Fluorine absorption system for wet-process phosphoric acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of purification equipment, in particular to a fluorine absorption system for wet-process phosphoric acid.
Background
Phosphoric acid is produced industrially in two ways, wet-process phosphoric acid and hot-process phosphoric acid. The wet-process phosphoric acid is mainly prepared by extracting and reacting strong acid (mainly sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid in a few processes) with phosphate ore and filtering, the hot-process phosphoric acid is prepared by taking yellow phosphorus as a raw material and performing oxidation, hydration and other reactions, the purity of the phosphoric acid prepared by the hot-process is higher, but the energy consumption is higher, the phosphoric acid is mainly a raw material for producing products with high added values and high purity, the wet-process phosphoric acid has certain impurity content and relatively low cost, is mainly used for producing phosphate fertilizers and the like, and can also replace part of the hot-process phosphoric acid to become a raw material of a middle-end phosphorus product after the wet-process phosphoric acid purification technology is greatly developed in recent years. The main product monoammonium phosphate of our company is produced by using wet-process phosphoric acid as a raw material.
The main production raw materials of wet-process phosphoric acid of our company are phosphate ore and sulfuric acid, the amount of phosphate ore resources in China is about 168 hundred million tons, 2-4% of fluorine resources are associated on average, about 7-8% of fluorine is released in a gas (mainly existing in the form of SiF4 and HF) form in the process of extracting phosphoric acid, because the fluorine-containing gas has great harm to human bodies and natural environment, the process is usually matched with a washing and absorbing device, fluorine-containing tail gas is absorbed by water to generate fluosilicic acid for recovery, and w (H) is obtained2SiF6) 8% -18%, and the system consisting of the device and inlet and outlet water is called a wet-process fluorine phosphate absorption system. The system has the main functions of treating fluorine gas generated in the phosphoric acid extraction reaction process, enabling the fluorine gas to reach the discharge standard and simultaneously balancing inlet and outlet water and upstream and downstream water. In the process of fluorine absorptionThe main chemical reaction equation is:
3SiF4+(n+2)H2O→2H2SiF6+SiO2·nH2O↓
SiO2+4HF=SiF4(gas) +2H2O
When HF is excessive, SiO2+6HF=H2SiF6+2H2O
SiF at higher temperature of the extraction system4The larger the amount escaped, the more silica gel precipitate formed. Both fluorine-containing gas and fluorine-containing liquid have strong corrosivity, silica gel precipitate can be generated when the fluorine-containing gas and the fluorine-containing liquid are absorbed by water, the silica gel precipitate is in a gel state or a soft fiber state and is blocked in a system, meanwhile, the fluorine-containing gas escaping from a reaction tank contains more or less extraction foam and slurry entrainment of the reaction tank under the general condition, mainly contains calcium, iron, aluminum and other ionic compounds, and precipitates together with silica gel, fluosilicic acid and the like to block a gas pipeline and a circulating liquid pipeline, so that the circulating amount is reduced, the absorption effect is reduced, great difficulty is brought to production operation, tail gas cannot stably reach the standard and is discharged, frequent stopping and cleaning are needed, the continuity of starting cannot be ensured, and finally, great environmental protection risk and economic benefit are brought. The national allowable emission standard of the total fluorine in the wet-process phosphoric acid tail gas is 9mg/m3。
When the automobile is originally driven, the original tail gas washing device can basically achieve the emission standard, but due to the problem of blockage, the tail gas discharged by a plurality of matched tail gas washing devices cannot achieve the national allowable total fluorine emission standard after the tail gas washing devices are operated for a period of time. The washing effect can be partially recovered by manually cleaning the blockage after the vehicle is stopped. The washing device has short running time and longer cleaning time, wastes time and labor, influences the driving rate and reduces the economic benefit. If the cleaning is not carried out, the exhaust emission exceeds the standard, the field operation environment is severe, the national regulation is violated, and the physical and mental health of workers is influenced, so that the improvement of the fluorine absorption exhaust washing system is urgent.
The gas fluorine is fluorine which is not washed and absorbed in the tail gas, and is the embodiment of the absorption efficiency of the system, and the dust fluorine is liquid drops, dust and the like such as silica gel sediment and the like carried out in the tail gas, on one hand, the embodiment of the blockage degree of the system is realized, and on the other hand, the embodiment of the defoaming effect of the system is realized. Therefore, the research contents of the subject are: improving the absorption efficiency of fluosilicic acid, reducing (or eliminating) silica gel precipitation in the system, reducing the generation of fog drops, improving the defoaming device and the like. The absorption efficiency of fluosilicic acid is influenced by the concentration, temperature and circulation amount (spray density) of fluosilicic acid washing liquid, and the lower the concentration and the lower the temperature, the higher the absorption efficiency. The generation of the fog drops is mainly related to the structure and the principle of the spray head, the pump lift and the like. From the washing mechanism, if the water quantity is enough, the tail gas is washed to reach the standard, no problem exists, but the water balance limitation is exactly, so the washing efficiency must be improved from multiple angles and multiple means, the tail gas is ensured to reach the standard and be discharged under the limited condition, and meanwhile, the operation period is prolonged as far as possible.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 1, the venturi scrubber 1 further comprises a finished fluorine water tank 15, and the venturi circulation tank 12 is communicated with the finished fluorine water tank 15; the primary washing device 2 further comprises a water replenishing tank 25, and the water replenishing tank 25 is communicated with the one-tower circulating tank 22.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 1, the pipe washing apparatus 3 further comprises a wastewater tank 34, an outlet of the wastewater tank 34 is communicated with an inlet of the pipe washing tower 33, and an inlet of the wastewater tank 34 is communicated with an outlet of the pipe washing circulation tank 32. The third spray mechanism 311 comprises a third spray pipe and a third vortex nozzle, the third spray pipe is multi-layer and multi-layer, the third spray pipe is provided with uniformly distributed third vortex nozzle which is located on the uppermost layer, and the third vortex nozzle is communicated with the outlet of the sewage tank 34. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
the third vortex shower nozzle is four layers of vortex shower nozzles, and lower three-layer shower nozzle supplies washing hydrologic cycle with a pump, and the last layer shower nozzle is supplied water by external effluent water sump pump, manages to wash lower side pipe washing circulation groove 32 and is constantly supplied water and constantly overflow by effluent water sump 34 and returns the effluent water sump through the trench. The sewage tank 34 mainly receives sewage and wastewater from other production lines in a company, and the sewage and wastewater are sent to a phosphoric acid production system for water flushing and the like, and the water is introduced into a washing system and is quickly discharged, so that the temperature of tail gas is mainly reduced, and the concentration of circulating liquid is reduced. The absorption efficiency of the fluosilicic acid is influenced by the concentration, the temperature, the circulation amount (spraying density), the vapor-liquid contact time and the like of the fluosilicic acid washing liquid, so that the absorption efficiency of the fluosilicic acid is further improved.
Preferably, the first spraying mechanism 111 includes a first spray pipe and a first spiral spray head, the first spray pipe is communicated with the first spiral spray head, and the spraying direction of the first spiral spray head is vertically downward. The second spraying mechanism comprises a second spraying pipe and a second vortex nozzle which are communicated. The fourth spraying mechanism comprises a fourth spraying pipe and a fourth vortex nozzle which are communicated with each other. And the fifth spraying mechanism comprises a fifth spray pipe and a fifth vortex spray head which are communicated.
The first spray mechanism 111 of the venturi uses a spiral spray head, and the second spray mechanism, the third spray mechanism, the fourth spray mechanism and the fifth spray mechanism of the rest towers are all vortex spray heads; spiral nozzle produces 3 ~ 5 vaporific locking lines of water, and what vortex nozzle produced is that the solid coniform water droplet of one deck seals the locking line, and the reason of changing the shower nozzle is the production that reduces water smoke, and the degree of difficulty of getting rid of water smoke is greater than the degree of difficulty of getting rid of the water droplet far away in the system, and the advantage of water smoke lies in better easier and gas contact, and area of contact is big, and absorption effect is good, but easy taking away by the air current, also unlike the water droplet to the seizure of particulate matter. The reason that the venturi nozzle uses the spiral nozzle is that the venturi nozzle is arranged at the forefront end of an absorption system and needs to absorb fluorine in the tail gas as much as possible, and meanwhile, 4-stage washing and three-stage defoaming are arranged at the back, so that water mist carrying-out is reduced as much as possible.
The third sprays mechanism, the fourth sprays mechanism, the fifth sprays the mechanism and all adopts a vortex shower nozzle, its reason lies in: originally, two layers of three spray heads are usually arranged, the aim of realizing the full coverage without dead angles in the tower is fulfilled by counting the coverage area, but in the actual effect, one 120m spray head is arranged3The pump/h is not enough to carry 6 spray nozzles in one tower, and the washing water is not sprayed, but the short-circuit place of the gas is increased, so that part of the gas is not washed. A spray head is arranged on one tower, and each spray head is provided with a pump so as to ensure the washing effect. Through the calculation of the tower height and the spray nozzle angle, a 120-degree spray nozzle is selected.
Preferably, the pump lift is noticed during use, and the high-lift pump is easy to make water into water mist, so the venturi washing pump 13, the first tower washing pump 23, the pipe washing pump 33, the second tower washing pump 43, the third tower washing pump 52 and the like are matched with pumps with proper lift, temporary pressure detection (inaccurate after blockage due to long-term installation) is installed at the pump outlet, the measurement is carried out periodically, and the pressure is kept at 0.2-0.25 MPa.

After the water path is adjusted, the effect of reducing the temperature and the concentration of the washing liquid is obvious. On the one hand, the temperature of the exhaust gas is reduced from 55-60 ℃ to below 40 ℃. A large amount of water vapor in the original gas is condensed, the phenomenon of water carried by the chimney is eliminated, and the gas amount of the chimney is reduced by nearly 2/3 in appearance.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
