Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a pretreatment process for fine desulfurization of blast furnace gas, and specifically to a pretreatment system for improving the service life of hydrolysis agent for fine desulfurization of blast furnace gas, belonging to the technical field of fine desulfurization of blast furnace gas. Background Art
[0002] The main components of raw blast furnace gas generated by the blast furnace ironmaking process are: dust, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, organic sulfur (COS, CS2), hydrogen chloride, soluble salts, etc.
[0003] The sulfur in blast furnace gas comes from the furnace burden charged into the blast furnace (such as sinter, coke, pulverized coal, etc.). After high-temperature smelting, about 85 - 90% of the sulfur in the furnace burden enters the blast furnace slag, about 5% is transferred into the hot metal, and only about 10 - 5% is transferred into the blast furnace gas. The formed sulfides are mainly of two types: one is inorganic compounds of sulfur, mainly hydrogen sulfide (H2S), accounting for about 30%; the other is organic compounds of sulfur, such as carbonyl sulfide (COS), carbon disulfide (CS2), etc., among which carbonyl sulfide (COS) accounts for about 70%, and trace amounts of carbon disulfide.
[0004] The chlorine element in blast furnace gas mainly comes from iron-bearing burden, coke and pulverized coal. Only a small amount of chlorine element enters the slag, about 25% enters the dry dedusting ash, and about 60% enters the blast furnace gas.
[0005] In order to solve the corrosion problem of the gas main pipe caused by impurities (salts, HCl, etc.) in blast furnace gas, there are two common practices in the iron and steel metallurgy industry:
[0006] 1) Set up a separate water washing tower, spray a large amount of alkaline solution (liquid-gas ratio 0.6 - 0.7 L / m3) for water washing. After the external drainage is precipitated with medicine, it is recycled. Problems: Due to the large amount of water sprayed, the equipment investment of the water washing tower is high; the water treatment system is huge, and salts in the recycled water are continuously enriched, further deteriorating the saturation concentration of impurities (salts, HCl, etc.) in the gas, and more likely to cause scaling and corrosion of the gas pipeline.
[0007] 2) Spray alkali at multiple levels (liquid-gas ratio 0.05 - 0.2 L / m3) on the gas pipeline for water washing, and the external drainage is transported and treated by tanker. Problems: Since the partial pressure of water vapor in the gas after passing through the TRT (equipment for generating electricity by utilizing the residual pressure of blast furnace top gas) has reached the saturation equilibrium state, a small amount of water washing cannot break through the double electric layer on the surface of existing impurities (dust, salts, HCl, etc.), and it basically enters the gas condensate system in the form of liquid mechanical water in the gas, unable to achieve the goal of impurity and salt removal, and instead affecting the normal combustion of the user's burner.

Its main functions are to increase the flue gas discharge temperature and lifting height to improve the effect of flue gas emission, and at the same time recover thermal energy.
[0032] See Figure 1 , a pretreatment method for prolonging the service life of the hydrolysis agent for fine desulfurization of blast furnace gas. After the normal - temperature blast furnace gas is heated and raised in temperature by the GGH heat exchanger, it is connected to a special integrated device for alkali - liquid injection and mixed purification; the flue gas after passing through the special integrated device for alkali - liquid injection and mixed purification exchanges heat with steam in a steam heater to further increase the temperature; the steam condenses into steam condensate in the steam heater; the steam condensate is connected to an alkali - liquid tank, and the steam condensate in the alkali - liquid tank is sprayed into the gas inlet of the special integrated device for alkali - liquid injection and mixed purification through an alkali - liquid injection atomization device 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 , a metering device is added to the alkali - liquid tank.
[0035] In this embodiment, after being heated by the steam heater, the temperature of the blast furnace gas is ≥60°C.
[0036] Continue to see Figure 1 , a pretreatment system for prolonging the service life of the hydrolysis agent for fine desulfurization of blast furnace gas, including a GGH heat exchanger, a steam condensate injection atomization device, an alkali - liquid tank, and a special integrated device for alkali - liquid injection and mixed purification; the special integrated device for alkali - liquid injection and mixed purification is arranged after the GGH heat exchanger and before the steam heater. The steam condensate injection atomization device uses steam condensate and alkali - liquid as the media for acid removal and impurity removal, and mixes the alkali - liquid in the alkali - liquid tank with the steam condensate and then atomizes and sprays it into the gas inlet of the special integrated device for alkali - liquid injection and mixed purification.
[0037] In this embodiment, see Figure 2, the special device for integrated mixing and purification of alkali solution injection is in the shape of a cylinder, which includes a liquid injection and atomization device 1, a sine screen 2, a demisting device 3, and a flushing device 4; the liquid injection and atomization device 1 is installed around the gas inlet; the sine screen 2 is installed obliquely downward in front of the gas inlet passage; the demisting device 3 is installed horizontally above the gas inlet and covers the entire cross-section of the cylinder; the flushing device 4 is arranged above the demisting device 3, and the flushing direction is downward; gas flow direction: the gas first mixes with the alkali solution of the liquid injection and atomization device 1, enters the special device, collides and filters with the sine screen 2, then enters the fixed bed demisting device 3, and finally enters the steam heater of the next process from the gas outlet; the flow direction of mechanical water, dust and salts: the gas first mixes and coagulates with the alkali solution of the liquid injection and atomization device 1, enters the special device and collides with the sine screen 2, the large-particle mechanical water, dust and salts sink into the sewage hopper of the special device under the action of gravity, and the fine particles enter the demisting device 3 with the gas for further purification and dehydration. The demisting device 3 is regularly flushed with water, and the sewage in the sewage hopper is discharged regularly.
[0038] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , the gas outlet at the top and the sewage outlet at the bottom of the cylinder are both conical.
[0039] In this embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 2 , the sine screen has a multi-layer screen surface structure. When the air flow hits the screen surface, its warp or weft fluctuates like a string.
[0040] In Figure 1 , before the blast furnace gas from the pipe network enters the special device for integrated mixing and purification of alkali solution injection, it is first heated up by the GGH heat exchanger. The purpose is to use the high-temperature gas before entering the cooler to exchange heat with the cold gas, causing a temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of the cold gas, making the water vapor in the gas in an undersaturated state, which helps the fine mist of the injected alkali solution to quickly wet and coagulate with impurities such as dust and salts in the integrated mixing and purification special device, and no large amount of mechanical water will be generated.
[0041] It should be noted that:
[0042] Figure 1 , the steam condensate in is generated in the heater process and normally needs to be discharged and treated. This method can directly utilize the local materials without increasing the production cost after utilization. The spraying and washing process is simple and reliable, with low material and energy consumption and low production cost, and there is no pollution of the three wastes in the production process.

The GGH heat exchanger uses the hot and cold gases in the process for gas-gas heat exchange, which is an energy-saving configuration for the fine desulfurization of gas.

[0046] Flow directions of mechanical water, dust and salts: The gas first mixes and coalesces with the alkali liquid of the alkali liquid spraying and atomizing device 1, enters the special device and collides with the sine screen 2. Large particles of mechanical water, dust and salts sink into the sewage hopper of the special device under the action of gravity, and fine particles enter the demisting device 3 together with the gas for further purification and dehydration. The demisting device 3 is regularly flushed with water, and the sewage in the sewage hopper is discharged regularly.
[0047] In the prior art, as introduced in the background art part, the alkali liquid spraying is generally arranged before the GGH heat exchanger, while in the present invention, it is arranged after the GGH heat exchanger. According to the fine desulfurization process of blast furnace gas, after the cold gas is heated by the GGH, the temperature difference is more than 10°C, and the water content in the saturated state in the gas increases by about 20 g / m 3 Above, the liquid-gas ratio for complete atomization of the sprayed alkali liquid can reach 0.02 L / m 3 , so that the water content in the gas is in an undersaturated state. Moreover, steam condensate and alkali liquid atomization are used for acid removal, chlorine removal and impurity removal, with less water consumption, no large amount of sewage generated, no secondary pollution and process energy consumption, and providing clean and stable gas for the next process (such as removing hydrogen sulfide from gas; realizing anti-corrosion protection of gas pipelines, etc.).

[0049] The alkali liquid spraying integrated mixing and purification special device can remove H2S in the gas with an efficiency of more than 30%, which can reduce the filling amount of the desulfurization adsorbent or prolong the service life of the desulfurization adsorbent;
[0050] The special device for integrated lye injection mixing and purification removes acidic impurities (H2S), dechlorinates (such as HCl), and salts in the coal gas, and also has an effect on removing dust in the coal gas; the residual gaseous basic substances in the coal gas play a role in repairing and promoting the activation of the basic active sites of the hydrolysis agent, which can extend the service life of the hydrolysis agent.
[0051] The steam condensation injection atomization device uses micro-mist lye injection without reducing the temperature of the coal gas. The removal efficiency of H2S in the coal gas can reach more than 30%, reducing the filling amount of the desulfurization adsorbent or extending the service life of the desulfurization adsorbent.
[0052] The amount of steam condensate generated by the heating exchanger is matched with the fully atomized water volume of the lye injection. The molar flow ratio (R) of H2O and COS in the coal gas can be controlled within an appropriate range, which has no poisoning effect on the hydrolysis agent; the condensate water generated by the integrated mixing and purification special device enters the coal gas water seal water and is regularly discharged; the spraying process is simple and reliable, with low material and energy consumption and extremely low production cost, and there is no pollution of the three wastes during the process.
[0053] The sine screen in the integrated mixing and purification special device is a multi-layer screen surface structure.

[0054] The utility model can be widely used in the pretreatment method and device for fine desulfurization of blast furnace gas in iron and steel metallurgy enterprises, ensuring the stable operation of fine desulfurization of blast furnace gas and extending the service life of the hydrolysis agent for fine desulfurization of blast furnace gas.
[0055] The above are the preferred embodiments of the utility model. Those of ordinary skill in the art can also make various transformations or improvements on this basis. Without departing from the general concept of the utility model, these transformations or improvements should all fall within the scope of protection required by the utility model.
