[0059] Please see Figures 1 to 5This embodiment provides a cascade dry gas dust removal, dechlorination, and desulfurization device, including a dust removal component 1, a dechlorination component 2, a hydrolysis component 3, and a desulfurization component 4. The dust removal component 1 includes a dust removal tower 11, a first feed pipe 12, and a first discharge pipe 13. The dust removal tower 11 is connected to the first feed pipe 12 and the first discharge pipe 13, respectively. The dust removal tower 11 is equipped with dust removal packing material, which is configured as metal fiber sintered felt, nano-ceramic fiber membrane, and oleophobic and hydrophobic coating. The dechlorination component 2 includes a dechlorination tower 21, a second feed pipe 22, and a second discharge pipe 23, respectively. The dechlorination tower 21 is connected to the second feed pipe 22 and the second discharge pipe 23, respectively. The second feed pipe 22 is connected to the first discharge pipe 12 and the first discharge pipe 13, respectively. The dechlorination tower 21 is equipped with dechlorination packing; the hydrolysis assembly 3 includes a heater 35, a hydrolysis tower 31, a third feed pipe 32, and a third discharge pipe 33. The input end of the heater 35 is connected to the second discharge pipe 23, and the output end of the heater 35 is connected to the third feed pipe 32. The hydrolysis tower 31 is connected to the third feed pipe 32 and the third discharge pipe 33 respectively. The hydrolysis tower 31 is equipped with hydrolysis packing; the desulfurization assembly 4 includes a desulfurization tower 41, a fourth feed pipe 42, and a fourth discharge pipe 43. The desulfurization tower 41 is connected to the fourth feed pipe 42 and the fourth discharge pipe 43 respectively. The third discharge pipe 33 is connected to the fourth feed pipe 42. The desulfurization tower 41 is equipped with desulfurization packing.
[0060] Dust collector tower 11 refers to a cylindrical pressure vessel, preferably made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, used to house dust collector packing and complete the primary purification of coal gas. The metal fiber sintered felt in the dust collector packing is a three-dimensional network structure formed by high-temperature sintering of micron-sized metal fibers, used to intercept particles larger than 5μm; the nano-ceramic fiber membrane is a filter layer made of alumina nanofibers, used to capture submicron-sized dust; the oleophobic and hydrophobic coating is a fluoropolymer surface treatment layer used to prevent oil mist adhesion. The first feed pipe 12 and the first discharge pipe 13 are both flanged pipes, used for coal gas input and purified gas output, respectively.
[0061] The dechlorination tower 21 is a tower with a structure similar to the dust removal tower 11. The dechlorination packing material inside is preferably zinc oxide-copper oxide composite particles, which selectively remove chlorine-containing compounds such as HCl through chemical adsorption. The second feed pipe 22 and the first discharge pipe 13 are connected by socket welding to ensure airtightness. The heater 35 in the hydrolysis assembly 3 is used to heat the coal gas to the optimal temperature range for the hydrolysis reaction. The hydrolysis packing material inside the hydrolysis tower 31 is a titanium-based catalyst honeycomb structure, whose regular pore structure is conducive to airflow distribution and organic sulfur conversion. The desulfurization tower 41 has a collection hopper at the bottom, and its internal desulfurization packing material is iron oxide-zinc oxide composite particles, which fix H2S through chemical adsorption. The connecting pipes between the towers (the third feed pipe 32, the fourth feed pipe 42, etc.) are all designed with insulation to prevent temperature loss. Optionally, the first discharge pipe 13, the second discharge pipe 23, the third discharge pipe 33, and the fourth discharge pipe 43 are all equipped with pneumatic regulating valves to achieve precise flow control.
[0062] During operation, the coal gas enters the dust removal tower 11, where it undergoes tiered particulate filtration through a metal fiber sintered felt and a nano-ceramic fiber membrane. An oleophobic and hydrophobic coating ensures long-term, non-clogging operation. The pre-purified coal gas then enters the dechlorination tower 21 via the first discharge pipe 13. The active components in the dechlorination packing undergo an irreversible chemical reaction with chloride ions, fundamentally eliminating the risk of equipment corrosion. After dechlorination, the coal gas is heated by the heater 35 and then enters the hydrolysis tower 31, where organic sulfur compounds such as COS are converted to H2S under the action of a catalyst. Finally, the coal gas enters the desulfurization tower 41, where the desulfurization packing completely removes sulfides through chemical adsorption. The series design of this embodiment allows each purification unit to complement its function. The deep filtration of the dust removal packing creates clean conditions for subsequent processes, the high selectivity of the dechlorination packing protects the catalyst activity, and temperature-controlled hydrolysis ensures complete conversion of organic sulfur compounds, ultimately achieving efficient purification of all components of the coal gas. Compared to traditional processes, this device has significant advantages such as high purification efficiency, long operating cycle, and easy maintenance, making it particularly suitable for the deep treatment of complex gases such as blast furnace gas.
[0063] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the dust removal tower 11 is provided with a first dust removal layer 16, a second dust removal layer 17 and a third dust removal layer 18 in sequence along the flow direction from the first feed pipe 12 to the first discharge pipe 13; the first dust removal layer 16 is configured as a metal fiber sintered felt; the second dust removal layer 17 is configured as a nano-ceramic fiber membrane; and the third dust removal layer 18 is configured as an oleophobic and hydrophobic coating.
[0064] The first dust removal layer 16 refers to the metal fiber sintered felt filter layer located at the airflow inlet. It adopts a multi-layered 316L stainless steel fiber felt structure, with a fiber diameter preferably of 8-12 μm and a porosity controlled at 60-70%. It is mainly used to intercept coarse dust particles larger than 10 μm in the gas. The second dust removal layer 17 refers to the nano-ceramic fiber membrane filter layer located in the middle section. This membrane layer is made of alumina nanofibers through a special process, with an average pore size of 0.5-1 μm, which can effectively capture fine particles of 1-10 μm. The third dust removal layer 18 refers to the oleophobic and hydrophobic coating functional layer near the gas outlet. This coating is formed on the surface of the metal substrate using plasma spraying technology to form a fluoropolymer film with a contact angle greater than 150°, which can effectively block the adhesion of oil mist and water vapor. The three-layer filtration structure is arranged in a gradient along the airflow direction. The first dust removal layer 16, with its sintered metal fiber felt, removes most of the dust load. The second dust removal layer 17, with its nano-ceramic fiber membrane, performs fine filtration. The third dust removal layer 18, with its oleophobic and hydrophobic coating, ensures that the filtration system will not clog during long-term operation. This guarantees dust removal efficiency and significantly extends service life.
[0065] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the dust removal assembly 1 further includes a dust concentration sensor, a first pressure gauge 14 and a second pressure gauge 15. The dust concentration sensor is disposed in the first discharge pipe 13; the first pressure gauge 14 is disposed in the first feed pipe 12; and the second pressure gauge 15 is disposed in the first discharge pipe 13.
[0066] In this embodiment, the dust concentration sensor can be an online monitoring device based on the laser scattering principle, installed on the straight section of the first discharge pipe 13, for real-time detection of the residual particulate matter content in the gas after dust removal treatment. Preferably, its measurement range is 0-50 mg / m³. 3 The detection accuracy can reach ±1mg / m 3 The first pressure gauge 14 refers to the corrosion-resistant diaphragm pressure gauge installed on the first feed pipe 12 at the inlet end of the dust collector 11. It is used to monitor the input pressure of the raw coal gas, and its range is configured according to the system working pressure, with a typical value of 0-1.6 MPa. The second pressure gauge 15 refers to the same type of pressure gauge installed on the first discharge pipe 13 at the outlet end of the dust collector 11. It is used in conjunction with the first pressure gauge 14 to calculate the pressure loss of the dust collection section. These three measuring instruments are connected to the control system through a 4-20mA signal line, forming a complete dust collection efficiency monitoring system. The dust concentration sensor directly reflects the dust collection effect, while the pressure difference data of the pressure gauges before and after the dust collection is used to determine the degree of blockage of the dust collection packing, providing a basis for maintenance. This achieves comprehensive monitoring of the operating status of the dust collection component 1, ensuring that the purification quality meets the standards and providing timely warnings of filter material failure.
[0067] Please see Figure 3In some embodiments, the dechlorination packing is configured as a reaction packing 24 and a protective packing 25; the reaction packing 24 is configured as γ-Al2O3 spheres loaded with CuO / ZnO; and the protective packing 25 is configured as alkali-impregnated activated carbon.
[0068] In this embodiment, the reaction packing 24 refers to γ-Al2O3 carrier spheres with a diameter of 3-5 mm. Its surface is loaded with 20-30 wt% CuO / ZnO composite active components via impregnation. The specially formulated metal oxides exhibit selective chemical adsorption of chlorine-containing compounds such as HCl, and can fix chlorine as metal chlorides at an operating temperature of 200-300℃. The protective packing 25 refers to an alkali-impregnated activated carbon layer stacked on top of the reaction packing 24. It uses coconut shell activated carbon with a particle size of 4-6 mm as a carrier and, after impregnation with K2CO3 solution, has an alkali loading of 30-40%. It is mainly used to adsorb acidic gases and some heavy metal impurities in the coal gas, preventing them from poisoning the downstream reaction packing 24. These two packings are layered in a 2:1 volume ratio. The protective packing 25 is located upstream of the gas flow for pretreatment of the coal gas, while the reaction packing 24 performs deep dechlorination downstream. This combined design extends the overall service life of the packing material and ensures dechlorination efficiency through staged purification. The protective packing material 25 can be replaced periodically, while the reaction packing material 24 maintains a longer catalytic activity cycle. Porous distribution plates are installed between the packing layers to ensure uniform airflow through each reaction zone, preventing channeling phenomena that could affect the purification effect.
[0069] In some embodiments, the inner side of the dechlorination tower 21 is coated with a nickel-based alloy C276. Nickel-based alloy C276 refers to a corrosion-resistant alloy containing molybdenum, chromium, and tungsten (UNS N10276), which forms a continuous protective layer on the inner surface of the tower body through a high-pressure thermal spraying process. The coating process includes three stages: surface sandblasting pretreatment, coating application, and high-temperature post-treatment. Sandblasting is used to obtain an activated surface with Sa3 cleanliness, while high-temperature post-treatment is used to reduce coating porosity and enhance bonding strength. The coating is preferably positioned to cover the entire gas-phase contact area of the dechlorination tower 21, including the cylinder section, the head transition zone, and the connection points of internal support components. In the packing filling area, the coating thickness needs to be adaptively increased to resist mechanical wear of the packing.
[0070] This embodiment utilizes a nickel-based alloy C276 coating to provide long-term protection for the dechlorination tower 21 in a chlorine-containing corrosive environment. When chlorine-containing gas flows through the tower, the molybdenum and chromium elements in the coating preferentially react with the corrosive medium to form a stable passivation film, blocking corrosion pathways in the base steel. Simultaneously, the dense structure of the coating prevents pitting corrosion caused by chloride ion penetration, and its high-temperature stability ensures continuous protection under fluctuating process temperatures. This maintains the overall pressure-bearing strength of the equipment and avoids the problem of easy aging of rubber or plastic linings.
[0071] In some embodiments, the heater 35 is configured as a brazed plate heat exchanger; the dechlorination assembly 2 also includes a heat pipe connected to the outside of the dechlorination tower 21, and the other end of the heat pipe is connected to the heater 35.
[0072] In this embodiment, the brazed plate heat exchanger uses a vacuum brazing process to integrally form stainless steel plates and copper-based brazing filler metal. Its corrugated plate structure creates staggered flow channels to enhance heat transfer. The heat transfer pipe is a seamless stainless steel pipe with an insulating outer wall. It is connected to the jacket cavity outside the dechlorination tower 21 via a flange connection, and its other end is welded to the heat medium outlet of the brazed plate heat exchanger, forming a closed-loop circulation circuit. The heat source for the heater 35 can be steam or thermal oil; saturated steam is preferred as the heating medium to utilize its latent heat of phase change and improve energy efficiency. The heat transfer pipe is arranged in a spiral coil structure on the dechlorination tower 21 side. This increases the contact area to ensure uniform temperature distribution within the tower. The pipe diameter must be selected to match the flow characteristics of the heat exchanger to avoid excessive flow resistance.
[0073] This embodiment achieves efficient thermal energy management of the dechlorination system through a brazed plate heat exchanger and heat pipes. The compact structure of the brazed plate heat exchanger reduces the floor space, and its high heat transfer coefficient ensures rapid response to process temperature regulation requirements, while the insulating design of the heat pipes effectively reduces heat loss during transport.
[0074] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the hydrolysis packing is configured as a titanium-based catalyst; the hydrolysis tower 31 is provided with a honeycomb ceramic structure 34, and the hydrolysis packing is disposed within the honeycomb ceramic structure 34.
[0075] Titanium-based catalysts refer to composite catalytic materials that use porous titanium as a support and load active components. Their surfaces are oxidized to form catalytically active TiO2 crystals. The honeycomb ceramic structure 34 is an integral porous support made of cordierite or mullite, with a hexagonal grid-like cross-section. The inner walls of individual pores are coated with a γ-Al2O3 transition layer to enhance catalyst adhesion. Hydrolysis filler is extruded into the interconnected pores of the honeycomb ceramic, with a packing density controlled at 60%-70% to balance gas flow and catalytic contact area. The active component of the titanium-based catalyst is preferably a tungstate composite, which effectively promotes the hydrolysis of organochlorides at 120-180℃. The axial length to tower diameter ratio of the honeycomb ceramic structure 34 is 1:1.2 to 1:1.5 to ensure sufficient gas diffusion.
[0076] This embodiment significantly improves the dechlorination efficiency and operational stability of the hydrolysis tower 31 through the combined design of a titanium-based catalyst and a honeycomb ceramic structure 34. When the gas stream containing organic chlorides flows through the honeycomb ceramic channels, the titanium-based catalyst provides a large number of active sites that promote the breaking of C-Cl bonds, while the regular flow channels of the honeycomb ceramic effectively reduce gas pressure loss. The high thermal stability of the ceramic matrix avoids the local hot spot problem that is prone to occur in traditional random packed beds, and its integral structure also prevents the catalyst particles from pulverizing and being lost during long-term operation. The mesoporous characteristics of the titanium-based catalyst surface increase the reaction contact interface, while the isothermal distribution characteristics of the honeycomb ceramic ensure the uniformity of the reaction temperature throughout the tower. This enables the hydrolysis tower 31 to achieve efficient conversion of organic chlorine to inorganic chlorine with lower energy consumption and creates favorable conditions for the deep purification of the subsequent dechlorination tower 21. The overall system exhibits stronger adaptability to fluctuations in gas composition.
[0077] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the desulfurization tower 41 includes a first desulfurization zone 411 and a second desulfurization zone 412, and the desulfurization packing includes a first desulfurization packing and a second desulfurization packing; the first desulfurization zone 411 is filled with the first desulfurization packing, and the second desulfurization zone 412 is filled with the second desulfurization packing; the input end of the first desulfurization zone 411 is connected to the fourth feed pipe 42, the output end of the first desulfurization zone 411 is connected to the input end of the second desulfurization zone 412, and the output end of the second desulfurization zone 412 is connected to the fourth discharge pipe 43.
[0078] The first desulfurization packing refers to a desulfurizing agent with iron oxide as the main active ingredient. Its particle diameter is 3-5 mm, possessing high sulfur capacity and mechanical strength, suitable for treating high-concentration hydrogen sulfide gas. The second desulfurization packing refers to a refined desulfurizing agent with zinc oxide as the main component. Its particle diameter is 1-2 mm, possessing a finer pore structure, specifically designed for deep removal of residual trace sulfides. The fourth feed pipe 42 is a 316L stainless steel pipe connecting to the output end of the hydrolysis tower 31, with a pipe diameter determined according to the design gas velocity (DN200-DN250). The fourth discharge pipe 43 is a 304 stainless steel pipe supplying purified gas to the downstream process, and is equipped with an interface for an online sulfur content analyzer. Optionally, a guide cone section is used between the first desulfurization zone 411 and the second desulfurization zone 412 to achieve uniform redistribution of airflow. The preferred inclination angle of the cone section is 60° to avoid ash accumulation.
[0079] This embodiment achieves efficient, stepwise removal of sulfides from coal gas through a staged desulfurization process. When sulfur-containing coal gas enters the first desulfurization zone 411 via the fourth feed pipe 42, the iron oxide packing preferentially reacts with high-concentration hydrogen sulfide to generate iron sulfide, completing the coarse desulfurization process. Subsequently, after adjusting the flow pattern in the guide section, the gas enters the second desulfurization zone 412, where zinc oxide packing removes residual organic sulfur and trace amounts of hydrogen sulfide through chemical adsorption. The dual-stage series structure fully utilizes the advantages of different desulfurization materials. The large-particle packing in the first desulfurization zone 411 ensures processing capacity and anti-clogging ability, while the small-particle packing in the second desulfurization zone 412 provides the final purification guarantee.
[0080] In some embodiments, the first desulfurization filler is configured as an iron oxide desulfurizer; the second desulfurization filler is configured as a nano-ZnO desulfurizer.
[0081] The first desulfurization packing material is an iron oxide desulfurizing agent, specifically using α-Fe₂O₃·H₂O as the main active component. Its particles are reddish-brown spherical, with a diameter of 3-5 mm and a bulk density of 0.8-1.0 g / cm³. 3 Specific surface area 60-80m² 2 / g, working sulfur capacity ≥30wt%. The second desulfurization filler is a nano-ZnO desulfurizer, which uses porous alumina as a carrier, with ZnO particles of 20-30nm on the surface, ZnO loading of 40-50wt%, particle diameter of 1-2mm, and bulk density of 1.2-1.4g / cm³. 3 Specific surface area 200-250m² 2 / g, breakthrough sulfur capacity ≥15wt%.
[0082] Iron oxide desulfurizer is suitable for high sulfur load conditions in the first desulfurization zone. It reacts with H2S at room temperature as follows:
[0083] Fe2O3·H2O+3H2S→2FeS+S+4H2O;
[0084] This reaction is exothermic; maintaining the optimal reaction kinetics by keeping the temperature in the first desulfurization zone between 30-50℃ is crucial. The nano-ZnO desulfurizing agent achieves deep desulfurization in the second desulfurization zone, and its reaction mechanism is as follows:
[0085] ZnO + H₂S → ZnS + H₂O;
[0086] The high specific surface area and quantum effect of nano-sized ZnO enable it to maintain excellent adsorption activity for ppm-level sulfides, and the reaction temperature should be controlled at 40-60℃.
[0087] In some embodiments, the output end of the second desulfurization zone 412 is further provided with a demister 44, the output end of which is connected to the fourth discharge pipe 43. The demister 44 is a gas-liquid separation device used to remove tiny droplets and solid particles entrained in the gas. Its structure can be a filter unit composed of multiple layers of metal wire mesh. The metal wire mesh is preferably made of 316L stainless steel to resist hydrogen sulfide corrosion. The surface of the wire mesh is hydrophobically treated to enhance the droplet capture capacity and prevent scaling and clogging.
[0088] This embodiment further purifies the gas before it is discharged by installing a demister 44 at the outlet of the second desulfurization zone 412. When the gas containing trace amounts of droplets and particulate matter passes through the demister 44, the wire mesh structure captures the suspended matter through inertial collision and interception. The dry and clean gas then enters the fourth discharge pipe 43 and is transported to the downstream process. This solves the problem of dust escape that may be generated by nano-level desulfurizing agents and also eliminates residual sulfide aerosols in the gas, ensuring that the cleanliness of the final output gas meets stringent process requirements. The demister 44 improves the terminal purification function of the desulfurization system, compensating for the limitations of chemical desulfurization in removing fine particulate matter through physical interception. The modular structure of the demister 44 facilitates maintenance and cleaning, and can be carried out simultaneously with the maintenance cycle of the desulfurization tower 41, without adding extra maintenance burden.

This not only solves the problems of catalyst poisoning and equipment corrosion in traditional processes, but also significantly improves the efficiency of hydrolysis reaction through heater 35, resulting in a significant improvement in operational stability and purification effect.
