Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sulfur dioxide production, and specifically relates to a method for reducing SO4 2 Concentration demisting system and SO2 production system. Background Art

[0002] The core technology of preparing liquid sulfur dioxide by sodium citrate method is the absorption and decomposition of sulfur dioxide. When sulfur dioxide is dissolved in water, it will form medium-strong acid H2SO3 and further dissociate into HSO3 - and H + As the dissolution continues, H + The increase in concentration will cause the pH of the solution to decrease, which in turn inhibits the continued dissolution of sulfur dioxide. When sodium citrate is added to water, it will react with H + A multi-stage buffer is formed, and the citrate ions in the solution can react with H + Binding inhibition H + The concentration continues to rise, keeping the solution pH within a stable range, thus ensuring the normal absorption of sulfur dioxide. The optimum pH of the absorption solution can be determined based on the sulfur dioxide concentration in the gas. The reaction process of sulfur dioxide absorption is as follows:

[0003]

[0004] The overall reaction equation can be expressed as:

[0005]

[0006] Where: C i t represents citric acid, C i t 3- It stands for citrate.

[0007] The solution that has absorbed sulfur dioxide is sent to the desorption tower and released by heating. This process is the desorption of sulfur dioxide. As can be seen from the above formula, desorption is the reverse process of the absorption process. The solution can be recycled after treatment.

[0008] The main process flow of preparing sulfur dioxide by sodium citrate method is: purification, absorption, desorption, cooling and drying, compression and liquefaction. Specifically, the high-temperature furnace gas (SO2, SO3, air, etc.) delivered by the sulfuric acid system is cooled and then enters the pickling tower and demister in turn to remove most of the SO3, acid mist and water impurities. The purified furnace gas is sent to the absorption tower from the bottom and contacts with the citric acid-sodium citrate buffer from the lean liquid tank in reverse, absorbing and transferring most of the sulfur dioxide gas into the solution to form a rich liquid, and the tail gas is purified and discharged. The rich liquid is collected and cooled and then sent to the desorption tower. The hot air flow heated by the heating kettle contacts in the tower to continuously increase the temperature of the solution, release sulfur dioxide from the rich liquid, escape from the top of the analysis tower, and is compressed to form liquid sulfur dioxide after cooling and drying. The solution flowing out from the bottom enters the heating kettle for further heating, so that the residual sulfur dioxide in the solution continues to be released. The released sulfur dioxide gas mixed with water vapor enters the desorption tower through the top of the heating kettle to conduct heat and mass transfer with the rich liquid, and the solution at the bottom of the heating kettle becomes the lean liquid. The lean liquid enters the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger to transfer part of the heat to the rich liquid, and then is sent to the lean liquid cooler for cooling and then pumped into the lean liquid tank. The solution in the tank is crystallized and filtered and then returned through the underground tank for use as absorption liquid.

[0009] In the process of producing sulfur dioxide by the citric acid-sodium citrate method, due to the recycling of the solution, in production, although there is a pre-purification process that can remove most impurities, the tail gas from the acid system may contain some acid mist and SO3 gas when passing through the purification system. It cannot be effectively removed and will generate SO4 after entering the absorption liquid. 2- In addition, due to the presence of oxygen, there will still be side reactions in the solution during the absorption process: 2HSO3 - +O2→2H++2SO4 2- This reaction also results in SO4 2- The generation of SO4 2- When the solution contains SO4 2- When the concentration reaches a certain level, the generation rate will be greatly increased, which will not only lead to the failure of the absorption liquid, but also cause sulfate to combine with sodium ions to produce sodium sulfate crystals. In severe cases, it will also cause pipeline blockage and accelerate various side reactions, which is extremely unfavorable to production. Therefore, in order to reduce the impact of sulfate on production, the most important thing in process control is to reduce SO4 in the process system. 2- The production performance is that the consumption of citric acid is reduced. In terms of cost control, in addition to the fixed costs such as equipment and manpower required for process and production, the largest cost comes from the consumption of production auxiliary materials. In this process, the most important auxiliary material with the highest unit cost is citric acid.

[0010] Generally speaking, the most direct way to reduce the consumption of citric acid is to strictly control the composition of the absorption liquid. When the furnace gas enters the sulfur dioxide production system, various means and measures are used to ensure that the content of each component is within the control range of the process indicators to ensure the stability of the sulfur dioxide absorption efficiency. Generally, regular monitoring and analysis are performed to observe the changes and fluctuations of key components in the solution, and the composition of the solution is adjusted in real time according to the actual situation to reduce SO4 2- concentration. Because of the large amount of SO4 2- Compounds Na2SO4 and NaHSO4 will be formed in the solution. These two substances will precipitate from the solution in the form of crystals after accumulation. This result will not only lead to blockage of pipelines and equipment, but also cause a serious decrease in the absorption efficiency of sulfur dioxide when passing through the absorption liquid and a large consumption of citric acid absorption liquid.

[0011] To prevent the loss of citric acid in the absorption liquid, the main method is to reduce SO4 2- There are usually two ways to reduce the impact of SO3 gas and acid mist in the absorption tower: one is to purify the furnace gas, and make the concentration of SO3 gas and acid mist entering the absorption tower as low as possible after acid washing and demisting; the other is to reduce the SO4 2- To separate.

[0012] The problem with the existing device in actual production is that due to the irrationality of the design, the flue gas from sulfuric acid production may still contain some acid mist after acid washing and demisting, which cannot be effectively captured and enters the absorption liquid to generate SO4 2- , the purification effect is difficult to meet production needs.
