Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of compound fertilizer technology, and specifically relates to a washing system for wet phosphoric acid tail gas. Background Technology

[0002] Phosphoric acid, or orthophosphoric acid, with the chemical formula H3PO4 and a molecular weight of 97.994, is a common inorganic acid and a moderately strong acid. Phosphoric acid is mainly used in the pharmaceutical, food, and fertilizer industries, including as a rust inhibitor, food additive, electrolyte, flux, dispersant, industrial corrosive agent, raw material and component for fertilizers, and household cleaning products. It can also be used as a chemical reagent.

[0003] Phosphoric acid can be prepared using either a wet or dry process. Wet-process phosphoric acid is obtained by reacting phosphate rock slurry with concentrated sulfuric acid. Filtration yields phosphoric acid, phosphogypsum, and phosphogypsum reclaimed water. The phosphogypsum reclaimed water needs to be recycled to achieve water balance. During the wet-process phosphoric acid production, sulfuric acid decomposes phosphate rock in the reaction tank, generating a large amount of tail gas. The main components of this tail gas are water vapor, fluorine-containing gases, SO2, and CO2. The usual treatment method is washing with water, and the gas is then discharged through a chimney after meeting emission standards.

[0004] In the existing technology, a horizontal scrubbing spray device can be used to scrub the phosphoric acid tail gas. Only one scrubber is needed. Process water is used as makeup water, and the wastewater is discharged to the phosphogypsum stockpile or wastewater treatment system.

[0005] For example, patent application number CN201520391732.8 discloses a phosphoric acid tail gas treatment system, including a horizontal scrubbing spray device, an instrument monitoring system, a tail gas fan, a chimney, and pipes. An electrostatic precipitator is installed between the horizontal scrubbing spray device and the tail gas fan. Temperature, pressure, and flow monitoring devices are installed at the inlet of the pipe of the electrostatic precipitator. The tail end of the outlet pipe of the electrostatic precipitator is connected to the tail gas fan, and the tail gas fan is connected to the chimney.

[0006] Current technology uses process water as makeup water, and the fluoride (F) content in the exhaust gas meets the requirements. However, to achieve water balance, phosphogypsum recycled water needs to be used as makeup water, which will lead to the F content in the exhaust gas exceeding the standard (greater than 1*10). -4 The national standard is less than 9*10 -6 Furthermore, the exhaust gas contains fluorine and silicon, some of which exists in the form of silica gel. This not only clogs the horizontal scrubbing spray device but also adheres to the fan, affecting the dynamic balance (leading to excessive pressure within the system and subsequent gas overflow). Additionally, while silicon and fluorine are recyclable, direct treatment as wastewater would be wasteful; sending them to the phosphogypsum return water would result in the accumulation of fluorine, affecting the usability of the phosphogypsum return water. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a wet-process phosphoric acid tail gas scrubbing system. It incorporates a Venturi scrubber and a scrubbing tower, uses process water for makeup water, and sends the scrubbing liquid to a dissolving tank for fluorine and silicon recovery, reducing the fluorine content in the tail gas and preventing clogging of the horizontal scrubbing spray device. The horizontal scrubbing spray device uses phosphogypsum return water for makeup water, thus consuming the phosphogypsum return water. The treated tail gas meets emission standards. The technical solution is as follows:

The N layers of packing material 34 are arranged side-by-side and vertically, and the N spraying structures 35 are arranged side-by-side and alternate with the N layers of packing material 34. A spray structure 35 is provided on the front side of the layer packing 34. The spray structure 35 at the rear end serves as the water inlet of the horizontal washing spray device 3 and is connected to the phosphogypsum return water storage tank through a pipeline. The remaining N-1 spray structures 35 are connected to the liquid seal tank 32 through a pipeline with a second circulation pump 33. The bottom of the liquid seal tank 32 serves as the drain outlet of the horizontal washing spray device 3 and is connected to the wastewater treatment system through a pipeline. N is an integer from 3 to 6. The spray structure 35 includes multiple third nozzles arranged side by side, and the third nozzles spray backward.

[0012] Preferably, in this embodiment of the present invention, the remaining N-1 spray structures 35 are connected to the liquid seal tank 32 through N spray pipes 36, and each spray pipe 36 is equipped with a second circulation pump 33.

[0013] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the liquid sealing tank 32 is located directly below the box body 31.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this utility model embodiment are as follows: This utility model embodiment provides a washing system for wet-process phosphoric acid tail gas, which adds a Venturi scrubber and a scrubbing tower (which is less prone to clogging compared to a horizontal scrubbing spray device). Process water is used for replenishment, and the washing liquid is sent to a dissolving tank (which meets the water demand of the dissolving tank; excess washing liquid can be sent to a wastewater treatment system). Fluorine and silicon can be recovered, reducing the fluorine content in the tail gas and preventing clogging of the horizontal scrubbing spray device. The horizontal scrubbing spray device uses phosphogypsum recycled water for replenishment. Because the tail gas is pre-treated, the packing and spray structure are less prone to clogging, resulting in a longer cleaning and maintenance cycle. This achieves the consumption of phosphogypsum recycled water, and the treated tail gas meets emission standards (3*10). -6 -7*10 -6 ). Attached Figure Description
