Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of sulfuric acid production equipment, specifically relating to a purification device for reducing the arsenic content in dilute acid. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of producing sulfuric acid from smelting flue gas, the complex flue gas undergoes a typical sulfuric acid purification system, which involves cooling and dust removal via a "high-efficiency scrubber-gas cooling tower-packed tower". During the purification of smelting flue gas, a large amount of arsenic dissolves in the dilute acid as arsenic acid, resulting in extremely high costs for the waste acid treatment system. Patent publication number "CN220758666U", with the utility model title "A High-Efficiency Scrubber for Reducing Arsenic Content in Dilute Acid", specifically discloses a high-efficiency scrubber for reducing the arsenic content in dilute acid. This device provides a method of repeatedly washing the dilute acid with circulating liquid within the high-efficiency scrubber under a sulfur dioxide reducing atmosphere in the purification system, thereby reducing the arsenic content. While this method can reduce the arsenic content in dilute acid, because it utilizes the system's own sulfur dioxide for reduction, the sulfur dioxide concentration is only about 10%. It mainly improves the pipeline and circulation method, but it still does not solve the problems of high resistance in the first-stage high-efficiency scrubber, relatively small circulation volume and reaction time, limited arsenic removal effect of dilute acid, frequent tower cleaning, and a large workload for maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a purification device for reducing the arsenic content in dilute acid.

Each reaction tower is equipped with an air inlet pipe, which is connected to the regeneration separator of the ion liquid desulfurization system. The high-concentration sulfur dioxide generated by the regeneration separator of the ion liquid desulfurization system enters the spray pipes below the first-stage reaction tower, the second-stage reaction tower, and the third-stage reaction tower through the air inlet pipes and reacts with the dilute acid sprayed from the spray pipes. The desulfurized gas after the reaction passes through the degassing pipes in sequence through the reaction tower filtrate tank, the third-stage reaction tower, the second-stage reaction tower, and the first-stage reaction tower and is then directed to the main flue gas pipeline.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model effectively solves the problems of high arsenic content in dilute acid and high cost of waste acid treatment by increasing the circulation volume through an external reaction tower and using high-concentration sulfur dioxide gas for reduction. The average arsenic content in the bottom dilute acid of the first-stage high-efficiency scrubber can be reduced by about 3000 mg / L. The solid arsenic pressing and separation system reduces the workload of tower cleaning. The device is safe and environmentally friendly, has a low failure rate, can adapt to flue gas environments with high arsenic content, and reduces the workload of system maintenance.

The system is connected to a three-stage reaction tower 15, which is connected to a reaction tower filtrate tank 18 and a reaction tower filter press 17. The reaction tower filtrate tank 18 is connected to an emergency high-level water tank 1. The emergency high-level water tank 1 and the flue gas inlet 21 are connected to a primary high-efficiency scrubber 2 via a pipeline. The bottom of the reaction tower filtrate tank 18 is connected to a primary reaction tower 12 via a drain pipe 14. The top of the primary reaction tower 12 is connected to the main flue gas pipeline 20 via a pipeline. The reaction towers are connected in the middle via an overflow pipe 10 and at the top via a degassing pipe 9. Each reaction tower is equipped with... There is a spray pipe 19, which is connected to the bottom of each reaction tower via an external pipe. Each reaction tower is equipped with an air inlet pipe 8, which is connected to the regeneration separator of the ion liquid desulfurization system. The high-concentration sulfur dioxide generated by the regeneration separator of the ion liquid desulfurization system enters the spray pipes below the primary reaction tower 12, the secondary reaction tower 13, and the tertiary reaction tower 15 through the air inlet pipe 8, and reacts with the dilute acid sprayed from the spray pipe 19. The desulfurized gas after the reaction passes through the degassing pipe 9 sequentially through the reaction tower filtrate tank 18, the tertiary reaction tower 15, and the secondary reaction tower 13. The primary reaction tower 12 is connected to the main flue gas pipeline 20; the bottom of the tertiary reaction tower 15 is equipped with a pump pit 11, and each reaction tower is connected to the sewage pipe 14 through a pipe at its bottom. The bottom of the reaction tower filtrate tank 18 is connected to the pump pit 11 through a pipe, and the pump pit 11 is connected to the sewage pipe 14; the middle of the tertiary reaction tower 15 is equipped with an air replenishment hole 16; each air inlet pipe 8 is equipped with a valve to control the air intake; hydraulic pumps 22 are installed on the connecting pipes between the bottom of each reaction tower and the spray pipe, between the tertiary reaction tower and the reaction tower filter press tank, and between the reaction tower filtrate tank and the emergency high-level water tank.
[0016] Specifically, flue gas enters the primary high-efficiency scrubber 2 from flue gas inlet 21, and dilute acid enters the primary high-efficiency scrubber 2 from emergency high-level water tank 2 to scrub the flue gas. The scrubbed flue gas enters the gas cooling tower 3 for cooling, and then enters the secondary packed tower 4 through the main flue gas pipeline 20. After passing through the secondary packed tower 4, it enters the de-electrolysis and demisting device. The dilute acid underflow from the primary high-efficiency scrubber 2 enters the dilute acid settling tank 5, and is filtered by the purification filter press 6. The filter cake enters the smelting system for processing below the purification filter press. The dilute acid with high arsenic content filtered by the purification filter press 6 is pumped into the primary reaction tower 12, and then enters the secondary reaction tower 13 and the tertiary reaction tower 15 sequentially through the overflow pipe 10. Inside each reaction tower, it is circulated and sprayed through the spray pipe 19. The high-concentration sulfur dioxide generated by the regeneration separator of the ion liquid desulfurization system enters the spray pipes below the primary reaction tower 12, the secondary reaction tower 13, and the tertiary reaction tower 15 through the air inlet pipe 8, and comes into contact with the dilute acid to carry out a reduction reaction. When the liquid level in the primary reaction tower 12 is high, the liquid flows sequentially into the secondary reaction tower 13 and the tertiary reaction tower 14 through the overflow pipe. The dilute acid sprayed in the reaction towers comes into contact with the high-concentration sulfur dioxide introduced through the lower air inlet pipe 8, and a reduction reaction occurs to generate arsenic trioxide precipitate. This precipitate is then filtered by the underflow from the tertiary reaction tower 15. The arsenic-free dilute acid enters the emergency high-level water tank 1 and is supplied to the purification system for reuse. After the reaction, the gas and the sulfur dioxide dissolved in the liquid precipitate, and then pass through the degassing pipe 9 sequentially through the reaction tower filtrate tank 18, the tertiary reaction tower 15, the secondary reaction tower 13, and the primary reaction tower 12, and are connected to the main flue gas pipe 20. A gas injection hole 16 is set in the middle of the tertiary reaction tower 15 to control the system pressure. The underflow from the reaction tower filtrate tank 18, the primary reaction tower 12, the secondary reaction tower 13, and the tertiary reaction tower 15 is collected through the sewage pipe 14 and pumped into the tertiary reaction tower 15 for circulation. After the dilute acid from the bottom of the three-stage reaction tower 15 is filtered by the reaction tower filter press 17, the dilute acid with a lower arsenic content enters the reaction tower filtrate tank 18 for storage, and is then pumped into the emergency high-level water tank 1 for circulation. The arsenic trioxide that settles from the reduction reaction is pressed into filter cake and returned to the smelting system for ore blending.
