Description

【Technical Field】 【0001】 This disclosure belongs to the technical field of chemistry and relates to a method for on-line controlling the oxidation state of slurry by the Ca concentration and pH in desulfurization slurry. 2+ It relates to a method for on-line controlling the oxidation state of the slurry by the Ca concentration and pH in the desulfurization slurry. 【0002】 This application is filed based on a Chinese patent application with the application number 202210827492.6 and the filing date of July 14, 2022, and claims the priority of the Chinese patent application. All the contents of the Chinese patent application are incorporated herein by reference. 【Background Art】 【0003】 Currently, in coal-fired power units, the wet desulfurization process mainly using limestone-gypsum is mainly used to remove SO2 from flue gas. SO2 in the flue gas is collected in the slurry. After entering the slurry tank, it exists as a reduced +4-valent sulfur substance (H2SO3, HSO3 - , SO3 2- ), and is oxidized by an oxidation fan, combines with Ca 2+ and precipitates to become by-product gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O). When the slurry is in a state of insufficient oxidation, +4-valent sulfur substances such as H2SO3, HSO3 - , SO3 2- etc. are generated, and the pH of the desulfurization slurry is mostly controlled at 4-6. At this time, the content of H2SO3 can also be ignored. The oxidation degree of the desulfurization slurry in the absorption tower can be evaluated by the sulfite content in the slurry. By controlling the oxidation state of the slurry in real time and precisely adjusting the oxidation air volume, it contributes to the safe and energy-saving operation and automatic control of the desulfurization system. 【0004】 For the analysis of the sulfite content in the desulfurization slurry, mainly manual sampling and laboratory detection methods are adopted. Since sulfite itself is easily oxidized, the oxidation state of the slurry tested by this method is significantly delayed compared with the actual situation. Therefore, the detection results in the laboratory deviate greatly from the actual situation of the slurry, and the quality of gypsum cannot be ensured. 【Summary of the Invention】 【Problems to be Solved by the Invention】 【0005】 An object of the present disclosure is to provide a method for online controlling the oxidation state of slurry by the Ca 2+ concentration and pH in the desulfurization slurry. 【Means for Solving the Problems】 【0006】 To achieve the above object, a method for online controlling the oxidation state of slurry by the Ca 2+ concentration and pH in the desulfurization slurry described in the present disclosure includes: a step of obtaining the Ca 2+ concentration and pH value in the slurry; inputting the oxidation air excess coefficient (α) and the pH value of the slurry into an oxidation air excess coefficient (α)-pH-SO3 2- concentration model under the amount of oxidation air to obtain the real-time concentration of SO3 2- in the desulfurization slurry, and then calculating a CaSO3 precipitation index pi based on the real-time concentration of SO3 2- in the desulfurization slurry and the critical concentration of SO3 2- when CaSO3 precipitates; controlling the amount of oxidation air based on the CaSO3 precipitation index pi, and online controlling the oxidation state of the slurry by the Ca 2+ concentration and pH in the desulfurization slurry. 【0007】 In some embodiments, the Ca 2+ concentration in the slurry is measured in real time by a calcium ion meter, and the pH value of the slurry is measured in real time by a pH meter. 【0008】 In some embodiments, the method includes: a step of establishing an oxidation air excess coefficient (α)-pH-SO3 2- concentration model under various amounts of oxidation air; SO3 when CaSO3 precipitates 2- The process further includes the step of determining the critical concentration of . 【0009】 In some examples, the excess oxidizing air coefficient α is the ratio of the amount of oxidizing air actually supplied by the absorption tower to the theoretical amount of oxidizing air required to completely oxidize the SO2 collected by the absorption tower, under conditions where the flue gas is considered capable of spontaneously oxidizing 10% of the SO2; that is, The values ​​of Q and S are calculated using JPEG0007875973000001.jpg2154, where Q is the amount of oxidizing air actually supplied by the absorption tower and S is the amount of SO2 collected by the absorption tower.
