Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of sulfuric acid production, and particularly relates to a method for producing sulfuric acid of different specifications. BACKGROUND
[0002] Sulfuric acid is an important basic chemical raw material and is widely used in many industries, such as fertilizer production, metal smelting, petroleum chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, etc. Different industry application scenarios have different requirements for the concentration specifications of sulfuric acid. For example, in fertilizer production, sulfuric acid with a concentration of 93% to 98% is usually required; in the alkylation reaction of petroleum chemical industry, concentrated sulfuric acid with a concentration of more than 98% or fuming sulfuric acid may be required; and in some metal surface treatment processes, dilute sulfuric acid with a concentration of 20% to 50% may be required.
[0003] At present, the traditional sulfuric acid production process can only produce sulfuric acid of a single concentration or a limited number of concentration specifications. Commonly used contact method for producing sulfuric acid mainly produces concentrated sulfuric acid with a concentration of about 98%. If other concentrations of sulfuric acid are needed, the product concentrated sulfuric acid is usually diluted to achieve the desired concentration. However, this method not only increases the production steps and costs, but also makes it difficult to accurately control the concentration of the diluted sulfuric acid, which can easily lead to unstable product quality. In addition, the traditional production process lacks sufficient flexibility and response capability when the market demand for sulfuric acid of different concentrations changes rapidly, and it cannot adjust the production in a timely manner to meet the diversified market demand.
[0004] Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a system and method for producing sulfuric acid of different specifications, which can not only meet the diversified needs of different industries, but also improve the market competitiveness and economic benefits of sulfuric acid production enterprises. SUMMARY
[0005] To solve the above problems, the application provides a method for producing sulfuric acid of different specifications.
[0006] The application provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] The method for producing sulfuric acid of different specifications comprises the following steps:
[0008] S1, raw material pretreatment: pretreating the raw material to convert it into sulfur dioxide furnace gas;
[0009] S2, sulfur dioxide conversion treatment: introducing the sulfur dioxide furnace gas treated in step S1 into a converter for conversion treatment to convert it into sulfur trioxide furnace gas for standby;
[0010] S3, sulfur trioxide absorption treatment: introducing the sulfur trioxide furnace gas treated in step S2 into an absorption tower for absorption and blending treatment, and obtaining sulfuric acid products of different concentrations after the treatment.
[0011] Further, the raw material in step S1 includes at least one of sulfur, pyrite and sulfur-containing gas; the pre-treatment methods of different raw materials are different.
[0012] Further, when the raw material is sulfur, the solid sulfur is heated and melted, and then sent to the incinerator for incineration to convert into sulfur dioxide furnace gas.
[0013] Further, when the raw material is pyrite, it is crushed and sieved, and then sent to the fluidized bed furnace to convert into sulfur dioxide furnace gas.
[0014] Further, when the raw material is sulfur-containing gas, the gas is purified and impurity-removed to convert into sulfur dioxide furnace gas.
[0015] Further, the sulfur dioxide furnace gas in step S2 is first subjected to temperature rising treatment before being introduced into the converter, and the temperature is raised to 400-450 DEG C.
[0016] Further, the converter in step S2 is provided with a vanadium-based catalyst, which can catalyze the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen to generate sulfur trioxide.
[0017] Further, the sulfur trioxide furnace gas in step S3 is first subjected to countercurrent contact with concentrated sulfuric acid to generate high-temperature concentrated sulfuric acid, then subjected to countercurrent contact with fuming sulfuric acid to generate high-concentration fuming sulfuric acid, and finally subjected to countercurrent contact with reagent-grade sulfuric acid to generate high-concentration reagent-grade sulfuric acid.
[0018] Further, the adjustment treatment in step S3 is to adjust the concentration of sulfuric acid products generated by sulfur trioxide furnace gas according to the design requirements of products, and then different concentrations of sulfuric acid products are obtained.
[0019] The technical effects and advantages of the method for producing different specifications and concentrations of sulfuric acid are as follows:
[0020] The method has the advantages of high production flexibility, stable product quality, high overall efficiency, low production cost and the like. Specifically, different specifications and concentrations of sulfuric acid can be produced according to market demand, from low-concentration dilute sulfuric acid to high-concentration concentrated sulfuric acid, fuming sulfuric acid and reagent-grade sulfuric acid, to meet the diversified needs of multiple industries. By setting a sulfuric acid blending unit and an online concentration monitor, the concentration of the blended sulfuric acid can be accurately controlled to ensure the stability and consistency of the product quality and improve the market competitiveness of the product. The entire production process is highly automated, and the processes are closely coordinated to reduce manual intervention and production time and improve the production efficiency of sulfuric acid. Compared with the traditional method of producing single-concentration sulfuric acid and then diluting it, the present application directly produces sulfuric acid of different specifications and concentrations, reduces the dilution step and related equipment investment, and reduces the production cost.
