Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flue gas desulfurization technology, specifically to a flue gas desulfurization composite enhancer and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, coal-fired power plants widely adopt limestone-gypsum wet desulfurization technology to control sulfur dioxide emissions. However, this technology faces numerous challenges in actual operation: First, the widespread use of high-sulfur coal leads to SO2 concentrations in flue gas far exceeding design values, rendering traditional desulfurization systems inefficient and unable to meet ultra-low emission requirements; second, the slow dissolution rate of limestone and large pH fluctuations in the slurry easily cause equipment scaling and blockage, increasing maintenance costs; furthermore, existing desulfurization synergists are mostly single-component, which, while improving local reaction efficiency, suffer from poor synergy and insufficient temperature adaptability. To address these issues, current technology urgently needs a composite synergist, combining organic acids, inorganic salts, surfactants, and buffers to improve limestone dissolution rate, SO2 absorption efficiency, and system stability.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN104289096A discloses a high-efficiency wet desulfurization enhancer. The components and weight percentages of the enhancer are as follows: citric acid: 20-70%; DBA: 10-40%; nano-calcium sulfate: 1-5%; magnesium sulfate: 2-7%; nano-manganese sulfate: 1-5%. The wet flue gas desulfurization enhancer provided by this invention is a composite desulfurization enhancer. It can improve the desulfurization efficiency of the desulfurization system without upgrading the system capacity. However, the desulfurization efficiency needs to be further improved.

[0082] Table 1 Data Test Table
[0083]
[0084] As can be seen from Table 1, the desulfurization composite synergist prepared in Examples 4-6 of this invention can effectively improve the desulfurization effect in the treatment process, with a desulfurization efficiency of over 99%.
[0085] The surfactant prepared in this application comprises a hydrophobic portion composed of long-chain alkyl groups, a polyhydroxy structure formed by the ring-opening of gluconolactone, and a hydrophilic portion of quaternized amine groups. The long-chain alkyl groups in the molecule enhance the directional adsorption capacity at the liquid-gas or liquid-solid interface, effectively reducing the surface tension of the slurry and promoting the dispersion and mass transfer of SO2 gas in the slurry. The polyhydroxy structure derived from gluconolactone has strong hydrophilicity, which can improve the wetting effect of the desulfurization synergist. The quaternary ammonium salt group imparts positive charge to the molecule, making it easy to adsorb onto the surface of negatively charged sulfide particles or bubbles, enriching reactants through micellization, increasing local concentration, and accelerating the dissolution and oxidation reaction kinetics of SO2. The siloxane alkyl groups can enhance the anchoring ability of the molecule on the particle surface, forming a stable interfacial layer and maintaining the durability of the desulfurization reaction interface. In summary, this surfactant, through the synergistic optimization of multiple structures, significantly improves the SO2 absorption efficiency and oxidation rate, enabling it to achieve a desulfurization efficiency of over 99% when applied to limestone-gypsum wet flue gas desulfurization.
