Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of the waste gas removal of mercury of environmental protection technical field, specifically is a kind of method to preparing exhaust gas mercury-removing reagent from modification of waste desulfurizing agent.
Background technology
As everyone knows, mercury belongs to noxious material, because mercury has the characteristic of cumulative effect and difficult degradation in vivo, makes the mercury pollution problem obtain attention more and more.Mercury in the atmosphere mainly comes from the discharging in coal-fired and the waste incineration process.Simultaneously because the application of mercury in industry is very extensive; In each production process such as metallurgy, electronics, light industry, chemical industry, all there is mercury vapour to discharge with mercury and system mercury; Environment is caused great harm; Therefore, reinforcement is extremely important to the control of mercury pollution in fire coal, waste incineration and the industrial processes.
Mercury in the mercurous waste gas is mainly with particle mercury (Hg
p), gaseous state divalence mercury (Hg
2+) and gaseous state nonvalent mercury (Hg
0) three kinds of forms exist.Particle mercury generally can be removed by dust arrester; Gaseous state divalence mercury (vapor form with mercury compound exists mostly) is prone to adsorbed by most of adsorbent; And nonvalent mercury utilizes conventional adsorbent to carry out the place to go very much.There is research attempt to use catalytic oxidation,, and then the mercury of oxidation state removed from waste gas with absorption method or absorption process with the nonvalent mercury initial oxidation.Yet these methods all are that the mercury in the waste gas is directly transferred in adsorbent or the absorbent solution, do not consider security and the stability of mercury in these materials.In fact, the above-mentioned mercury major part of getting off that captures is that form with the solubility mercury salt exists, and is easy to leached by rainwater cause secondary pollution.Mercury absorption material commonly used is generally active carbon, just possesses the adsorption capacity to nonvalent mercury but active carbon must pass through suitable modification, and utilizing sulphur that active carbon is carried out modification is to improve a kind of approach that active carbon is inhaled the mercury ability.But this type material remains in weak point in practical application at present.At first, because the exhaust gas volumn that produced is very big in the coal-fired process, and sorbing material all is disposable (not reclaiming), and the loss of sorbing material is bigger, and the price of active carbon own is higher, causes operating cost higher; Secondly, the processing more complicated of load sulphur on active carbon, and also it is still undesirable to the adsorption effect of nonvalent mercury in the flue gas to be loaded with the active carbon of sulphur.Therefore, directly utilize fresh active carbon to be the raw material production demercuration adsorbent, its cost is higher, and needs special the processing.Therefore, if can seek cheap proper raw material prepares mercury absorbent, then has good practical significance.
In recent years, along with the popularization gradually of the technology of China's coal gasification, the waste desulfurizer that in the coal gas desulfurization process, is produced is more and more.At present, the numerous desulfurizing agent of domestic and international application can be divided into by system: Fe-series desulfurizing agent, activated carbon desulphurization agent, aluminium fimily desulfurizing agent, zinc fimily desulfurizing agent and molecular sieve desulfurizer.This type desulfurizing agent generally is to be raw material with the active carbon, processes through some transition metal oxides of load.In use, the hydrogen sulfide major part that is adsorbed onto on the desulfurizing agent can be converted into sulphur, and also some can be converted into the sulfide of transition metal.Because this type desulfurizing agent is difficult to regeneration, after saturated after its inefficacy, be difficult to regeneration, therefore, this type desulfurizing agent just is used as dangerous waste product basically and has been disposed after using, and this has not only wasted ample resources, and disposal cost is also very high.Yet, if can utilize these desulfurizing agents of using to have very large meaning as the feedstock production mercury-removing adsorbent.The cost that so both can save material can effectively utilize the discarded desulfurizing agent of sulfur-bearing again, reaches function of processing waste with waste.Yet although contain abundant sulphur and transition metal in the discarded desulfurizing agent, the reaction speed between itself and nonvalent mercury is slower, is difficult to satisfy the specific (special) requirements of fume mercury-removing agent.Therefore, need carry out suitable modification to waste desulfurizer and handle, just can make it absorption of efficient high-speed ground transform nonvalent mercury.
Utilize halogen that waste desulfurizer is carried out chemical modification; Make it form new compound on the waste desulfurizer surface; It is sulfo-halogen compound; Add the acting in conjunction of transient metal sulfide, can accelerate greatly nonvalent mercury in the flue gas is removed speed, and can also be converted into stable mercuric sulphide to the mercury that captures.Therefore, if can handle through waste desulfurizer being carried out suitable modification, the more expensive fume mercury-removing adsorbent of preparation price not only can rationally solve the handling problem of waste desulfurizer, but also reach the comprehensive utilization of resources effect of the treatment of wastes with processes of wastes against one another.New through looking into, the relevant at present method that modification prepares mercury-removing reagent to waste desulfurizer is not appeared in the newspapers as yet.
