Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical technology, specifically to a dilute sulfuric acid recycling device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, environmental protection and energy conservation have become key development goals for enterprises. In the process of producing sulfuric acid from sulfur, the environmental protection tail gas treatment devices all use hydrogen peroxide absorption. After absorption, dilute sulfuric acid containing hydrogen peroxide is produced. The common method for collecting this dilute sulfuric acid is to replace part of the makeup water required for the second absorption tower. This simple collection method has two drawbacks: First, in high humidity weather, less makeup water is needed for the second absorption tower, reducing the amount of dilute sulfuric acid recycled. This leads to overflow of the dilute sulfuric acid storage in the environmental protection tail gas treatment device, increasing the acid concentration and further inhibiting the tail gas treatment reaction. This results in increased hydrogen peroxide consumption, posing safety hazards. Excessive accumulation of dilute sulfuric acid can only be discharged as wastewater and requires neutralization, further increasing production costs. Second, in dry weather, excessive dilute sulfuric acid is recovered from the second absorption tower, resulting in excessively high hydrogen peroxide content in the finished sulfuric acid. This leads to excessively high iron content in the refined acid (battery sulfuric acid) produced in downstream devices, making it unusable as sulfuric acid. Therefore, a dilute sulfuric acid recycling device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the dilute sulfuric acid pump is a hydraulic dual-diaphragm alarm metering pump, the material of the dilute sulfuric acid pump is PTFE-lined, the diaphragm pressure value of the dilute sulfuric acid pump can be displayed on the DCS, when the diaphragm pressure value is "0" it means the pump is operating normally, otherwise it means the pump is faulty, the dilute sulfuric acid pump is equipped with a frequency converter, and the frequency is remotely adjusted through the DCS to control the reuse flow.
[0011] Preferably, the dilute sulfuric acid storage tank is located within the refined acid unit area, and the dilute sulfuric acid storage tank is made of steel lined with PTFE.

[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0020] Example: Figure 1 As shown, a dilute sulfuric acid recycling device includes a tail gas treatment device 12, a tail gas circulation pump 10, a dilute sulfuric acid pump 4, a filter 3, a density meter 1, an acid concentration meter 7, and a dilute sulfuric acid storage tank 9.
[0021] The tail gas treatment device 12 is equipped with a tail suction circulation pump 10 and a dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 on both sides. The dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 is a hydraulic double diaphragm alarm metering pump, and its material is PTFE-lined. The diaphragm pressure value of the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 can be displayed on the DCS. When the diaphragm pressure value is "0", it means that the pump is operating normally; otherwise, it means that the pump is faulty. The dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 is equipped with a frequency converter, and the frequency can be remotely adjusted through the DCS to control the reuse flow. The dilute sulfuric acid storage tank 9 is located at the tail end of the tail suction circulation pump 10. The dilute sulfuric acid storage tank 9 is located in the refined acid unit area, and its material is steel lined with PTFE. The tail end of the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 is connected to the HRS diluter 11. A density meter 1 is installed on one side of the tail gas treatment device 12. The density meter 1 is based on the mass flow rate and is resistant to dilute sulfuric acid corrosion. The acid concentration meter... 7 is located between the HRS diluter 11 and the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4, and all components are connected by a conveying pipe 2. The conveying pipe 2 is a steel-lined PTFE pipe. The dilute sulfuric acid in the tail gas treatment device 12 is conveyed through the conveying pipe 2. The density of the circulating liquid in the tail gas treatment device 12 is displayed by the density meter 1, and the acid concentration in the HRS diluter 11 is displayed by the acid concentration meter 7. A filter 3 is provided between the tail gas treatment device 12 and the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4. The filter 3 is a Y-type filter 3. The dilute sulfuric acid in the tail gas treatment device 12 is conveyed to the filter 3 through the conveying pipe 2, and then conveyed to the HRS diluter 11 by the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 to replace part of the demineralized water. At the same time, the excess dilute sulfuric acid is conveyed to the dilute sulfuric acid storage tank 9 at the end by the tail suction circulation pump 10.
[0022] Specifically, a check valve 5 is provided on the conveying pipe 2 located at the outlet of the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4. The check valve 5 is made of PTFE-lined material. The check valve 5 prevents the high-temperature and high-concentration sulfuric acid in the HRS diluter 11 from flowing back into the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 through the conveying pipe 2. At the same time, a check valve 5 is also provided at the inlet of the HRS diluter 11.
[0023] Specifically, a flow meter 6 is installed on the conveying pipe 2 located at the outlet of the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4. The flow meter 6 is an electromagnetic flow meter 6. The internal material of the electromagnetic flow meter 6 is PFA or an equivalent sulfuric acid corrosion resistant material. The flow meter 6 can transmit data to the DCS. Based on the value on the flow meter 6, the frequency conversion adjustment operation of the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 is performed. If the data of the circulating liquid density meter 11 is too high, and the data of the acid concentration meter 77 of the HRS diluter 11 is too low, the frequency conversion of the dilute sulfuric acid pump 44 is turned off. At the same time, the excess dilute sulfuric acid is transported to the dilute sulfuric acid storage tank 99 through the tail suction circulation pump 10 for the production of 50%-70% acid.
[0024] Specifically, a pneumatic regulating valve 8 is provided at the inlet of the dilute sulfuric acid storage tank 9. The pneumatic regulating valve 8 is equipped with an intelligent electric positioner and a filter pressure reducing device. The density of the circulating liquid is controlled by the pneumatic regulating valve 8 so that the data displayed by the density meter 1 is normal.
[0025] Working Principle: Based on the density of the circulating liquid in the tail gas treatment device 12 (displayed by density meter 1) and the acid concentration in the HRS diluent 11 (displayed by acid concentration meter 7), the dilute sulfuric acid in the tail gas treatment device 12 is filtered through the dilute sulfuric acid pipeline and then pumped to the HRS diluent 11 by the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4, replacing part of the demineralized water. The dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 is regulated by frequency conversion. To prevent high-temperature, high-concentration sulfuric acid in the HRS diluent 11 from flowing back into the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 through the dilute sulfuric acid pipeline, a check valve 5 is installed at the outlet of the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4, and a check valve 5 is also installed at the inlet of the HRS diluent 11. The operator adjusts the frequency conversion of the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 in the DCS according to the flow meter 6 on the dilute sulfuric acid pipeline at the outlet of the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4. If the data displayed by the circulating liquid density meter 1 is too high, and the data displayed by the acid concentration meter 7 in the HRS diluent 11 is too low, the frequency conversion of the dilute sulfuric acid pump 4 is reduced, and the excess dilute sulfuric acid is pumped to the dilute sulfuric acid storage tank 9 through the tail suction circulation pump 10 for the production of 50%-70% acid. During this period, the density of the circulating liquid is controlled by the pneumatic regulating valve 8, so that the data displayed by the density meter 1 is normal.
[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
