Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical industry device, concretely relates to a four-stage absorption and analysis device for purifying acid gas. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

[0002] The production process of dimethyl disulfide includes three sections, i.e., a thiol synthesis section, a disulfide synthesis section and a thiol synthesis section. The latter usually adopts a method of generating thiol and sulfide by reacting methanol with hydrogen sulfide, and a certain amount of synthesis gas is generated in the reaction, including hydrogen sulfide, thiol (and sulfide), methane, carbon oxide, etc. The synthesis gas passes through a condenser, and the non-condensed gas after condensation contains a large amount of hydrogen sulfide. If the non-condensed gas is directly sent back to the reactor for recycling by using a compressor, the thiol and sulfide in the gas will cause serious corrosion to the seal of the compressor after being compressed. Therefore, at the present stage, the non-condensed gas is often directly incinerated or treated in tail gas, which not only wastes cost, but also increases the difficulty of tail gas treatment and environmental burden.

[0003] On the other hand, the reaction gas is mostly prepared by the method of coal chemical industry, and a large amount of carbon dioxide is contained in the acid gas from the low-temperature methanol washing device or the acid water gas stripping device, and the proportion is generally between 70% and 90%. In order to produce organic sulfur chemical products by using the hydrogen sulfide resource, the hydrogen sulfide needs to be purified. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a four-stage absorption and analysis device for purifying acid gas, which purifies the hydrogen sulfide in the acid mixed gas of raw materials and reaction process, so as to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical scheme: a four-stage absorption and analysis device for purifying acid gas, characterized by comprising a methanol absorption tower, a carbon dioxide analysis tower, a hydrogen sulfide analysis tower and a thiol analysis tower. A mixed gas inlet is arranged at the lower part of the methanol absorption tower body, a methanol inlet is arranged at the upper part of the tower body, and the upper part outlet of the tower body is connected with the inlet of a separation tank. A non-condensed gas outlet is arranged at the upper part of the separation tank, and the lower part of the separation tank is connected with the tower kettle of the methanol absorption tower. The inlet of the carbon dioxide analysis tower is connected with the tower kettle of the methanol absorption tower, the upper part outlet is connected with a tail gas treatment system, the inlet of the hydrogen sulfide analysis tower is connected with the lower part outlet of the carbon dioxide analysis tower, the upper part outlet of the hydrogen sulfide analysis tower is connected with the tail gas treatment system, and the lower part outlet is connected with the inlet of the thiol analysis tower. The upper part outlet of the thiol analysis tower is connected with a purification system, the lower part outlet is connected with a circulating methanol pipeline, and the circulating methanol pipeline is connected with the methanol inlet after being converged with a fresh methanol pipeline through a multistage condenser.

[0006] Further, a methanol rich liquid feeding pump and a methanol analysis preheater are arranged on the pipeline connecting the tower kettle of the methanol absorption tower and the carbon dioxide analysis tower.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this invention are: this device can effectively recover residual hydrogen sulfide from mercaptan and disulfide synthesis units, while simultaneously purifying carbon dioxide, eliminating the need for a separate hydrogen sulfide purification unit, thus saving investment and land area. This device can obtain pure hydrogen sulfide at the top of the hydrogen sulfide stripping tower by increasing the pressure. The high-pressure stripping tower also solves the problem of hydrogen sulfide not being able to be delivered to higher-pressure equipment. Attached Figure Description
