AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In wet flue gas denitrification technology, the mass transfer efficiency at the gas-liquid interface is low. When NO2 molecules cross the gas-liquid interface, there is significant diffusion resistance, which limits the mass transfer flux. In traditional processes, the effective contact area between the active component and NO2 is limited, resulting in low reaction efficiency and increased reagent consumption without significant denitrification efficiency.

Method used

A wet flue gas denitrification enhancer is adopted, which includes organic acid, metal catalyst, pH buffer and surfactant. The surfactant electrostatically enriches NO2 through sulfonic acid groups, and the polyether segments form a hydrogen bond network to increase the gas-liquid contact area. The dodecyl chain drives the interface to oriented and form a stable film. The multifunctional group synergistically improves the denitrification efficiency.

Benefits of technology

The denitrification efficiency was significantly improved. The surfactant electrostatically enriched NO2 through sulfonic acid groups, the polyether segments increased the gas-liquid contact area, and the dodecyl chains formed a stable film. The synergistic effect of multiple functional groups improved the mass transfer rate and reaction efficiency of NO2.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flue gas denitrification technology, specifically to a wet flue gas denitrification enhancer and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Wet flue gas denitrification (FGD) technology is widely used in steel plant flue gas treatment due to its mature process, good equipment compatibility, and ability to operate in conjunction with existing wet desulfurization units. However, wet FGD generally faces a key problem: low mass transfer efficiency at the gas-liquid interface, especially significant diffusion resistance when NO2 molecules cross the gas-liquid interface. NO2 has low water solubility, limiting its mass transfer flux in the liquid phase, making it difficult for large amounts of NO2 entering the absorber to dissolve and diffuse into the internal reaction zone of the liquid in a timely manner. Due to this mass transfer limitation, although the active components such as oxidants and catalysts added in traditional processes are costly, the actual effective contact area with NO2 is limited, resulting in low reaction efficiency, insufficient utilization, and even situations where reagent consumption increases but denitrification efficiency remains insignificant. Simultaneously, the slow residence and diffusion of NO2 in the liquid film makes it even more difficult to maintain the dynamic equilibrium of the reaction between the gas and liquid phases, which is a key problem that urgently needs to be solved to improve the efficiency of wet FGD.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN115501748A discloses a denitrification agent and its preparation method. When the denitrification agent is a particulate composite denitrification agent, it includes the following components: 50-80 parts by mass of reducing agent, 8-20 parts by mass of manganese ore powder-based denitrification catalyst, 10-30 parts by mass of denitrification synergist, and 0.5-2 parts by mass of organic binder. The denitrification agent has low ammonia slip and a denitrification temperature of 100-1100℃, but its denitrification temperature is relatively high and its denitrification efficiency still needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a wet flue gas denitrification enhancer and its preparation method.

[0008] The structural formula of the surfactant is as follows:

[0009] .

[0010] The surfactant is prepared by the following method:

[0011] S1: Pentaerythritol reacts with epichlorohydrin in the presence of a basic catalyst to form a tetracyclic oxide compound.

[0012] S2: Tetraepoxide reacts with dodecyl heptaethylene glycol ether to form a four-armed compound.

[0013] S3: The four-armed compound reacts with 1,3-propanesulfonate lactone in the presence of a basic catalyst to generate a surfactant.

[0019] The metal catalyst is manganese sulfate.

[0020] The organic acid is one of citric acid and tartaric acid.

[0021] The pH buffer is a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate.

[0022] A method for preparing a wet flue gas denitrification enhancer includes the following steps:

[0023] (1) Weigh out the following by weight: organic acid: 5-12 parts, metal catalyst: 1-5 parts, pH buffer: 3-10 parts, surfactant: 0.5-2 parts, deionized water: 20-40 parts;

[0024] (2) Add deionized water to the reactor, then add organic acid and metal catalyst in sequence, and stir to mix; then add pH buffer, stir to mix, slowly add surfactant, stir to mix, and obtain wet flue gas denitrification enhancer.

[0025] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention include:

[0026] The denitrification enhancer prepared by this invention has a good denitrification rate. The added surfactant electrostatically enriches NO2 through sulfonic acid groups, the polyether segments form a hydrogen bond network with water molecules through their ether bonds to increase the gas-liquid contact area, and the dodecyl chain drives the interface to oriented and form a stable film. The synergistic effect of multiple functional groups significantly improves the denitrification efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0087] The denitrification enhancer prepared in this application has a significant promoting effect on NO2 absorption. The main denitrification mechanism of Na2SO3 is: SO3 produced by the hydrolysis of Na2SO3. 2- HSO3 -It can react rapidly with NO2, thus promoting the denitrification reaction and improving the NO2 removal efficiency. The surfactant prepared in this application significantly promotes the mass transfer and reaction rate of NO2 from the gas phase to the liquid phase, for the following reasons: the surfactant is based on pentaerythritol, and also incorporates sulfonate, polyether segments, and dodecyl long chains. In this surfactant, the sulfonate salt ionizes in the aqueous phase to generate sulfonate anions, which adsorb and enrich NO2 molecules in the flue gas through dipole-ion interactions, effectively enriching and concentrating the local concentration of NO2 at the gas-liquid interface, thus promoting subsequent absorption and reaction. The polyether segment contains numerous ether bonds, and the ether oxygen atoms possess lone pair electrons that can form weak coordination with nitrogen atoms in NO2 molecules, further enhancing the NO2 capture ability. Simultaneously, the ether bonds can form a hydrogen bond network with water molecules, significantly improving solution wettability and spreadability, and increasing the gas-liquid contact area. The terminal dodecyl chain, as a strongly hydrophobic group, not only drives the molecules to oriented at the gas-liquid interface through hydrophobic interactions, forming a dense monolayer and reducing surface tension, but also interacts with hydrophobic components in the flue gas through hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions, causing the active groups carried by the surfactant (such as sulfonate groups) to accumulate at the gas-liquid interface, thereby achieving NO2 removal. Through the synergistic effect of its functional groups, this surfactant improves the mass transfer efficiency of NO2 from the gas phase to the liquid phase, thus enhancing the denitrification efficiency.

[0088] The surfactant molecules used in Comparative Example 1 have increased polarity, making them more likely to dissolve in the aqueous phase rather than accumulate at the gas-liquid interface. This weakens their ability to reduce surface tension and promote mass transfer of NO2 gas in the liquid film, ultimately leading to a decrease in denitrification efficiency.

[0089] In Comparative Example 2, the surfactant used was changed from four arms to three arms, which reduced the symmetry of the molecules and decreased the efficiency and order of self-assembly at the gas-liquid interface. This resulted in a less dense interfacial film, which reduced the dispersion and mass transfer promotion effect of the denitrification enhancer, ultimately leading to a decrease in denitrification efficiency.

[0090] The surfactant used in Comparative Example 4 lost its ability to weakly coordinate with NO2 molecules through ether bonds due to the absence of polyether chains. The shorter and more rigid molecular structure disrupted its amphiphilic balance and spatial flexibility, resulting in the inability of the molecule to form a dense and stable monolayer at the gas-liquid interface. This reduced its effect of lowering surface tension and increasing contact area, and also weakened the spatial synergistic effect between the sulfonate group and the dodecyl group, making it difficult to effectively enrich NO2, ultimately leading to a decrease in denitrification efficiency.
