Specifically, it includes a sulfur burner 101, a waste heat boiler 102, an air preheater 103, and a concentrated sulfuric acid generator 104 connected in sequence. Sulfur is introduced into the sulfur burner for combustion to form sulfur trioxide. The sulfur trioxide is introduced into the waste heat boiler 102 for heat exchange, heating demineralized water to produce steam. To maintain a stable ion concentration of approximately 1%, the demineralized water is discharged as wastewater.

The slurry is then filtered through filter 107 to form phosphogypsum and crude dilute phosphoric acid. The phosphogypsum is washed sequentially in the first washing tank 108, the second washing tank 109, and the third washing tank 110 to obtain washed phosphogypsum. Simultaneously, the wash water from the third washing tank 110 is recycled to the second washing tank 109 for a second wash, the wash water from the second washing tank 109 is recycled to the first washing tank 108 for a first wash, and the wash water is recycled to the phosphoric acid slurry 106 for slurry preparation.

[0024] It also includes a pre-concentration component for pre-concentrating dilute phosphoric acid.

The heating component is connected to the absorption tower 115, and the filter 107 is connected to the fine adjuster 111. The fine adjuster 111 is connected to the heating component.

[0025] Specifically, the heating assembly includes a second heat exchanger 112, a first heat exchanger 113, and a third heat exchanger 114 connected in sequence. The second heat exchanger 112 is connected to the outlet of the fine-tuning device 111, and the third heat exchanger 114 is connected to the inlet of the absorption tower 115. The third heat exchanger 114 is also connected to the waste heat boiler 102, using continuous drainage to heat the dilute phosphoric acid.

Inside the absorption tower 115, it comes into direct contact with the humidified air, directly transferring heat and moisture to the humidified air.

[0026] Furthermore, it also includes a circulating humidified air assembly for circulating humidified air. The circulating humidified air assembly is connected to the pre-concentration assembly and to the absorption tower 115. Specifically, the circulating humidified air assembly includes a purification assembly and a regeneration tower 118. The humidified air outlet of the absorption tower 115 is connected to the purification assembly, the purification assembly is connected to the humidified air inlet of the regeneration tower 118, and the humidified air outlet of the regeneration tower 118 is connected to the humidified air inlet of the absorption tower 115.

[0027] Furthermore, the purification assembly includes a two-stage fluorine absorber 116 and a scrubbing device 117. The inlet of the two-stage fluorine absorber 116 is connected to the humidified air outlet of the absorption tower 115, the outlet of the two-stage fluorine absorber 116 is connected to the inlet of the scrubbing device 117, the outlet of the scrubbing device 117 is connected to the humidified air inlet of the regeneration tower 118, and the humidified air outlet of the regeneration tower 118 is connected to the humidified air inlet of the absorption tower 115.

[0028] After the humidified air absorbs heat and moisture in the absorption tower 115, its temperature and moisture content increase. Then it enters the two-stage fluorine absorber 116 and the gas scrubbing device 117. After purification, it enters the regeneration tower 118 to exchange heat and moisture. After that, it returns to the absorption tower 115 to continue the heat and mass transfer with dilute phosphoric acid, and the cycle repeats.

[0029] Furthermore, it also includes a circulating water inlet assembly for circulating purified water; the circulating water inlet assembly is connected to the circulating humidified air assembly, specifically, the circulating water inlet assembly is connected to the regeneration tower 118.

[0030] Furthermore, the circulating water intake assembly includes a fourth heat exchanger 119 for heating the third wash water. The inlet of the fourth heat exchanger 119 is connected to the outlet of the regeneration tower 118, and the outlet of the fourth heat exchanger 119 is connected to the inlet of the regeneration tower 118. The outlet of the fourth heat exchanger 119 is connected to the third washing tank 110, and the inlet of the fourth heat exchanger 119 is connected to the third washing tank 110. The circulating purified water absorbs heat and moisture from the humidified air in the regeneration tower 118, and transfers this heat to the third wash water through the fourth heat exchanger 119. The third wash water then circulates back to the third washing tank 110. Simultaneously, the circulating purified water absorbing heat and moisture from the humidified air in the regeneration tower 118 can also be added to the concentrated sulfuric acid preparation workshop, i.e., replenished into the concentrated sulfuric acid preparer 104.

[0031] The circulating water intake assembly includes a fresh air heater 120, the outlet of the regeneration tower 118 is connected to the inlet of the fresh air heater 120, the outlet of the fresh air heater 120 is connected to the inlet of the regeneration tower 118, and the outlet of the fresh air heater 120 is connected to the air preheater 103.

[0032] Furthermore, it also includes a preheating component for preheating the pre-concentrated dilute phosphoric acid, the pre-concentration component being connected to the preheating component; the absorption tower 115 is connected to the preheating component. Specifically, the preheating component includes a dilute phosphoric acid preheater 121 and an electric heat pump 122 connected in sequence, the inlet of the dilute phosphoric acid preheater 121 being connected to the outlet of the absorption tower 115.

[0033] Furthermore, it also includes a single-effect concentration system for concentrating dilute phosphoric acid, with a preheating component connected to the single-effect concentration system and a heating component connected to the single-effect concentration system. Specifically, the first heat exchanger 113 and the second heat exchanger 112 are respectively connected to the single-effect concentration system.

[0034] Specifically, the single-effect concentration system includes a graphite heat exchanger 123, a separator 124, and a secondary steam treatment component connected in sequence. The graphite heat exchanger 123 is connected to the second heat exchanger 112, the outlet of the dilute phosphoric acid preheater 121 is connected to the graphite heat exchanger 123, the separator 124 is connected to the first heat exchanger 113, and the secondary steam treatment component is connected to the preheating component. Steam (originating from the waste heat boiler 102) enters the graphite heat exchanger 123 to heat and concentrate the incoming dilute phosphoric acid. The resulting condensate is then fed into the second heat exchanger 112 to further heat the dilute phosphoric acid. The concentrated phosphoric acid formed in the separator 124 is fed into the first heat exchanger 113 to further heat the dilute phosphoric acid.

[0035] The secondary steam treatment assembly includes a two-stage fluorine absorber 116 and a condenser 126 connected in sequence. The two-stage fluorine absorber 116 is connected to the separator 124, and the condenser 126 is connected to the preheating assembly. An electric heat pump 122 is connected to the condenser 126.

[0036] Furthermore, it also includes a demineralized water heater 125, the inlet of which is connected to the second heat exchanger 112, and the outlet of which is connected to the waste heat boiler 102.

[0037] The specific process flow of the low-grade waste heat utilization system 100 for the phosphoric acid process is as follows: (1) Steam condensate process: The steam condensate formed by the graphite heat exchanger 123 passes through the second heat exchanger 112, transferring heat to the dilute phosphoric acid. After that, the demineralized water is heated by a demineralized water heater 125.

[0038] (2) Dilute phosphoric acid process: The resulting dilute phosphoric acid is passed sequentially through a second heat exchanger 112, a first heat exchanger 113, and a third heat exchanger 114, where it absorbs heat from steam condensate, concentrated phosphoric acid, and wastewater. Simultaneously, it comes into direct contact with humidified air within the absorption tower 115, directly transferring heat and moisture to the air. The dilute phosphoric acid exiting the absorption tower 115 goes to a dilute phosphoric acid preheater 121, where an electric heat pump 122 recovers heat from the cooling water of the single-effect concentration system. After heating, the dilute phosphoric acid enters a graphite heat exchanger 123 where it is further concentrated by steam heating within the single-effect concentration system.

[0039] (3) Circulating air process: After absorbing heat and moisture in the absorption tower 115, the temperature and moisture content of the humidified air increase. It then enters the two-stage fluorine absorber 116 and the gas scrubbing device 117, where it is purified before entering the regeneration tower 118. There, it comes into direct contact with the circulating purified water sprayed within the regeneration tower 118, transferring heat and moisture to the circulating purified water. Afterward, it returns to the absorption tower 115 to continue heat and mass transfer with dilute phosphoric acid, in a continuous cycle.

[0040] (4) Circulating water purification process: The circulating purified water absorbs heat and moisture from the humidified air in the regeneration tower 118, and transfers the heat to the fresh air of the diammonium phosphate hot air furnace or the fresh air of the two sets of compound fertilizer hot air furnaces through the fresh air heater 120; and transfers the heat to the three wash water through the fourth heat exchanger 119.

[0041] (5) Steam process: Steam enters the graphite heat exchanger 123 to heat and concentrate the incoming dilute phosphoric acid. The resulting secondary steam passes through the separator 124 and the two-stage fluorine absorber 116 before entering the condenser 126 to be cooled by cooling water.

[0042] (6) Cooling water / intermediate circulating water process: Cooling water enters the condenser 126 to absorb the heat of the secondary steam and then enters the electric heat pump 122. The heat is carried away by the intermediate circulating water, and the condensate is discharged. The intermediate circulating water enters the dilute phosphoric acid preheater 121, transfers the heat to the dilute phosphoric acid, and then returns to the electric heat pump 122, and so on.

[0043] Example Using 99.5% dilute phosphoric acid (containing 260 g / L of phosphoric acid solute, the remainder being water, initial temperature 60℃); fluoride impurities: 0.5% (containing corrosive components such as fluorosilicic acid, requiring corrosion protection); total liquid phase feed rate: 190 m³. 3 / h, target concentration to 48g / L, 80m 3 / h provides an explanation.

[0044] Sulfur is introduced into sulfur burner 101 at a rate of 150 t / h and burned. It combines with oxygen to produce approximately 350 t / h of sulfur trioxide. Then, the sulfur trioxide at 950°C is introduced into waste heat boiler 102 at a rate of 350 t / h. The temperature of the sulfur trioxide drops to 350°C. After passing through air preheater 103, the temperature drops to 150°C. Finally, it is mixed with water in concentrated sulfuric acid preparer 104 to form concentrated sulfuric acid.

[0045] Phosphate ore is crushed and ground in crusher 105 to form phosphate ore powder, which is then mixed with the concentrated sulfuric acid to form a slurry. The slurry is passed through filter 107 at a rate of 600 t / h for sedimentation filtration, and then passes through fine conditioner 111 to form dilute phosphoric acid containing 26 g / L of phosphoric acid solute at 60°C. The dilute phosphoric acid is then discharged at 190 m... 3 Feed rate: / h.

[0046] The dilute phosphoric acid is heated to 76°C via the second heat exchanger 112. The condensate steam entering the second heat exchanger 112 is at 100°C, with a flow rate of 110 t / h, and the condensate steam exiting the second heat exchanger 112 is at 78°C. The demineralized water is then heated from 38°C to 58°C via the demineralized water heater 125, ultimately reducing the condensate steam temperature to 43°C. This process avoids heat waste and achieves a waste heat recovery of 4.6 MW.

[0047] The dilute phosphoric acid then undergoes further heat exchange in the first heat exchanger 113, raising its temperature to 79°C. Meanwhile, the concentrated phosphoric acid introduced into the first heat exchanger 113 is at 100°C and has a temperature of 80m. 3 / h (480g / h), the temperature of concentrated phosphoric acid discharged from the first heat exchanger 113 is 80℃.

[0048] The dilute phosphoric acid then passes through the third heat exchanger 114, where its temperature rises to 80°C. The wastewater entering the third heat exchanger 114 is at 150°C, with a flow rate of 2 t / h. The wastewater exiting the third heat exchanger 114 is at 100°C.

[0049] Dilute phosphoric acid at 80℃ is pre-concentrated in absorption tower 115, yielding pre-concentrated phosphoric acid at 60℃ and 266 g / L. This pre-concentrated phosphoric acid is then applied at a concentration of 186 m³ / L. 3 The phosphoric acid is introduced into the preheater 121 at a temperature of 70°C and then enters the graphite heat exchanger 123 for further concentration, achieving a waste heat recovery of 2.4MW. The total waste heat recovery here is 7MW, equivalent to a steam saving of 10t / h.

[0050] The dilute phosphoric acid in absorption tower 115 comes into direct contact with the humidified air, absorbing heat and moisture to become saturated wet air. This saturated air is then treated by a two-stage fluorine absorber 116 for fluorosilicic acid recovery, and further purified by a gas scrubbing device 117 before entering regeneration tower 118. The humidified air entering regeneration tower 118 is at 75°C and has a humidity of 28,000 Nm³. 3 / h; the humidified air discharged from regeneration tower 118 is 60℃ and 20,000 Nm³. 3 The above process can achieve a reduction of 5t / h in dilute phosphoric acid concentration. Based on the calculation of "1.2t steam to 1t condensate" for a single-effect concentration system, this saves 6t / h of steam.

[0051] Inside regeneration tower 118, purified water, after heat exchange, heats 200 m³ / h of third-wash water from 45℃ to 52.5℃ in one path and 200,000 m³ / h of fresh air from 25℃ to 50℃ in another, recovering a total of 3.7 MW of waste heat and saving 5 t / h of steam. The cooled circulating purified water returns to regeneration tower 118 for recirculation, and the enriched purified water can be used as process water within the plant. Furthermore, compared to the original method of directly heating the third-wash water with steam, which would introduce moisture, this heating method eliminates the need for subsequent concentration, thus saving an additional 3 t / h of steam required for subsequent third-wash water concentration. Therefore, a total of 8 t / h of steam is saved here.

[0052] Steam at 170℃, 400kPa, and 110t / h is introduced into a graphite heat exchanger 123 to exchange heat with dilute phosphoric acid at 70℃ generated by a dilute phosphoric acid preheater 121. The resulting 100℃ steam condensate is then introduced into a second heat exchanger 112. The dilute phosphoric acid then passes through a separator 124 to form 100℃ concentrated phosphoric acid, which is then introduced into a first heat exchanger 113. Simultaneously, the generated secondary steam passes through a secondary fluorine absorber and a condenser 126.

[0053] The operating pressure of the single-effect concentration system is designed to be 105 kPa.a (slight positive pressure), with an operating range of 100-110 kPa.a.

[0054] The cooling water flowing into condenser 126 is 80 t / h (total), with an initial temperature of 32℃ and a temperature rise of less than 8℃. After absorbing heat from the secondary steam through condenser 126, the cooling water enters electric heat pump 122. The heat is carried away by the intermediate circulating water, and then transferred to dilute phosphoric acid before returning to electric heat pump 122, achieving a waste heat recovery of 2.3MW, equivalent to a steam saving of 3 t / h.

[0055] The heat saved in this embodiment is equivalent to 6 + 8 + 10 + 3 = 27 t / h of steam. The circulating heat in this embodiment is 137 t / h of steam heat, which is reduced to 110 t / h of steam consumption through this design. Therefore, the system provided by this embodiment improves energy utilization efficiency by 27 / 137 = 20%.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
