Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flue gas desulfurization technology, and is a desulfurization device for pulverized coal boilers that utilizes PTA inorganic sludge. Background Technology

[0002] Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is a key technology for reducing sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions. Several mainstream processes exist, including: Limestone-gypsum wet desulfurization: This process utilizes limestone slurry to react with SO2 in the flue gas, producing gypsum. Its disadvantages include high investment and operating costs, wastewater treatment, and large land area requirements, making it suitable for large power plants. Dry desulfurization: This process involves spraying a dry absorbent (such as sodium bicarbonate or lime powder) into the flue gas to react with SO2 and generate solid products. Its disadvantages include low desulfurization efficiency (70% to 90%), suitability for low-sulfur coal, low absorbent utilization, high operating costs, and difficulty in resource utilization of byproducts. Semi-dry desulfurization (spray drying, circulating fluidized bed): This process involves atomizing lime slurry and spraying it into a reaction tower to react with the flue gas and generate dry particulate matter. Its disadvantages include the need for proper treatment of byproducts, sensitivity to operating parameters, and lower absorbent utilization compared to wet processes. Ammonia desulfurization: This process uses ammonia water as the absorbent to generate ammonium sulfate. Its disadvantages are: ammonia is volatile and there is a risk of leakage; the equipment requires anti-corrosion treatment and the investment is high; and the cost of ammonia raw materials fluctuates greatly.

[0017] The above-mentioned desulfurization device for pulverized coal boilers utilizing PTA inorganic sludge can be further optimized and / or improved according to actual needs: Example 2: Its difference from Example 1 is as follows: (See attached) Figure 1 As shown, the sludge treatment unit also includes a filter press 9, a sludge slurry pipeline 15 is fixedly connected to the feed end of the filter press 9 via a sludge filter pipeline 21, and a sludge discharge pipeline 22 is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the filter press 9.

[0018] Example 3: Its difference from Examples 1 to 2 is as follows: (See attached) Figure 1 As shown, a sprayer 19 is fixedly installed in the upper part of the desulfurization tower 5, and the feed end of the sprayer 19 is connected to the desulfurization slurry pipeline 18.

[0022] As required, valves and instruments that enable the desulfurization device for pulverized coal boilers utilizing PTA inorganic sludge are fixedly installed on each pipeline to ensure its normal operation.

[0023] The pretreatment unit of PTA wastewater treatment involves homogenization and softening of the incoming water, using a lime and soda ash softening + coagulation sedimentation process. This process generates a large amount of inorganic sludge (mainly composed of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide), which requires treatment. This invention utilizes this sludge to achieve desulfurization of flue gas from a pulverized coal boiler. The specific process is as follows: Wastewater collected within the plant area includes RO concentrate from the PTA wastewater treatment plant, wastewater from the desalination station, and desulfurization wastewater from Boiler Island 6. This mixed wastewater is high in salinity and has high hardness. To prevent scaling in the subsequent membrane treatment section, the wastewater undergoes softening and hardness removal treatment in the pretreatment section. The three wastewater streams are introduced into softening tank 1 through PTA wastewater pipeline 10, desalination station wastewater pipeline 11, and boiler island desulfurization wastewater pipeline 12, respectively. Softening and hardness removal are typically achieved by adding a softening agent to softening tank 1. Afterward, flocculation and sedimentation occur in sedimentation tank 2. The inorganic sludge generated after sedimentation in sedimentation tank 2 is transported to sludge storage tank 3. The inorganic sludge is then pumped to desulfurization slurry preparation tank 4 via sludge pump 25. Excess inorganic sludge can be dewatered to a moisture content of 60% by filter press 9 before being transported off-site for disposal. In the desulfurization slurry preparation tank 4, limestone or water is added to the inorganic sludge slurry through the additive feed pipeline 24 to adjust the slurry density, resulting in a desulfurization slurry with a density between 1100 kg / m³ and 1200 kg / m³ and a pH value between 5.0 and 5.5. Then, the desulfurization slurry is pumped to the desulfurization tower 5 by the desulfurization slurry pump 26, and the amount of desulfurization slurry added is adjusted according to the slurry density, pH value, and environmental parameters.

[0024] The flue gas discharged from boiler 6 is pressurized and enters dust collector 7 for electrostatic precipitator. After dust removal, the flue gas then enters desulfurization tower 5. The flue gas rises through the spray zone, where desulfurization slurry suspension droplets sprayed downwards from the spray pipe group inside the desulfurization tower 5. The flue gas and droplets come into countercurrent contact, undergoing mass transfer and absorption reactions. Calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide in the desulfurization slurry remove SO2, SO3, HCl, and HF from the flue gas. The desulfurized flue gas is then discharged through chimney 8.

[0025] This invention transforms inorganic sludge into a valuable resource by modifying the inorganic sludge and flue gas desulfurization process. This reduces sludge treatment costs and desulfurization operating costs, lowering overall energy and material consumption while ensuring environmentally friendly emissions. For a 1.2 million-ton PTA production system, this pulverized coal boiler desulfurization device utilizing PTA inorganic sludge can save approximately 4.8 million yuan in sludge treatment costs and reduce desulfurizing agent costs by 2.4 million yuan annually.

[0026] In summary, this utility model utilizes PTA inorganic sludge to achieve desulfurization of boiler flue gas, with high treatment efficiency, low operating cost, and the ability to turn waste into treasure. It meets the environmental protection requirements for flue gas emissions and features environmental protection, labor saving, simplicity, and high efficiency.

[0027] The above technical features constitute various embodiments of this utility model, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Unnecessary technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
