Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of purification and processing of sulfur-containing solid wastes such as sulfur paste, sulfur cake, and sulfur slag, and in particular to a sulfur purification method and device for sulfur-containing solid wastes. Background Art

[0002] Sulfur, a fundamental raw material for modern industry, plays a key role in sulfuric acid production in the chemical industry (accounting for over 70% of global sulfuric acid production). It is used in the metallurgical industry for sulfide ore flotation and precious metal purification. It is a key component in the pesticide industry for the preparation of organosulfur fungicides such as mancozeb. In the rubber industry, it dominates the supply of vulcanizing agents for the vulcanization process. The fuel industry uses it in the production of sulfur-based additives, and the paper industry is indispensable in the kraft pulping process. According to the 2024 "China Chemical Industry Yearbook," my country's annual sulfur consumption has exceeded 18 million tons and is increasing at an average annual rate of 5%. However, domestic sulfur production only meets 35% of demand, with annual imports remaining stable at over 12 million tons. China's external dependence has long been above 60%, primarily relying on natural gas by-product sulfur imports from the Middle East and North America.

[0003] With the massive development of sour crude oil and natural gas resources worldwide, sulfur recovery units have become indispensable equipment for large-scale coal chemical plants, natural gas purification plants, refineries, and petrochemical plants processing coal, sour natural gas, and sour crude oil. These units utilize wet desulfurization technology to produce crude sulfur as a byproduct. However, coke oven gas contains large amounts of coal tar, ash, and other substances, which enter the crude sulfur. This results in a low sulfur content and a black color, making it unsuitable for direct industrial use and of low value. Furthermore, the recovered crude sulfur cannot be directly marketed and is expensive to process. Further purification is required to meet industrial production needs.

[0004] In the Chinese invention patent with patent application number 202210255786.6, a method for recycling and utilizing coke oven gas wet desulfurization resources is specifically disclosed. Sulfur-containing solid waste is purified by hot melting, filtration, and distillation to obtain more than 99.95% of industrial high-quality sulfur.

[0027] Example 1: like Figure 1 As shown, a method for purifying sulfur from sulfur-containing solid waste comprises the following steps: Step a: Pre-treat sulfur-containing solid waste using a three-stage crushing and screening system: First, crush the lumpy solid waste to a particle size of ≤50mm using a jaw crusher, then crush it to ≤10mm using a cone crusher, and finally use a vibrating screen for particle size classification, requiring the undersize material to have a particle size of ≤2mm and a proportion of ≥95%. The screened material is conveyed to a jacketed melting reactor, where the temperature is controlled at 150±5°C using electric heating. This temperature setting is based on the physicochemical properties of elemental sulfur (melting point 115.21°C) and most metal sulfides. It ensures that the elemental sulfur is fully melted while avoiding the generation of harmful gases at high temperatures. The reactor is equipped with a stirring device with a speed controlled at 60r / min, ensuring uniform melting of the material within 90 minutes. Step b: The molten material (sulfur-containing waste liquid) is conveyed to a horizontal spiral centrifuge through a screw conveyor (the filtration and separation of the sulfur-containing waste liquid in this embodiment is not limited to the horizontal spiral centrifuge, and any equipment that meets the requirements of the filtration and separation of the sulfur-containing waste liquid in this application falls within the scope of protection of this application). The speed is set to 3000 r / min and the centrifugal field strength is 2000 G to achieve effective separation of the solid and liquid phases. The separated sulfur-containing liquid (sulfur content ≥ 65%) enters the intermediate buffer tank, and the waste residue (mainly containing silicates and metal oxides) is conveyed to the waste residue temporary storage area for subsequent stabilization treatment. The buffer tank is equipped with an electric heating and insulation device to maintain a temperature of 130°C to prevent the sulfur liquid from solidifying. At the same time, a liquid level sensor is configured for interlocking control with the first sulfur pump to ensure continuous feeding in subsequent work sections. Step c: The sulfur-containing liquid is subjected to a gradient heating treatment in two stages: the first stage uses a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with thermal oil as the heat medium to raise the material temperature to 250±3°C. This stage mainly removes low-boiling point impurities (such as water vapor and light hydrocarbons) and lasts for 40 minutes; the second stage is transferred to a thin film evaporator with a vacuum system, and the temperature is raised to 350°C under an absolute pressure of 10 kPa and maintained for 60 minutes. The vacuum environment lowers the boiling point of sulfur (the boiling point of sulfur is 444.6°C at atmospheric pressure) and simultaneously causes heavy metal sulfides to gradually precipitate at this temperature. During the holding period, a scraping device (rotating at 80 rpm) is activated to prevent scaling and enhance heat transfer efficiency. Step d: The material at 350°C is transferred to a distillation kettle via a plunger pump and subjected to a gradient temperature increase process: the temperature is first increased to 420°C within 30 minutes to decompose the polysulfides, and then the temperature is further increased to 450±2°C. At this time, the elemental sulfur is converted into sulfur vapor (molecular form) and enters the condensation system. The sulfur-containing waste residue (mainly metal sulfate) generated during the distillation process is regularly discharged from the bottom of the kettle, quenched by water, and then sent to step b for reuse; Step e: The sulfur vapor enters the tube condenser and adopts a staged condensation process: the cooling medium in the front stage is 120℃ thermal oil (to prevent direct solidification of sulfur vapor), so that the sulfur vapor is initially cooled to liquid sulfur (temperature is about 160℃); Step f: The initially cooled liquid sulfur is then transported to a drum-type cooling slicer. Cooling water circulates inside the drum of the device. The liquid sulfur is evenly spread on the drum surface under the action of gravity. Upon contact with the low-temperature drum, it solidifies rapidly into sulfur sheets with a thickness of about 3 mm in a very short time. Among them, in step f, when the liquid sulfur to be cooled is initially cooled after being transported to the drum-type cooling slicer, it always exchanges heat with the cooling medium (initial cooling liquid) newly input into the slicer which always maintains the lowest temperature.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the existing sulfur purification processing method, the purified sulfur liquid is mostly cooled and sliced ​​to achieve the purpose of rapid cooling, solidification, and slicing of the sulfur liquid for output. However, due to the limitations of the existing cooling and slicing technology, when the sulfur liquid is evenly spread on the surface of the drum under the action of gravity, it cannot be guaranteed that the sulfur liquid is always subjected to heat exchange cooling with the cooling initial liquid (the reason for this is that the drum inside the cooling and slicing equipment is always rotating, and the input port of the flow channel inside the drum is always in a changing state as the drum rotates). As a result, within the same cooling path and cooling time, part of the sulfur liquid can be cooled to solidification, while part of the sulfur liquid only solidifies on the surface. The conventional solution is to increase the diameter of the drum, extend the cooling path and cooling time of the sulfur on the drum, and thus ensure that the sulfur is completely solidified. This also leads to an increase in the volume of the cooling slicer and a decrease in processing efficiency.

[0029] Example 2: like Figure 2-Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for the sulfur purification method of sulfur-containing solid waste described in Example 1, comprising a waste hopper 1, a material conveyor 2, a sulfur melting kettle 3, a filtering device 4, a buffer tank 5, a first heating kettle 6, a second heating kettle 7, a distillation kettle 8, a condenser 9, a sulfur storage tank 10, a slicer 11, and a conveyor belt 12; The waste hopper 1 stores sulfur-containing solid waste particles, and the lifting conveyor 2 lifts the sulfur-containing solid waste particles to the quantitative feeder on the top of the sulfur melting kettle 3. The sulfur melting kettle 3 receives the sulfur-containing solid waste particles supplied by the waste hopper 1 for heating and melting. The liquid outlet of the sulfur melting kettle 3 is connected to the feed port of the filtering device 4 through a first sulfur pump 31 and a pipeline. The filtering device 4 filters the sulfur-containing waste liquid output by the sulfur melting kettle 3. A slag storage tank 41 for storing waste slag is provided below the slag outlet of the filtering device 4. The buffer tank 5 buffers the separated sulfur-containing liquid. The buffer tank 5 is connected to the first temperature rising kettle 6 through a third sulfur pump 51 and a pipeline. The first temperature rising kettle 6 is connected to the first temperature rising kettle 6 through a third sulfur pump 51 and a pipeline. The warming kettle 6 and the second warming kettle 7 sequentially perform two-stage temperature raising treatment on the sulfur-containing liquid. The distillation kettle 8 performs distillation and purification treatment on the heated sulfur-containing liquid. The waste residue outlet of the distillation kettle 8 is connected to the feed port of the filtering device 4 via a waste residue pump 81 and a pipeline. The condenser 9 water-cools the distilled sulfur vapor. The sulfur storage tank 10 stores the cooled pure sulfur liquid. The liquid outlet of the sulfur storage tank 10 is connected to the liquid inlet 110 at the top of the slicer 11 via a second sulfur pump 101 and a pipeline. The slicer 11 slices the pure sulfur liquid after cooling it into a solid. The conveyor belt 12 outputs the sliced ​​sulfur fragments.

[0030] It should be noted that in Example 1, the structures of the molten sulfur kettle 3, the filtering equipment 4, the buffer tank 5, the first heating kettle 6, the second heating kettle 7, the distillation kettle 8 and the condenser 9 have been explained and will not be repeated here.

[0031] This embodiment focuses on the creative improvements of the present application for slicing. In some embodiments, as a preferred embodiment, the structure of the slicer 11 includes a housing 111, a cooling drum 112, a cutter 113, a heating coil 114 and a driving device 115; The top of the housing 111 is provided with a liquid inlet 110 for inputting liquid sulfur, and the bottom of the housing 111 is provided with a drain port 116 (for discharging the sulfur remaining inside the housing). The drain port 116 is connected to the sulfur storage tank 10 through a pipeline (the discharged sulfur is returned to the sulfur storage tank 10 and condensed again). A discharge port 117 is provided on one side of the housing 111 for discharging the solidified and cut solid sulfur. The cooling drum 112 is rotatably disposed in the housing 111. A cooling channel 1120 for flowing a cooling medium is provided in the cooling drum 112. The outer wall of the cooling drum 112 is paved with the pure sulfur liquid input from the liquid inlet 110. The cooling drum 112 rotates from the liquid inlet 110 to the discharge port 117. The cutter 113 is disposed at the discharge port 117 . The cutter 113 is disposed in contact with the outer wall of the cooling drum 112 , and the cutter 113 scrapes off the pure sulfur solids on the cooling drum 112 . The cutter 113 is disposed at an angle, with the top end contacting the cooling drum 112 and the bottom end being located at the discharge port 117 . The heating coil 114 is provided at the bottom of the housing 111. A heating medium flows in the heating coil 114. The function of the heating coil 114 is to melt the sulfur remaining in the housing 111 again for easy output and reuse. The driving device 115 is arranged outside the housing 111, and the driving device 115 drives the cooling drum 112 to roll. The driving device 115 adopts a motor and a belt transmission method.

[0032] In some embodiments, as preferred, the cooling drum 112 includes a rotating shaft 1121, an outer cylinder 1122, an inner cylinder 1123 and a planetary gear set 1124; Both ends of the rotating shaft 1121 are rotatably mounted on the housing 111. The rotating shaft 1121 is driven to rotate by the driving device 115. The two ends of the rotating shaft 1121 are respectively provided with a cooling medium inlet 11211 and a cooling medium outlet 11212 that are in communication with the cooling channel 1120. The cooling medium inlet 11211 and the cooling medium outlet 11212 are respectively connected to an external cooling water circulation system. The cooling water circulation system cools the cooling water after the heat exchange and then re-inputs it into the slicer to participate in the operation. The outer cylinder 1122 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 1121, and the outer cylinder 1122 and the rotating shaft 1121 are connected by a planetary gear set 1124. The outer cylinder 1122 rotates in the opposite direction as the rotating shaft 1121 rotates. The specific planetary gear set 1124 includes a central gear 11241, planetary gears 11242 and a ring gear 11243. The central gear 11241 is coaxially sleeved with the rotating shaft 1121, and the planetary gears 11242 are installed on the side wall of the housing 111. The planetary gears 11242 can rotate with the rotation of the central gear 11241, but the planetary gears 11242 rotate around the central gear 11241. The revolution freedom is locked, the ring gear 11243 is installed on the side wall of the outer cylinder 1122, and the ring gear 11243 is arranged around the planetary gear 11242. Therefore, the working process of the planetary gear set 1124 becomes the rotation of the rotating shaft 1121, which drives the central gear 11241 to rotate, and the central gear 11241 drives the planetary gear 11242 to rotate. Then, the planetary gear 11242 drives the ring gear 11243 to rotate coaxially with the central gear 11241 and in the opposite direction. That is, the outer cylinder 1122 and the rotating shaft 1121 rotate coaxially and in the opposite direction. The gear ratio of the central gear 11241 and the ring gear 11243 is 1:N, where N is a natural integer other than 0. The inner cylinder 1123 is coaxially arranged inside the outer cylinder 1122. The inner cylinder 1123 cooperates with the inner side wall of the outer cylinder 1122 to form a cooling channel 1120, and a plurality of permanent magnets 11231 are provided at both ends of the inner cylinder 1123. A magnet 11221 corresponding to the permanent magnet 11231 is fixedly mounted on the inner side wall of the casing 111 (as a non-limiting embodiment of the magnet 11221, the magnet 11221 can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet). The rotational freedom of the inner cylinder 1123 is locked by the magnetic attraction between the permanent magnet 11231 and the magnet 11221, so that the inner cylinder is in a fixed state relative to the outer cylinder. Since the inner cylinder 1123 is fixed, and a plurality of partition plates 11232 are raised on the outer side wall of the inner cylinder 1123, the partition plates 11232 divide the cooling channel 1120 into a plurality of cooling channels located in the middle. The top of the inner tube 1123 is provided with a liquid inlet pipe 11233 connecting the top of the cooling zone 11201 and the liquid inlet zone 11202, and the top of the inner tube 1123 is provided with a liquid outlet pipe 11234 connecting the bottom of the cooling zone 11201 and the liquid outlet zone 11203. With the flow channel 1120 fixed, the circulating cooling water flows from the cooling medium inlet 11211 to the liquid inlet area 11202, and then enters the cooling area 11201 through the liquid inlet pipe 11233. The cooling water in the cooling area 11201 flows to the liquid outlet pipe 11234, reaches the liquid outlet area 11203 through the liquid outlet pipe 11234, and is finally discharged outward through the cooling medium outlet 11212 through the liquid outlet area 11203, thereby completing the cycle.

[0033] Example 3: like Figure 7 、 10As shown in Figure 11, in some preferred embodiments, since the liquid inlet pipe 11233 needs to transport the cooling water to the top of the outer cylinder, thereby forming an effect of heat exchange between the sulfur liquid just laid on the outer wall of the outer cylinder and the latest input cooling water with the lowest temperature, this also leads to the liquid inlet pipe 11233 can only rely on the pumping pressure of the cooling water to press the cooling water into the cooling zone 11201, forming a problem of difficult cooling water flow. Therefore, the innovative liquid inlet pipe 11233 is provided with a piston extrusion unit 11235 driven by the rotating shaft 1121 corresponding to each cooling zone 11201, and the piston extrusion unit 11235 squeezes the cooling medium in the liquid inlet pipe 11233 into the cooling zone 11201. Specifically, the piston extrusion unit 11235 consists of a piston cylinder 11236 and a piston 11237, a crank-connecting rod 11238 and a crank 11239. The piston cylinder 11236 is arranged below the liquid inlet pipe 11233 and is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 11233. The piston 11237 is slidably arranged in the piston cylinder 11236. The crank-connecting rod 11238 is hinged below the piston 11237, and the crank 11239 is arranged on the rotating shaft 1121. The crank-connecting rod 11238 is hinged to the crank 11239. As the rotating shaft 1121 rotates, the piston extrusion unit 11235 continuously pushes, squeezes and transports the cooling water in the liquid inlet pipe 11233 to the corresponding cooling zone 11201. At the same time, with the pumping pressure of the liquid inlet pipe 11233 itself, the effect of quickly transporting cooling water to the cooling zone 11201 is achieved, thereby ensuring the fluidity of the cooling water in the cooling zone 11201.

[0034] Furthermore, a guide baffle 11220 is protruding from the inner wall of the outer tube 1122 into the cooling zone 11201, and a guide hole 11222 is provided at the root where the guide baffle 11220 is connected to the outer tube 1122, so that the cooling water in the cooling zone 11201 first flows along the inner wall of the cooling zone 11201 close to the outer tube 1122, thereby ensuring the cooling temperature on the outer tube 1122 and further improving the cooling speed on the outer tube 1122.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
