Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waste gas purification and treatment, and in particular to a purification and treatment system for molten sulfur flue gas in sulfuric acid production. Background Technology
[0002] In the sulfuric acid production process, the sulfur melting step generates a large amount of flue gas containing particulate matter and sulfides. Direct emission of this flue gas would cause serious environmental pollution, and the sulfides in the flue gas would also corrode equipment, affecting production efficiency. Therefore, efficient purification of the sulfur melting flue gas is essential. Traditional flue gas treatment technologies typically employ single dust removal or desulfurization devices, which have the following problems: Low purification efficiency: Single devices cannot simultaneously remove particulate matter and sulfides, failing to meet increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements; High energy consumption: Inadequate system design leads to high operating resistance and energy consumption; Equipment corrosion: Sulfides in the flue gas easily condense at low temperatures, causing corrosion of pipes and equipment, affecting system lifespan; Resource waste: The heat and sulfides in the flue gas are not effectively recovered and utilized, resulting in resource waste.
[0003] Chinese patent discloses a flue gas treatment system (CN 222256665 U) including a boiler, which is connected in series with a dust removal device, a thickening tower, an absorption tower, and an exhaust chimney. A liquid storage tank is located at the bottom of the absorption tower, and the tank is connected to both the thickening tower and an ammonia tank. However, this flue gas treatment system has low purification efficiency: a single device cannot simultaneously remove particulate matter and sulfides, failing to meet increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements; high energy consumption: unreasonable system design leads to high operating resistance and energy consumption; easy equipment corrosion: sulfides in the flue gas easily condense at low temperatures, causing corrosion of pipes and equipment, affecting system lifespan; resource waste: the heat and sulfides in the flue gas are not effectively recovered and utilized, resulting in resource waste. Therefore, a purification system for molten sulfur flue gas in sulfuric acid production is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing flue gas treatment systems, such as low purification efficiency, high energy consumption, easy equipment corrosion, and resource waste. A single device is insufficient to simultaneously remove particulate matter and sulfides, failing to meet environmental protection requirements. Unreasonable system design leads to high operating resistance and energy consumption. Sulfides in flue gas are prone to condensation and corrosion of pipes and equipment. At the same time, the heat and sulfides in the flue gas are not effectively recovered and utilized, resulting in resource waste. Therefore, this invention proposes a purification and treatment system for molten sulfur flue gas in sulfuric acid production.

Furthermore, the matching design of the variable-diameter duct and the top outlet reduces the equipment footprint and lowers system complexity.

[0026] The working principle of this embodiment:
[0027] Flue gas collection: During the sulfur-to-acid production process, the sulfur melting process generates a large amount of high-temperature flue gas containing particulate matter and sulfides. This flue gas is first collected centrally through the waste gas collection pipe 5. The waste gas collection pipe 5 adopts a large-diameter heating sleeve design. When the flue gas temperature is below 145℃, the heating sleeve will automatically heat up to maintain the flue gas temperature at 145-150℃, preventing sulfides from condensing and clogging the pipe or corroding the equipment. One end of the top of the waste gas collection pipe 5 is connected to the filter gas collection hood 4, and the other end is connected to the sulfur melting tank gas collection hood 3, ensuring that the flue gas is collected completely without any omissions. The top of the sulfur melting tank gas collection hood 3 is also connected to the liquid sulfur storage tank gas collection pipe 2 and the square trough gas collection pipe 1, forming a highly efficient flue gas collection network.
[0028] Preliminary dust removal (reverse spray dust removal): The collected flue gas enters the reverse spray pipe 7 through the exhaust gas collection pipe 5. In the reverse spray pipe 7, the flue gas comes into full contact with the sprayed liquid (such as alkaline solution), and particulate matter and some sulfides in the flue gas are initially removed. The reverse spray pipe 7 is connected to the reverse spray dust removal tower 8, and the flue gas then enters the reverse spray dust removal tower 8 for further treatment. An alkaline solution dosing device 9 is connected to one side of the reverse spray dust removal tower 8 to continuously add alkaline solution into the tower, enhance the dust removal effect and neutralize acidic substances in the flue gas.
[0029] Secondary dust removal: The flue gas after the reverse jet dust removal process is discharged from the top outlet 6 of the reverse jet dust removal tower 8 and enters the secondary dust removal tower 13 through the variable diameter duct 11. In the secondary dust removal tower 13, the flue gas undergoes further removal of residual particulate matter through an optimized flow path. The secondary dust outlet 12 of the secondary dust removal tower 13 discharges the removed particulate matter, ensuring cleaner flue gas.
[0030] Heat recovery: The flue gas after dust removal enters the heat exchanger 15 from the secondary dust removal tower 13. In the heat exchanger 15, the high-temperature flue gas exchanges heat with the cooling medium, the flue gas temperature decreases, and the recovered heat can be used for heating other processes or systems, reducing overall energy consumption. Steam enters the heat exchanger 15 through the steam inlet pipe 21, and condensate is discharged through the steam outlet pipe 22 to prevent scaling on the plates.
[0031] Deep desulfurization: The cooled flue gas enters the dry desulfurization unit 16. In the dry desulfurization unit, the flue gas undergoes further desulfurization through adsorbents or chemical reactions to remove sulfides, ensuring that the emitted flue gas meets environmental protection standards;
[0032] Flue gas emission: The purified flue gas is conveyed to the exhaust stack 18 by the induced draft fan 17 and finally discharged into the atmosphere. The induced draft fan 17 provides power for the flue gas flow to ensure the normal operation of the system;
[0033] Resource recovery and recycling: In the reverse jet dust removal tower 8, the liquid supply pipe 20 transports the liquid in the liquid sulfur storage tank 19 into the tower for dust removal and neutralization of acidic substances, realizing the recycling of resources. The heat recovered by the heat exchanger 15 can be used in other processes, further reducing the system energy consumption.
