Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to the master gas technical field, relate to specifically a kind of absorbent that removes sulfides in malodorous gases.
Background technology
Petroleum refining industry is the key industry that produces odor pollution, and the chemical reaction of complexity can produce a large amount of H in the petroleum refining process
2The odorants such as S, COS, mercaptan, thioether.These materials enter atmosphere in modes such as discharging, volatilization, leakages in production, transporting procedures, cause the pollution sources different odor pollution of degree on every side.In recent years, increasing enterprise begins the processing foreign sour crude.It is more outstanding that especially odor pollution problem of environmental pollution becomes.The surrounding environment of each oil plant all faces the trend that odor pollution increases the weight of day by day.
The method that removes these Stenchy sulfides is a lot, is divided into two kinds of dry desulfurization and wet desulphurizations.The method of wet desulphurization both at home and abroad mainly contains at present: anthraquinone disulphonate method (ADA), tannin extract method (TV method), phthalocyanine cobalt sulfonate method, Complexing Iron, amine method desulfurization etc.
Patent documentation CN1421264 discloses a kind of absorption liquid that removes sulfide from admixture of gas, and this absorption liquid comprises (1) main absorbent, is comprised of sterically hindered amines (I) and N methyldiethanol amine (II); (2) cosolvent (III).Adopt this absorption liquid, can be simultaneously with H
2S, COS, mercaptan, thioether sulfides remove.This absorption liquid is take organic amine as main body, and operating cost is expensive, and organic solvent amine itself is degraded easily, need to remove heat stable salt.
Patent documentation CN1384046 discloses a kind of desulfurizing tanning extract process, and this technique is squeezed into the solution circulation groove with alkaline tannin extract solution, and the self-loopa groove out enters splitting of system after the pressurization after filtration and takes off tower, the H in the absorption of gases
2S takes off tower solution out and enters to split and take off regenerator by splitting, the good solution of regeneration by tower bottom flow to the solution circulation groove, after filtration pressurized circulation use; Desulfuration solution is out delivered to become by filter-press from circulating slot and is taken off tower, the H in the absorption of gases
2S takes off tower solution out by change and enters change precipitation liquid regenerator, and the solution that regeneration is good takes off regenerator out by change, enters to become precipitation liquid circulating slot, and after filtration pressurization so recycles again.The method forms complexity for the foul gas of some cell arrangement discharging of petrochemical enterprise, contains the Various Complex organic matter, and hydrogen sulfide, organic sulfur content are all higher.Utilize existing desulfurizing agent and method, be difficult to effective desulfurization.
Patent documentation CN1887406 discloses a kind of H that removes from gaseous mixture
2The solvent of S, this solvent are that the organic amine that adds a kind of secondary amine and have space steric effect in take water or sulfolane as the N methyldiethanol amine solution of main body is as activator, in order to from containing or do not contain CO
2Mist in remove the method for hydrogen sulfide.The invention provides two groups of solution formulas: (1) is suitable for never containing in organic sulfur or the low organic sulfur compound gas and removes H
2The solution formula of S is: N methyldiethanol amine 30~50 % by weight, secondary amine 1~10 % by weight, sterically hindered amines 1~15 % by weight, and all the other components are water; (2) be suitable for from contain volatile sulfur gases, removing H
2The solution formula of S and part organic sulfur is: N methyldiethanol amine 30~40 % by weight, secondary amine 1~5 % by weight, sterically hindered amines 1~15 % by weight, water 5 % by weight, all the other components are sulfolane.This solvent is organic amine solvent, hydrogen sulfide and organic sulfur are all had preferably removal effect, but solvent cost is very high.
Summary of the invention
In order to solve the operating cost height that exists in the above-mentioned sulfur method, bad desulfurization effects, problem that solvent cost is high, the invention provides a kind of absorbent that can remove sulfides in malodorous gases.The sulfuric acid gases such as this absorbent energy absorbing hydrogen sulphide, mercaptan, thioether do not produce secondary pollution after the absorption, waste liquid is easily processed, and does not contain elemental sulfur in the product, has avoided reactor plugs.
The raw material of the absorbent that removes sulfides in malodorous gases provided by the invention form and content as follows:
(A) diluent 67~85 % by weight,
(B) strong inorganic base 10~30 % by weight,
(C) complex compound cosolvent 0.5~2 % by weight,
(D) catalyst 0.1~1 % by weight,
(E) oxidant 0.5~2 % by weight,
(F) strengthen absorbent 1~4 % by weight.
Above-mentioned raw materials mixed, reacts by following preparation method can make absorbent of the present invention:
(1) ratio according to each component in the raw material calculates the required weight of each component;
(2) add in the container first and should add 60%~80% of component (A) total amount, the component (C) that adds afterwards capacity, and be stirred to fully dissolving, then the component (B) that adds capacity, and be stirred to dissolving, dissolve, react in the adding container with the component (D) of capacity with (E) at last;
(3) all components adds component (F) after all dissolving and temperature are down to below 40 ℃ in container in container, replenishes simultaneously to add remaining component (A) and mix, and so far absorbent preparation is finished.
Wherein, described diluent (A) is pure water or running water, is used for diluting the active ingredient in the absorbent;
Described strong inorganic base (B) is NaOH or potassium hydroxide, preferred NaOH, and this component is main chemical absorbing component, and sulfide is sour gas, and most component all can react with highly basic;
Described complex compound cosolvent (C) is sodium salt (EDTA) or the sodium potassium tartrate tetrahydrate of ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid, or both mixtures, Main Function is complexing part metals ion, prevents that a small amount of ion from producing precipitation, shields some active metallic ion and participates in reaction;
Described catalyst (D) is 1,4-benzoquinone or tannin, plays catalytic action, itself can be oxidized by oxygen to be oxidizing substance, has the function of catching oxygen in the foul gas;
Described oxidant (E) is vanadic anhydride or sodium metavanadate, plays oxidation, and itself can be by the reduction of the sulfide in the foul gas, and the Low Valent Vanadium of producing simultaneously can be oxidized to the high price vanadium by oxygen and catalyst (D);
Described reinforcement absorbent (F) is monoethanolamine, and the process of absorbing hydrogen sulphide is the Physical Absorption process.
According to double-film theory, absorb resistance in the Physical Absorption process and comprise air film resistance and liquid-film resistance, the gas phase total absorption coefficient is:
In MODEL OF CHEMICAL ABSORPTION PROCESS, chemical reaction velocity has great impact to absorption process, divides according to chemical reaction velocity, and may there be three kinds of reactions in MODEL OF CHEMICAL ABSORPTION PROCESS: transient response, fast reaction and long response time.
Component among the present invention (B) absorbing hydrogen sulphide is irreversible chemical reaction at a slow speed, when component (B) when concentration ratio is higher, can be considered at a slow speed irreversible chemical reaction.The MODEL OF CHEMICAL ABSORPTION PROCESS resistance can be similar to Physical Absorption.But component (F) absorbing hydrogen sulphide is instantaneous reversible reaction, can greatly strengthen absorption process with component (F) solution absorption hydrogen sulfide.Component (F) boiling point substance is high, good stability, is difficult for decomposing.The reaction of component (F) absorbing hydrogen sulphide generates salt, and is with component (B) reaction, again born again.Like this, in component (B), add component (F), can in absorption process, play the effect of similar catalyst.
The principle that this absorbent absorbs oxidation of sulfureted hydrogen, mercaptan, thioether is as follows:
