Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an ammonia recovery and acid gas release system and method, and more specifically, to a purification wastewater ammonia recovery and acid gas release system and method, belonging to the field of petrochemical industry. Background Art
[0002] The process of producing anhydrous ammonia by the phosphoric ammonium method originated from the Phosame method developed by the United States Steel Corporation in the 1950s, and is commonly used in steel mills and coking plants in China. The domestic phosphoric ammonium process technology is relatively mature in the steel industry, but there are few practices in the coal-to-hydrogen industry. The processes of ammonia recovery, stripping, absorption, desorption, and rectification for the ammonia-containing wastewater generated by the coal-to-hydrogen purification device to recover the ammonia component in the wastewater to produce pure industrial-grade liquid ammonia or ammonia water, especially for the wastewater with high levels of complex components such as H2S, CO2, grease, and iron ions, there are few successful cases of ammonia absorption and purification. Among the four major processes of stripping, absorption, desorption, and rectification in the phosphoric ammonium method, stripping, desorption, and rectification are relatively mature, but the ammonia absorption and acid gas release between the absorption and desorption processes are a major problem in the industry. During the trial production of the ammonia recovery project of Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd., due to the large amount of H2S, CO2, grease, iron ions, etc. in the ammonia-containing wastewater, the phosphoric ammonium solution will simultaneously absorb H2S, CO2, iron ions, etc. during the ammonia absorption process. These components cannot be completely removed before the absorption liquid enters the desorption step, resulting in the formation of crystalline substances such as ammonium bicarbonate or iron sulfide by side reactions of pure ammonia, CO2, H2S, and iron ions during the desorption process, greatly affecting the cyclic absorption effect of the absorption liquid, and at the same time causing a large amount of reactants to appear in the production system and unable to operate normally. According to practice, the side reaction problem of the ammonia recovery system is solved by reducing the absorption of acid gas and increasing the release of acid gas in the phosphoric ammonium solution absorption. The acidity of the original 30% phosphoric acid absorption liquid in the absorption section is increased to 35%. Due to the certain repellency of the high-acidity phosphoric ammonium solution to acidic components, the absorption of acidic components can be reduced during the absorption of ammonia in the wastewater. However, due to the particularity of coal gasification wastewater, the wastewater contains a large amount of acidic components such as H2S and CO2, and it is inevitable to entrain and absorb such acidic components during the system operation. According to the physical properties of the diammonium phosphate solution, the acid gas needs to be heated to above 120°C to completely release the acid gas and retain the ammonia to complete the acid gas removal before the desorption process. The industry generally improves the temperature by heat exchange of the absorption liquid and directly supplements steam heating in the deacidification tank for acid gas removal. This method cannot meet the heating temperature during abnormal working conditions, and directly supplementing steam will disrupt the system water balance, resulting in abnormal operation in production. At present, the application of the phosphoric ammonium method absorption in coal chemical industry is extremely unstable, specifically as follows: a large amount of 30% phosphoric ammonium solution absorbs acidic components such as H2S and CO2; the deacidification temperature of the deacidified gas is insufficient, and the deacidification effect is poor, resulting in serious abnormal reaction crystallization and corrosion in the system. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Preferably, the ammonia released is connected to the rectifying tower through a third pipeline from the top of the stripping tower, the absorption solution discharged from the bottom of the stripping tower is mixed with the material pipeline through a fourth pipeline and then enters the upper part of the absorption tower to realize solution circulation, the rectifying tower receives the ammonia from the top of the stripping tower, the fifth pipeline for discharging pure ammonia extends outward from the top of the rectifying tower, and a residual liquid discharge port is provided at the bottom of the rectifying tower.
[0007] A method for releasing ammonia and acid gas from a system for recovering ammonia and releasing acid gas from purified wastewater according to the present invention, the method includes the following steps:
[0008] 1) Obtain 85% phosphoric acid, transport it to the underground tank by a tank truck, and mix it with demineralized water to form a phosphoric acid solution with an acidity of 35%;
[0009] 2) Wastewater stripping: The ammonia-containing wastewater (wastewater from the coal gasification plant) from the original factory exchanges heat with the gas discharged from the top of the stripping tower in the feed heat exchanger and then enters the upper outer discharge pipeline of the stripping tower. Low-pressure steam of 0.55 MPa is introduced into the lower part of the stripping tower as the stripping heat source. The stripping gas at the top of the stripping tower enters the ammonia absorption tower after condensation, and the liquid at the bottom of the stripping tower is pressurized by a stripping water pump and sent to the gasification unit (coal gasification plant) of the original factory;
[0010] 3) Ammonia absorption: After the stripping gas from the top of the stripping column is condensed, both the gas phase and the condensate enter the ammonia absorption column. In the absorption column, they flow upward and directly counter-currently contact the circulating solution and the lean solution respectively. While absorbing ammonia, they are condensed and cooled. The acidic gas leaving the absorption column is sent to outside the battery limit through Pipeline No. 1. The absorption liquid from the bottom of the stripping column enters the upper section of the absorption column for spraying, and then merges with the circulating solution in the lower section to absorb ammonia in the stripping gas together. The circulating solution at the bottom of the absorption column is pumped out by the absorption column circulating pump. Part of it is sent to the rich-lean solution heat exchanger, and part of it is cooled by circulating cooling water in the circulating liquid cooler, and then sent back to each section of the absorption column through the buffer tank and the stripping column for circulating spraying to absorb ammonia and acidic gas in the stripping gas;
[0011] 4) Desorption of phosphoric acid absorption liquid: The rich liquid at the bottom of the absorption column is pumped out by the absorption column circulating pump and sent to the rich-lean solution heat exchanger, where it is heated by the lean liquid from the stripping column and then enters the deacidifier. After heating, the rich liquid flashes in the deacidifier. The ammonia, water vapor and acidic components (such as CO2 and H2S) flashed out are discharged from the top or returned to the stripping gas pipeline in front of the absorption column. The deacidifier is equipped with a heater for introducing steam. When the temperature of the rich liquid does not meet the deacidification requirement, steam can be introduced to indirectly heat the rich liquid to ensure the deacidification effect. The rich liquid in the deacidifier is sent to the stripping column feed preheater by the stripping column feed pump, where it is heated by the ammonia vapor from the stripping column and then enters the upper part of the stripping column, where it contacts the rising gas in the column counter-currently for desorption. The lean liquid at the bottom of the stripping column passes through the rich-lean solution heat exchanger and the lean liquid cooler, is heat-exchanged with the rich liquid and cooled by circulating cooling water respectively, and then enters the upper part of the absorption column. The ammonia vapor at the top of the stripping column is cooled in the stripping column feed preheater and the stripping column cooler and then flows into the ammonia water intermediate tank to form ammonia water in a bubble point state;
[0012] 5) The stripping column is indirectly heated by steam. Medium-pressure steam heats the lean liquid from the stripping column (3) in the stripping column reboiler. The heated lean liquid brings the heat back to the stripping column. The condensate of the medium-pressure steam is sent to the condensate flash tank. The 0.55 MPa steam generated by the flash tank is incorporated into the low-pressure steam network, and the condensate is incorporated into the low-pressure steam condensate network.
[0013] Preferably, it further includes rectification and purification, and the rectification and purification includes: The ammonia water in the ammonia water intermediate tank is sent to the rectification column by the rectification column feed pump. The rectification column adopts an indirect heating method. The ammonia gas generated at the top of the column enters the condenser of the rectification column (4) and is condensed into liquid ammonia by circulating cooling water. The liquid ammonia flows into the reflux tank automatically. Part of the liquid ammonia is sent back to the top of the rectification column as reflux by the product and reflux pump, and the remaining part is directly sent to the liquid ammonia storage tank outside the battery limit. 2.5 MPa medium-pressure steam heats the rectification wastewater from the rectification column in the rectification column reboiler. The heated rectification wastewater brings the heat back to the rectification column. The condensate of the medium-pressure steam is sent to the condensate flash tank.
[0014] Beneficial effects: It effectively solves the unsafe factors brought about by the current operating status and reduces the production and operation costs, which is specifically reflected in the following aspects:
[0015] 1. Originally, 30% acid phosphoric acid was used to absorb ammonia in wastewater, which also absorbed a lot of acidic components such as CO2 and H2S, which were not easy to decompose and remove. By increasing the acidity to 35%, the high acid solution's repulsion to acidic components was used to reduce the absorption of acidic components.
[0016] 2. Originally, the acid removal process was directly adopted to analyze and remove the acid components, but it was not possible to completely remove them, resulting in high-temperature corrosion of the subsequent equipment and serious side reactions. By using a steam heat exchanger or heater to preheat the solution that absorbs the acid components, the acid gas removal temperature can be better reached, the acid gas can be removed safely, and the side reactions and acid corrosion problems can be eliminated.

[0070] A method for releasing ammonia recovery and acid gas release in a wastewater purification system according to the present invention, the method comprising the following steps:
[0071] 1) Obtain 85% phosphoric acid, transport it to the underground tank by tanker truck, and mix it with demineralized water to form a phosphoric acid solution with an acidity of 35%.
[0072] 2) Wastewater stripping: The ammonia-containing wastewater (coal gasification plant wastewater) from the original factory exchanges heat with the top gas discharge of Stripping Tower 1 in the feed heat exchanger and then enters the upper external discharge pipeline of Stripping Tower 1. Low-pressure steam at 0.55 MPa is introduced into the lower part of Stripping Tower 1 as the stripping heat source. The stripping gas at the top of Stripping Tower 1 enters Ammonia Absorption Tower 2 after condensation, and both the gas phase and condensate enter Ammonia Absorption Tower 2. The bottom liquid of Stripping Tower 1 is pressurized by a stripping water pump and sent to the gasification unit (coal gasification plant) of the original factory.
[0073] 3) Ammonia absorption: After the stripping gas at the top of Stripping Tower 1 enters Ammonia Absorption Tower 2 after condensation, the gas phase and condensate enter Ammonia Absorption Tower 2 and directly contact the circulating solution and lean liquid countercurrently from bottom to top inside the absorption tower. Ammonia is absorbed and simultaneously condensed and cooled. The acid gas leaving Absorption Tower 2 is sent to outside the battery limit through Pipeline 1. The absorption liquid from the bottom of Stripping Tower 3 enters the upper section of Absorption Tower 2 for spraying and then converges with the circulating solution in the lower section to absorb ammonia in the stripping gas together. The circulating solution at the bottom of Absorption Tower 2 is pumped out by the Absorption Tower 2 circulating pump. Part of it is sent to the rich-lean liquid heat exchanger, and part of it is cooled by circulating cooling water in the circulating liquid cooler and then sent back to each section of Absorption Tower 2 through the buffer tank and Stripping Tower (3) for circulating spraying to absorb ammonia and acid gas in the stripping gas.
[0074] 4) Desorption of phosphoric acid absorption solution: The rich solution at the bottom of the absorption tower 2 is pumped out by the absorption tower 2 circulation pump, sent to the rich and lean solution heat exchanger, heated by the lean solution from the stripping tower 3, and then enters the deacidifier. After heating, the rich solution flashes in the deacidifier. The ammonia, water vapor and acidic components (such as CO2 and H2S) flashed out are discharged from the top or returned to the stripping gas pipeline before the absorption tower 2. The deacidifier is equipped with a heater for injecting steam. When the temperature of the rich solution does not meet the deacidification requirements, steam can be injected to indirectly heat the rich solution to ensure the deacidification effect. The rich solution in the deacidifier is sent to the stripping tower 3 feed preheater by the stripping tower 3 feed pump, heated by the ammonia vapor from the stripping tower 3, and then enters the upper part of the stripping tower 3, where it contacts the rising gas in the tower countercurrently for desorption. The lean solution at the bottom of the stripping tower 3 passes through the rich and lean solution heat exchanger and the lean solution cooler, exchanges heat with the rich solution and is cooled by the circulating cooling water respectively, and then enters the upper part of the absorption tower 2. The ammonia vapor at the top of the stripping tower 3 is cooled in the stripping tower 3 feed preheater and the stripping tower 3 cooler and then flows into the ammonia water intermediate tank to form ammonia water in a bubble point state;
[0075] 5) The stripping tower 3 is heated indirectly by steam. Medium-pressure steam heats the lean solution from the stripping tower 3 in the stripping tower 3 reboiler. The heated lean solution brings the heat back to the stripping tower 3. The medium-pressure steam condensate is sent to the condensate flash tank. The 0.55 MPa steam generated by the flash tank is incorporated into the low-pressure steam pipe network, and the condensate is incorporated into the low-pressure steam condensate pipe network.
[0076] 6) Rectification and purification: The ammonia water in the ammonia water intermediate tank is sent to the rectification tower 4 by the rectification tower 4 feed pump. The rectification tower 4 adopts an indirect heating method. The ammonia gas generated at the top of the tower enters the rectification tower 4 condenser and is condensed into liquid ammonia by the circulating cooling water. The liquid ammonia flows into the reflux tank by itself. Part of the liquid ammonia is sent back to the top of the rectification tower 4 as reflux by the product and reflux pump, and the remaining part is directly sent to the liquid ammonia storage tank outside the battery limit. 2.5 MPa medium-pressure steam heats the rectification wastewater from the rectification tower 4 in the rectification tower 4 reboiler. The heated rectification wastewater brings the heat back to the rectification tower 4. The medium-pressure steam condensate is sent to the condensate flash tank.
[0077] Furthermore, this application adopts a four-stage heat exchange network (feed heat exchanger - rich and lean solution heat exchanger - stripping tower preheater - rectification reboiler) to realize the cascade utilization of thermal energy, and the steam consumption is reduced by 35% compared with the traditional process. Among them, the steam heat exchanger before the deacidifier adopts a double-tube-pass spiral plate structure, and the heat transfer coefficient reaches 2200 W / (m 2 ·K), while ensuring the deacidification temperature of 140 °C, avoiding the destruction of the system water balance caused by the injection of direct steam.
[0078] Furthermore, the phosphoric acid solution ratio system of this application: Through experimental verification, it is determined that 35% phosphoric acid solution is the optimal ratio concentration (density 1.25 g / cm 3, (pH = 3.8 ± 0.2), under this parameter, while the ammonia absorption efficiency reaches 98.5%, the corrosion rate of 316L stainless steel equipment is controlled below 0.05 mm / a. The supporting automatic acid replenishment system maintains the concentration fluctuation ≤ ±0.5%.
[0079] Furthermore, for the enhancement of gas-liquid mass transfer in this application: The absorption tower is designed with a three-stage sieve plate structure (aperture 8 mm, hole opening rate 18%), and is equipped with a 45° tangential feed distributor, which extends the gas-liquid contact time to 12 seconds, a 30% increase compared to the conventional design. The operating temperature inside the tower is maintained at 60 - 75 °C to ensure that the removal rate of acidic gas (CO2 / H2S) > 99%.

The release method of a purification wastewater ammonia recovery and acid gas release system according to any one of claims 1-2, characterized in that The method includes the following steps: 1) Obtain 85% phosphoric acid, transport it to the underground tank by a tank truck, and mix it with demineralized water to form a phosphoric acid solution with an acidity of 35%. 2) Wastewater stripping: The ammonia-containing wastewater (wastewater from the coal gasification plant) from the original plant exchanges heat with the gas discharged from the top of the stripping tower (1) in the feed heat exchanger and then enters the external discharge pipeline at the upper part of the stripping tower (1). Low-pressure steam at 0.55 MPa is introduced into the lower part of the stripping tower (1) as the stripping heat source. The stripping gas at the top of the stripping tower (1) enters the absorption tower (2) after being condensed, with both the gas phase and the condensate. The liquid at the bottom of the stripping tower (1) is pressurized by a stripping water pump and sent to the gasification unit of the original plant. 3) Ammonia absorption: After the stripping gas at the top of the stripping tower (1) enters the absorption tower (2) with both the gas phase and the condensate after being condensed, it directly contacts the circulating solution and the lean liquid in the absorption tower (2) countercurrently from bottom to top, absorbing ammonia while being condensed and cooled. The acid gas leaving the absorption tower (2) is sent to outside the battery limit through the first pipeline. The absorption liquid from the bottom of the stripping tower (3) enters the upper section of the absorption tower (2) for spraying and then converges with the circulating solution in the lower section to absorb ammonia in the stripping gas together. The circulating solution at the bottom of the absorption tower (2) is pumped out by the absorption tower (2) circulation pump. Part of it is sent to the rich and lean liquid heat exchanger, and part of it is cooled by circulating cooling water in the circulating liquid cooler and then sent back to each section of the absorption tower (2) through the buffer tank and the stripping tower (3) for circulating spraying to absorb ammonia and acid gas in the stripping gas. 4) Desorption of phosphoric acid absorption solution: The rich solution at the bottom of the absorption tower (2) is pumped out by the absorption tower (2) circulation pump, sent to the rich and lean solution heat exchanger, heated by the lean solution from the desorption tower (3), and then enters the deacidifier. The rich solution flashes in the deacidifier after heating. The ammonia, water vapor, and acidic components flashed out are discharged from the top or returned to the stripping gas pipeline before the absorption tower (2). The deacidifier is equipped with a heater (6) for introducing steam. When the temperature of the rich solution does not meet the deacidification requirements, steam can be introduced to indirectly heat the rich solution to ensure the deacidification effect. The rich solution in the deacidifier is sent to the desorption tower (3) feed preheater by the desorption tower (3) feed pump, heated by the ammonia vapor from the desorption tower (3), and then enters the upper part of the desorption tower (3), where it contacts the rising gas in the tower countercurrently for desorption. The lean solution at the bottom of the desorption tower (3) passes through the rich and lean solution heat exchanger and the lean solution cooler, exchanges heat with the rich solution and is cooled by the circulating cooling water respectively, and then enters the upper part of the absorption tower (2). The ammonia vapor at the top of the desorption tower (3) is cooled in the desorption tower (3) feed preheater and the desorption tower (3) cooler and then flows into the ammonia water intermediate tank to form ammonia water in a bubble point state; 5) The desorption tower (3) is heated indirectly by steam. Medium-pressure steam heats the lean solution from the desorption tower (3) in the desorption tower (3) reboiler. The heated lean solution brings the heat back to the desorption tower (3).
