Description

Higher concentration COS low temperature removal methods in gas
Technical field
The present invention relates to process for desulfurizing gas, and in particular to higher concentration COS low temperature removal methods in a kind of gas.
Background technology
In chemical process, there are many gases to contain H2S, COS sulfides, are typically first used when sulfide quantity is larger MDEA methods, low-temp methanol the method such as wash and separate most of sulfide, then by suitable recovery technology of sulfur at Reason;But when tolerance is smaller, the technique of this first separation and concentration, again sulphur recovery, just because flow is complicated, investment is big, operation control System is cumbersome and is difficult to apply.
When tolerance is not very big, H2It is general that COS is hydrolyzed to by H using low temperature tempreture organic sulphur hydrolysis agent when S, COS concentration are relatively low2S, Elemental sulfur adsorbing and removing is converted into by oxidation desulfurizing agent again.The operating condition of COS low temperature hydrolysis agent is generally -80 DEG C of normal temperature, The higher hydrolysing activity of typical temperature is higher, such as 50-70 DEG C, but sulfation can occur for more than 80 DEG C of temperature, cause water-disintegrable It can decline and the lost of life.
H2S oxidation sweetening, using wide, advantage is that operation temperature is low, to H2S concentration levels and flowed fluctuation it is suitable Ying Xingqiang, be usually and the SO contained by process gas2、O2Reaction is converted into elemental sulfur and adsorbs, is deposited on the endoporus or table of desulfurizing agent Face, can be by H2S is handled to below 1ug/L, sulfur capacity general more than 20%, or even more than 30% or higher.
As COS or H2S concentration is higher, and such as COS concentration is higher than 500ug/L or H2When S concentration is higher than 1000ug/L, low temperature has COS hydrolysis in machine sulphur hydrolytic reagent can be suppressed, and percent hydrolysis is difficult to be maintained at more than 90%, is less susceptible to be maintained at more than 95%. The desulfurizing agent of inversion absorption type can also handle this gas in a short time, but Sulfur capacity is relatively low or time of break-through is shorter, and Often reproducibility is bad.
Some process gas, the CO gas such as produced by coke, carbon dioxide and oxygen in Gas-making Furnace, coke is high with calcium oxide Temperature prepares the calcium carbide furnace gas of calcium carbide, and yellow phosphorus electric furnace tail gas, CO contents are high, and most of sulphur exists in COS forms, and concentration is more In more than 1000ug/L, or even more than 2000ug/L, the percent hydrolysis using COS during low temperature tempreture organic sulphur hydrolysis agent is not high enough, and COS takes off Except rate is difficult to be maintained at more than 90%, it is less susceptible to be maintained at more than 95%, residual concentration is still higher;But according to middle temperature, high temperature Hydrolytic reagent and condition, expense are again relatively higher;Because tolerance is smaller, sulfide quantity very little, the side of first separation and concentration sulphur recovery again Method is not applied to yet.The initial pressure of this kind of gas is often normal pressure or low pressure, if not removing big portion first under normal pressure, lower pressure Point sulfide, then sulfide leakage is more in follow-up pressurization and separation process, and environmental odors are larger, to equipment and compressor Corrosion is also heavier, thus should remove COS as much as possible in normal pressure, periods of low pressure, by H2S tries one's best whole removings.
Thus, it is necessary to develop the low temperature removing gas that a kind of COS removal efficiencies are easily maintained at more than more than 90%, or even 95% Middle higher concentration COS method.
The content of the invention
In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the low temperature removal methods of higher concentration COS in gas a kind of, COS Removal efficiency is easily maintained at more than more than 90%, or even 95%, is mainly included:Process gas maintains or is heated to 30-80 DEG C, and water inlet is freed The processing of sulphur tower;Loaded in mixture in desulfurizing tower or lamination filling COS hydrolytic reagents and H2S oxidation desulfurizing agents, the COS hydrolytic reagents are by COS bases Originally it is hydrolyzed to H2S, the oxidation desulfurizing agent hydrolyzes COS the H of generation2H contained by S and process gas2S, with the SO contained by process gas2、 O2Reaction is converted into elemental sulfur absorption, is deposited in the endoporus of desulfurizing agent or surface;The H2S oxidation desulfurizing agents can be in 200-300 Carry out blowing sulphur hot recycling under DEG C temperature conditionss, by by the elemental sulfur for adsorbing, deposit fusing, gasification finish and recover substantially de- Sulphur performance, COS hydrolytic reagents hydraulic performance decline after the desulfurizing agent hot recycling process of 200-300 DEG C of temperature conditionss is less or basic Do not reduce;
Wherein, the hydrolysis desulfurizing tower sets two or more, can connection in series-parallel use, specially vertical pipes heat supply regeneration is de- Sulphur tower, if between the vertical pipes of sufficient amount and heat exchange area, sleeve pipe being hydrolytic reagent-desulfurizing agent bed;COS percent hydrolysis drops to Setting and/or sulfur content of working off one's feeling vent one's spleen, which are risen to after setting, to be cut out, and thermal source is passed through into sleeve pipe and improves hydrolytic reagent-desulfurizing agent bed Layer temperature carries out hot recycling;The vertical pipes heat supply regenerative sulfur binding tower includes hydrolytic reagent-desulfurizing agent bed and process gas is passed in and out Passage and interface, hydrolytic reagent-desulfurizing agent construct for handling, top has set distribution and upper and lower two of collection heating medium effect add Thermal medium room;Vertical pipes are formed by inner and outer tubes nesting, and inner tube upper end open is in upper chamber bottom plate, and outer tube upper end open is under Room bottom plate;Sleeve pipe extends down into hydrolytic reagent-desulfurizing agent bed, until under the bottom of hydrolytic reagent-desulfurizing agent bed, outer tube End closure, inner tube lower end extends on the sealing end of outer tube and is open;Melted during hot recycling, gasify the elemental sulfur flowed out Collected through regenerating condenser;Hydrolyze after the completion of desulfurizing tower hot recycling, change in natural cooling cooling or sleeve pipe after cooling medium cooling Standby or incision comes into operation.
In gas of the present invention in higher concentration COS low temperature removal methods, the COS hydrolytic reagents can use common a variety of boards Number commodity, macropore gama-alumina is typically carried on by alkali metal, the alkali of alkaline-earth metal or carbonate or activated carbon is made, lead to Often through steam ageing and/or calcination process, but concrete operations condition need with reference to the performance of hydrolytic reagent and the specific of process gas into Point as moisture situations such as determine, such as to consider because moisture in hydrolytic reagent endoporus excessive adsorption or condense caused by hydrolysis Hydraulic performance decline, typically reduces this influence by properly increasing operation temperature.COS hydrolytic reagents primarily serve hydrolysis in the present invention COS effect, generation is loaded in mixture with it or lamination filling oxidation desulfurizing agent can largely adsorb the H of conversion2S.The H2S oxidations are de- Sulphur agent can use the commodity of common a variety of trades mark, generally by macropore activated carbon supported Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Co and/or alkali metal The compositions such as oxide are modified and are made;It is that will hydrolyze the H generated that it, which is acted on,2H contained by S and process gas2S, with the SO contained by process gas2、 O2Reaction be converted into elemental sulfur absorption, be deposited in the endoporus of desulfurizing agent or surface and remove, typically can be by H21ug/L is arrived in S processing Hereinafter, sulfur capacity general more than 20%, or even more than 30% or higher.Due to the COS hydrolytic reagents, H2S oxidation desulfurizing agents intolerant to Acid, if containing HCl, HCN, NOx, SO in gas3Deng Acid constituents, should first it remove.
In gas of the present invention in higher concentration COS low temperature removal methods, the operating condition of hydrolysis desulfurizing tower mainly considers The performance of hydrolytic reagent is played, because the difficulty of COS hydrolysis is higher than H2The difficulty of S oxidation generation elemental sulfurs;COS hydrolytic reagents, H2S oxygen Change loading in mixture or lamination type of feed for desulfurizing agent, under the material condition of the higher COS concentration of the present invention, bed is reduced on the whole Middle H2S concentration, especially in outlet section H2S concentration falls below extremely low level, so as to improve COS percent hydrolysis, and extends Life-span of hydrolytic reagent;Wherein the effect of mixed packing is loaded better than lamination, and water can be improved by being mixed before being loaded to desulfurizing tower The degree of mixedness in agent-desulfurizing agent bed is solved, it is better when shape and size are same or like.Hot recycling is to maintaining, extension The performance of hydrolytic reagent and life-span, also play very crucial effect.The embodiment of the present invention is under the conditions of COS 0.16%, hydrolysis Agent, desulphurizer mixing filling are easily guaranteed that more than 90% or even more than 95% COS percent hydrolysis, and the long period can be maintained by regeneration Hydrolysis desulfurization operations;And percent hydrolysis when individually hydrolyzing is lower slightly, and hydrolysis ability decline is larger after the same operating time.
In gas of the present invention in higher concentration COS low temperature removal methods, hydrolysis desulfurizing tower most time carries out desulfurization fortune Turn, hydrolytic reagent-desulfurizing agent bed uses 30-80 DEG C of relatively low operating temperature, and process gas flow can be edge to according to bed structure The upper entering and lower leaving or bottom in and top out in casing axis direction, or the right side goes out, the right side is entered a left side and gone out to enter perpendicular to the left side in casing axis direction Or from outer rim to center, from center to outer rim, it is vertical in desulfurization operation process usually along the upper entering and lower leaving in casing axis direction Sleeve pipe does not play a part of to heat or cooled, and medium does not flow substantially in sleeve pipe.Desulfurizing tower cut out after penetrating carry out hot recycling when Between it is shorter, the scattered sleeve pipes that flow into upper and lower two heating dielectric chamber of the heating medium through tower top simultaneously flow back to another room, by Gradually bed is heated;Heated during hot recycling in vertical pipes in the flow direction of medium, its outer tube to be from top to bottom or on the contrary, interior From bottom to top or on the contrary, typically using the flow direction in inner tube from top to bottom, in outer tube from bottom to top in pipe, make on the whole bed from Lower and upper heating.Medium is heated used in the process of hot recycling can be hot blast, superheated steam, conduction oil, hot blast, superheated steam Benefit is to be easier to change cold wind, cold water cooling into after the completion of regenerating.Steamed with the indifferent gas using same 200-300 DEG C of temperature, overheat The method that vapour directly purges hydrolytic reagent-desulfurizing agent bed is compared, thermal regeneration method indirectly heat hydrolytic reagent-desulfurizing agent of the invention Bed, the influence to hydrolytic reagent, desulfurizing agent performance is smaller;Compared with coil pipe mode of heating, vertical pipes heat supply regeneration of the present invention Hydrolytic reagent that desulfurizing tower is loaded, desulfurizing agent are easier after hot recycling to draw off when scrapping.
In gas of the present invention in higher concentration COS low temperature removal methods, hydrolysis desulfurizing tower regenerative process in or wherein after Phase, hydrolytic reagent-desulfurizing agent bed can introduce indifferent gas such as N2、CO2, CO make purge gass, to reduce in bed elemental sulfur and other Material such as CS2, mercaptan, thioether, the partial pressure of the organic sulfur such as thiophene and heavy hydrocarbon such as tar, so as to reach higher blowing or desorption Rate, more preferably recovers desulfurizing agent, the Sulfur capacity or hydrolysis property of hydrolytic reagent, or can suitably reduce hot regeneration temperature;It is preferred to use Line operating hydrolysis desulfurizing tower work off one's feeling vent one's spleen or high temperature furnace reactor feed gas such as CO Gas-making Furnaces CO2Unstripped gas as hydrolytic reagent- The hot recycling purge gass of desulfurizing agent bed, nothing after being to be easy to get and regenerate nearby in the advantage worked off one's feeling vent one's spleen of line operating hydrolysis desulfurizing tower Need displacement, the CO of the reactor feed gas such as CO Gas-making Furnaces of high temperature furnace2The advantage of unstripped gas is that regeneration condenser tail gas can return gas making Stove continues to serve as reactor feed gas.Sulphur hot recycling is blown by what is carried out under 200-300 DEG C of temperature conditionss, by H2S oxidation sweetenings Elemental sulfur and a small amount of other materials such as CS that agent is adsorbed, deposited2, mercaptan, thioether, organic sulfur and the heavy hydrocarbon such as tar such as thiophene Fusing, gasification finish, and recover it substantially and aoxidize H2S generates the performance of elemental sulfur;Also by hydrolytic reagent table during desulfurizing agent hot recycling Generated in face or endoporus, absorption, deposition elemental sulfur and other materials such as CS2, mercaptan, thioether, the organic sulfur such as thiophene and again Matter hydrocarbon such as tar is desorbed, blows down and recover its hydrolysis property.Regeneration condenser tail gas contains COS, CS of a small amount of thermal desorption2, sulphur The heavy hydrocarbon such as the organic sulfurs such as alcohol, thioether, thiophene and tar, can go torch to burn up, or go the boiler with desulfurizer to burn. Using high temperature furnace unstripped gas as hydrolysis desulfurizing tower hydrolytic reagent-desulfurizing agent bed hot recycling purge gass when, can return high temperature furnace after It is continuous to be used as reactor feed gas.If there is low-pressure steam supply, available for the heating at hot recycling initial stage, desulfurizing tower is included desulfurizing agent bed Layer including be heated to 100 DEG C or so it is more convenient.Hydrolysis desulfurizing tower is down to regulation with multiple hot recycling performance by long-term use will After asking, hot recycling can be carried out by cutting out before unloading agent, and elemental sulfur desulfurizing agent, hydrolytic reagent are adsorbed, deposited and other materials are such as CS2, mercaptan, thioether, the organic sulfur such as thiophene and heavy hydrocarbon such as tar fusing, gasification, desorption, blow down, unload agent after cooling.Unload agent Journey convenience, safety, health, free from extraneous odour, draw off useless agent without elemental sulfur, COS, CS2, mercaptan, thioether, the organic sulfur such as thiophene and again Matter hydrocarbon, free from extraneous odour is safer, is also easily processed.
