Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of purification technology, specifically relating to an enhanced device for removing arsenic from refined phosphoric acid. Background Technology
[0002] Food-grade phosphoric acid has a wide range of applications in edible gelatin, medical capsules, monosodium glutamate (MSG), toothpaste, beverages, brewing, and many other fields, with high demand. Food-grade phosphoric acid is usually obtained by refining industrial phosphoric acid. However, industrial phosphoric acid production processes typically contain impurities such as arsenic and chlorine. To produce food-grade phosphoric acid, the arsenic content must be reduced to below 0.5 ppm. The basic principle of existing arsenic removal processes is to add sulfide ions to the system, causing them to react with trivalent arsenic to form arsenic trisulfide precipitate, which is then removed by filtration. However, sulfide ions are mostly derived from hydrogen sulfide, sodium sulfide, and phosphorus pentasulfide. To prevent the introduction of sodium ion impurities, sodium sulfide is no longer used in phosphoric acid refining. Hydrogen sulfide is an extremely hazardous gas and unsuitable for industrial applications. Therefore, phosphorus pentasulfide is currently the more ideal sulfide ion donor. The principle is based on the hydrolysis of phosphorus pentasulfide followed by its reaction with arsenic. However, phosphorus pentasulfide is a solid, and its hydrolysis rate in both cold and hot phosphoric acid is relatively slow. Moreover, a significant portion of the converted hydrogen sulfide gas directly escapes from the system into the tail gas under heating conditions, which wastes sulfur and increases the cost of tail gas treatment and safety control. Furthermore, the contact time between the hydrogen sulfide gas converted from its hydrolysis and phosphoric acid is relatively short, resulting in incomplete arsenic removal reaction and affecting the arsenic removal effect of phosphoric acid.
[0003] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The primary objective of this invention is to provide an enhanced purification phosphoric acid arsenic removal device. This device enhances the contact area between raw materials by using a multi-stage enhanced purification tower, thereby improving mass transfer efficiency and reaction efficiency. While accelerating the hydrolysis of raw materials, the enhanced unit converts the raw materials into microbubbles, which greatly extends the residence time between the raw materials, allowing the arsenic removal reaction to proceed fully.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0006] An enhanced purification and arsenic removal device for phosphoric acid includes a hydrolysis tank and a multi-stage enhanced purification tower connected in sequence. The multi-stage enhanced purification tower has multiple enhanced units vertically arranged inside. The top of the multi-stage enhanced purification tower has a gas outlet, the bottom of the multi-stage enhanced purification tower has a liquid feed inlet and a gas inlet, and the multi-stage enhanced purification tower also has a circulating feed inlet. The bottom of the multi-stage enhanced purification tower has a phosphorus pentasulfide feed inlet and a water inlet. The bottom of the hydrolysis tank has enhanced units arranged inside the tank, and the top of the hydrolysis tank has a hydrogen sulfide gas outlet connected to the gas inlet.
[0007] In this invention, a better arsenic removal effect of phosphoric acid is achieved by combining a hydrolysis tank and a multi-stage enhanced refining tower. Specifically, by using a hydrolysis tank to first hydrolyze the raw material phosphoric acid pentasulfide, a better arsenic removal effect is achieved. This is because among existing arsenic removal agents, only phosphoric acid pentasulfide is both effective and safe. However, phosphoric acid pentasulfide is extremely difficult to dissolve; it is insoluble or dissolves very slowly in both cold and hot phosphoric acid. Therefore, traditional arsenic removal methods that directly mix phosphoric acid pentasulfide with phosphoric acid suffer from extremely slow reaction rates, low efficiency, poor safety, and low hydrogen sulfide utilization. Therefore, in order to accelerate the arsenic removal rate of phosphoric acid, while ensuring high safety and achieving high hydrogen sulfide utilization, this invention first introduces the raw material phosphorus pentasulfide and water into a hydrolysis tank. The enhanced unit in the hydrolysis tank accelerates the effect of phosphorus pentasulfide, enabling it to quickly generate a large amount of hydrogen sulfide gas. Subsequently, the hydrogen sulfide gas flows out from the hydrogen sulfide outlet at the top of the hydrolysis tank and is introduced into the enhanced refining tower through the inlet for the arsenic removal reaction. In this way, the utilization rate of phosphorus pentasulfide can be greatly improved, and the arsenic removal effect can be significantly enhanced.
[0008] Preferably, as a further feasible option, the multi-stage enhanced refining tower is a two-stage enhanced refining tower, which includes a primary refining tower and a secondary refining tower.
[0009] Preferably, as a further feasible option, the primary refining tower is provided with two intensifier units, wherein the two intensifier units are a first intensifier unit and a second intensifier unit, the first intensifier unit is located at the bottom of the primary refining tower, and the second intensifier unit is located at the top of the primary refining tower; the circulating feed inlet is located above the second intensifier unit; the liquid phase feed inlet and the air inlet are connected to the first intensifier unit; a sieve plate is provided above the first intensifier unit, and a spray layer is provided above the second intensifier unit.
[0010] Preferably, as a further feasible option, a third intensifier unit is provided at the top of the secondary refining tower, and a feed inlet is provided above the third intensifier unit, which is connected to the gas outlet; a first circulation feed inlet and a second circulation feed inlet are also provided on the middle sections of both sides of the secondary refining tower, and a discharge outlet is also provided at the bottom of the secondary refining tower.
[0011] This invention primarily employs a two-stage enhanced refining tower, comprising a primary refining tower and a secondary refining tower. Two intensifying units are installed within the primary refining tower, designated as the first intensifying unit and the second intensifying unit. The first intensifying unit is located at the bottom of the primary refining tower, while the second intensifying unit is located at the top. Phosphorus pentasulfide and phosphoric acid are introduced into the primary refining tower through the liquid and solid inlets located at the bottom. Upon introduction into the refining tower, phosphorus pentasulfide undergoes vigorous hydrolysis upon contact with water, generating a large amount of hydrogen sulfide gas. The hydrogen sulfide gas and phosphoric acid... The hydrogen sulfide gas is introduced into the first intensifier unit. After being processed by the first intensifier unit, the hydrogen sulfide gas is broken into microbubbles, which can be evenly dispersed in the phosphoric acid liquid. By reducing the size of the hydrogen sulfide gas, the contact area and reaction time between hydrogen sulfide and phosphoric acid are increased, making the arsenic removal reaction more complete. In addition, this invention also sets a sieve plate above the first intensifier unit. Since the sieve plate has evenly distributed funnel-shaped guide ports with guiding function, it ensures that the hydrogen sulfide broken into microbubbles can be dispersed to both sides, avoiding the irregular dispersion of hydrogen sulfide due to excessive accumulation of microbubbles in the center of the reactor, which would affect the arsenic removal effect of phosphoric acid.
[0012] After passing through the primary refining tower, the reaction liquid gradually rises. It then passes through a second intensifying unit located at the top of the primary refining tower to further enhance the arsenic removal efficiency of hydrogen sulfide from phosphoric acid. Simultaneously, the first circulating pump extracts the reaction liquid from the tower and re-enters it through the circulating feed inlet. There, it is sprayed through a spray layer above the second intensifying unit, achieving initial breakup of the reaction liquid. This allows the reaction liquid circulating from the top to initially form a stable gas-liquid mixture. As the reaction liquid descends through the primary refining tower, the residence time of hydrogen sulfide gas in the phosphoric acid is increased. Consequently, when the reaction liquid recirculates back into the primary refining tower, the hydrogen sulfide gas, after being processed by the second intensifying unit, is more evenly dispersed in the phosphoric acid, further improving the arsenic removal effect of the phosphoric acid.
[0013] Subsequently, the unreacted hydrogen sulfide gas flows out from the outlet at the top of the primary refining tower, and then enters the secondary refining tower through the feed inlet at the top of the secondary refining tower. It is then introduced into the third enhancement unit together with the reaction liquid introduced from the first circulation feed inlet. This process breaks the unreacted hydrogen sulfide gas into microbubbles, which mix with the introduced reaction liquid, increasing the residence time of hydrogen sulfide in phosphoric acid and increasing the contact area between the two, thereby improving the arsenic removal effect of phosphoric acid.
[0014] Therefore, this invention further increases the contact area and contact time between raw materials by setting up a multi-stage enhanced refining tower, combined with the setting of sieve plates and spray layers, which greatly improves the efficiency of the arsenic removal reaction. Compared with the prior art, the arsenic removal device used in this invention can effectively avoid the danger caused by the direct use of hydrogen sulfide, and has excellent arsenic removal effect, fast reaction rate and excellent arsenic removal effect.
[0015] Preferably, as a further feasible option, a first circulating pump is provided between the circulating feed inlet and the discharge outlet, and the first circulating pump is connected to the first circulating feed inlet.
[0016] Preferably, as a further feasible option, the discharge port at the bottom of the secondary refining tower is connected to the second circulating feed port, and a second circulating pump is also provided between the discharge port and the second circulating feed port.
[0017] Preferably, as a further feasible option, a separation tower is also included; the separation tower is connected to the secondary purification tower via the second circulating pump.
[0018] Preferably, as a further feasible option, the top of the separation tower is provided with an exhaust gas outlet, and the bottom of the separation tower is provided with a discharge port and a circulating pump inlet on both sides, respectively, and the circulating pump inlet is connected to the second circulating pump.
[0019] Preferably, as a further feasible option, the separation tower is provided with packing material, and the distance between the packing material and the top of the separation tower is 2-3 times the distance between the packing material and the bottom of the separation tower.

[0053] The unreacted hydrogen sulfide gas will flow out from the outlet at the top of the primary refining tower 1 and enter the secondary refining tower 7 through the feed inlet at the top of the secondary refining tower 7.

[0056] Experiment Example 1: Verifying the feasibility of the arsenic removal experiment from phosphorus pentasulfide.
[0057] The feed solution temperature was 75-80℃. The theoretical requirement of P2S5 was calculated based on the reaction equation. Then, experiments were conducted with feed amounts of 4, 8, 12, and 16 times the theoretical requirement, with a reaction time of 30 minutes. The arsenic removal effect of different P2S5 amounts was investigated, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0058] Table 1. Effect of different P2S5 feed amounts on arsenic removal efficiency
[0059]
[0060] The results analysis reveals that while 16 times the recommended dosage was close to the requirement, it did not completely meet the arsenic removal needs, while dosages of 4, 8, and 12 times the recommended dosage showed poor arsenic removal effects. Further analysis based on the experimental phenomena suggests two main reasons: firstly, the experiment used hot water for initial hydrolysis to accelerate P2S5 hydrolysis, resulting in a significant amount of H2S being released and wasted. Secondly, the excess of P2S5, meaning the phosphoric acid contained excessive sulfur, contributed to the problem. 2- The remaining As2S3 precipitates that have already formed combine to form polysulfides and redissolve. Therefore, the above experimental results show that phosphorus pentasulfide has a certain effect on the removal of arsenic from phosphoric acid, but due to its low hydrolysis efficiency and low H2S utilization rate, the removal efficiency of phosphorus pentasulfide is not high.
[0061] Table 2 Verification of Arsenic Removal Performance under Enhanced Unit Conditions
[0062] Through equipment debugging and improvements to the P2S5 feeding method, the equipment achieved continuous and stable operation. Based on this, continuous operation monitoring was conducted for several days, with samples taken every 30 minutes and 60 minutes. After removing the As2S3 precipitate via membrane separation, the arsenic content in the phosphoric acid was measured, as shown in Table 2 below.
[0063] Table 2 Results of continuous arsenic removal operation test of arsenic removal equipment
[0064]
[0065] Table 2 shows that the enhanced unit can achieve continuous and stable removal of arsenic from crude phosphoric acid. Furthermore, compared to arsenic removal equipment without the enhanced unit, the removal time with the enhanced unit is approximately 30-35 minutes, indicating that the enhanced unit can shorten the arsenic removal reaction time. This is because the enhanced unit effectively improves the hydrolysis efficiency of phosphorus pentasulfide and increases the gas-liquid contact reaction rate during the reaction between sulfur and arsenic, thereby improving reaction efficiency and shortening the reaction time.
[0066] The data from the second experiment in Table 2 also show that, compared to Experiment 1 which required approximately 16 times the amount of P2S5 to achieve a good arsenic removal effect, the device of this invention can significantly reduce the amount of P2S5 used. Therefore, based on the results of the pilot-scale arsenic removal experiment, in industrial production, the arsenic removal equipment designed according to this invention can effectively reduce the amount of P2S5 used, improve equipment safety, and reduce pollutant gas emissions; it can also shorten the reaction residence time and improve the processing efficiency of the equipment.
