Description

An apparatus and method for absorbing sulfur dioxide from boiler flue gas using iodine. Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of comprehensive utilization of boiler flue gas and hydrogen preparation technology, specifically relating to an apparatus and method for absorbing sulfur dioxide from boiler flue gas using iodine. Background Technology

[0002] Using iodine to absorb sulfur dioxide in flue gas to obtain hydrogen iodide, which is then used to produce hydrogen, achieves waste utilization, environmental protection, and the production of green hydrogen, with good social and economic benefits.

[0003] Iodine is typically used to absorb sulfur dioxide from flue gas using an absorption tower, but this method currently has the following problems:

[0004] (1) Iodine reacts with water and sulfur dioxide to produce sulfuric acid and hydroiodic acid. To separate sulfuric acid and hydroiodic acid, excess iodine needs to be added. Only when the solution density reaches 2.5 kg / L or higher can sulfuric acid and hydroiodic acid separate into layers. This process consumes a large amount of iodine. The diameter of the absorption tower is generally large, and to maintain the normal operation of the slurry circulation pump, a certain liquid level must be maintained, which further increases the iodine consumption.

[0005] (2) Iodine is a relatively volatile substance. Iodine vapor will cause pollution. At the same time, iodine has a high value, and the release of iodine vapor will increase the cost of hydrogen production.

[0006] (3) Absorption and settling cannot be completed in the same absorption tower. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention addresses the problems existing in current methods for producing hydrogen from sulfur dioxide in boiler flue gas by absorbing sulfur dioxide, and provides an apparatus and method for absorbing sulfur dioxide in boiler flue gas using iodine.

[0008] This invention is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0009] The present invention provides a device for absorbing sulfur dioxide from boiler flue gas using iodine, comprising a flue gas inlet, an absorption tower, a packing layer, and a demister layer;

[0010] The outlet of the flue gas inlet is connected to the inlet of the absorption tower. The packing layer and the demister layer are installed sequentially from bottom to top in the upper part of the absorption tower. The absorption tower can detect sulfur dioxide, and the packing layer and the demister layer can resist the corrosion of sulfuric acid and hydroiodic acid.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that a flue gas booster fan is installed inside the flue gas inlet. The booster fan is used to increase the flue gas pressure to overcome the resistance of the packing layer and the demister layer.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that it also includes a water adding device and a flue gas discharge device. The water adding device is connected to the upper part of the demister layer through an atomizing nozzle, and the flue gas discharge device is installed at the top of the absorption tower. The flue gas discharge device can detect the sulfur dioxide and iodine content.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that it also includes a slurry collection tank, an iodine absorption layer, a slurry circulation pump, and an iodine addition device. The top of the slurry collection tank is connected to the bottom of the absorption tower. The iodine absorption layer is a fine-pore mesh and is installed on the upper part of the slurry collection tank, on which granular iodine is placed. The outlet of the iodine addition device is connected to the inlet of the iodine absorption layer to provide granular iodine to the iodine absorption layer. The inlet of the slurry circulation pump is connected to the first outlet of the slurry collection tank, and the outlet of the slurry circulation pump is connected between the packing layer and the demister layer through an atomizing nozzle.

[0014] A further improvement of the present invention is that the first outlet of the slurry collection tank is located at its lower part and near the bottom.

[0015] A further improvement of the present invention is that the diameter of the slurry collection tank is smaller than that of the absorption tower, and the amount of slurry that can be stored inside matches the flow rate of the slurry circulation pump, which can meet the normal operation of the slurry circulation pump.

[0016] A further improvement of the present invention is that an absorption tower is equipped with multiple slurry collection tanks, and by switching the slurry collection tanks, the absorption and static stratification of sulfur dioxide can be carried out continuously.

[0017] A further improvement of the present invention is that it also includes a hydrogen iodide solution collection tank, a mixed liquid collection tank, and a sulfuric acid collection tank. The second outlet of the slurry collection tank is located at its bottom and is divided into three streams: the first stream is connected to the inlet of the hydrogen iodide solution collection tank, the second stream is connected to the inlet of the mixed liquid collection tank, and the third stream is connected to the inlet of the sulfuric acid collection tank.

[0018] The present invention also provides a method for absorbing sulfur dioxide from boiler flue gas using iodine, the method being based on the aforementioned apparatus for absorbing sulfur dioxide from boiler flue gas using iodine, comprising:

[0019] Granular iodine is added to the iodine absorption layer using an iodine-adding device;

[0020] Demineralized water is added to the absorption tower through a water adding device. The added demineralized water passes through the demister layer and the packing layer and gathers at the bottom of the absorption tower before flowing into the slurry collection tank. It then passes through the iodine absorption layer and enters the slurry collection tank.

[0021] Once the slurry collection tank reaches the high level, the slurry circulation pump is started to establish slurry circulation. During this process, a small amount of iodine in the iodine absorption layer dissolves.

[0022] Once the slurry circulation pump is running normally and the slurry collection tank level is normal, stop injecting water into the absorption tower.

[0023] Sulfur dioxide-containing flue gas is introduced into the absorption tower through the flue gas inlet, and the flue gas passes through the packing layer and the demister layer before entering the flue gas discharge device.

[0024] When sulfur dioxide in flue gas comes into contact with the mist slurry, it dissolves into water. The water that has absorbed sulfur dioxide passes through the iodine absorption layer and reacts with iodine to produce sulfuric acid and hydroiodic acid.

[0025] As the amount of hydroiodic acid in the slurry increases, the solubility of iodine increases, and the slurry's ability to absorb sulfur dioxide is enhanced. Most of the sulfur dioxide in the flue gas is absorbed. By adjusting the flue gas volume and the circulation volume of the slurry circulation pump, the sulfur dioxide detected by the flue gas discharge device gradually decreases until it meets environmental protection requirements.

[0026] Iodine is replenished to the iodine absorption layer in a timely manner through an iodine-adding device;

[0027] As the circulation absorption proceeds, the density of the slurry in the slurry collection tank increases. When the slurry density reaches or exceeds the set value, the flue gas supply is stopped, and the slurry circulation pump is stopped.

[0028] The slurry in the absorption tower is collected in the slurry collection tank and left to stand until the slurry is clearly separated into layers, with the upper layer being a sulfuric acid solution layer and the lower layer being a mixture of hydroiodic acid and iodine.

[0029] The hydroiodic acid and iodine mixture at the bottom of the slurry collection tank is discharged into the hydrogen iodide solution collection tank;

[0030] The portion of the hydroiodic acid and iodine mixture in contact with the sulfuric acid layer in the middle of the slurry collection tank is discharged into the mixture collection tank;

[0031] Discharge the sulfuric acid solution from the top of the slurry collection tank into the sulfuric acid collection tank;

[0032] The mixed solution in the mixed solution collection tank is added to the slurry collection tank through the iodine addition device, and water is added to the slurry collection tank to the normal water level through the water addition device to start the next absorption.

[0033] A further improvement of the present invention is that the slurry density is set to 2.5 kg / L.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0035] The present invention provides a device for absorbing sulfur dioxide in boiler flue gas using iodine, comprising a flue gas inlet, an absorption tower, a packing layer, and a demister layer; flue gas containing sulfur dioxide can be introduced into the absorption tower through the flue gas inlet, and the flue gas is discharged after passing through the packing layer and the demister layer in sequence.

[0036] Furthermore, the flue gas inlet of the present invention is equipped with a flue gas booster fan, which can increase the flue gas pressure and thus overcome the resistance of the packing layer and the demister layer.

[0037] The present invention provides an apparatus for absorbing sulfur dioxide in boiler flue gas using iodine, which further includes a water adding device and a flue gas discharge device. The water adding device can add demineralized water to the absorption tower. The added demineralized water passes through the demister layer and the packing layer and gathers at the bottom of the absorption tower. The flue gas passes through the packing layer and the demister layer and enters the flue gas discharge device. The flue gas discharge device can detect the sulfur dioxide content in the discharged flue gas.

[0038] This invention provides an apparatus for absorbing sulfur dioxide from boiler flue gas using iodine. The apparatus includes a slurry collection tank, an iodine absorption layer, a slurry circulation pump, and an iodine dosing device. The added demineralized water passes through a demister and packing layer, converges at the bottom of the absorption tower, and then flows into the slurry collection tank. It passes through the iodine absorption layer and enters the slurry collection tank, with volatile iodine placed within it to prevent direct contact between iodine and hot flue gas, thus reducing iodine volatilization and escape. The slurry circulation pump circulates the slurry, which passes through the iodine layer formed by iodine particles, reducing the amount of iodine used while ensuring absorption efficiency. The iodine dosing device allows for timely addition of granular iodine to the iodine absorption layer.

[0039] Furthermore, the diameter of the slurry collection tank of the present invention is smaller than that of the absorption tower, and the amount of slurry required to maintain the liquid level of the slurry circulation pump is much smaller than that of a conventional absorption tower, thus greatly reducing the consumption of iodine.

[0040] Furthermore, the present invention configures multiple slurry collection tanks for an absorption tower, and the absorption and static stratification of sulfur dioxide can be continuously carried out by switching the slurry collection tanks.

[0041] The present invention provides an apparatus for absorbing sulfur dioxide from boiler flue gas using iodine, which further includes a hydrogen iodide solution collection tank, a mixed liquid collection tank, and a sulfuric acid collection tank. The hydrogen iodide solution collection tank collects the hydroiodic acid and iodine mixture at the bottom of the slurry collection tank, the mixed liquid collection tank collects the portion of the hydroiodic acid and iodine mixture in contact with the sulfuric acid layer in the middle of the slurry collection tank, and the sulfuric acid collection tank collects the sulfuric acid solution at the top of the slurry collection tank.

[0042] This invention provides a method for absorbing sulfur dioxide from boiler flue gas using iodine. Sulfur dioxide-containing flue gas is introduced into the absorption tower through the flue gas inlet, and then discharged after passing through a packing layer and a demister layer. A water supply device can add demineralized water to the absorption tower. The added demineralized water passes through the demister layer and the packing layer and converges at the bottom of the absorption tower. The flue gas then passes through the packing layer and the demister layer and enters the flue gas discharge device, which monitors the sulfur dioxide content in the discharged flue gas in real time. Placing volatile iodine in a slurry collection tank avoids direct contact between iodine and hot flue gas, reducing iodine volatilization and escape. A slurry circulation pump circulates the slurry, which passes through the iodine layer formed by iodine particles during circulation, reducing the amount of iodine used while ensuring absorption efficiency.

[0059] Example 5

[0060] This invention provides a method for absorbing sulfur dioxide from boiler flue gas using iodine. The method is based on a system for absorbing sulfur dioxide from boiler flue gas using iodine, as shown in Figure 1. This system includes a flue gas inlet 1, an absorption tower 2, a packing layer 3, a demister layer 4, a water addition device 5, a flue gas discharge device 6, a slurry collection tank 7, an iodine absorption layer 8, a slurry circulation pump 9, an iodine addition device 10, a hydrogen iodide solution collection tank 11, a mixed liquid collection tank 12, and a sulfuric acid collection tank 13. The outlet of the flue gas inlet 1 is connected to the inlet of the absorption tower 2. The packing layer 3 and the demister layer 4 are installed sequentially from bottom to top in the upper part of the absorption tower 2. The absorption tower 2 can detect sulfur dioxide, and the packing layer 3 and the demister layer 4 can resist the corrosion of sulfuric acid and hydroiodic acid. The water adding device 5 is connected to the upper part of the demister layer 4 through an atomizing nozzle. The flue gas exhaust device 6 is installed at the top of the absorption tower 2. The flue gas exhaust device 6 can detect sulfur dioxide and iodine content. The top of the slurry collection tank 7 is connected to the bottom of the absorption tower 2. The iodine absorption layer 8 is a fine-pore mesh and is installed on the upper part of the slurry collection tank 7. Granular iodine is placed on top of it. The outlet of the iodine addition device 10 is connected to the inlet of the iodine absorption layer 8 to provide granular iodine to the iodine absorption layer 8. The inlet of the slurry circulation pump 9 is connected to the first outlet of the slurry collection tank 7. The outlet of the slurry circulation pump 9 is connected between the packing layer 3 and the demisting layer 4 through an atomizing nozzle. The second outlet of the slurry collection tank 7 is at its bottom and is divided into three streams. The first stream is connected to the inlet of the hydrogen iodide solution collection tank 11, the second stream is connected to the inlet of the mixed liquid collection tank 12, and the third stream is connected to the inlet of the sulfuric acid collection tank 13.

[0061] The method includes:

[0062] Granular iodine is added to the iodine absorption layer 8 through the iodine addition device 10;

[0063] Demineralized water is added to the absorption tower 2 through the water adding device 5. The added demineralized water flows into the slurry collection tank 7 after passing through the demisting layer 4 and the packing layer 3 and converging at the bottom of the absorption tower 2. It then passes through the iodine absorption layer 8 and enters the slurry collection tank 7.

[0064] When the slurry collection tank 7 reaches the high liquid level, the slurry circulation pump 9 is started to establish slurry circulation. During this process, a small amount of iodine in the iodine absorption layer 8 dissolves.

[0065] Once the slurry circulation pump is running normally and the liquid level in the slurry collection tank 7 is normal, stop injecting water into the absorption tower 2.

[0066] Sulfur dioxide-containing flue gas is introduced into the absorption tower 2 through the flue gas inlet 1. The flue gas passes through the packing layer 3 and the demister layer 4 and enters the flue gas discharge device 6.

[0067] When sulfur dioxide in flue gas comes into contact with the mist slurry, it dissolves into water. The water that has absorbed sulfur dioxide passes through the iodine absorption layer 8 and reacts chemically with iodine to produce sulfuric acid and hydroiodic acid.

[0068] As the amount of hydroiodic acid in the slurry increases, the dissolution of iodine increases, and the slurry's ability to absorb sulfur dioxide is enhanced. Most of the sulfur dioxide in the flue gas is absorbed. By adjusting the flue gas volume and the circulation volume of the slurry circulation pump, the sulfur dioxide detected by the flue gas discharge device 6 gradually decreases until it meets environmental protection requirements.

[0069] Iodine is replenished to the iodine absorption layer 8 in a timely manner through the iodine addition device 10;

[0070] As the circulation absorption proceeds, the density of the slurry in the slurry collection tank 7 increases. When the slurry density reaches 2.5 kg / L or higher, the flue gas is stopped and the slurry circulation pump 9 is stopped.

[0071] The slurry in the absorption tower 2 is collected in the slurry collection tank 7 and left to stand until the slurry is clearly separated into layers, with the upper layer being a sulfuric acid solution layer and the lower layer being a mixture of hydroiodic acid and iodine.

[0072] The hydroiodic acid and iodine mixture at the bottom of the slurry collection tank 7 is discharged into the hydrogen iodide solution collection tank 11;

[0073] The portion of the hydroiodic acid and iodine mixture in contact with the sulfuric acid layer in the middle of the slurry collection tank 7 is discharged into the mixture collection tank 12;

[0074] The sulfuric acid solution in the upper part of the slurry collection tank 7 is discharged into the sulfuric acid collection tank 13;

[0075] The mixed solution in the mixed solution collection tank 12 is added to the slurry collection tank 7 through the iodine addition device, and water is added to the slurry collection tank 7 through the water addition device 5 to bring it to the normal water level before the next absorption begins.

[0076] Example 6

[0077] As shown in Figure 1, in this embodiment, an absorption tower 2 with a diameter of 2 meters is used. To maintain the normal operation of the slurry circulation pump, a liquid level of 1 meter must be maintained, requiring a slurry volume of approximately 3 m³. 3 Absorption and settling separation cannot be achieved simultaneously, making continuous production impossible.

[0078] Using the method of this invention, the absorption tower 2 has a diameter of 2 meters, and two slurry absorption tanks 7, each with a diameter of 0.5 meters, are used. The slurry level is 1 meter, and the required slurry volume for a single absorption tank is approximately 0.2 m³. 3 The amount of iodine used in a single absorption tank is 7% of the normal usage, but this does not affect the normal operation of the slurry circulation pump 9. Two slurry absorption tanks 7 are set up, one for absorption and one for settling and separation, enabling continuous production.

[0079] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
