Abstract

Furthermore, the cost of back-end desulfurization is about 20% higher than front-end treatment, making blast furnace gas desulfurization technology a key focus in the metallurgical industry. Meanwhile, due to the widespread adoption of dry baghouse dust collectors in the past decade, components such as HCl and H2S in blast furnace gas react with condensate to form acidic liquids, causing severe corrosion of gas pipelines and equipment, potentially leading to safety accidents. Moreover, with the guidance and development trend of national carbon emission policies, the demand for deacidification, desulfurization, and decarbonization technologies for blast furnace gas will continue to increase, while current technologies for these processes still have significant shortcomings.

[0022] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, a blast furnace gas scrubbing and absorption tower is provided, including a tower body 1. Multiple partitions 2 are provided inside the tower body 1 to divide the inner cavity of the tower body 1 into a first, second, and third chamber 6 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. A gas tower 3 is provided on the partition 2. The first chamber 4, the second chamber 5, and the third chamber 6 are sequentially connected through the gas tower 3. The first chamber 4 is an alkaline scrubbing chamber, the second chamber 5 is a fresh water scrubbing chamber, and the third chamber 6 is an absorption chamber. A blast furnace gas discharge channel 7 connected to the third chamber 6 is provided at the top of the tower body 1.
[0023] The lower part of the first chamber 4 is provided with a washing wastewater outlet 8 and a blast furnace gas inlet 9. The washing wastewater outlet 8 is connected to a wastewater treatment system 20. The upper part of the first chamber 4 is provided with an alkaline spray nozzle 10 for spraying alkaline solution. The middle part of the first chamber 4 is provided with a structured packing layer A11, which is used to increase the contact area between blast furnace gas and alkaline solution.
[0024] The lower part of the second chamber 5 is provided with a semi-washing wastewater outlet 12, and the semi-washing wastewater outlet 12 is connected to an alkaline solution preparation system 13. The alkaline solution preparation system 13 is used to provide spray alkaline solution to the first chamber 4. The middle part of the second chamber 5 is provided with an industrial water nozzle 14 for spraying industrial water. The upper part of the second chamber 5 is provided with a structured packing layer B15, which is used to remove water and alkaline solution from the washed blast furnace gas.
[0025] The lower part of the third chamber 6 is provided with an absorbent outlet 16.

The absorbent nozzles 17 spray absorbent to absorb sulfides and carbon dioxide in the blast furnace gas. The absorbent nozzles 17 are located above the structured packing layers C18. The structured packing layers C18 in the middle of the third chamber 6 are arranged in two layers, one above the other. The structured packing layers C18 in the upper part of the third chamber 6 are one layer.
[0026] The working principle of this blast furnace gas scrubbing and absorption tower is as follows: Blast furnace gas is introduced into the first chamber 4 through the blast furnace gas inlet 9 and flows upward. Alkali spray nozzles 10 spray alkaline solution to wash the blast furnace gas, initially removing HCl and dust particles. The structured packing layer A11 increases the contact area between the blast furnace gas and the alkaline solution, making the alkaline scrubbing effect more thorough. The alkaline solution flows from top to bottom and finally accumulates at the bottom of the first chamber 4, then is discharged through the wastewater outlet 8 to the wastewater treatment system 20 for treatment. The blast furnace gas in the first chamber 4 continues to flow upward and is introduced into the second chamber 5 through the gas tower 3. Industrial water is sprayed from the nozzles, and the blast furnace gas is washed from bottom to top by the industrial water to remove residual HCl and particulate dust. At the same time, the alkaline solution entrained in the gas is diluted. The structured packing layer B15 removes water and alkaline solution from the washed blast furnace gas. Finally, the industrial water after washing collects from top to bottom at the bottom of the second chamber 5 and is discharged through the semi-washing wastewater outlet 12. Finally, it is transported through the pipeline to the alkaline solution preparation system 13 to provide spray alkaline solution for the first chamber 4. Then, the blast furnace gas in the second chamber 5 continues to flow upwards and is introduced into the third chamber 6 through the gas tower 3. The absorbent spray nozzle 17 sprays the absorbent liquid. The blast furnace gas flows upwards and comes into full contact with the absorbent liquid at the structured packing layer C18. The absorbent liquid absorbs the sulfides and carbon dioxide in the blast furnace gas. After being sprayed and absorbed by two layers of absorbent liquid, the blast furnace gas has sufficient absorption of sulfides and carbon dioxide. Then, it passes through the upper structured packing layer C18 to remove water and absorbent liquid from the blast furnace gas, while the absorbent liquid that has absorbed carbon dioxide and sulfides... The gas accumulates at the bottom of the third chamber 6 and is discharged to the outside through the absorbent outlet 16. Finally, the blast furnace gas is discharged upward through the blast furnace gas discharge channel 7, completing the efficient deacidification, desulfurization, and decarbonization process of the blast furnace gas. This meets the national emission requirements for blast furnace gas, has lower processing costs, better results, and can effectively prevent severe corrosion of gas pipelines and equipment, avoiding safety accidents. In addition, the blast furnace gas scrubbing absorption tower of this utility model adopts a vertical tower structure, integrating deacidification, desulfurization, and decarbonization functions, which greatly saves the floor space.
[0027] In this embodiment, the absorbent is a composite amine solution (MDEA+NHD), which improves the absorption of sulfides and carbon dioxide in blast furnace gas.
[0028] In this embodiment, the partitions 2 between the first chamber 4 and the second chamber 5, and between the second chamber 5 and the third chamber 6, are all arc-shaped partitions with downward openings, which facilitates the collection and discharge of liquid.
[0029] In this embodiment, the washing wastewater outlet 8 of the first chamber 4 is funnel-shaped, which facilitates the collection and discharge of alkaline solution.
[0030] In this embodiment, a structured packing layer D19 is provided in the blast furnace gas emission channel 7, which improves the removal effect of water and absorbent in the blast furnace gas.
[0031] In this embodiment, the structured packing layer C18 includes wire mesh, which is economical and has a better effect on removing water and absorbent from blast furnace gas.
