Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of waste heat recovery, in particular to a desulfurization slurry waste heat recovery coupled air evaporation concentration wastewater treatment device system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of limestone-gypsum wet desulfurization for removing sulfur dioxide in flue gas of coal-fired power plants, a large amount of desulfurization wastewater is generated. This part of wastewater has the characteristics of high turbidity, high hardness, high heavy metal content, super-high chloride ion content, easy scaling and easy corrosion, and is difficult to treat.

[0003] At present, desulfurization wastewater "zero discharge" needs to be achieved through multi-technology coupling, usually including wastewater pretreatment technology, concentration technology and terminal treatment technology, aiming to completely eliminate wastewater discharge and recover water resources and solid salt. Among them, the concentration technology is a key link to realize the reduction of desulfurization wastewater. Through concentration reduction treatment, the amount of wastewater can be significantly reduced, which plays a role in reducing the processing capacity of the subsequent solidification section.

[0004] In the process of limestone-gypsum wet desulfurization, when the flue gas reacts with the desulfurization slurry, the waste heat of the flue gas is transferred to the desulfurization slurry through heat transfer, causing the temperature of the desulfurization slurry to rise to 50-60℃. The waste heat carried by this part of desulfurization slurry is low-grade waste heat, which has little value and has not been reasonably utilized. If it is directly discharged or cooled, it will cause waste of energy.

[0005] The existing research on desulfurization slurry waste heat utilization mainly extracts waste heat through direct heat exchange method and heat pump heat extraction method. CN114001491A discloses a desulfurization slurry waste heat recovery device based on capillary and absorption heat pump, which comprises a capillary heat exchanger and an absorption heat pump; the capillary heat exchanger comprises a shell, two blocking plates and a plurality of capillary tubes; the two blocking plates are arranged in parallel in the shell, and the two blocking plates are sealingly connected with the inner wall of the shell to form a sealed cavity between the two blocking plates. The region of the shell located in the sealed cavity is provided with a steam inlet and a steam outlet, and the steam inlet is connected with a unit steam extraction; the two ends of the plurality of capillary tubes penetrate the two blocking plates, the region of the shell located in the front end of the capillary tube is provided with a slurry inlet, and the region of the shell located in the rear end of the capillary tube is provided with a slurry outlet and a steam outlet; the steam outlet is connected with the absorption heat pump. The device improves the utilization degree of the heat of the desulfurization slurry, and realizes the deep recovery and utilization of the waste heat of the flue gas.

[0006] CN115406294A discloses a high-efficiency anti-blocking desulfurization slurry waste heat recovery device and method, which comprises a placing plate, a supporting column, a rectangular frame, a feeding mechanism and a poking mechanism. The upper end of the placing plate is provided with a rectangular frame through a plurality of supporting columns, and a water inlet hole is formed in the left side wall of the rectangular frame close to the lower side. The flow-through pipe cooperates with the poking mechanism, and a plurality of spiral flow-through pipes are adopted, which not only increases the area of desulfurization slurry and heat medium liquid heat exchange treatment, but also increases the residence time of desulfurization slurry in the heat medium liquid, thereby improving the effect of desulfurization slurry waste heat recovery.

[0007] CN213901112U discloses a water source heat pump system for desulfurization tower slurry waste heat recovery, which comprises a desulfurization tower, a flow channel type heat exchanger, a sedimentation tank, an aeration tank, a desulfurization chemical dosing tank, a water source heat pump unit, a clean water circulating pump, a desulfurization slurry circulating pump and a heat user circulating pump; the slurry overflow pipe of the desulfurization tower is connected to the desulfurization slurry inlet of the flow channel type heat exchanger, the desulfurization slurry outlet of the flow channel type heat exchanger is sequentially connected to the sedimentation tank, the aeration tank and the desulfurization chemical dosing tank, the desulfurization chemical dosing tank is connected to the slurry spraying pipe of the desulfurization tower through the desulfurization slurry circulating pump; the water source heat pump unit is connected to the flow channel type heat exchanger through the clean water circulating pump, and the water source heat pump unit is connected to the heat user water supply pipe through the heat user circulating pump; low-temperature clean water is transported into the flow channel type heat exchanger through the clean water circulating pump to exchange heat with the desulfurization slurry, the heat-absorbed clean water enters the evaporator of the water source heat pump unit to absorb heat, and then enters the condenser to condense and release heat, and is transported back to the flow channel type heat exchanger through the clean water circulating pump.

[0008] However, the current technologies use the obtained waste heat for heating or process water preheating, which is not in the same system as flue gas desulfurization, and requires the construction of corresponding pipe networks, significantly increasing the operation cost of waste heat utilization, and there is a problem of inconvenience in waste heat recovery.
