Description

Technical Field

[0002] As a major carbon emitter, the steel industry is an important area for achieving green and low-carbon development. Achieving low-carbon development in the steel industry is of great significance. Carbon emissions from blast furnace ironmaking process in the steelmaking process account for ~45% of the long process steelmaking process, and it is a key link in carbon capture in the future steel industry. Through technical means to capture and utilize carbon dioxide from blast furnace gas, the quality and efficiency of blast furnace gas can be improved, greatly broadening the scope of blast furnace gas utilization.

[0003] Under the background of "ultra-low emission" in the steel industry, the blast furnace gas desulfurization, as the largest by-product of steel enterprises, is a responsibility. The implementation of fine desulfurization of blast furnace gas can significantly reduce the overall SO2 emissions of the steel industry. Therefore, it is an important way to implement ultra-low emission in the steel industry to control blast furnace gas from the source and realize blast furnace gas desulfurization. The main components of blast furnace gas are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfide, etc. The application of desulfurization and decarbonization technology can effectively improve the quality and calorific value of blast furnace gas. The captured CO2 can be used for mineralization. At the same time, by capturing CO2 and sulfide, the concentration of CO in the gas is increased. The enriched CO can be reused in the ironmaking process to achieve green resource utilization.

[0034] In some embodiments, the system of the present invention further includes a regeneration separation device for regenerating and separating and recovering the absorbent, H2S and CO2; the regeneration separation device is connected to the absorption tower 3.

[0035] Preferably, the regeneration and separation device includes a flash tank, a gas-liquid separation tank 9, a first regeneration tower 16, and a desulfurization tower 12, wherein an absorbent outlet is arranged at the bottom of the absorption tower 3 and is connected to the flash tank through a pump, so as to partially release H2S and CO2; the top of the flash tank is connected to the inlet of the gas-liquid separation tank 9 by arranging a gas outlet, and the gas-liquid separation tank 9 is connected to the desulfurization tower 12 by arranging a gas outlet, a desulfurizer is arranged in the desulfurization tower 12, so as to absorb H2S and discharge high-purity CO2 from the top of the desulfurization tower 12; the bottoms of the flash tank and the gas-liquid separation tank 9 are respectively connected to the first regeneration tower 16 by arranging a liquid outlet, so as to regenerate the organic amine solution discharged from the flash tank and the gas-liquid separation tank 9.

[0038] The utility model completes partial H2S and CO2 removal through a flash tank, and then completes complete H2S and CO2 removal through a first regeneration tower 16, and the obtained lean liquid, i.e., the organic amine solution absorbent, is returned to the absorption tower for repeated use.

[0039] Further preferably, a liquid outlet is provided at the bottom of the first regeneration tower 16 and connected to the reboiler 15, and the reboiler 15 is connected to the inlet of the lower side wall of the first regeneration tower 16 to form a loop, so as to heat part of the organic amine solution and flow to the bottom of the first regeneration tower 16 to maintain it at a certain temperature. The heat source of the reboiler 15 is water vapor, specifically formed by circulating water heated by a high-temperature steam heat source.

[0040] Further preferably, the utility model also includes a water storage tank 11 for storing blast furnace slag flushing water, the flash tank is wrapped with a jacket, the water storage tank 11 is connected to the jacket to form a heating circuit; the circulating water in the heat source of the reboiler 15 first exchanges heat with the water storage tank 11 through the first heat exchanger 10, and then exchanges heat with the high-temperature steam heat source through the second heat exchanger 14 to form water vapor; the water storage tank 11 serves as a partial heat source for the flash tank and the reboiler 15, effectively improving the utilization rate of waste heat.

[0041] The utility model realizes full utilization of low-grade waste heat in the steel industry by arranging a lean-rich liquid heat exchanger and utilizing blast furnace slag flushing water as a partial heat source for a flash tank and a reboiler.

[0042] Preferably, the utility model further comprises a second regeneration tower 13 for regenerating and recycling the adsorption saturated desulfurizer to obtain elemental sulfur.

[0043] The utility model system is based on the properties of carbon dioxide and sulfide to desulfurize and decarbonize blast furnace gas. Its main mechanism of action is: considering that the amount of CO2 in the gas far exceeds H2S and COS (carbonyl sulfide), a hydrolysis tower 2 is set before the absorption tower 3, and the organic sulfur is completely converted into H2S by a hydrolysis catalyst, and then the absorbent is used to absorb CO2 and H2S at the same time, and the saturated organic amine solution is transferred to the regeneration tower, and the CO2 and H2S are regenerated and released by heating. Then, the regenerated gas passes through the desulfurizer in the desulfurization tower to selectively absorb H2S to obtain enriched CO2. The saturated desulfurizer is recycled after regeneration, and elemental sulfur is obtained for downstream production. The desulfurized and decarbonized coal gas obtained after the absorption is completed is returned to the pipeline network for coal gas power generation or back-spraying into the blast furnace.

[0044] Therefore, the system of the utility model first absorbs sulfide and CO2 in the coal gas simultaneously, and then absorbs sulfide in steps. This process can ensure that desulfurization and decarbonization are achieved in the same system.

[0045] See also Figure 2 , using the utility model system to collaboratively remove sulfide and carbon dioxide from blast furnace gas, specifically including the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: The coal gas to be treated enters the spray tower 1, in which alkaline solution is sprayed to remove chloride ions in the coal gas, thereby reducing the subsequent poisoning of the hydrolysis catalyst and making the coal gas into saturated wet gas to obtain wet coal gas; the wet coal gas coming out of the top of the spray tower 1 enters from the bottom of the hydrolysis tower 2 and flows toward the top of the tower; the wet coal gas reacts with the hydrolysis catalyst installed in the hydrolysis tower 2 during its upward movement in the hydrolysis tower 2, and completely hydrolyzes the organic sulfur COS into H2S to obtain hydrolyzed coal gas.

[0047] Step 2: The hydrolyzed coal gas then enters the absorption tower 3, and undergoes a countercurrent reaction with the organic amine solution sprayed from the absorption tower 3, and H2S and CO2 are removed at the same time, thereby obtaining a first desulfurized and decarbonized coal gas and an absorption liquid containing H2S and CO2; the first desulfurized and decarbonized coal gas is discharged from the top of the absorption tower 3 and enters the water washing tower 5, in which water is sprayed to remove organic amine droplets carried in the first desulfurized and decarbonized coal gas, thereby obtaining a second desulfurized and decarbonized coal gas; the second desulfurized and decarbonized coal gas is discharged from the coal gas outlet B at the top of the water washing tower 5, and returned to the coal gas network for utilization, while the dilute organic amine liquid is collected at the bottom of the water washing tower 5 and re-pumped back to the absorption tower 3 for circulating washing.

[0048] Step 3: The saturated organic amine solution at the bottom of the absorber is used as the first rich liquid for gas-liquid separation to obtain an absorbent lean liquid and a gas mixture of H2S and CO2; CO2 gas and sulfur are recovered from the gas mixture, and the absorbent lean liquid is returned to the absorber for reuse; specifically comprising:

[0049] Step 3.1: Take gas from the absorption tower 3 regularly to detect the concentration of H2S and CO2, and analyze and determine whether H2S and CO2 have penetrated to judge whether the absorption liquid is saturated with adsorption; when saturated with adsorption, the organic amine solution saturated with H2S and CO2 at the bottom of the absorption tower 3 is the first rich liquid, which passes through the rich liquid pump 21 and the first lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 20 in turn and is divided into two paths, entering the first flash tank 6 and the second flash tank 7 respectively. The saturated organic amine solution releases a part of H2S and CO2 after decompression in the two flash tanks to obtain the second rich liquid;

[0050] Step 3.2: The second rich liquid is then discharged from the bottom of the two flash tanks and heated in turn by the second lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 19 and the rich liquid heater 17, then enters the upper spray regeneration of the first regeneration tower 16 and flows to the bottom of the tower. Part of the organic amine solution at the bottom of the first regeneration tower 16 will be circulated and heated in the reboiler 15 to maintain the temperature of the first regeneration tower 16. The second rich liquid gradually releases the remaining H2S and CO2 in the process of flowing to the bottom of the tower, and after being analyzed by the continuously high-temperature reboiler 15 and the first regeneration tower 16, a lean liquid is formed (which can be tested regularly); the organic amine lean liquid with absorption capacity is discharged from the bottom of the first regeneration tower 16, and is transported by the lean liquid pump 18, and passes through the second lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 19 and the first lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 20 in turn, and heats and absorbs the saturated organic amine (first rich liquid), while its own temperature is reduced. Finally, it is cooled by the second cooler 4 and returns to the absorption tower 3 for repeated absorption; that is, the organic amine liquid is in a circulating state in the entire reaction system;

[0051] Step 3.3: The H2S and CO2 analyzed by the first regeneration tower 16 are combined with the regeneration gas released from the top of the two flash tanks through the top outlet of the first regeneration tower 16 to obtain a gas mixture of H2S and CO2. The water in the gas of the H2S and CO2 gas mixture will be condensed after passing through the first cooler 8, and the condensed water will absorb the organic amines carried in the gas; then, the steam-water mixture is separated by the gas-liquid separation tank 9, and the liquid (water containing organic amines) at the bottom of the gas-liquid separation tank 9 is refluxed from the bottom of the gas-liquid separation tank 9 and returned to the first regeneration tower 16 to supplement the water volume of the entire circulating absorption regeneration system, and the gas is discharged from the middle or top of the gas-liquid separation tank into the desulfurization tower 12;

[0052] Step 3.4: In the desulfurization tower 12, the analyzed mixed gas flows upward from the bottom of the desulfurization tower 12, enters the bed filled with desulfurizer, and selectively absorbs H2S, and high-purity CO2 is discharged from the top of the desulfurization tower 12. The desulfurizer adsorbed and saturated with H2S is transferred to the second regeneration tower 13, regenerated and recycled in an oxygen atmosphere, and sulfur is obtained.

[0053] The utility model can be applied to blast furnace gas carbon capture and synergistic desulfurization. The gas after gravity dust removal and electrostatic dust removal can be effectively removed from sulfide and carbon dioxide through the utility model system, and the calorific value and reduction capacity of the purified gas are significantly improved. In addition, the high-purity carbon dioxide obtained by capture can be used for mineralization, production of chemicals, smelting and spraying back into blast furnaces, etc.; the sulfide obtained by removal finally exists in the form of elemental sulfur, which can be used as downstream chemical raw materials after purification. The proposal of this process system can effectively purify blast furnace gas and help the steel industry reduce pollution and carbon.

If the air velocity is too high and the residence time is too short, it will lead to incomplete hydrolysis. The hydrolysis reaction mechanism involved is:

[0055] COS + H2O → H2S + CO2 (Ⅰ)

[0062] Further preferably, the iron oxide desulfurizer can be regenerated and reused multiple times.

[0063] The present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0064] Example 1

[0065] Step 1: 200Nm 3 / h, 50℃, 0.2MPa blast furnace gas first passes through the spray tower 1, and the alkali solution sprayed in the tower removes the chloride ions in the gas and turns the flue gas into saturated wet gas. Then the blast furnace gas at room temperature and 0.2MPa is heated at a space velocity of 1000h -1 The COS in the coal gas is converted into H2S by the hydrolysis tower 2, which is filled with a COS hydrolysis catalyst accounting for 60% of the tower volume (for example, a 100L hydrolysis tower is filled with 60L of a catalyst with a diameter of 4mm) to obtain hydrolyzed coal gas.

[0066] Step 2: The hydrolyzed coal gas after hydrolysis enters the absorption tower 3 from the bottom and flows to the top of the tower at a gas velocity of about 1m / s. At the same time, an organic amine solution with a temperature of 40°C and a concentration of 40% is sprayed out from the top of the tower and flows to the bottom of the tower at a flow rate of 2t / h. The hydrolyzed coal gas and the organic amine solution undergo a countercurrent contact reaction in the absorption tower 3, and the H2S and CO2 in the hydrolyzed coal gas are absorbed by the organic amine solution. The first desulfurized and decarbonized coal gas is about 160Nm 3 / h, the temperature is 40℃, and it is discharged from the top of the absorption tower 3 into the water washing tower 5, where the organic amine droplets carried in the first desulfurized and decarbonized coal gas are removed under the elution of circulating water to obtain the clean second desulfurized and decarbonized coal gas, which is returned to the pipeline network for waste heat recovery and coal gas power generation. The elution water containing organic amine liquid at the bottom of the water washing tower 5 is returned to the absorption tower 3 again.

[0068] Step 3.1: The temperature of the absorbed saturated organic amine solution is 35°C. It is discharged from the bottom of the absorption tower 3 and transported by the rich liquid pump 21. After being heated to 70°C in the first lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 20, it is evenly divided into two streams and enters the first flash tank 6 and the second flash tank 7 connected in parallel.

[0069] The top pressure of the first flash tank 6 and the second flash tank 7 is 0.01Mpa. The bottom of the tower is wrapped with a jacket with 75℃ blast furnace slag water as the heat source to provide heat for the flash tank. The organic amine solution (first rich liquid) enters from the middle of the flash tank, and decompression evaporation occurs inside the flash tank, releasing some H2S and CO2. The mixed gas flow rate is 20Nm 3 / h. The organic amine solution after releasing gas is discharged from the bottom of the flash tank with a temperature of about 65°C and merged into one channel to form the second rich liquid.

[0070] Step 3.2: The second rich liquid has a flow rate of 2 t / h. It is heated to 75°C by the second lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 19, and then continues to be heated to 95°C by the rich liquid heater 17. It enters the first regeneration tower 16 from the top of the tower and flows to the bottom of the tower. Part of the organic amine solution at the bottom of the first regeneration tower 16 will be circulated and heated in the reboiler 15 at a temperature of 115°C to maintain the bottom temperature of the first regeneration tower 16 at 100°C. The organic amine solution (second rich liquid) gradually releases the remaining H2S and CO2, about 25Nm 3 / h of gas is discharged from the top of the first regeneration tower 16. After the organic amine lean liquid (2t / h, 100°C) with absorption capacity is discharged from the bottom of the first regeneration tower 16, it is transported by the lean liquid pump 18 and cooled to 80°C by the second lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 19, and then cooled to 63°C by the first lean-rich liquid heat exchanger 20. The exchanged heat is used to heat the first rich liquid and the second rich liquid. Finally, it is cooled to about 40°C by the second cooler 4 and enters the absorption tower 3 for reuse.

[0071] Step 3.3: The H2S and CO2 released from the two flash tanks and the first regeneration tower 16 are combined to obtain a H2S and CO2 gas mixture with a flow rate of about 45Nm 3 / h, the temperature is 70°C, and then passes through the first cooler 8, the gas mixture is condensed to 40°C, the water in the gas will be condensed, and the condensed water will absorb the organic amines carried in the gas; after that, the steam-water mixture is separated by the gas-liquid separation tank 9, the water containing organic amines refluxes from the bottom of the gas-liquid separation tank 9 to the first regeneration tower 16 at a temperature of about 30°C, and the gas enters the desulfurization tower 12 from the top of the gas-liquid separation tank 9 at a temperature of 30°C.

[0072] Step 3.4: In the desulfurization tower 12, the H2S and CO2 mixed gas at 30°C flows upward from the bottom of the tower at a gas velocity of about 1m / s. The H2S in the mixed gas is selectively absorbed and removed by the bed filled with desulfurizer, and the pure CO2 at 25°C is absorbed at a velocity of 45Nm 3 / h is discharged from the top of the tower. The desulfurizer saturated with H2S is transferred to the second regeneration tower 13 for regeneration in an oxygen atmosphere at 65°C, and the resulting sulfur is collected and discharged from the bottom of the tower.

[0073] After repeated testing, it was found that in the utility model, the capture efficiency of CO2 can reach more than 90%, and the removal efficiency of sulfide can reach more than 90%.

[0074] Comparative Example 1

[0075] The only difference from Example 1 is that the hydrolysis tower 2 is removed, that is, the wet coal gas obtained by spraying directly enters the absorption tower 3, and the other steps and conditions are the same as those in Example 1.

[0076] The results showed that due to the removal of the hydrolysis step, the adsorption effect of organic sulfur was poor, desulfurization and decarbonization could not be achieved simultaneously, and the sulfide emission standards could not be met.

[0077] Comparative Example 2

[0078] The only difference from Example 1 is that the two flash tanks are removed, that is, the first rich liquid discharged from the absorption tower 3 directly enters the first regeneration tower 16, and the other steps and conditions are the same as those in Example 1.

[0079] The results showed that due to the removal of the reduced pressure evaporation step in the flash tank, H2S and CO2 could not be fully decomposed within the same time, and the final CO2 gas and sulfur output decreased, the removal efficiency decreased, and the decomposition energy consumption increased.

[0080] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0081] (1) The utility model provides a process system suitable for simultaneously removing hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide from blast furnace gas. After being processed by this system, the pollutants in the blast furnace gas are purified, the calorific value and quality of the gas are improved, and high-purity CO2 can be obtained for downstream comprehensive utilization and sulfur slag products.

[0082] (2) The utility model combines the desulfurization and decarbonization process system with the low-grade heat source generated during the smelting process of the steel plant, and utilizes the blast furnace slag water as a heat source for heating the regeneration tower, thereby reducing the additional heat supply during the desulfurization and decarbonization process and reducing the operating cost of the system.

[0083] (3) The utility model utilizes a combination of chemical organic amines and iron oxide desulfurizers to achieve efficient separation of H2S and CO2 in blast furnace gas, helping the steel industry to reduce pollution and carbon emissions.

[0084] The specific implementation methods of the utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made according to the technical concept of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
