Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical environmental protection, and in particular to an anti-clogging reactor for the resource recovery and preparation of ammonium sulfate from high-concentration ammonia-containing waste gas in the field of wastewater treatment. Background Technology
[0002] In the production processes of chemical plants and environmental protection facilities such as synthetic ammonia, gold beneficiation agent synthesis, coal gas purification, acidic water vapor extraction and phenol-ammonia recovery, ammonia-containing waste gas of varying concentrations is generated. The composition is complex, the concentration is high, and the differences are significant. The recovery of ammonia-containing waste gas into valuable and qualified products is technically challenging, and it is even more difficult to achieve emission standards for tail gas after treatment of high-concentration ammonia-containing waste gas. Due to the malodorous nature of ammonia, once the emission exceeds the standard, it will cause serious environmental accidents. However, ammonia has a high added value, so the treatment and resource recycling of ammonia-containing waste gas has significant economic and environmental value.
[0003] Resource recovery of ammonia-containing waste gas can yield liquid ammonia, ammonia water, and ammonium salts. However, due to absorption equilibrium limitations, direct absorption of ammonia-containing waste gas with water to generate ammonia water often results in low concentrations, making it difficult to utilize directly. Further concentration or purification processes such as distillation are typically required to recover high-concentration ammonia water or liquid ammonia. This process is complex, costly, and the ammonia concentration in the tail gas remains high after absorption, making it difficult to meet emission standards. Resource recovery of ammonia-containing waste gas into ammonium salts, such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium chloride, and ammonium carbonate, offers advantages such as shorter processes, complete absorption, and high product purity. The products can be directly used in agricultural fertilizers. However, because high-concentration ammonia-containing waste gas reacts with acid in a crystallization process, the reaction is rapid, leading to high supersaturation concentrations. This can easily cause scaling and blockage in the reactor, resulting in frequent reactor cleaning and severely impacting normal production.
[0004] Existing technologies for treating ammonia-containing waste gas mainly include physical absorption, chemical absorption, catalytic decomposition, catalytic aerobic decomposition, and biodegradation. However, due to the high concentration of ammonia-containing waste gas (≥1%v), the treatment processes span both chemical and environmental protection fields. For example, physical absorption and chemical absorption have long treatment processes, are highly corrosive, and the exhaust gas is difficult to meet standards. Catalytic decomposition and catalytic aerobic decomposition have high operating temperatures, high fuel gas consumption, and high treatment costs. Biodegradation is difficult to meet the treatment requirements for high-concentration ammonia-containing waste gas, and often requires a combination of multiple processes, resulting in problems such as long process chains, large investments, and high operating costs.
[0005] Chinese patent document CN218339413U discloses a system for preparing ammonium sulfate by ammonia stripping and absorption of ammonia-containing waste gas. The system includes an ammonia absorption tower with a gas phase outlet at the top, a liquid phase outlet at the bottom, a dilute sulfuric acid inlet on the top side, and an ammonia-containing waste gas inlet on the bottom side. The absorption tower is equipped with a spray device inside for spraying dilute sulfuric acid introduced through the dilute sulfuric acid inlet. A cooler is also included, with its outlet connected to the dilute sulfuric acid inlet of the absorption tower. The cooler's inlet is connected to the liquid phase outlet at the bottom of the absorption tower via a sulfuric acid circulation pump. This technical solution uses absorption towers of the same diameter, and all reactions occur within the absorption tower; therefore, it cannot prevent blockage inside the absorption tower after prolonged use.
[0006] Chinese patent document CN210057881U discloses an apparatus for preparing ammonium sulfate by ammonia stripping and absorption of ammonia-containing waste gas. Its structure includes a sulfuric acid diluent, a sulfuric acid storage tank, a sulfuric acid transfer pump, a first mixer, a second mixer, a bottom circulation pump, a top circulation pump, a bottom cooler, a top cooler, an ammonia absorption tower, and a pH meter. The sulfuric acid diluent dilutes concentrated sulfuric acid into dilute sulfuric acid, which is then transported to the first and second mixers to form a mixed solution, which is then transported to the ammonia absorption tower. The ammonia-containing waste gas enters the ammonia absorption tower and is absorbed by the acidic mixed solution. The absorbed liquid is extracted and circulated, and dilute sulfuric acid is continuously added to adjust the pH value of the mixed solution. Simultaneously, a portion of the absorbed liquid is concentrated through evaporation to form ammonium sulfate crystals. This technical solution uses absorption towers of the same diameter, and all reactions occur within the absorption tower, which cannot prevent blockage inside the absorption tower after prolonged use.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an anti-clogging reactor for the resource recovery and preparation of ammonium sulfate from high-concentration ammonia-containing waste gas. This reactor is highly integrated, small in size, and achieves separation of the absorption zone and crystallization zone within a single reactor, ensuring efficient absorption of high-concentration ammonia-containing waste gas. The absorption zone has a low solid content and is not prone to clogging. Utility Model Content

It has high integration and small size, and the absorption zone and crystallization zone are separated in a single reactor to ensure efficient absorption of high-concentration ammonia-containing waste gas. The absorption zone has low solid content, is not prone to clogging, and has strong anti-crystallization clogging performance.
[0009] To address the aforementioned technical issues, the present invention provides the following solution: an anti-clogging reactor for the resource recovery and preparation of ammonium sulfate from high-concentration ammonia-containing waste gas, comprising a reactor body. The reactor body, from top to bottom, includes an absorption zone and a crystallization zone, which are connected. The absorption zone is located above the liquid surface, and the crystallization zone is located below the liquid surface. The top of the absorption zone has a tail gas outlet, and the bottom of the crystallization zone has a crystal slurry outlet. The reactor body has an externally mounted Venturi reaction zone located below the absorption zone, which is connected to the reactor body. The Venturi reaction zone has an ammonia-containing waste gas inlet and a circulating absorbent inlet.
[0010] The reactor employing the above technical solution features a vertical structure with high integration and small volume. The upper part is the absorption zone, and the lower part is the crystallization zone. A Venturi reaction zone is then set up outside the reactor to form a primary absorption, reducing the intensity of the absorption reaction within the reactor and significantly improving anti-clogging capability. Separation of the crystallization and absorption zones is achieved within a single reactor. Overflow is used to control the solids content of the circulating absorbent, enhancing the absorption zone's resistance to crystallization clogging and greatly improving absorption efficiency. Supersaturation control measures are implemented in the crystallization zone, resulting in high-quality crystals with uniform particle size and large size, facilitating concentration and separation. Simultaneously, the reactor maximizes the use of reaction heat to minimize the reliance on external heat, resulting in energy conservation and environmental protection. The technology is stable and reliable, with low investment and operating / maintenance costs. The higher the ammonia concentration in the ammonia gas or ammonia-containing waste gas, the higher the recovery value.
[0011] Preferably, the outlet of the Venturi reaction zone is connected to the reactor body through an inclined tube, so that the ammonia-containing waste gas entering the Venturi reaction zone is absorbed and reacted with the sulfuric acid-containing circulating absorbent liquid, and then enters the reactor body through the inclined tube at the outlet of the Venturi reaction zone.
[0012] Preferably, the downward tilt angle of the inclined tube is set to 20~70°, so that after the ammonia-containing waste gas enters the reactor body, it collides and bounces with the liquid surface of the crystallization zone, and then rises to the top of the reactor body.
[0013] Preferably, the downward tilt angle of the inclined tube is set to 40~60°.
[0014] Preferably, the absorption zone is provided with at least one absorption spray layer, and the crystallization zone is provided with at least one pulse spray layer.

In the crystallization zone, supersaturation control measures are implemented to optimize the circulating absorbent volume and pulse flow rate, control the slurry flow rate, and minimize fluctuations in supersaturation concentration, thereby achieving high-quality crystals with uniform particle size, large particle size, and easy concentration and separation. The clear liquid with low solid content at the top of the crystallization zone overflows from the circulating absorbent outlet to the outside of the reactor as circulating absorbent, with a solid content ≤3%, preferably ≤1%. After being buffered by a circulating tank, pressurized by a reaction circulation pump, and supplemented with sulfuric acid, it is sent to circulating absorbent inlet one to enter the Venturi reaction zone for reaction, and to circulating absorbent inlet two to enter the multi-layer absorption spray layer for spray absorption; simultaneously, the pH of the circulating absorbent is controlled at 4~5.5. In addition, a portion of the circulating absorbent with low solid content is sent to the bottom of the crystallization zone, where it is pulsed to maintain the fluidity of the crystals, prevent large ammonium sulfate particles from precipitating and clogging the crystals, and remove small crystal nuclei from the crystal surface to form larger and more regular crystals.

Depending on the ammonia concentration in the ammonia-containing waste gas, 1 to 4 spray layers can be set, and 1 to 2 layers of demisters can be set at the top of the reactor. This design offers high flexibility and allows for precise control of absorption efficiency. The distance between the bottommost absorption spray layer and the liquid surface is not less than 3 times the spacing between the absorption spray layers, ensuring a sufficiently large clearance at the bottom of the absorption zone, allowing the ammonia-containing waste gas to be dispersed and evenly distributed, and providing sufficient reaction time with the falling absorption liquid.

The downward inclination angle of the inclined tube 501 is set to 20~70°, so that after the ammonia-containing waste gas enters the reactor body 4, it collides with the liquid surface of the crystallization zone 1 and bounces back, rising to the top of the reactor body 4.
[0032] The absorption zone 8 is provided with at least one absorption spray layer 12, and the crystallization zone 1 is provided with at least one pulse spray layer 18. The absorption spray layer 12 is provided for the ammonia gas to be absorbed by countercurrent contact with the circulating absorption liquid containing sulfuric acid; the pulse spray layer 18 is provided to use a portion of the circulating absorption liquid or mother liquor to perform pulse impact, flush the bottom area, maintain the fluidity of the crystals, remove small crystal nuclei on the crystal surface, and form larger and more regular crystals to further prevent precipitation and blockage.
[0033] The anti-clogging reactor for the resource recovery and preparation of ammonium sulfate from high-concentration ammonia-containing waste gas is equipped with a reaction circulation pump. The upper part of the absorption zone 8 is provided with a second circulation absorption liquid inlet 13, and the upper part of the crystallization zone 1 is provided with a circulation absorption liquid outlet 15.

The ratio of the flow rate of the pulse spray layer 18 to the flow rate of the crystal slurry discharge is 1~3.
[0035] The solid content of the circulating absorbent in absorption zone 8 is ≤3%, preferably ≤1%, which reduces the risk of blockage in the absorption zone and reduces wear on the pipe nozzles. In crystallization zone 1, supersaturation control measures are implemented to optimize the circulating absorbent volume and pulse flow rate, control the slurry flow rate, and minimize fluctuations in supersaturation concentration, thereby achieving high-quality crystals with uniform particle size, large particle size, and easy concentration and separation. The clear liquid with low solid content at the top of crystallization zone 1 overflows from the circulating absorbent outlet 15 to the outside of the reactor as circulating absorbent, with a solid content ≤3%, preferably ≤1%. After being buffered by a circulating tank, pressurized by a reaction circulation pump, and supplemented with sulfuric acid, it is sent to circulating absorbent inlet 7 to enter the Venturi reaction zone 5 for reaction, and to circulating absorbent inlet 13 to enter the multi-layer absorption spray layer 12 for spray absorption; simultaneously, the pH of the circulating absorbent is controlled at 4~5.5. In addition, a portion of the circulating absorbent with low solid content is sent to the bottom of crystallization zone 1, and the bottom area is pulsed to maintain the fluidity of the crystals, prevent large particles of ammonium sulfate from precipitating and clogging the crystals, and at the same time remove the small crystal nuclei on the crystal surface to form larger and more regular crystals.
[0036] A variable diameter section 3 is provided between the crystallization zone 1 and the absorption zone 8, and the diameter ratio of the crystallization zone 1 to the absorption zone 8 is 1.2~1.4; the end cap at the bottom of the crystallization zone 1 is an elliptical end cap or a constricted flat-bottom end cap, and the solid content of the slurry in the crystallization zone 1 is controlled at 5~50%; the elliptical end cap or constricted flat-bottom end cap is set to enhance the pulse impact effect.
[0037] The upper part of the absorption zone 8 is also provided with at least one layer of demister 9, which is located above the absorption spray layer 12. The absorption spray layer 12 has 1 to 4 layers, and the distance between the bottommost absorption spray layer 12 and the liquid surface is not less than 3 times the spacing of the absorption spray layers 12. A manhole 11 is also provided above the demister 9.
[0038] The crystallization zone is equipped with a thermometer port 2, two density meters (density meters 23 and 29 respectively), three sight glasses (sight glasses 16, 27 and 28 respectively), a pH meter port 17, a spare port 20 and a second manhole 24. The absorption zone 8 is equipped with a remote liquid level gauge port (upper port) 26, the crystallization zone 1 is equipped with a remote liquid level gauge port (lower port) 14, and the absorption zone is also equipped with a third manhole 25.
[0039] Example 2: The difference from Example 1 is that the downward tilt angle of the inclined tube 501 in this example is set to 40~60°; the solid content of the slurry in the crystallization zone 1 is controlled at 10~25%; the ratio of the flow rate of the pulse spray layer to the flow rate of the crystal slurry discharge is 2~3; and the distance between the bottommost absorption spray layer and the liquid surface is greater than or equal to 5m.
[0040] In addition, depending on the source of the ammonia-containing waste gas and the different impurity components, a pretreatment device can be set up. The pretreatment device includes, but is not limited to, dust removal, pre-washing, heating or cooling, in order to meet the normal operation of the reactor and the quality of the ammonium sulfate product.
[0041] The specific steps for the recovery and preparation of ammonium sulfate from high-concentration ammonia-containing waste gas using an anti-clogging reactor are as follows:
[0042] Ammonia-containing waste gas enters the Venturi reaction zone 5 through ammonia-containing waste gas inlet 6, where it is absorbed and reacted with the sulfuric acid-containing circulating absorbent sprayed in through circulating absorbent inlet 1. The gas then enters the reactor body 4 through the inclined pipe 501 at the outlet of the Venturi reaction zone 5. After colliding with the liquid surface in the crystallization zone 1 and rebounding, it rises to the top of the reactor body 4. During this ascent, it flows countercurrently and reacts with the sulfuric acid-containing circulating absorbent sprayed by the multi-layer absorption spray layer 12 in the absorption zone 8, generating ammonium sulfate. After absorption, the tail gas is demisted by the demister 9 and discharged through the tail gas outlet 10. The clear liquid with low solid content in the upper part of the crystallization zone 1 overflows from the circulating absorbent outlet 15 to the outside of the reactor as circulating absorbent. After being buffered by a circulating tank, pressurized by a reaction circulation pump, and supplemented with sulfuric acid, it is sent to the circulating absorbent inlet 1 to enter the Venturi reaction zone for reaction, and to the circulating absorbent inlet 2 13 to enter the multi-layer absorption spray layer 12 for spray absorption. Simultaneously, a portion of the circulating absorbent is drawn from the circulation tank, pressurized by a pulse pump, and sent to the pulse liquid inlet 19 into the pulse spray layer 18. The pulse nozzles increase the flow rate of the circulating liquid, creating an impact flow that impacts larger ammonium sulfate particles, preventing them from settling and clogging at the bottom of the crystallization zone 1. The diameter ratio of the crystallization zone 1 to the absorption zone 8 is 1.2~1.4, with a variable diameter section between them. The bottom end cap 22 of the crystallization zone 1 is either an elliptical end cap or a constricted flat-bottom end cap to enhance the pulse impact effect. The ammonium sulfate slurry containing larger particles at the bottom of the crystallization zone 1 is discharged from the reactor through the slurry outlet.

[0044] 1) The reactor features high integration and small size.

Overflow is used to control the solids content of the circulating absorbent, enhancing the absorption zone's resistance to crystallization clogging and greatly improving absorption efficiency. Supersaturation control measures in the crystallization zone result in high-quality crystals with uniform particle size and large particle size, facilitating concentration and separation.
[0045] 2) The reactor adopts a spray reactor, in which ammonia gas is absorbed by countercurrent contact with the circulating absorbent containing sulfuric acid. The number of spray layers in the absorption zone is designed according to the ammonia concentration in the inlet gas, and can be 1 to 4 layers.
