Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of industrial flue gas multi-pollutant treatment and sulfur resource utilization, and in particular to a system for catalytically removing sulfur dioxide to produce sulfur. Background Art

[0002] ZL200410056878.3 proposes a method and apparatus for the forced oxidation of calcium sulfite, an intermediate product in flue gas desulfurization. Air generated by an oxidizing air generator is pumped into a slurry tank. A side-injection agitator is placed between the outlet of each air lance and the tank wall. This method reduces power consumption and ensures efficient forced oxidation. The unoxidized calcium hemihydrate sulfite in the final product of the absorption tower forced oxidation system is less than 0.1%, resulting in a high oxidation efficiency and ensuring the operational efficiency of the wet desulfurization system and the quality of the byproducts. This device removes sulfur dioxide from industrial flue gas, but produces byproducts such as desulfurized gypsum, which creates secondary pollution. ZL200610090638.4 proposes a method for desulfurizing flue gas from coal-fired boilers. This method uses industrial and agricultural waste as a desulfurizer and adds it to the boiler during coal combustion. This method achieves flue gas desulfurization while consuming a large amount of waste. While this method can alleviate the problem of large-scale waste pollution, the desulfurization effect is poor and it does not effectively utilize the sulfur resources in industrial flue gas.

[0003] Therefore, this patent proposes a system for catalytically removing sulfur dioxide to produce sulfur. This system removes pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and smoke from industrial flue gas. Simultaneously, through catalysis, circulating water cooling, and condensation, it converts sulfur resources in industrial flue gas into high-value-added sulfur, reducing process energy consumption while significantly increasing economic benefits.

[0016] Meaning of the reference numerals: 1 is the dust removal section, 2 is the catalytic reactor, 3 is the sulfur production section, 4 is the metal filter, 5 is the electromagnetic vibration controller, 6 is the ash hopper, 7 is the ash discharge device, 8 is the catalyst layer, 9 is the circulating water pipeline, 10 is the ice water bath pipeline, 11 is the ceramic layer, and 12 is the sulfur collection bin. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the following embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto:

[0018] like Figure 1Figure 2 shows a system for catalytically removing sulfur dioxide to produce sulfur. From left to right, the system comprises a dust removal section 1, a catalytic reactor 2, and a sulfur production section 3. The dust removal section 1 is equipped with a metal filter 4, while the sulfur production section 3 consists of a circulating water cooling section and an ice-water quenching section. An electromagnetic vibration controller 5 is located at the top of the dust removal section 1, and an ash hopper 6 is located at the bottom. An ash discharge device 7 is located below the ash hopper. A catalyst layer 8 is located within the catalytic reactor 2. A circulating water pipeline 9 is located outside the circulating water cooling section, and an ice-water quenching section is equipped with an ice-water bath pipeline 10. A sulfur collection bin 12 is located at the bottom of the sulfur production section 3. The ice-water quenching section is arranged at an angle and has a ceramic layer 11 on its inner surface. The metal filter 4 has a filtration accuracy of 3 to 10 μm. The tilt angle θ of the ice-water quenching section is 5 to 15°.

[0019] The specific operating process is as follows: the first section of the system is the dust removal section 1, the second section is the catalytic reactor 2, and the third section is the sulfur generation section 3. After the flue gas removes particulate matter in the dust removal section, it enters the catalytic reactor. The catalytic reactor is followed by the sulfur generation section. Solid sulfur is collected at the bottom outlet of the sulfur generation section, and the treated flue gas is piped into the subsequent process sections. The catalyst in the catalyst layer 8 is a rare earth-based catalyst with cerium Ce and lanthanum La as the main active components. The ice-water bath pipe 10 circulates an ice-water mixture. The ceramic layer 11 is made of alumina ceramic.

[0020] Industrial flue gas enters the system through pipelines and first passes through a metal filter with a micron-level filtration accuracy to trap dust. After long-term operation, dust accumulated on the metal filter is shaken off by an electromagnetic vibration controller. The trapped and shaken dust falls into the ash hopper below for discharge, effectively preventing dust from clogging the pores of the catalyst layer in the catalytic reactor and affecting catalytic efficiency. The dedusted industrial sulfur-containing flue gas then passes through the rare earth-based catalyst layer, where the sulfur dioxide in the flue gas is catalytically converted into gaseous sulfur. The sulfur-containing flue gas then enters the sulfur generation section. The gaseous sulfur is first cooled in a circulating water cooling section to initially lower the flue gas temperature, further reducing the temperature of the flue gas in the subsequent ice water bath quenching section and enhancing the cooling effect. Finally, the flue gas is rapidly cooled in the ice water bath cooling section, where the gaseous sulfur condenses into solid sulfur, which then falls onto the smooth, angled ceramic layer below. The solid sulfur eventually slides into a sulfur collection bin for unified collection. The dedusted and desulfurized flue gas is finally discharged at a low temperature.
