Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chemical engineering, and particularly relates to a method for catalytically cracking organic waste sulfuric acid at low temperature. Background Art

[0002] Organic waste sulfuric acid is a viscous colloidal liquid with a dark red color. It has unstable properties, emits a special odor, and is difficult to treat. The sulfuric acid concentration in waste sulfuric acid is generally relatively low, while the content of organic impurities is relatively high. The organic substances mainly include high-molecular olefins, dienes, quinone organic substances, polycyclic aromatic organic substances, alkyl sulfonic acids, sulfuric acid esters, and sulfides (hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, etc.) dissolved therein, with more than 300 monomer types. Organic waste sulfuric acid has a wide range of sources. For example, in nitrification, sulfonation, and alkylation chemical fiber enterprises, more or less a certain amount of waste sulfuric acid will be generated in industries that use sulfuric acid in industry.

[0003] Traditional methods for treating organic waste sulfuric acid generally use pyrolysis. That is, the waste sulfuric acid is introduced into a cracking furnace and heated at a high temperature. It is cracked into SO2 at 1000 - 1100 °C, oxidized to SO3, and then sulfuric acid is obtained after absorption. The disadvantages of this method are: (a) In a high-temperature, strong acid and strong oxidizing environment, the equipment is easily corroded; (b) High-temperature reaction is required, with high energy consumption and high operating costs; (c) It requires a large floor area, has a complex process, a huge one-time investment, strong corrosivity of waste sulfuric acid, and high transportation risks, and is not suitable for the treatment of organic waste sulfuric acid by small and medium-sized enterprises.

[0004] Sodium percarbonate, with the chemical formula 2Na2CO3·3H2O2, is an addition compound of hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate, commonly known as solid hydrogen peroxide, also known as explosion salt. Sodium percarbonate is a white crystalline granule with a boiling point of 333.6 °C and has strong oxidizing properties. It is easily decomposed into oxygen when exposed to moisture. Therefore, attention should be paid to moisture-proof during its storage, and it should be stored separately from strong reducing agents, etc. Sodium percarbonate has the advantages of being non-toxic, odorless, and pollution-free, and has characteristics such as bleaching, sterilization, washing, and good water solubility.

[0005] Since sodium percarbonate decomposes in water to produce oxygen, it can be used for oxygenation in aquaculture. When placed in a fishpond, it can provide oxygen for aquatic organisms. Additionally, when sodium percarbonate is mixed with a solid containing polyvinyl alcohol and a catalyst such as any compound of Cu, Fe, Co, Mn, etc., it can be used for emergency oxygen supply. Utilizing the strong oxidizing property of sodium percarbonate, it can be used for the removal of pollutants in water bodies. CN2015100580073 reported adding solid sodium percarbonate powder to a contaminated groundwater solution containing benzene derivatives (BTEX), then adding ferrous sulfate to activate the oxidant, and simultaneously adding a chelating agent to enhance the activation effect; achieving the oxidative removal of BTEX in contaminated groundwater. CN2023107757863 reported mixing MnO2@Fe nanozyme and sodium percarbonate powder for the rapid removal of organic pollutants in water bodies. CN2023113487467 reported adding appropriate amounts of sodium percarbonate and formic acid to wastewater containing Cr(III)-EDTA, stirring and dissolving, and then introducing ozone. Through the advanced oxidation-reduction method of ozone / sodium percarbonate / formic acid, the rapid breaking of the chromium complex and the reduction of hexavalent chromium in the wastewater were achieved. CN2022102416302 reported a denture cleaning tablet that uses sodium percarbonate as an oxidation and sterilization component. When it encounters water, it releases a large amount of active oxygen and has excellent deodorizing effects.

[0006] Activated carbon is a porous carbon material obtained through high-temperature carbonization and activation processes. It has a highly developed pore structure and a large specific surface area, thus possessing excellent adsorption performance and certain catalytic properties. Activated carbon is usually prepared from raw materials such as wood, coal, and fruit shells. It appears as black granular or powdered, non-toxic, odorless, and has good chemical stability.

[0074] The UV spectral test results of Examples 1-5 are as Figure 3 shown: Through the analysis of the data in the figure, it is found that the treatment effect for high-concentration sulfuric acid is very excellent.

[0075] The UV spectral test results of Examples 5-8 are as Figure 4 shown: Through the analysis of the data in the figure, it is determined that when there is no activated carbon, the optimal dosage of sodium percarbonate is 0.5 g.

[0076] The UV spectral test results of Examples 8-12 are as Figure 5 shown: Through the analysis of the data in the figure, it is determined that the optimal treatment temperature is 50 °C - 100 °C.

[0077] Under the preferred conditions (mass percentage concentration of sulfuric acid is 80%, dosage of sodium percarbonate is 0.5 g, treatment temperature is 75 °C, that is, Example 12), the kinetic curve of sodium percarbonate treating organic waste sulfuric acid is as Figure 6 shown: Through the analysis of the data in the figure, it is determined that the optimal reaction time is 33 min.
