Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to a system for producing soda ash, and in particular to a system for producing soda ash using carbon dioxide and carbide slag in boiler flue gas. Background technology:
[0002] The main reaction in the ammonia-soda process for producing soda ash is as follows: ammonia gas is passed into saturated refined brine to generate ammonia brine. The ammonia brine reacts with carbon dioxide to produce sodium bicarbonate, which precipitates out. The precipitated sodium bicarbonate is then dehydrated and calcined to produce sodium carbonate, the soda ash. The filtrate containing ammonium chloride is mixed with lime milk (Ca(OH)2) and heated. The released ammonia gas can be recovered and recycled. Currently, the necessary carbon dioxide in the existing process comes from limestone calcination. The quicklime produced by calcination is then nitrated to obtain lime milk. Obtaining these two materials not only consumes a large amount of limestone ore, but also requires a large amount of coke during calcination. Based on a unit consumption of 1.2 tons of limestone per ton of soda ash and 0.1 tons of coke per ton of soda ash, an annual production of 1 million tons of soda ash requires 1.2 million tons of limestone and 100,000 tons of coke. How to reduce consumption is crucial to the market competitiveness, survival, and development of ammonia-soda process soda ash production enterprises.
[0003] Currently, all industries are required to reduce carbon emissions. While thermal power plants, which account for a large proportion of carbon emissions, are striving to find ways to sequester carbon, they lack truly feasible methods. Some thermal power companies have already used methods such as pressure swing adsorption (PSA) to concentrate and recover CO2 from boiler flue gas, producing industrial-grade or food-grade CO2 for external sale. There are no other superior technologies. Although this technology constitutes carbon sequestration for the company itself, the sold CO2 is mostly used as filler gas or protective gas, ultimately returning to the atmosphere, and rarely achieving true carbon sequestration.
[0004] Acetylene (C2H2) is one of the important raw materials in basic organic synthesis industries. The process of producing acetylene from calcium carbide (CaC2) using water (wet process) is simple and mature, and accounts for a large proportion in my country. Adding water to 1 ton of calcium carbide can produce more than 300 kilograms of acetylene gas, while simultaneously generating 10 tons of industrial waste liquid with a solid content of approximately 12%, commonly known as calcium carbide slag slurry. After gravity sedimentation and filtration, the clarified liquid is partially recycled for production, while the remaining calcium carbide slag is used for cement production, mixed with fly ash to make bricks, or simply stockpiled. This not only significantly reduces the recycling value of calcium carbide slag, but also causes substantial environmental pollution due to its discharge and accumulation. The invention patent with publication number CN 119080407 A discloses the use of calcium carbide slag to prepare lime slurry for the ammonia stripping process in the ammonia-soda process for producing soda ash. The lime slurry is prepared by mixing calcium carbide slag and quicklime in a certain ratio. However, the lime slurry only meets the requirements of the ammonia stripping process in the ammonia-soda process when the ratio of calcium carbide slag to quicklime is 0.43. This process involves a low input of calcium carbide slag and has a low utilization rate. Utility Model Content:

After calcination, it generates the final product, soda ash, and fixes carbon in the final product, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. It also reduces the amount of CO2 consumed by calcining limestone, and thus greatly reduces the consumption of limestone and coke.
[0012] (2) Comprehensive utilization of solid waste: The calcium carbide slag ash system grinds and screens the calcium carbide slag produced by the calcium carbide PVC production unit to obtain coarse powder, fine powder and ultrafine powder.

The lime milk that meets the ammonia stripping requirements of the soda ash system can be prepared and used in the ammonia stripping system to supplement the lime milk gap caused by the reduction of lime production. At the same time, it improves the utilization value and consumption of solid waste calcium carbide slag. Attached image description:

The coarse powder, fine powder, and ultrafine powder can be fully mixed during the screw conveying process in the ash-making feeding screw feeder 2.1, which helps to ensure the uniformity of the ash slurry prepared in the ash-making machine. The outlet of the water injection network 2.3 is connected to the lime water inlet and the backwash inlet of the lime slurry machine 2.2 via pipelines.

The CO2 PSA device 1.3 can be the CO2 PSA device disclosed in the utility model patent with patent number ZL202422625076.5, entitled "A PSA Device for Purifying and Recovering Carbon Dioxide in Boiler Flue Gas". After desulfurization and denitrification, the flue gas from the boiler 1.1 is drawn out by the internal fan of the PSA device 1.3. To avoid pressure fluctuations inside the chimney caused by the extracted flue gas, which would subsequently affect the data fluctuations at the monitoring points, an automatic air regulating valve is installed at the top of the chimney, with pressure and opening interlocked for control. The flue gas extracted from the chimney is concentrated by a CO2 pressure swing adsorption device 1.3 and is simultaneously output as product gas. The CO2 concentration in the product gas can be adjusted according to the adsorption pressure; according to the soda ash production process requirements of this embodiment, the target CO2 concentration is designed to be 38-45%. The obtained CO2 product gas replaces part of the lime kiln flue gas and enters the carbonation tower 3 to react with ammonia brine to generate NaHCO3, which is then calcined to produce the final product, soda ash, with carbon fixed in the final product.
[0022] The ammonia brine preparation unit 5 includes a dilute ammonia brine tank 5.1, a dilute ammonia brine pump 5.2, an ammonia brine clarification tank 5.3, an ammonia brine pump 5.4, an ammonia brine filter 5.5, an ammonia brine cooler 5.6, and an ammonia absorption tower 5.7.

[0023] The ammonia stripping unit 4 includes an ammonia stripping tower 4.1, a mother liquor cooling corrugated heat exchanger 4.2, a circulating water cooling corrugated heat exchanger 4.3, and an ammonia separator 4.4. The ammonia stripping tower 4.1, the mother liquor cooling corrugated heat exchanger 4.2, the circulating water cooling corrugated heat exchanger 4.3, and the ammonia separator 4.4 are connected in sequence by pipelines.
[0024] Example 2: A method for producing soda ash using the system of Example 1, comprising the following steps:
[0025] (1) CO2 product gas preparation and compression:
[0026] The CO2 product gas is prepared using a unit that enriches and prepares CO2 from boiler flue gas in a thermal power plant: After desulfurization and denitrification, the flue gas from boiler 1.1 is drawn out by an internal fan of a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) device 1.3. The flue gas drawn from the chimney is enriched by the CO2 PSA device 1.3 and simultaneously output as product gas. The CO2 concentration in the product gas can be adjusted according to the adsorption pressure. According to the soda ash production process requirements of this embodiment, the target CO2 concentration is designed to be 38-42%.
[0027] After being compressed by a compressor, the CO2 product gas is sent to the pre-carbonization and carbonization sections for alkali production.
[0028] The furnace gas from the calcining furnace is washed, cooled, and purified of ammonia before entering the furnace gas separator. It then passes through the gas distribution pipe and, according to production needs, incorporates some CO2 product gas. The gas then passes through the inlet silencer and filter before entering the compressor for compression. The compressed gas is sent to the lower section of the carbonization tower for alkali production. Excess gas is returned to the gas supply pipe via pipeline regulation and then incorporated into the furnace gas system.
[0029] (2) Preparation of lime slurry using a calcium carbide slag lime slurry unit: Coarse powder from the coarse powder feeding device, fine powder from the fine powder feeding device, and ultrafine powder from the ultrafine powder feeding device are fed into the lime slurry machine 2.2 via a lime slurry feeding screw feeder 2.1. The coarse, fine, and ultrafine powders are fully mixed during the screw conveying process within the lime slurry feeding screw feeder 2.1 to obtain a calcium carbide slag powder mixture. The calcium carbide slag powder mixture is added to the lime slurry machine with room temperature water and mixed evenly to obtain lime slurry. The concentration of the prepared lime slurry is 7.75–8.5 kmol / m³. 3 The viscosity is 0.2–0.3 mPa·s. The calcium carbide slag powder mixture with different particle size distributions consists of coarse powder, fine powder, and ultrafine powder in the following mass percentages: 0.5 mm ≤ d 粒径 Coarse powder <2mm accounts for 35% to 50%, and powder ≤10um accounts for 10%. 粒径 Fine powder <0.5mm accounts for 16% to 37%, d 粒径 The ultrafine powder with a particle size <10μm accounts for 23% to 41%, and the sum of the mass percentages of the coarse powder, the fine powder, and the ultrafine powder is 100%. The mass ratio of the calcium carbide slag powder mixture to the room temperature water is 1:2 to 1:3; the temperature of the room temperature water is 15℃ to 25℃.
[0030] (3) Ammonia recovery by passing lime slurry into the ammonia stripping tower: The heated mother liquor enters the preheating section of the ammonia stripping tower and exchanges heat with the gas coming from the distillation section, distilling off most of the CO2 and some free ammonia from the mother liquor. The preheated mother liquor from the preheating section flows into the lime slurry storage tank 7. The lime slurry pumped by the lime slurry pump enters the lime slurry storage tank 7 and mixes with the preheated mother liquor to form a blended liquid. The bound ammonia in the preheated mother liquor reacts with the calcium hydroxide in the lime slurry, decomposing to release free ammonia. The ammonia gas and blended liquid generated in the lime slurry storage tank 7 enter the tower from the upper part (12 turns) of the distillation section of the ammonia stripping tower. Low-pressure steam enters the tower from the bottom and comes into countercurrent contact with the blended liquid, heating and distilling off the free ammonia. The ammonia gas distilled from the ammonia stripping tower 4.1 is cooled and separated by the mother liquor cooling corrugated heat exchanger 4.2, the circulating water cooling corrugated heat exchanger 4.3, and the ammonia gas separator 4.4 before being sent to the ammonia absorption tower 5.7. The low-pressure steam temperature is 150-170℃, the low-pressure steam pressure is 0.25-0.35MPa, the lime slurry temperature is 80-100℃, the pressure at the bottom of the ammonia stripping tower is ≤0.065MPa and not lower than 0MPa, and the pressure in the middle of the ammonia stripping tower is ≤0.036MPa and not lower than 0MPa.
[0031] (4) The recovered ammonia gas and refined brine are reacted in an ammonia absorption tower to prepare ammonia brine: The refined brine is contacted countercurrently with the carbonization tail gas, absorbing NH3 and CO2 to become dilute ammonia brine, which flows by gravity into the dilute ammonia brine tank 5.1 and is pumped by the dilute ammonia brine pump 5.2 into the upper part of the ammonia absorption tower 5.7. From top to bottom, it passes through five washing trays and a cooling absorption section, absorbing NH3 and CO2 from the distilled mixed gas entering from the 10th cycle of the ammonia absorption tower to become hot ammonia brine. The hot ammonia brine exits from the 9th cycle and flows by gravity into the ammonia brine clarification tank 5.3 for clarification. The clarified ammonia brine is pumped by the ammonia brine pump 5.4 into the ammonia brine filter 5.5, and then into the ammonia brine cooler 5.6. After cooling, it is sent to the carbonization tower 3. The turbidity of the ammonia brine sent to the carbonization tower is ≤80ppm, and the temperature of the ammonia brine is 38~43℃.
[0032] (5) CO2 product gas and ammonia brine are fed into a carbonation tower for carbonation reaction to produce sodium bicarbonate:
[0033] Step 1 Pre-carbonization: The finished ammonia brine from step (4) enters the carbonization tower 3 from the 28th ring and comes into countercurrent contact with the CO2 product gas (cleaning gas) from step (1) in the tower. The gas stirs the liquid in the tower, dissolving the scale such as NaHCO3 in the tower. After the liquid (i.e. ammonia brine) absorbs part of the CO2 and is pre-carbonized, carbonized ammonia brine (i.e. neutralized water) is obtained. The neutralized water enters the neutralized water storage tank 8 from the bottom of the tower by pressure.
[0034] Step 2 Carbonization: Neutralized water from neutralized water storage tank 8 is pumped back into carbonization tower 3 via the 28th ring of neutralization water pump 9. CO2 product gas (middle section gas) from step (1) enters carbonization tower via the 7th ring; furnace gas (lower section gas) from calcination furnace enters carbonization tower via the bottom. Inside carbonization tower, lower section gas and middle section gas react with neutralized water in a countercurrent flow to form NaHCO3 crystals, which become coarser after cooling. The alkali solution (i.e., the extract) from the bottom of carbonization tower is sent to the calcination process. In order to obtain a suspension with high NaCl conversion rate, coarse NaHCO3 crystals, and low impurity content, and to reduce the loss of ammonia and carbon dioxide at the top of the tower, a large amount of cooling water (circulating water and direct flow water) is circulated in the cooling water tanks of carbonization tower (a total of 8 rings of tanks). The influent flow rate and the outlet water layer are adjusted according to the tower temperature and the outlet alkali temperature. In this embodiment, cooling water exits from the third (lower layer), sixth (middle layer), and eighth (upper layer) rings of the water tank and returns to the circulating water network. The CO2 volume concentration of the cleaning gas is 38-42%, the CO2 volume concentration of the lower section gas is ≥74%, the oxygen volume percentage of the lower section gas is ≤2%, and the temperature of the lower section gas is 30-45℃; the CO2 volume concentration of the middle section gas is 38-42%, the oxygen volume percentage of the middle section gas is ≤2%, and the temperature of the middle section gas is 35-45℃; the temperature of the carbonization tower in ring 5 is 35-45℃ during the carbonization stage; the temperature of the carbonization tower in ring 12 is 58-70℃ during the carbonization stage; the temperature of the carbonization tower in ring 17 is 60-72℃ during the carbonization stage; the temperature of the carbonization tower in ring 23 is 50-60℃ during the carbonization stage; and the NaCl conversion rate can reach 76%.
[0035] (6) Sodium bicarbonate is filtered and calcined to obtain soda ash product.
