase in the content of solid impurities in the MDEA solution and packing blockage. The present invention sets up a solution filtration device to perform three - stage filtration on the packing debris in the MDEA solution, realizing the efficient recycling of the MDEA solution, improving the economic efficiency of the system operation, and achieving the beneficial effect of long - term stable operation. (3) During normal production, in addition to absorbing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, the MDEA solution can also react with other acidic compounds existing in the system to form heat - stable salts. These heat - stable salts are not easily resolved under stripping conditions and will cause solution foaming, packing corrosion, and equipment corrosion, resulting in an increase in the consumption of the MDEA solution. Therefore, the present invention sets up a solution desalting device to remove the heat - stable salts in the MDEA solution, realizing the efficient recycling of the MDEA solution, improving the economic efficiency of the system operation, and achieving the beneficial effect of long - term stable operation.

After the carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the mixed gas are absorbed by the solution A and B, a gas-liquid mixture is formed and enters the upper liquid-phase inlet of the Normal Desorption and Stripping Tower; carbon monoxide flows out from the top gas-phase outlet of Absorption Tower I, is cooled by Heat Exchanger I, and then enters Gas-Liquid Separator I. After separating trace moisture in Gas-Liquid Separator I, it is sent to a device outside the system; (2)The gas-liquid mixture entering the Normal Desorption and Stripping Tower from the upper liquid-phase inlet of the Normal Desorption and Stripping Tower moves downward.
