AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot effectively remove harmful substances such as arsenic compounds and heavy metals from the waste gas generated during the sulfuric acid production process from pyrite, leading to environmental pollution and health hazards.
The process employs a cyclone dust collector to separate dust, an acid washing device to remove fluorine-containing compounds, a photocatalytic reaction device to remove heavy metals, and an alkaline washing device to remove sulfur-containing compounds. The waste gas is treated through a tiered purification method, and a specific reaction is carried out using a Pt/TiO2 photocatalyst and lime slurry.
It achieves the gradual removal of various harmful substances in the exhaust gas, meets emission standards, and recovers Fe2O3 dust and fluorosilicate products. The by-products are used for nitrogen fertilizer production, realizing resource reuse.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste gas treatment technology, and in particular to a method for treating sulfur-containing waste gas. Background Technology
[0002] Sulfuric acid production from pyrite (mainly FeS2) is a traditional process in industrial sulfuric acid production, which generates various waste gases. These waste gases contain sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide, arsenic trioxide, hydrogen fluoride, and heavy metals such as lead and mercury. If these gases are emitted directly without effective treatment, they will cause serious harm to the atmospheric environment, ecosystems, and human health.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN115624851B discloses a process and apparatus for treating tail gas from electronic-grade sulfuric acid production, including a waste gas tank, an ammonia storage tank, and multiple absorption tanks. The waste gas in the waste gas tank and the ammonia in the ammonia storage tank flow sequentially through the multiple absorption tanks. After a preset time, the pH value H of the ammonia after absorbing the waste gas in the lower part of the absorption tank is obtained to determine the absorption effect of the ammonia on sulfur dioxide in the waste gas. The desulfurization effect of the ammonia is ensured by adjusting the height of the spray assembly. Although the above invention can ensure the desulfurization effect of the ammonia by adjusting the height of the spray assembly, it cannot effectively remove harmful substances such as arsenic compounds and heavy metals from the waste gas. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for treating sulfur-containing waste gas, which has the effect of tiered purification of various harmful substances in the waste gas.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution, including the following steps:
[0006] (1) The waste gas generated during the production process is sent to a cyclone dust collector to separate the dust particles in the waste gas;
[0007] (2) Pass the waste gas obtained in step (1) into the acid washing device to remove the fluorine-containing compounds in the waste gas;
[0008] (3) Pass the waste gas obtained in step (2) into a photocatalytic reaction device to remove heavy metal impurities from the waste gas;
[0009] (4) Pass the waste gas obtained in step (3) into an alkaline washing device to remove sulfur-containing compounds from the waste gas;
[0010] (5) The exhaust gas discharged from the alkaline washing device in step (4) meets the emission standards.
[0011] A further provision of the present invention is that the acid detergent used in the pickling apparatus is water.
[0012] A further provision of the present invention is that the acidic detergent also includes lime milk.
[0013] A further feature of the present invention is that the photocatalytic reaction device uses a Pt / TiO2 photocatalyst.
[0014] A further feature of the present invention is that the photocatalytic reaction device uses an ultraviolet lamp with a wavelength of 254 nm.
[0015] A further provision of the present invention is that the alkaline detergent used in the alkaline washing device is ammonia.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0017] 1. This invention treats sulfur-containing waste gas generated during the production of sulfuric acid from pyrite using a classified removal and tiered purification method. On the one hand, it can sequentially remove Fe2O3 dust, arsenic compounds, fluorine compounds, heavy metal impurities, and sulfur compounds from the waste gas, ensuring that the treated waste gas meets environmental protection requirements. On the other hand, the Fe2O3 dust recovered by the cyclone dust collector can be used as raw material for iron smelting or as pigment. In the acid washing device, SiF4 reacts with water to generate H2SiF6 (fluorosilicic acid), which can be further processed into fluorosilicate products. The by-products generated by the ammonia desulfurization process in the alkaline washing device can be used to make nitrogen fertilizer, thereby achieving the purpose of resource recycling and reuse.
[0018] 2. This invention, by adding lime milk to an acidic detergent, can convert As2O3 into a sparingly soluble Ca3(AsO4)2 precipitate, thereby enabling the removal of arsenic compounds while acid washing the waste gas with water to remove fluorine-containing compounds.
[0019] 3. This invention can remove heavy metals such as Hg and Pb from waste gas by using Pt / TiO2 photocatalyst. Detailed Implementation
