[0002] The field of iron and steel metallurgy produces large quantities of steel slag. Currently, the typical method for disposing of this solid waste is to simply treat the slag before incorporating it into cement clinker. However, this treatment method is not ideal because steel slag is highly alkaline, which can degrade cement performance. Furthermore, with the increasing adoption of green production, steel mills and other industrial manufacturers are facing environmental protection requirements.

[0003] Among flue gas decarbonization technologies, most publicly available include hot potash, organic amine, adsorption, and membrane separation. These technologies enrich carbon dioxide from flue gas, producing carbon dioxide with a purity exceeding 99%, which is then stored and disposed of. However, these carbon capture technologies consume a lot of energy and lack the ability to co-dispose of solid waste.

[0004] Ammonium chloride also has the chemical property of dissolving steel slag. Dissolving steel slag with ammonium chloride produces soluble products such as ammonia, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride, which can be used to absorb carbon dioxide from flue gas. During this carbon dioxide absorption process, the ammonium chloride is regenerated, enabling recycling.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design an ammonia-ammonium chloride catalytic system and process for decarbonizing steel slag solid waste and flue gas. Utility Model Content

[0024] The process of the ammonia-ammonium chloride catalytic method system for decarbonization of steel slag solid waste and flue gas includes the following steps:

[0025] S1. Mixing ammonium chloride solution and a certain amount of steel slag in a steel slag dissolving tank 1 and heating to 90°C, the steel slag dissolves and releases ammonia gas, and at the same time produces an acidic suspension containing solid magnesium hydroxide, solid ferric hydroxide, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride. The pH value of the acidic suspension is less than or equal to 4.

[0026] The following chemical reactions occur in the slag dissolving tank:

[0027] ① Dissolution of steel slag:

[0028] CaO·SiO2+NH4Cl→CaCl2+NH3↑+SiO2↓

[0029] MgO·SiO2+NH4Cl→MgCl2+NH3↑+SiO2↓

[0030] Fe2O3+NH4Cl→FeCl3+NH3↑

[0031] Al2O3+NH4Cl→AlCl3+NH3↑

[0032] ②Hydrolysis reaction of ferric chloride and aluminum chloride:

[0033] FeCl3+H2O→Fe(OH)3+HCl(L)

[0034] AlCl3+H2O→Al(OH)3+HCl(L);

[0035] S2, the generated ammonia gas is condensed, cooled and washed in the ammonia condenser cooler 2, and converted into ammonia water with a concentration of 20%. The produced ammonia water is first transported to the ammonia water tank 3;

[0036] S3, ammonia water is sent into the decarbonization tower 5 by the ammonia water pump 4, and flue gas is input into the decarbonization tower 5 at the same time. Carbon dioxide in the flue gas reacts with ammonia water to generate ammonium bicarbonate, which then enters the acid gas decomposition tower 9 to generate ammonium bicarbonate reaction formula:

[0037] CO2+NH3→NH4HCO3;

[0038] S4. The acidic suspension is fed into the ammonia scrubber 7 by the ammonia scrubber feed pump 16. The flue gas after decarbonization enters the ammonia scrubber 7. The acidic suspension fully recovers the ammonia.

[0041] S5, the suspension after absorbing ammonia enters the primary membrane separator 12 from the bottom of the ammonia scrubber 7, and an appropriate amount of ammonia water is added to adjust the pH value to 6-8, preferably, the pH value is 7, and the solid impurities of silicon dioxide, iron hydroxide, and aluminum hydroxide are filtered out;

[0042] S6, the filtrate of the primary membrane separator 12 enters the secondary membrane separator 13. At this time, the filtrate still contains a lot of soluble calcium and magnesium salts. At the same time, an appropriate amount of ammonia water is added to adjust the pH value to 9-11. The magnesium chloride in the filtrate undergoes hydrolysis reaction to obtain high-purity magnesium hydroxide. The following hydrolysis reaction occurs in the secondary membrane separator:

[0043] MgCl2+NH3+H2O→Mg(OH)2↓+NH4Cl;

[0044] S7, the ammonium bicarbonate entering the acid gas decomposition tower 9 decomposes into carbon dioxide gas and dilute ammonia solution. The carbon dioxide gas is released from the top of the acid gas decomposition tower 9 and enters the carbon neutralization reactor 14. The dilute ammonia solution is discharged from the bottom of the acid gas decomposition tower 9 and fed into the ammonia distillation tower 11 through the ammonia feed pump 10;

[0045] S8, the dilute ammonia solution is heated at high temperature in the ammonia distillation tower 11, ammonia is evaporated from the top of the tower and sent to the carbon neutralization reactor 14, and the wastewater at the bottom of the tower is sent to the wastewater treatment station;

[0046] S9. In the carbon neutralization reactor, calcium chloride in the filtrate reacts with ammonia and carbon dioxide to produce calcium carbonate and ammonium chloride solution. The ammonium chloride solution is also an ammonium salt solution. The ammonium chloride solution is returned to the slag dissolution tank 1 by the ammonium chloride solution pump 15.
