[0016] Please refer to Figure 1, in the embodiments of the present invention, a system for producing ammonium sulfite using an ammonium sulfate complex of electrolytic manganese includes a drum high-temperature drying device 1. The ammonium sulfate complex of electrolytic manganese is put into the drum high-temperature drying device 1 and dried to remove moisture at 150°C. Under the drying condition of 150°C, some oxidation reactions may occur to the ammonium sulfate complex of electrolytic manganese. Manganese may be oxidized by oxygen in the air to form low-valent oxides such as MnO, and ammonium sulfate will decompose to a certain extent at 150°C. Ammonium sulfate will gradually decompose to produce ammonia and ammonium bisulfate. Therefore, the drying time should not be too long and should be controlled within a relatively short time. The drum high-temperature drying device 1 is provided with a raw material inlet 2 and a drying gas pipeline 3. The drying gas pipeline 3 is discharged from the raw material inlet 2 and collected for treatment in a three-stage electrostatic precipitator 8. The ammonium sulfate complex of electrolytic manganese output by the drum high-temperature drying device 1 is sent to a crushing device 6 through a hoist 4. The ammonium sulfate complex of electrolytic manganese output by the crushing device 6 is sent to an anaerobic calcination furnace 7. The dried mixture is crushed and screened to 50 meshes through the crushing device 6 so that the heat pyrolysis during anaerobic calcination is uniform. The mixture is sent to the anaerobic calcination furnace 7 for anaerobic calcination decomposition at 550 - 600°C for 0.2 - 2 hours. The rear end of the furnace of the anaerobic calcination furnace 7 is connected to the three-stage electrostatic precipitator 8. MnO is calcined at 550 - 600°C under anaerobic conditions to produce manganese tetroxide and a small amount of oxygen. The reaction formula is as follows: Manganese tetroxide can be recycled; NH4HSO4 decomposes upon heating to ammonia and sulfuric acid That is: NH4HSO4 → NH3↑ + H2SO4; Since the temperature is 550 - 600°C, sulfuric acid will further decompose into sulfur trioxide and water H2SO4 → SO3↑ + H2O; The overall reaction equation is: NH4HSO4 → NH3↑ + SO3↑ + H2O; SO3↑ is unstable under high-temperature conditions and will undergo a decomposition reaction to form. The anaerobic calcination furnace 7 in the calcination environment of 550 - 600°C is sufficient to satisfy the high-temperature decomposition of sulfur trioxide to produce sulfur dioxide and oxygen; That is: 2SO3 → 2SO2 + O2; The tail gas is sent into the multi-stage absorption and conversion tower through the tail gas pipeline 9 after being dust-removed by the three-stage electrostatic precipitator 8. The sulfur dioxide gas, after being purified by the three-stage electrostatic precipitator 8, meets the reaction requirements. The conversion liquid and the absorption completion liquid after passing through the multi-stage absorption and conversion tower are sent into the evaporation equipment 22. The concentrated liquid output by the evaporation equipment 22 is processed by the cooling crystallization equipment 20 to form crystal slurry. There is a conveying pipeline 14 between the evaporation equipment 22 and the crystallization equipment 20 for cooling crystallization or evaporation crystallization. For cooling crystallization, the solution is generally cooled to 10-20 °C to precipitate ammonium sulfite crystals; for evaporation crystallization, under reduced pressure, the solution is heated to evaporate water to promote the crystallization of ammonium sulfite, and the crystallization time is generally 3-6 hours. The crystal slurry is separated by the separation equipment 24 to obtain ammonium nitrite. The cooling crystallization equipment 20 is connected to the separation equipment 24 through the crystal slurry pipeline 23. The crystallized mixed liquid is sent into a centrifuge for solid-liquid separation to obtain ammonium sulfite crystals. The solid output end of the separation equipment 21 is connected to the product pipeline 21.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the multi-stage absorption and conversion tower consists of a spray tower a10, a spray tower b16, a spray tower c18, a series pipeline 12 and an absorbent pipeline 17. The tail gas outlet of the spray tower a10 is connected to the tail gas inlet of the spray tower b16 through the series pipeline 12. The tail gas outlet of the spray tower b16 is connected to the tail gas inlet of the spray tower c18 through the series pipeline 12. The absorption liquid of the spray tower c18 is transported to the spray tower b16 through the absorbent pipeline 17. The absorption liquid of the spray tower b16 is transported to the spray tower a10 through the absorbent pipeline 17. The tail gas after dust removal treatment is sent into the multi-stage absorption and conversion tower through the tail gas pipeline 9. The spray tower a10, the spray tower b16 and the spray tower c18 are connected in series. Absorbents are sprayed in the spray tower a10, the spray tower b16 and the spray tower c18, and the tail gas is successively absorbed. The rear end of the spray tower c18 is connected to a tail gas treatment device and an exhaust device. The three spray towers continuously spray and wash. After the ammonium sulfite concentration in the spray tower a10 reaches 80 g / L, it is discharged to the evaporation equipment 22 for low-temperature evaporation. The absorption liquid in the spray tower b16 is pumped into the spray tower a10, the absorption liquid in the spray tower c18 is pumped into the spray tower b16, and a new absorbent is added to the spray tower c18 for reaction. The qualified liquid is discharged from the spray tower 1. After the qualified liquid is discharged, it enters a low-temperature evaporation crystallizer for evaporation crystallization. The produced pure water is used to prepare the absorbent. The solid product is dried and then packaged, which is the target product of this time.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the conversion liquid and the absorption completion liquid output by the spray tower a10 are sent into the evaporation equipment 22 through the completion liquid pipeline 15. The mother liquor output by the separation equipment 24 is sent into the evaporation equipment 22 through the mother liquor pipeline 19.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, absorbent addition pipelines 13 are provided on spray tower a10, spray tower b16 and spray tower c18. Spray devices are arranged inside spray tower a10, spray tower b16 and spray tower c18. The absorbent and the absorption liquid are evenly sprayed inside the spray towers by spraying. The absorbent is ammonia water. 8 moles of ammonia water are added to spray tower a10, 6 moles of ammonia water are added to spray tower b16, and 4 moles of ammonia water are added to spray tower c18. The absorption liquid formed in spray tower c18 is sent to spray tower b16, and the absorption liquid formed in spray tower b16 is sent to spray tower a10.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the tail gas output end of spray tower c18 is communicated with the tail gas pipeline 9 by arranging a tail gas reflux pipeline 11 to recycle and convert the unabsorbed sulfur dioxide.
