Organic sulfur (such as carbon oxysulfide, carbon disulfide, mercaptan, etc.) is a typical harmful impurity in the industrial synthesis gas, which not only seriously corrodes the production equipment and blocks the process pipelines, but also causes the poisoning and deactivation of downstream synthesis catalysts, greatly reducing the catalytic efficiency and product yield.

[0149] The precursor powder was made into small balls with a particle size of 4-6mm using a disc-type rolling ball machine, and the small balls were calcined at 535℃ for 4h to obtain a sulfur removal agent.

[0152] The pseudo-boehmite is produced by Ningbo Juxin Nano New Material Technology Co., Ltd., and the model number is JWN-AN-GN11;
[0153] The method for removing organic sulfur in industrial synthesis gas by using the sulfur removal agent is specifically as follows:
[0154] S1. Dust removal;
[0155] The industrial synthesis gas (initial temperature ≥ 80℃) is passed into the CLT / A cyclone separator at an inlet flow rate of 13-15 m / s, and the coarse particle dust with a particle size ≥ 10 μm is separated by centrifugal force;
[0156] S2. Dehydration;
[0157] The dust-removed industrial synthesis gas (at this time, the temperature is about 60℃) is passed into the tube condenser, the synthesis gas goes through the tube, the cooling medium (industrial circulating water) goes through the shell, the cooling temperature is 23℃, and when the gas stays in the tube, the saturated water vapor in the synthesis gas is removed by condensation, enters the gas-liquid separator, and the liquid water formed by condensation is separated off;
[0158] S3. Humidity adjustment;
[0159] The dehydrated industrial synthesis gas is passed into the humidity adjustment tower, and deionized water is sprayed into the tower through the top atomizing nozzle, so that the water content is controlled at 16%;
[0160] S4. Preheating;
[0161] The humidity-adjusted industrial synthesis gas is adjusted to 370℃ in temperature by the preheater;
[0162] S5. Fixed bed adsorption;
[0163] The preheated industrial synthesis gas is passed into the fixed bed reactor filled with the sulfur removal agent, the outlet pressure is 2-3 MPa, the gas velocity is 1500 h -1 -3000 h -1 , the bulk density of the sulfur removal agent is 0.8 g / cm 3 -1.2 g / cm 3 , the total sulfur content of the fixed bed outlet gas is ≤ 0.1 ppm as determined by the coulomb instrument, and if it is > 0.1 ppm, the gas is returned to the fixed bed reactor for sulfur removal again;
[0164] S6. Post-regeneration treatment;
[0165] The desulfurizing agent is purged with inert gas at 230℃ for 2h to remove physically adsorbed hydrocarbons, moisture and other impurities; the temperature is raised to 620℃, and the inert gas mixed gas containing 8% O2 is introduced to oxidize and decompose the adsorbed sulfide to generate SO2, and the process is maintained for 3h; the reducing gas is switched to and the desulfurizing agent is regenerated at 300℃ for 2h; the SO2-containing tail gas generated during the regeneration process is introduced into the lye absorption tower (NaOH solution concentration 5%) for neutralization and absorption, and the tail gas is then discharged.
[0166] Comparative Example 1: The difference between this comparative example and Example 3 is that the ZSM-5 molecular sieve is not modified.
[0167] Comparative Example 2: The difference between this comparative example and Example 3 is that the silicon carbide powder is not added to the carrier.
[0168] Comparative Example 3: The difference between this comparative example and Example 3 is that the molar ratio of Ce, Cu and Co in the mixed solution is 5:1:7.
[0169] Comparative Example 4: The difference between this comparative example and Example 3 is that the industrial synthesis gas is not dehydrated and humidity adjusted.
[0170] Comparative Example 5: The difference between this comparative example and Example 3 is that the ZSM-5 molecular sieve is not modified, the silicon carbide powder is not added to the carrier, the molar ratio of Ce, Cu and Co in the mixed solution is 5:1:7, and the industrial synthesis gas is not dehydrated and humidity adjusted.
[0171] Experimental Example 1: Characterization of the desulfurizing agent;
[0172] It can be seen that the modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve, silicon carbide, γ-alumina (derived from the high-temperature calcination phase transition of pseudoboehmite) and CeO2, CuO and Co3O4 characteristic diffraction peaks appear in the desulfurizing agent: Figure 2 The diffraction peak positions of the modified ZSM-5 molecular sieve are 7.9°, 8.8°, 23.1°, 23.9° and 24.4°, and the corresponding crystal faces are (101), (020), (501), (303) and (133), respectively;
[0173] The diffraction peak position of the silicon carbide is 35.6°, and the corresponding crystal face is (111);
[0174] The diffraction peak positions of the γ-alumina are 37.5°, 45.8° and 66.7°, and the corresponding crystal faces are (311), (400) and (440), respectively;
[0175]
[0176] CeO2 appeared diffraction peak position is 28.6°, 33.1°, 47.5°, 56.3°, corresponding to the crystal face is (111), (200), (220), (311) respectively;
[0177] CuO appeared diffraction peak position is 35.5°, 38.7°, corresponding to the crystal face is (002), (111) respectively;
[0178] Co3O4 appeared diffraction peak position is 19.0°, 31.3°, 36.8°, 44.8°, corresponding to the crystal face is (111), (220), (311), (400) respectively;
[0179] Thus it is concluded that the crystal phase structure of each active component and carrier in the prepared sulfur removal agent meets the expected preparation effect, no impurity phase is generated and the crystallinity is good.
[0180] Experimental example 2: detection of organic sulfur removal rate and regeneration life of sulfur removal agent;
[0181] After inert gas cleaning, the stainless steel sampling cylinder (volume 1L) was used to collect the gas samples at the inlet (raw material gas) and outlet (purified gas) of the fixed bed reactor respectively, and the sampling pressure was 0.3MPa, and 3 parallel samples were collected for each sample to ensure data repeatability.
[0182] Detection instrument and parameter setting;
[0183] The gas chromatograph was equipped with a flame photometric detector (FPD), the sulfur element response wavelength was 394nm, and the detector temperature was 250℃;
[0184] The chromatographic column used a packed column (GDX-104 high polymer porous small ball column, column length 2m, inner diameter 3mm);
[0185] The column temperature was programmed, the initial temperature was 40℃ and maintained for 2min, then increased to 160℃ at 10℃ / min and maintained for 5min;
[0186] The carrier gas was high-purity nitrogen, and the column flow was 5mL / min;
[0187] The combustion gas was hydrogen, the flow was 40mL / min, and the air flow was 400mL / min.
[0188] Draw the standard curve: prepare a mixed standard gas containing COS, CS2, methyl mercaptan and thiophene with nitrogen as the base gas, the concentration gradient of each component is 10-1000ppm (calculated by sulfur), inject the standard gas, record the chromatographic peak height of each component, and draw the standard working curve with the logarithm of component concentration as the abscissa and the logarithm of peak height as the ordinate;
[0189] The industrial synthesis gas samples after desulfurization of each example and comparative example were injected into a chromatograph, each organic sulfur component was qualitatively identified according to the retention time of a standard curve, the concentration of a single component was quantitatively calculated by peak height, the total organic sulfur content was the sum of the contents of each component, and the removal rate was calculated according to the following formula:
[0190]
[0191] In the formula, C1 is the total organic sulfur content at the inlet of the fixed bed reactor (ppm), and C2 is the total organic sulfur content at the outlet of the fixed bed reactor (ppm).
[0192] After each sulfur removal agent was subjected to S6 regeneration treatment once (P1), three times (P3), five times (P5), seven times (P7), and ten times (P10), the organic sulfur removal rate (‰) was detected by the above method. 10
[0193] The results are shown in the following table:
[0194]
[0195] It should be noted that when the organic sulfur removal rate is <999.83‰, i.e., the total organic sulfur content at the outlet is >0.1 ppm, the sulfur removal agent is ineffective.
[0196] As shown in the above table, the sulfur removal agent prepared in the examples and subjected to a series of industrial synthesis gas pretreatment can still maintain high sulfur removal efficiency after 10 times of regeneration;
[0197] The absence of any key technical link (such as unmodified molecular sieve, carrier without silicon carbide powder, deviation of metal ion ratio from the set range, and raw gas without dehydration and humidity adjustment) will cause the sulfur removal effect or regeneration life to decrease to varying degrees;
[0198] The unmodified molecular sieve itself cannot provide a stable support, and the carrier without silicon carbide powder loses the guarantee of structural mechanical strength and uniform heat conduction, the deviated metal ions cannot effectively capture sulfides, and the fluctuation of water vapor will cause the contact efficiency of the sulfur removal agent with organic sulfur to be high and low, which cannot form a continuous removal reaction and cannot achieve effective removal of organic sulfur.
[0199] The above examples only exemplarily illustrate the principles and effects of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above examples without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present application should be covered by the claims of the present application.
