Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of chemical engineering, metallurgy, and environmental protection, and in particular to the field of sulfuric acid production and desulfurization, energy saving, and ultra-low emission technology for various furnaces and reactors that generate SO2-containing flue gas. Specifically, it is a device for producing electronic-grade sulfuric acid based on the absorption and desorption of organic amines. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic-grade sulfuric acid, also known as high-purity sulfuric acid or ultra-pure sulfuric acid, is a crucial, ultra-clean basic chemical reagent widely used in the assembly and processing of semiconductors and very large-scale integrated circuits. It is primarily used for cleaning and etching silicon wafers, effectively removing impurities, inorganic residues, and carbon deposits. With the further miniaturization of chip manufacturing processes and the development of new energy technologies (such as lithium batteries and hydrogen energy), the purity and application scenarios of electronic-grade sulfuric acid will continue to upgrade. Electronic-grade sulfuric acid is a high-end product among sulfuric acid products developed and introduced in recent years, and its application in the electronics industry and other fields has developed rapidly. The electronics industry is developing rapidly globally, and Asia (especially China, South Korea, and Japan) is the global center of semiconductor and PCB manufacturing, leading to a surge in demand for electronic-grade sulfuric acid, with the demand volume continuing to grow.
[0003] Flue gas emitted from kilns or reactors in smelting and chemical industries contains SO2. Flue gas with a high concentration of SO2 is typically used to produce industrial-grade sulfuric acid; flue gas with a relatively low concentration of SO2 is usually concentrated and purified using organic amine absorption before being used to produce liquid SO2 or returned to the sulfuric acid system for sulfuric acid production. Organic amine desulfurization, due to the unique selectivity of organic amines in absorbing SO2, increases the SO2 concentration while effectively separating it from other substances. Its characteristics, such as sulfur resource recovery and reuse, and minimal secondary pollution, have led to its rapid adoption in the past decade. Currently, China has become the world's fastest-growing market for IT and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) demand. The competitiveness of leading Chinese companies is continuously strengthening, with huge long-term growth potential, making it one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic sectors in the chemical industry. The demand for ultra-clean, high-purity reagents is also gradually increasing. Electronic-grade sulfuric acid accounts for approximately 30% of the total consumption of high-purity reagents, indicating a broad market prospect for electronic-grade sulfuric acid. Currently, the production process of electronic-grade sulfuric acid relies heavily on imported technology. Common methods for preparing electronic-grade sulfuric acid include distillation and gas absorption.
[0004] Distillation is a distillation method that uses reflux to separate liquid mixtures to achieve high purity. Atmospheric distillation typically involves temperatures as high as 330℃, requiring high-quality equipment. Vacuum distillation, on the other hand, operates at temperatures of 175–190℃ and pressures of 1.33 kPa–2.67 kPa. Distillation is energy-intensive and costly, and some impurities are difficult to remove. The resulting waste gases and acid mists are harmful to human health and environmental protection, making it suitable only for small-scale production.
[0005] The gas absorption method involves purifying the furnace gas to obtain ultrapure fuming sulfuric acid. The purified sulfur trioxide after the fuming sulfuric acid is evaporated and demisted is directly absorbed by ultrapure water. The purification of sulfur trioxide is the key to achieving product standards.
[0006] Multi-stage distillation is used to remove volatile impurities (such as HCl and NOx), but it is inefficient, difficult, lengthy, and results in inconsistent product quality and high investment and operating costs. Therefore, breakthroughs are urgently needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing an apparatus for producing electronic-grade sulfuric acid based on the absorption and desorption of organic amines; the gas in the section after the organic amine absorption and desorption unit of this apparatus can be closed-looped to achieve zero emissions.
[0008] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] The organic amine absorption and desorption device is used to treat SO2 flue gas containing other components to obtain SO2 saturated gas containing pure SO2 and water, which is then transported to the SO2 gas enrichment device.
[0011] The SO2 gas enrichment device is used to condense and separate SO2 saturated gas into gas and liquid to obtain high-concentration SO2 gas with a volume concentration of 80% to 95%, which is then transported to the circulating gas mixing device.
[0012] The circulating gas mixing device is used to mix high-concentration SO2 gas with pure O2 and inert gas to obtain SO2 water-containing mixed gas with a volume concentration of 7% to 40%, and then transport it to the drying device. The source of inert gas is the inert gas that has not been absorbed by the subsequent device and the newly added inert gas. The inert gas is recycled to achieve zero emissions of tail gas.
[0013] The drying device uses concentrated sulfuric acid with a mass fraction of not less than 93% to dry the SO2-water mixture to obtain a dehydrated SO2 mixture, which is then transported to a quasi-isothermal multi-stage conversion unit.
[0014] The quasi-isothermal multi-stage conversion device is used to pressurize and heat the SO2 dehydrated gas mixture and then perform multi-stage conversion to obtain a SO3 mixture containing SO3, excess O2, inert gas and a small amount of impurities, which is then transported to the fuming acid recycling absorption device.
[0015] The fuming acid circulating absorption device uses fuming sulfuric acid to circulate and absorb SO3 in the SO3 mixture, and obtains fuming sulfuric acid with a free SO3 content of 26% to 32%, which is then transported to the evaporation and impurity removal device.
[0016] The evaporation and impurity removal device is used to evaporate and remove impurities from fuming sulfuric acid with a SO3 free content of 26% to 32% to obtain high-purity SO3 gas with a purity of over 99.99%, which is then transported to the liquefaction distillation unit.
[0017] The liquefaction distillation unit is used to liquefy and distill high-purity SO3 gas to obtain ultra-pure SO3 liquid with a purity of over 99.9999%, and then transport it to the gasification mixing unit.
[0018] The gasification mixing device is used to vaporize ultrapure SO3 liquid into ultrapure SO3 gas, which is then mixed with ultrapure inert gas to obtain electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption gas, and then transported to the electronic-grade sulfuric acid recycling absorption device.

After partial absorption of SO3 in the SO3 mixture supplied to the fuming acid circulating absorption device by the quasi-isothermal multi-stage conversion device, the SO3 mixture carrying the remaining SO3 enters the chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower in the chemical reagent sulfuric acid circulating absorption device for absorption. The finished chemical reagent sulfuric acid obtained by the circulating absorption of SO3 is cooled and output through the finished chemical reagent sulfuric acid output pipe. The tail gas, composed of excess O2 and inert gas, returns to the circulating gas mixing device through the inert gas circulation pipe.

The lower part of the sulfuric acid absorption tower is connected to the top of a fuming sulfuric acid absorption tower via a pipeline to receive the SO3 mixture carrying residual SO3 output from the fuming sulfuric acid absorption tower. The bottom of the sulfuric acid absorption tower is connected to the sulfuric acid circulating tank via a pipeline. The sulfuric acid circulating pump in the sulfuric acid circulating tank is connected to the sulfuric acid cooler via a pipeline, and the sulfuric acid cooler is connected to a liquid distributor above the packing layer in the sulfuric acid absorption tower via a pipeline.

[0022] The process of circulating absorption in the chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower is as follows: A mixed gas of SO3 with a pressure of 9 kPa to 24 kPa and a temperature of 80°C to 130°C is introduced from the bottom of the chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower and encounters the chemical reagent sulfuric acid with a pressure of 100 kPa to 150 kPa and a temperature of 60°C to 80°C, which is flowing downwards. The remaining SO3 is absorbed, generating atmospheric pressure chemical reagent sulfuric acid at a temperature of 70°C to 100°C. This sulfuric acid returns to the chemical reagent sulfuric acid circulation tank and is then pressurized by the chemical reagent sulfuric acid circulation pump and cooled by the chemical reagent sulfuric acid cooler to a pressure of 100 kPa to 150 kPa and a temperature of 60°C to 80°C, continuing to participate in the circulation absorption. The tail gas, consisting of excess O2 and inert gas, with a pressure of 6 kPa to 21 kPa and a temperature of 70°C to 90°C, is output from the top of the chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower and returns to the circulating mixing device to continue participating in the circulation.

Flue gas containing impurities and volatile gases with a concentration of 0.1% to 7% and containing SO2 is purified and scrubbed through an adiabatic evaporation cooling and dust removal system before entering the SO2 flue gas absorption tower to undergo a gas-liquid absorption reaction with organic amine liquid. After SO2 removal, the flue gas meets the ultra-clean emission standard and is then discharged through a chimney. The rich amine liquid that has absorbed SO2 in the SO2 flue gas absorption tower is heated by a lean-rich amine heat exchanger and then enters the SO2 desorption tower.

The SO3 mixture after absorption by the fuming sulfuric acid absorption tower enters a chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower to absorb the remaining SO3 gas. The chemical reagent sulfuric acid circulation tank is replenished with ultrapure water to maintain acid concentration balance while producing chemical reagent sulfuric acid that meets the GB / T625 national standard.
[0045] The device provided by this invention utilizes fuming sulfuric acid to obtain high-purity SO3 gas through evaporation. The high-purity SO3 gas is then liquefied and distilled in an SO3 condenser to obtain ultra-pure SO3 liquid. The liquefaction and distillation process removes reducing gases based on the difference in boiling points, thus completing the liquefaction and distillation process.
[0046] The device provided by this utility model heats and vaporizes ultrapure SO3 liquid. The ultrapure SO3 gas generated after heating and vaporization is mixed with an introduced ultrapure inert gas and then enters an electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption tower. The electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption tower directly absorbs the ultrapure sulfuric acid, which can be replenished with electronic-grade ultrapure water. The absorbed electronic-grade sulfuric acid is filtered in 1 to 3 stages (the filter membrane pore size is 0.1 to 1 μm) to obtain the finished electronic-grade sulfuric acid. The finished electronic-grade sulfuric acid is sent from the electronic-grade sulfuric acid output pipe into a fluoropolymer-lined electronic-grade sulfuric acid storage tank to obtain ultrapure sulfuric acid (meeting the GB / T41881-2022 standard) product.
[0047] The device provided by this utility model purifies SO2 from raw material gas using organic amines, and then absorbs electronic-grade sulfuric acid through a process of fuming sulfuric acid distillation, SO3 liquefaction distillation, and preparation of electronic-grade ultrapure water. This process enables large-scale production of electronic-grade sulfuric acid, while simultaneously producing chemical reagent sulfuric acid. It has the advantages of a short process flow, no secondary pollution, ultra-clean emissions, and the ability to scale up and automate the equipment. The overall investment and operating costs are reduced by 20%-40%, making it suitable for widespread use. Attached Figure Description

[0054] The key technologies for high-grade E1 and E2 electronic-grade sulfuric acid products are ultra-pure production equipment and a clean control environment. This set of equipment can produce chemical reagent sulfuric acid and electronic-grade sulfuric acid while meeting ultra-clean emission standards, regardless of the concentration of SO2-containing flue gas.
[0055] The process flow steps for using the apparatus for producing electronic-grade sulfuric acid based on the absorption and desorption of organic amines provided by this utility model are as follows:
[0056] A. Flue gas containing SO2 (0.1%–7% SO2 volume concentration) and impurities, along with volatile gases, undergoes adiabatic evaporation cooling and dust removal through a purification and scrubbing system before entering SO2 flue gas absorption tower 1 for gas-liquid absorption reaction. After SO2 removal, the flue gas meets ultra-clean emission standards and is then discharged through chimney 36. The amine-rich liquid, having absorbed SO2 in SO2 flue gas absorption tower 1, is then heated by a lean-amine heat exchanger 2 before entering SO2 desorption tower 3. In SO2 desorption tower 3, the amine-rich liquid undergoes desorption by secondary steam generated by a reboiler, yielding pure SO2 and water at a temperature of 90℃–125℃, resulting in SO2-saturated gas.
[0057] B. Saturated SO2 gas is first cooled to 40℃~80℃ to remove water, and then dehydrated by gas-liquid separation to obtain high-concentration SO2 gas with a volume concentration of 80%~95% SO2 and 20%~5% water.
[0058] C. A mixture of high-concentration SO2 gas, pure O2, and inert gas is used to obtain a water-containing SO2 mixture at a temperature of 50℃~90℃. The volume concentration of SO2 in the water-containing SO2 mixture is 7%~40%, and the volume concentration of O2 is 7%~40%.
[0059] D. A mixture of SO2 and water is dried with concentrated sulfuric acid of not less than 93% by mass to obtain a dehydrated SO2 mixture at a temperature of 50℃~120℃. The volume concentration of SO2 in the dehydrated SO2 mixture is 12%~40%, preferably 20%~40%.
[0060] E. Pressurizing the SO2 dehydration mixture yields a pressurized SO2 mixture with a pressure of 25 kPa to 40 kPa and a temperature of 70°C to 170°C. After multi-stage heating, this pressurized SO2 mixture yields a converted SO2 mixture with a pressure of 22 kPa to 37 kPa and a temperature of 380°C to 450°C. This converted SO2 mixture undergoes further multi-stage conversion to yield an SO3 mixture with a pressure of 12 kPa to 27 kPa and a temperature of 160°C to 220°C. The SO3 mixture consists of SO3, excess O2, inert gases, and trace impurities. The overall SO2 conversion rate after multi-stage conversion reaches 99.5%.
[0061] F. A mixture of SO3 gas with a pressure of 12kPa to 27kPa and a temperature of 160℃ to 220℃ is introduced from the bottom of the fuming sulfuric acid absorption tower 10 and encounters fuming sulfuric acid with a pressure of 100kPa to 150kPa and a temperature of 50℃ to 60℃ flowing downwards. Some of the absorbed SO3 is converted into atmospheric pressure fuming sulfuric acid at a temperature of 60℃ to 80℃. This gas returns to the fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank and is pressurized by the fuming sulfuric acid circulation pump 12 and cooled by the fuming sulfuric acid cooler 11 to a pressure of 100kPa to 150kPa and a temperature of 50℃ to 60℃. The SO3 mixture, containing 35%–50% of the SO3 in the SO3 mixture after being absorbed by fuming sulfuric acid, and with a pressure of 9 kPa–24 kPa and a temperature of 80°C–130°C, is then transported to the chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower 14 for further absorption. This SO3 mixture, with a pressure of 9 kPa–24 kPa and a temperature of 80°C–130°C, is introduced from the bottom of the chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower 14 and encounters the chemical reagent sulfuric acid, with a pressure of 100 kPa–150 kPa and a temperature of 60°C–80°C, flowing downwards. The remaining SO3 is absorbed, generating atmospheric sulfuric acid at a temperature of 70℃~100℃. This sulfuric acid is returned to the sulfuric acid circulation tank and pressurized by the sulfuric acid circulation pump 16 and cooled by the sulfuric acid cooler 17 to a pressure of 100kPa~150kPa and a temperature of 60℃~80℃. It then continues to participate in the circulation absorption. Meanwhile, the tail gas from the top of the sulfuric acid absorption tower 14, composed of excess O2 and inert gases, with a pressure of 6kPa~21kPa and a temperature of 70℃~90℃, returns to step C to continue the circulation. The reagent sulfuric acid circulation tank is replenished with ultrapure water through the ultrapure water inlet pipe 15 to maintain acid concentration balance. The reagent sulfuric acid in the chemical reagent sulfuric acid circulation tank, with a temperature of 70℃~90℃, is pressurized by the chemical reagent sulfuric acid circulation pump 16 and cooled by the chemical reagent sulfuric acid cooler 17 to a pressure of 100kPa~150kPa and a temperature of 60℃~80℃, and then output through the finished chemical reagent sulfuric acid outlet pipe 18. The total SO3 absorption rate in the SO3 mixture can reach 99.99% after absorption by the fuming sulfuric acid circulation and the chemical reagent sulfuric acid circulation.
[0062] G. Fuming sulfuric acid with a SO3 free concentration of 26%–32% in the fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank is pressurized to 100 kPa–150 kPa by the fuming sulfuric acid circulation pump 12, and then sent to the SO3 evaporator 29 by the fuming sulfuric acid inlet pipe 13. The SO3 evaporator 29, heated by low-pressure steam, evaporates and removes impurities from the fuming sulfuric acid with a SO3 free concentration of 26%–32%, obtaining SO3 gas with a pressure of 20 kPa–50 kPa and a temperature of 90°C–140°C. Fuming sulfuric acid with a SO3 free content of 26% to 32% is reduced to atmospheric pressure fuming sulfuric acid with a SO3 free content of 20% to 23% and a temperature of 90℃ to 110℃ after SO3 evaporation and returned to the fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank; the evaporation process of SO3 evaporator 29 can remove trace heavy metals and dust entrained in it. The SO3 gas evaporated by SO3 evaporator 29 is then removed by demister to remove trace sulfuric acid entrained in it, resulting in high-purity SO3 gas with a purity of over 99.99%.
[0063] H. High-purity SO3 gas enters SO3 condenser 28 at a temperature of 30℃~50℃ for liquefaction distillation (distillation removes other non-condensable gases based on its different properties from other non-condensable gases), obtaining ultra-pure SO3 liquid with a pressure of 0kPa~1kPa, a temperature of 20℃~35℃ and a purity of 99.9999% or higher, which is then sent to liquid SO3 storage tank 27 for storage; the gaseous reducing gas (such as SO2 gas) produced by liquefaction distillation returns to the circulating gas mixing device 5 in step C through a valved pipeline installed on SO3 condenser 28 or liquid SO3 storage tank 27.
[0064] 1. Ultrapure SO3 liquid is fed into SO3 vaporizer 26, which has a vaporization temperature of 50℃~80℃. SO3 vaporizer 26, which is heated by low-pressure steam, outputs ultrapure SO3 gas with a pressure of 10kPa~15kPa and a temperature of 60℃~80℃. The electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption gas obtained by mixing ultrapure SO3 gas with ultrapure inert gas is input into electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption tower 20. The residual liquid produced by SO3 vaporizer 26 is transported to fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank to participate in SO3 absorption.
[0065] J. Electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption gas with a pressure of 10kPa~15kPa and a temperature of 60℃~80℃ is introduced from the bottom of the electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption tower 20 and encounters electronic-grade sulfuric acid with a pressure of 10kPa~15kPa and a temperature of 60℃~80℃ flowing down from above. The gas is absorbed, generating atmospheric pressure electronic-grade sulfuric acid with a temperature of 70℃~100℃. This gas returns to the electronic-grade sulfuric acid circulation tank and is then pressurized by the electronic-grade sulfuric acid circulation pump 22 and cooled by the cluster heat exchanger 23 to a pressure of 10kPa~15kPa and a temperature of 60℃. Electronic-grade sulfuric acid at ~80℃ continues to participate in the circulation absorption, and the inert gas output from the top of the electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption tower 20, with a pressure of 6kPa~11kPa and a temperature of 70℃~90℃, returns to step C to continue the circulation, resulting in zero tail gas emissions. The electronic-grade sulfuric acid circulation tank is replenished with electronic-grade ultrapure water through the electronic-grade ultrapure water input pipe 21 to maintain acid concentration balance. The purity of the electronic-grade ultrapure water is 99.9999wt%, and the absorption rate of ultrapure SO3 gas in the electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption gas can reach 99.99%.
[0066] K. Electronic-grade sulfuric acid is pressurized by electronic-grade sulfuric acid circulation pump 22 and cooled by cluster heat exchanger 23 to a pressure not exceeding 100 kPa and a temperature not exceeding 40°C. It is then sent to filter 24 with a filter membrane pore size of 0.1 μm to 1 μm for 1 to 3 stages of filtration to obtain finished electronic-grade sulfuric acid. The finished electronic-grade sulfuric acid is output to electronic-grade sulfuric acid storage tank for nitrogen sealing through electronic-grade sulfuric acid output pipe 25. The finished electronic-grade sulfuric acid conforms to the national standard GB / T41881-2022.
[0067] The apparatus for producing electronic-grade sulfuric acid based on the absorption and desorption of organic amines provided by this utility model will be further illustrated below in conjunction with the apparatus and process flow for producing electronic-grade sulfuric acid based on the absorption and desorption of organic amines.
[0068] SO2-containing flue gas emitted from various kilns or reactors in smelting, chemical, and other industries undergoes adiabatic evaporation cooling and dust removal through a purification and scrubbing system before entering the SO2 flue gas absorption tower 1. The flue gas reacts with lean amine liquid flowing from top to bottom on the packing surface through a gas-liquid absorption reaction. After SO2 removal, the flue gas meets ultra-clean emission standards and is then discharged through chimney 36. The SO2-rich amine liquid absorbed in the SO2 flue gas absorption tower 1 is heated to 97°C by the lean-rich amine heat exchanger 2 and then sent to the SO2 desorption tower 3. In the SO2 desorption tower 3, desorption is completed by secondary steam heating generated by a reboiler (heat source: low-pressure steam). The desorbed SO2 saturated gas sequentially enters the condenser 35 and the SO2 vapor-liquid separator 34 to obtain a high-concentration SO2 gas composed of 90% SO2 and 10% water at a temperature of 45°C. This achieves the goal of SO2 gas purification and concentration, solving the problem of removing volatile gases by distillation.
[0069] The high-concentration SO2 gas produced by the SO2 vapor-liquid separator 34 is mixed with the pure O2 replenishment pipe 4 and the N2 returned from the chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower 14 and / or the electronic grade sulfuric acid absorption tower 20 to obtain a SO2-water mixture gas with a temperature of 50℃~90℃. The SO2-water mixture gas has a SO2 concentration of 30% (V / V%), an O2 concentration of 25% (V / V%), and the remainder is N2 and water. The SO2-water mixture gas enters the flue gas drying tower 6 and comes into countercurrent contact with the sprayed 95% dry sulfuric acid. After drying, a SO2-water-free mixture gas with a temperature of 50℃~120℃ is obtained. The SO2-water-free mixture gas is pressurized to 25kPa~40kPa by the SO2 booster fan 7 and then enters the first-stage heat exchanger 8 to exchange heat with the third-stage reformed mixture gas at the first-stage outlet of the multi-stage converter 9. The SO2 first-stage heated mixture gas after heat exchange then enters the second-stage heat exchanger 33 to exchange heat with the second-stage outlet of the multi-stage converter 9. The SO2 mixture undergoes heat exchange, and the SO2 mixture after heat exchange enters the tertiary heat exchanger 32 to exchange heat with the primary conversion mixture from the outlet of the quasi-isothermal pre-converter 31. After three heat exchanges, the temperature of the SO2 conversion mixture reaches 400℃, and then enters the quasi-isothermal pre-converter 31 for primary conversion reaction. The temperature of the primary conversion mixture at the outlet of the quasi-isothermal pre-converter 31 will rise. After heat recovery by the waste heat boiler 30 and cooling to 425℃ by heat exchange in the tertiary heat exchanger 32, it enters the second layer of the multi-stage converter 9. After the reaction in the second layer of the multi-stage converter 9, the temperature of the secondary conversion mixture rises and enters the secondary heat exchanger 33. After heat exchange, the temperature drops to 415℃ and enters the first layer of the multi-stage converter 9 for conversion reaction. The tertiary conversion mixture after the reaction in the first layer of the multi-stage converter 9 enters the primary heat exchanger 8. The SO3 mixture, whose temperature drops to 170℃ after heat exchange, is sent to the fuming sulfuric acid absorption tower 10.
[0070] The fuming sulfuric acid absorption tower 10 completes the fuming sulfuric acid circulation through the fuming sulfuric acid circulation pump 12 and the fuming sulfuric acid cooler 11. The fuming sulfuric acid in the fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank can replenish the consumption in the dry sulfuric acid circulation tank. The fuming sulfuric acid in the fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank is replenished from the chemical reagent sulfuric acid circulation tank and / or the SO3 vaporizer 26. After the SO3 mixture is partially absorbed by the acid in the fuming sulfuric acid absorption tower 10, the remaining SO3 mixture enters the chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower 14 for further absorption. Ultrapure water is added through the ultrapure water inlet pipe 15 to maintain the acid concentration balance. The chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower 14 completes the acid circulation through the chemical reagent sulfuric acid circulation pump 16 and the chemical reagent sulfuric acid cooler 17. At the same time, chemical reagent sulfuric acid (analytical grade sulfuric acid) is produced through the finished chemical reagent sulfuric acid outlet pipe 18. At this time, the total absorption rate of SO3 gas reaches 99.99%, and almost all of the remainder is N2 (the remainder is excess O2), which returns to the circulating gas mixing device 5 to continue gas distribution and complete the closed cycle.
[0071] Fuming sulfuric acid with a SO3 free content of 26% to 32% in the fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank is pressurized to 100 kPa to 150 kPa by the fuming sulfuric acid circulation pump 12, and then sent to SO3 evaporator 29 through fuming sulfuric acid inlet pipe 13. In SO3 evaporator 29, SO3 gas is evaporated by heating to 130°C with low-pressure saturated steam. The atmospheric pressure fuming sulfuric acid with a SO3 free content of 20% to 23% and a temperature of 90°C to 110°C after evaporation in SO3 evaporator 29 returns to the fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank to continue to circulate and absorb SO3 in the SO3 mixture. The SO3 gas evaporated from SO3 evaporator 29 is then removed by a demister to remove trace amounts of sulfuric acid, resulting in high-purity SO3 gas with a purity of over 99.99%.
[0072] High-purity SO3 gas is condensed into liquid SO3 in an SO3 condenser 28 with the temperature controlled at 35℃ and then stored in a liquid SO3 storage tank 27. Since reducing gases such as SO2 have high boiling points, they are still in a gaseous state at this point and return to the circulating gas mixing device 5 through the exhaust pipe. This process completes the SO3 distillation and purification process, and the obtained ultra-pure SO3 liquid has a purity of 99.9999%.
[0073] Ultrapure SO3 liquid is vaporized in SO3 vaporizer 26 to obtain ultrapure SO3 gas. The ultrapure SO3 gas is mixed with ultrapure inert gas to obtain electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption gas, which enters electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption tower 20 through ultrapure SO3 gas output pipe 19 for absorption. Ultrapure water is added through electronic-grade ultrapure water input pipe 21 to maintain the acid concentration balance in the electronic-grade sulfuric acid circulation tank. Electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption tower 20 completes the circulation absorption through electronic-grade sulfuric acid circulation tank, electronic-grade sulfuric acid circulation pump 22, and cluster heat exchanger 23. After circulation absorption, the electronic-grade sulfuric acid passes through filter 24 and electronic-grade sulfuric acid output pipe 25 to produce finished electronic-grade sulfuric acid (reaching E1 and E2 grades), which is transported under nitrogen sealing in storage tanks.

[0085] Based on the above three verification examples that demonstrate the process feasibility of the device provided by this utility model, this utility model will illustrate the specific usage process of the device for producing electronic-grade sulfuric acid based on the absorption and desorption of organic amines through the following embodiments.

[0087] A. Flue gas containing SO2 (3.2% SO2 volume concentration) and impurities, along with volatile gases, undergoes adiabatic evaporation cooling and dust removal through a purification and scrubbing system before entering SO2 flue gas absorption tower 1 for gas-liquid absorption reaction. After SO2 removal, the flue gas meets ultra-clean emission standards and is then discharged through chimney 36. The amine-rich liquid, having absorbed SO2 in SO2 flue gas absorption tower 1, is then heated by a lean-amine heat exchanger 2 before entering SO2 desorption tower 3. In SO2 desorption tower 3, the amine-rich liquid undergoes desorption by secondary steam generated by a reboiler, yielding a saturated SO2 gas at 113°C containing pure SO2 and water.
[0088] B. Saturated SO2 gas is first cooled to 50°C by condensation to remove water, and then dehydrated by gas-liquid separation to obtain high-concentration SO2 gas with a volume concentration of 92% SO2 and 8% water.
[0089] C. A mixture of high-concentration SO2 gas, pure O2, and inert gas is obtained to form a SO2-water mixture at a temperature of 50°C. The SO2 volume concentration in the SO2-water mixture reaches 30%, and the O2 volume concentration reaches 29%.
[0090] D. A mixture of SO2 and water is dried using concentrated sulfuric acid with a mass fraction of not less than 93% to obtain a dehydrated SO2 mixture at a temperature of 50℃. The volume concentration of SO2 in the dehydrated SO2 mixture is 31%.
[0091] E. The SO2 dehydration mixture is pressurized to obtain a SO2 pressurized mixture with a pressure of 30 kPa and a temperature of 80℃. This SO2 pressurized mixture undergoes a first-stage heating process to obtain a first-stage heated SO2 mixture with a pressure of 28.5 kPa and a temperature of 300℃. A second-stage heating process yields a second-stage heated SO2 mixture with a pressure of 27.2 kPa and a temperature of 350℃. A third-stage heating process yields a SO2 conversion mixture with a pressure of 26 kPa and a temperature of 400℃. This SO2 conversion mixture undergoes a first-stage conversion process to output a first-stage conversion mixture with a pressure of 24 kPa and a temperature of 500℃. This first-stage conversion mixture undergoes a first-stage cooling process to output a final pressure of 23 kPa and a temperature of... The process involves a first-stage cooling mixture at 440℃; a second-stage reforming mixture at 490℃ and 20.8 kPa; a third-stage cooling mixture at 420℃ and 19 kPa; a fourth-stage cooling mixture at 445℃ and 17 kPa; and finally, a third-stage cooling mixture at 215℃, producing an SO3 mixture. The SO3 mixture consists of SO3, excess O2, inert gases, and trace impurities. The overall SO2 conversion rate after multi-stage reforming reaches 99.5%.
[0092] F.

Part of the SO3 is absorbed, generating atmospheric fuming sulfuric acid at a temperature of 65°C. This gas returns to the fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank and is pressurized by the fuming sulfuric acid circulation pump 12 and cooled by the fuming sulfuric acid cooler 11 to a pressure of 120 kPa and a temperature of 52°C, continuing to participate in the circulation absorption. A SO3 mixture with 37% of its SO3 absorbed by the fuming sulfuric acid circulation and containing the remaining SO3, at a pressure of 15 kPa and a temperature of 80°C, is transported to the chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower 14 for further circulation absorption. A SO3 mixture with a pressure of 12 kPa and a temperature of 80°C is introduced from the bottom of the chemical reagent sulfuric acid absorption tower 14 and encounters chemical reagent sulfuric acid with a pressure of 120 kPa and a temperature of 70°C flowing downwards. The remaining SO3 is absorbed, generating atmospheric fuming sulfuric acid at a temperature of 95°C. At 0℃, atmospheric pressure sulfuric acid is returned to the sulfuric acid circulation tank and pressurized by the sulfuric acid circulation pump 16 and cooled by the sulfuric acid cooler 17 to a pressure of 120 kPa and a temperature of 70℃, continuing to participate in the circulation absorption. Meanwhile, the tail gas, composed of excess O2 and inert gas, with a pressure of 9 kPa and a temperature of 75℃, is output from the top of the sulfuric acid absorption tower 14 and returns to step C to continue the circulation. The sulfuric acid circulation tank is replenished with ultrapure water through the ultrapure water inlet pipe 15 to maintain acid concentration balance. The sulfuric acid at 90℃ in the circulation tank is pressurized by the sulfuric acid circulation pump 16 and cooled by the sulfuric acid cooler 17 to a pressure of 120 kPa and a temperature of 70℃, and then output through the finished sulfuric acid outlet pipe 18. The total SO3 absorption rate in the SO3 mixture after absorption by fuming sulfuric acid circulation and sulfuric acid circulation can reach 99.99%.
[0093] G. Fuming sulfuric acid with a SO3 free content of 30% in the fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank is pressurized to 120 kPa by the fuming sulfuric acid circulation pump 12, and then sent to the SO3 evaporator 29 through the fuming sulfuric acid inlet pipe 13. The SO3 evaporator 29, heated by low-pressure steam, evaporates and removes impurities from the fuming sulfuric acid with a SO3 free content of 30%, obtaining SO3 gas with a pressure of 40 kPa and a temperature of 130°C. The fuming sulfuric acid with a SO3 free content of 30% is reduced to atmospheric pressure fuming sulfuric acid with a SO3 free content of 22% and a temperature of 100°C after SO3 evaporation and returned to the fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank. The evaporation process of SO3 evaporator 29 can remove trace heavy metals and dust. The SO3 gas evaporated by SO3 evaporator 29 is purified by a demister to remove trace sulfuric acid, obtaining high-purity SO3 gas with a purity of over 99.99%.
[0094] H. High-purity SO3 gas enters SO3 condenser 28 at 35°C for liquefaction distillation (distillation removes other non-condensable gases based on its different properties from other non-condensable gases), obtaining ultra-pure SO3 liquid with a pressure of 0.3 kPa, a temperature of 35°C, and a purity of over 99.9999%, which is then sent to liquid SO3 storage tank 27 for storage; the gaseous reducing gas (such as SO2 gas) produced by liquefaction distillation returns to the circulating gas mixing device 5 in step C through a valved pipeline installed on SO3 condenser 28 or liquid SO3 storage tank 27.
[0095] 1. Ultrapure SO3 liquid is fed into SO3 vaporizer 26, which has a vaporization temperature of 65℃. SO3 vaporizer 26, which is heated by low-pressure steam, outputs ultrapure SO3 gas with a pressure of 10kPa and a temperature of 65℃. The electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption gas obtained by mixing ultrapure SO3 gas with ultrapure inert gas is input into electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption tower 20. The residual liquid produced by SO3 vaporizer 26 is transported to fuming sulfuric acid circulation tank to participate in SO3 absorption.
[0096] J. Electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption gas is introduced from the bottom of the electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption tower 20 and encounters electronic-grade sulfuric acid with a pressure of 10 kPa and a temperature of 65°C flowing downwards. The gas is absorbed, generating atmospheric-pressure electronic-grade sulfuric acid at a temperature of 85°C. This gas returns to the electronic-grade sulfuric acid circulation tank and is pressurized by the electronic-grade sulfuric acid circulation pump 22 and cooled by the cluster heat exchanger 23 to a pressure of 120 kPa and a temperature of 65°C, continuing to participate in the circulation absorption. Meanwhile, inert gas with a pressure of 7.5 kPa and a temperature of 70°C is output from the top of the electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption tower 20 and returns to step C to continue the circulation, resulting in zero tail gas emissions. The electronic-grade sulfuric acid circulation tank is replenished with electronic-grade ultrapure water through the electronic-grade ultrapure water input pipe 21 to maintain acid concentration balance. The purity of the electronic-grade ultrapure water is 99.9999 wt%, and the absorption rate of ultrapure SO3 gas in the electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption gas can reach 99.99%.
[0097] K. Electronic-grade sulfuric acid is pressurized by electronic-grade sulfuric acid circulation pump 22 and cooled by cluster heat exchanger 23 to a pressure not exceeding 100 kPa and a temperature not exceeding 40°C. It is then sent to filter 24 with a filter membrane pore size of 0.1 μm to 1 μm for three-stage filtration to obtain finished electronic-grade sulfuric acid. The finished electronic-grade sulfuric acid is output to electronic-grade sulfuric acid storage tank for nitrogen sealing through electronic-grade sulfuric acid output pipe 25. The finished electronic-grade sulfuric acid meets the E1 grade in the national standard GB / T41881-2022.
[0098] This invention utilizes a device that evaporates SO3 gas from clean fuming sulfuric acid, achieving a purity several orders of magnitude higher than that of SO3 gas evaporated from industrial-grade fuming sulfuric acid. Further purification via SO3 distillation yields SO3 gas with a purity of 99.9999%. This high-purity SO3 gas is then absorbed by electronic-grade sulfuric acid in a clean environment within an electronic-grade sulfuric acid absorption tower 20 (lined with ultra-pure PTFE and packed with ultra-pure PFA Pall rings) to produce electronic-grade sulfuric acid (E1 and E2 grades). This significantly shortens the time required to reach the required standards, overcoming the problems of long processing times and unstable products associated with other processes. Therefore, it is suitable for widespread application.
