Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to SO2 reduction technical field especially is related to a SO2 reduction furnace and sulphur recovery system. BACKGROUND
[0002] SO2 is one of the most widely existing and highest content gaseous pollutants in coal-fired, non-ferrous and other industrial fields, and improper treatment will cause serious environmental pollution. The traditional treatment scheme is to convert it into gypsum by using lime dry method or wet method, but the desulfurization gypsum is poor in quality and low in value, and the accumulation of a large amount of desulfurization gypsum will also cause secondary pollution, so it is necessary to develop new SO2 treatment technology.
[0003] SO2 reduction conversion is a promising resource utilization method, which converts SO2 into elemental sulfur through the action of SO2 and reducing agent, which is not only convenient for storage and transportation, but also has high application value. Biomass reduction of SO2 is a new type of SO2 reduction technology, which has the advantages of wide source and low cost compared with traditional reducing agents such as CH4, H2 and CO, and the volatile content of biomass is high, which will pyrolyze at high temperature to produce reducing gas. These reducing gases contain H2, alkanes and olefins, which can reduce SO2 at a lower temperature, which also improves the ability of biomass to reduce SO2. However, the unreacted reducing organic gas is easy to condense when entering the downstream, causing pipeline blockage and equipment corrosion, and the accumulation of tar is the biggest defect and limiting factor of biomass utilization.

[0060] Each of the above embodiments can be implemented individually, or in any combination of two or more. The following detailed description of specific examples will further illustrate these embodiments.
[0061] Example 1:
[0062] This embodiment provides an SO2 reduction furnace. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the SO2 reduction furnace of this embodiment includes a reduction furnace body 1. The bottom of the reduction furnace body 1 is provided with a gas inlet 11 for introducing SO2 mixed gas, and the top of the reduction furnace body 1 is provided with a gas outlet 12.
[0063] The reduction furnace body 1 in this embodiment includes, from top to bottom, a material storage area 13, a high-temperature pyrolysis reduction area 14, and a cooling recovery area 15. The high-temperature pyrolysis reduction area 14 is equipped with an auxiliary heating component 16, which is used to adjust and maintain the high temperature required for pyrolysis reduction.
[0064] To suppress tar generation during the reduction of SO2 by carbon-based materials, the top of the reduction furnace body 1 is provided with a first feeding channel 2 and a second feeding channel 3 concentrically arranged within the first feeding channel 2. The first feeding channel 2 extends into the storage area 13 and communicates with the high-temperature pyrolysis reduction zone 14, while the second feeding channel 3 penetrates the first feeding channel 2 and communicates with the high-temperature pyrolysis reduction zone 14. The top of the first feeding channel 2 is connected to a first quantitative feed hopper 21 for quantitatively conveying low-volatility auxiliary reducing materials; the top of the second feeding channel 3 is connected to a second quantitative feed hopper 31 for quantitatively conveying high-volatility carbon-based materials.
[0065] This embodiment fully considers the performance differences between low-volatility auxiliary reducing materials and high-volatility carbon-based materials. Therefore, it sets up a first feeding channel 2 and a second feeding channel 3 to feed the two types of carbon-based materials in separate sections. The high-volatility carbon-based material is directly fed into the high-temperature pyrolysis reduction zone 14 through the second feeding channel 3 and is fully pyrolyzed and gasified in the high-temperature pyrolysis reduction zone 14, thereby effectively avoiding the generation of tar byproducts. The low-volatility auxiliary reducing material is fed into the storage zone 13 through the first feeding channel 2 and slowly moves down into the high-temperature pyrolysis reduction zone 14 during the gasification and SO2 reduction process until it mixes with the high-volatility carbon-based material in the high-temperature pyrolysis reduction zone 14 and is fully pyrolyzed and gasified together.
[0066] Example 2:
[0067] This embodiment provides an SO2 reduction furnace.
[0068] The SO2 reduction furnace in this embodiment includes a reduction furnace body 1. The diameter of the reduction furnace body 1 in this embodiment is 1000-4000 mm, and the height of the reduction furnace body 1 is 3-6 times its diameter. The reduction furnace body 1 is lined with heat-insulating material and covered with heat-insulating material.

[0071] In this embodiment, the reduction furnace body 1 has a first feeding channel 2 and a second feeding channel 3 concentrically arranged within the first feeding channel 2.

The gas inlet of the reflux fan 9 is connected to the dust removal and cooling unit 5, and the gas outlet of the reflux fan 9 is connected to the reduction furnace body 1, specifically, to the reflux gas inlet 17 on the reduction furnace body 1. Figure 4 As shown, the gas output from gas outlet 12, after passing through dust removal and cooling unit 5, can have part of the gas returned to return gas inlet 17 by return fan 9.
[0078] Example 5:
[0079] This embodiment provides an SO2 reduction furnace and a sulfur recovery system, which mainly includes the following:
[0080] ① The SO2 reduction reactor mainly includes the following units: a first feeding channel 2 and a first quantitative feeding bin 21 for auxiliary coke material at the top, and a corresponding gas isolation unit; a second feeding channel 3 and a second quantitative feeding bin 31 for high-volatile carbon-based material at the top, and a corresponding gas isolation unit; the upper middle part of the furnace is the auxiliary coke material decomposition and SO2 deep reduction zone, i.e., the storage zone 13; the lower middle part of the furnace is the high-temperature pyrolysis reduction zone 14 containing the auxiliary heating component 16, and the high-volatile carbon-based material pyrolysis reduction zone is located between the high-temperature pyrolysis reduction zone 14 and the storage zone 13; the auxiliary heating component 16 includes a heat storage shell 161, an electric heating element 162, and an online slag scraping and slag loosening element 163; the tail end of the furnace is the cooling recovery zone 15; and the bottom of the furnace is the slag discharge outlet 151, which is connected to the matching water-sealed slag pool 152.
[0081] ② The two carbon-based material feed inlets at the top of the reduction furnace adopt a concentric cylindrical design. The inner cylinder (i.e., the second feeding channel 3) transports high-volatile carbon-based materials, while the annular area (i.e., the first feeding channel 2) transports low-volatile coke materials. Both materials are metered into the upper part of the furnace from their respective top feed bins via a secondary rotary valve 4 through the annular feed inlet. The secondary rotary valve 4 ensures solid transport while preventing gas leakage, achieving gas isolation. The coke materials mainly accumulate at the top of the reactor (i.e., the storage area 13) and slowly move downwards during gasification and SO2 reduction. The high-volatile carbon-based materials directly enter the high-temperature pyrolysis reduction zone 14 in the middle of the furnace, mixing with the high-temperature coke and reacting with the SO2 and COS gas streams, undergoing thorough pyrolysis and gasification.
[0082] ③ When the mixed carbon-based material moves down to the middle and lower part of the reactor, the reactor temperature can be appropriately increased by the auxiliary heating component 16 to ensure that the remaining carbon-based material reacts fully with SO2 at a higher temperature; the high-temperature ash produced after the reaction is cooled down by contacting the low-temperature airflow in the cooling recovery zone 15, and is discharged from the reactor through the bottom slag outlet 151 and enters the water-sealed slag tank 152.
[0083] ④ The SO2 gas to be reduced enters from the bottom gas inlet 11 of the reactor. It is rapidly heated at the tail end of the furnace by direct contact with the high-temperature slag and rises to the high-temperature pyrolysis reduction zone 14. At a higher temperature, it undergoes a reduction reaction with the carbon-based materials and the CO produced by their gasification. The SO2 that is not fully reduced continues to flow upward and continues to react with the carbon materials in the middle and upper parts of the furnace, gradually transforming into COS.
[0084] ⑤ To promote the rapid reduction of SO2 and the gasification of carbon-based materials, the gas flow output from the gas outlet 12 at the top of the reactor is partially refluxed after passing through the dust removal and cooling unit 5. The refluxed gas enters from the reflux gas inlet 17 of the reactor through the reflux fan 9. COS is used to promote the low-temperature reduction of SO2 and the gasification of carbon materials, thereby significantly increasing the production load of the reactor.
[0085] ⑥ The gas output from the gas outlet 12 at the top of the reactor mainly consists of COS, CO and CO2. After dust removal and partial recirculation, the remaining gas flow passes through the catalytic hydrolysis unit 6 and reacts with an appropriate amount of SO2. After reacting through the Claus reaction unit 7, it is finally converted into high-purity sulfur gas. Then, the liquid or solid sulfur product is recovered through the cooling unit 8.
[0086] In this embodiment, the low-volatile carbon-based material is coke, activated carbon, and high-quality semi-coke with low volatile content, which are less likely to produce byproducts such as tar during high-temperature reaction. The carbon-based material is granular, with an equivalent particle diameter in the range of 5-50 mm, and its usage is 20%-50% of that of the high-volatile material.
[0087] In this embodiment, the high-volatile carbon-based material is coal, biomass, waste rubber, and low-quality semi-coke, which easily produce byproducts such as tar during low-temperature pyrolysis. The material is granular, with an equivalent particle diameter in the range of 5-50 mm.
[0088] In this embodiment, the SO2 gas is high-concentration SO2 industrial flue gas, enriched and concentrated SO2 gas, with a concentration of not less than 15%, an oxygen content of not more than 10%, and an SO2 / O2 concentration ratio greater than 5.
[0089] In this embodiment, the area between the high-temperature pyrolysis reduction zone 14 and the storage zone 13 is a pyrolysis reduction zone for high-volatile carbon-based materials and a mixing zone for low-volatile carbon-based materials and high-volatile carbon-based materials. Through the electric heating or heat storage effect of the auxiliary heating component 16, the temperature of this zone is maintained at 900-1100℃ to ensure sufficient reaction between SO2 and residual carbon in the slag.
[0090] In this embodiment, the high-volatile carbon-based material enters the high-temperature zone in the middle of the furnace directly through the central feed pipe. During its descent in the inner tube, it is gradually preheated and partially gasified. Then, it directly enters the high-temperature gasification zone and mixes with the high-temperature coke. Together, they react with the SO2 and COS gas flow and are fully pyrolyzed and gasified, thus avoiding the generation of tar.
[0091] In this embodiment, the reaction temperature in the storage zone 13 at the top of the reactor is 600–900°C. Its heat mainly comes from the exothermic reaction of SO2 reduction and the exothermic carbon oxidation generated by a small amount of oxygen in the gas stream. When the exothermic reaction is insufficient to maintain the required temperature, the auxiliary heating component 16 is activated to supplement energy.
[0092] In this embodiment, the reactor diameter is 1000–4000 mm, and the height is 3–6 times its diameter. The reactor is lined with heat-insulating material and supplemented with external heat-insulating material. The apparent upward flow velocity of gases such as SO2 and reflux gas in the carbon layer is 0.05–0.25 m / s, and the total residence time of the carbon-based material in the reactor is 0.5–3.5 h.
[0093] In this embodiment, the output gas flow is partially recirculated, with the recirculation rate accounting for 10-30% of the gas outflow from the reactor. The COs and CO in the gas flow are used to promote the low-temperature reduction of SO2 and the gasification of carbon materials.
[0094] Application example:
[0095] This embodiment provides an SO2 reduction furnace and a sulfur recovery system including the SO2 reduction furnace, used to recover sulfur and suppress the generation of biomass tar by utilizing the reflux of coal coke and COS. The specific steps are as follows:
[0096] The SO2 reduction process is carried out using a fixed-bed reactor with a built-in tubular furnace (i.e., reduction furnace body 1). The reduction furnace body 1 has a diameter of 1m and a height of 3m, and is lined with glass wool for insulation to ensure efficient high-temperature reaction. An electric heating element (i.e., auxiliary heating component 16) is installed in the middle of the furnace to control the reaction temperature. A carbon-based material feeding unit is located at the top of the reduction furnace body 1, comprising an inner cylinder (second feeding channel 3) and an outer cylinder (first feeding channel 2). The inner cylinder is controlled by a two-stage rotary valve 4 to feed high-volatility carbon-based material, corn stalks, while the outer cylinder feeds low-volatility coal-based coke, ensuring that both carbon-based materials can fully contact the SO2 gas and react within the furnace.
[0097] The furnace temperature was heated to 1100℃. After the temperature stabilized, corn stalks and coke were added to the reactor through the inner and outer cylinders, respectively. The corn stalk addition rate was 2 kg / h, and the coke addition rate was 0.25 kg / h. The residence time of the carbon-based materials was approximately 1 minute. SO2 gas was added through a side inlet, with an SO2 content of 50% and the remainder being N2. The gas inlet flow rate for this inlet was 10 m³ / h. 3 / h.
[0098] Biomass (i.e., corn stalks) undergoes rapid pyrolysis upon entering the reactor, producing pyrolysis gas containing CO2, CH4, CO, H2, and some short-chain hydrocarbons. This pyrolysis gas first reacts with SO2 gas, reducing some of the SO2 to elemental sulfur. The biomass coke produced from pyrolysis, along with coal coke, reacts further with sulfur and the remaining SO2, converting SO2 and sulfur into COS. Through this process, SO2 is completely converted to COS, with a small amount of remaining coke discharged through the reactor's ash outlet at a rate of approximately 0.05 kg / h. The discharged remaining coke is mixed with the coal coke at the feed inlet and then reintroduced into the reactor to participate in the SO2 reduction reaction.
[0099] Due to the effects of COS and coal coke, the production of biomass tar is suppressed, decreasing from 0.1 g / g biomass without the addition of COS and coal coke to 0.03 g / g biomass. A very small amount of tar is intercepted by the filter components of the dust removal and cooling unit 5. A portion of the COS at the outlet is returned to the reactor inlet via the reflux system (i.e., reflux fan 9), where it pre-reduces SO2 to elemental sulfur, reducing the difficulty of SO2 reduction. At this point, the temperature inside the reactor is lowered to 1000℃ within 30 minutes, and SO2 is still completely converted. Furthermore, COS promotes the gasification process of CO2 in the pyrolysis gas with carbon-based materials, converting organic gases into H2 and CO, further reducing the tar content to 0.01 g / g biomass. COS is ultimately converted to H2S in the catalytic hydrolysis unit 6, and subsequently recovered as elemental sulfur with a purity >99% after passing through the Claus reaction unit 7 and the cooling unit 8.
