The invention belongs to the field of inorganic fine powder materials, and particularly relates to a process for industrially producing aluminum trichloride.
Background
Aluminum trichloride is an important inorganic chemical, and industrial products of the aluminum trichloride contain green light yellow particles or powder, have the relative density of 2.44 grams per cubic centimeter (25 ℃), the apparent density of 1.23 grams per cubic centimeter, the melting point of 190 ℃ (0.25MPa), have strong water absorbability, are extremely easy to deliquesce, are easy to absorb water in exposed air to decompose to generate hydrogen chloride, are easy to explode when hydrolyzed by water or water vapor, and have strong corrosivity, and the aluminum trichloride is widely applied to the fields of petrochemical industry and the like.
Most of domestic aluminum trichloride production plants adopt an aluminum ingot melting method, namely, the aluminum ingot is heated and melted, is put into a chlorination reaction furnace to react with introduced chlorine, and is sublimated and condensed to prepare the aluminum trichloride. The reaction heat of 895.5KJ/mol is strong exothermic reaction when the aluminum ingot reacts with chlorine alone, the temperature in the chlorination furnace exceeds more than one thousand ℃, which greatly exceeds the optimized reaction temperature of the reaction of the aluminum ingot and the chlorine, and meanwhile, the temperature resistance of the chlorination furnace equipment is also a big problem. Due to the limitation, in the current industrial production, only a small chlorination furnace can be arranged to control the reaction heat release, the maximum capacity is only 1.2 tons/day through cooling and heat dissipation in the natural environment, the device is not large-scale, and the field operation environment is severe.
In a small part of domestic enterprises, an alumina method is adopted, aluminum oxide powder and petroleum coke are added into a roasting furnace according to a certain proportion for roasting, the roasted material reacts with introduced chlorine, and the product is prepared by purification, cooling and crystallization. Although the reaction of alumina, petroleum coke and chlorine is exothermic, it is not sufficient to maintain the reaction temperature and external heat supply is required. Therefore, a large amount of energy is consumed no matter charging preheating or reaction heating is carried out, the heating temperature generally reaches over 1000 ℃, the requirement on equipment is high, and the investment is large.
No matter which kind of above-mentioned technology, gaseous state aluminium trichloride is all mingled with raw materials, reactant and is got into the trap together, carries out the unloading through regularly knocking trap or crystallizer cooling, and gaseous state aluminium trichloride is caught together with impurity, and product quality does not guarantee. In view of the problems in the prior industrial production of aluminum trichloride, the invention provides a chlorination furnace with lower slag discharge, unreacted raw materials and large-particle impurities are discharged out of a system in time from the lower part of the chlorination furnace, and reaction gas passes through a cyclone dust collector to separate impurities carried by the gas or ultrafine particles of the unreacted raw materials and then enters a quencher so as to ensure that gaseous aluminum trichloride is relatively pure. Furthermore, the invention is provided with three sections of quenching and collecting devices which are connected in series, so that the aluminum trichloride of high-boiling-point substances and low-boiling-point substances carried in the gaseous aluminum trichloride is respectively collected, and the middle section quenching and collecting device obtains a high-purity aluminum trichloride product, thereby avoiding the problem that hydrochloric acid mist is generated due to the contact and moisture absorption of the anhydrous aluminum trichloride product and humid air, greatly improving the packaging environment of the aluminum trichloride product and ensuring that the product does not absorb moisture, and thus, the invention provides a new method for the process for industrially producing the aluminum trichloride.

a. preheating: heating a mixture of 150-170 parts by weight of reaction raw material alumina and 75-85 parts by weight of reaction raw material petroleum coke to 800-1000 ℃ through an electric induction heating furnace; the granularity of the alumina serving as the reaction raw material is 60-150 mu m, and the granularity of the petroleum coke is 100-150 mu m;
b. mono-chlorination: introducing chlorine gas, controlling the flow rate of the chlorine gas in a chlorination furnace to be 0.1-0.55 m/s, continuously feeding the hot mixture of the alumina and the petroleum coke heated to 800-1000 ℃ into the chlorination furnace, and carrying out fluidized reduction chlorination on the hot mixture and 320-340 parts by weight of reaction raw material chlorine gas which is uniformly distributed from the bottom of the chlorination furnace through a sieve plate;
c. combined chlorination: when the temperature of a shell of a chlorination furnace reaches 450 ℃, aluminum powder enters the chlorination furnace from different positions through three feeding ports and is put into the chlorination furnace for combined chlorination, meanwhile, the specific gravity of alumina and petroleum coke is correspondingly reduced, and finally, the combined chlorination is carried out at the reaction temperature of 800-850 ℃ under the conditions that the weight of 105-115 parts of alumina, 52-57 parts of petroleum coke, 320-340 parts of chlorine and 25-30 parts of aluminum powder in the chlorination furnace are controlled; the granularity of the aluminum powder serving as the reaction raw material is 3-5 mm;
d. heat balance: after the combined chlorination process is carried out, along with the gradual increase of aluminum powder input by the system, the heating power of the electric induction heating furnace is gradually reduced to maintain the reaction temperature in the chlorination furnace at 800-850 ℃, when the heat release quantity of the aluminum powder and the chlorine and the heat demand quantity for reduction of the aluminum oxide and the chlorine reach balance, the electric induction heating furnace stops heating, the DCS system controls the addition of each reaction raw material to simultaneously ensure the fluidized reaction state in the chlorination furnace and the heat balance and reaction temperature stability of the reaction system, and the whole process system stably operates;
e. three-stage countercurrent quenching and collection: after removing superfine powder impurities carried in gas by a reaction product gaseous aluminum trichloride through a cyclone separator, enabling the gaseous aluminum trichloride to enter three sections of quenching jackets connected in series to exchange heat with countercurrent cooling water, controlling different cooling temperatures of the quenching jackets, and hermetically collecting aluminum trichloride containing high-boiling-point substances, high-purity aluminum trichloride and aluminum trichloride containing low-boiling-point substances through three aluminum trichloride bins respectively, so that the classification of the products of the aluminum trichloride is facilitated, the problem that hydrochloric acid mist is generated due to the fact that anhydrous aluminum trichloride products are contacted with humid air to absorb moisture is avoided, the packaging environment of the aluminum trichloride products is greatly improved, and the aluminum trichloride products are guaranteed not to absorb moisture;
f. slag discharge and tail gas treatment: the slag in the chlorination furnace is discharged from the bottom of the chlorination furnace, the tail gas enters a three-stage spray absorption tower for absorption, aluminum trichloride or other impurities are removed through primary water washing respectively, the generated aluminum trichloride aqueous solution is sent to a polyaluminium chloride workshop, hydrochloric acid mist is absorbed through secondary water spraying, the generated hydrochloric acid is sent to the polyaluminium chloride workshop, and the tertiary alkali absorbs chlorine to generate sodium hypochlorite and then enters a sewage treatment plant for comprehensive treatment.
Furthermore, the electric induction heating furnace is used for heating alumina and petroleum coke during driving, and is only used as a feeding buffer bin after normal operation, if the moisture in the alumina and the petroleum coke is more, the moisture in the alumina and the petroleum coke is removed through electric induction heating, so that the influence on the quality of the aluminum trichloride product is avoided.
Furthermore, the chlorination furnace is a lower-deslagging type chlorination furnace with a sieve plate at the bottom, chlorine gas is introduced firstly, aluminum oxide is added for reaction for a period of time, and then aluminum powder is added for reaction, so that the chlorine gas is uniformly distributed through the sieve plate, and the aluminum oxide, the aluminum powder and the chlorine gas in the chlorination furnace are in a fluidized reaction state.
Furthermore, the chlorination furnace is used for regularly discharging slag at the bottom, so that impurities such as ferric trichloride and heavy metals and unreacted aluminum oxide in the chlorination furnace are discharged and are not brought into a quenching collector by gaseous aluminum trichloride, and the quality of aluminum trichloride products is guaranteed.
Furthermore, the reaction speed of the aluminum powder and the chlorine is high, the reaction speed of the aluminum oxide and the chlorine is low, so the height and diameter of the chlorination furnace are large, the reaction temperature is gradually reduced from bottom to top, the temperatures of the upper section, the middle section and the lower section of the chlorination furnace are controlled through three aluminum powder feeding ports, good reduction chlorination of the aluminum oxide is ensured during heat balance, and the temperatures of the lower section and the upper section of the chlorination furnace are respectively controlled at 840-850 ℃, 830-840 ℃ and 820-830 ℃.
Further, the step of quenching the gaseous aluminum trichloride which is the reaction product into three sections of quenching jackets which are connected in series in a countercurrent manner comprises the following steps: cooling water with the temperature of 10-30 ℃ enters a third quenching jacket to perform countercurrent heat exchange with gaseous aluminum trichloride at the temperature of 200 ℃, then the effluent water with the temperature of 50 ℃ enters a second quenching jacket to perform countercurrent heat exchange with gaseous aluminum trichloride at the temperature of 280 ℃, and the effluent water with the temperature of 70 ℃ enters a first quenching jacket to perform countercurrent heat exchange with gaseous aluminum trichloride at the temperature of 360 ℃; due to the fact that large-temperature-difference three-section countercurrent heat exchange is carried out and different cooling temperatures are controlled, the first aluminum trichloride bin, the second aluminum trichloride bin and the third aluminum trichloride bin are respectively used for hermetically collecting aluminum trichloride containing high-boiling-point substances such as ferric trichloride, high-purity aluminum trichloride and aluminum trichloride containing low-boiling-point substances such as silicon tetrachloride and titanium tetrachloride, so that high-purity aluminum trichloride products can be obtained in the second bin, and the crystal particle sizes of the aluminum trichloride products in the first aluminum trichloride bin, the second aluminum trichloride bin and the third aluminum trichloride bin are respectively 2-5 mm, 3-6 mm and 4-8 mm.
Further, when the whole process system starts to operate, the initial temperature of the electric induction heating furnace for pre-heating the aluminum oxide and the petroleum coke is 900-1000 ℃, which is higher than the normal mono-chlorination reaction temperature by 800-850 ℃, and the partial heat is used for heating the shell of the chlorination furnace; chlorine is introduced into the chlorination furnace, aluminum oxide fed into the electric induction heating furnace is subjected to monochlorination reaction, the reaction lasts for a long time, and due to the fact that a shell of the chlorination furnace absorbs heat, the unreacted chlorine in the system is possibly more, and a subsequent tail gas system must be completely absorbed; and gradually adding aluminum powder for combined chlorination when the temperature of the shell of the chlorination furnace reaches 400-450 ℃, so as to accelerate the temperature rise of the chlorination furnace until the temperature of the shell of the chlorination furnace reaches 800-850 ℃, stopping heating of the electric induction heating furnace, and balancing the heat of the electric induction heating furnace by using a DCS system control device.
Furthermore, the whole process system is completely sealed, the electric induction heating furnace (the aluminum oxide and petroleum coke feeding bin), the aluminum powder feeding bin and the aluminum trichloride bin are all protected by nitrogen gas sealing or nitrogen introduction, on one hand, solid powder adhered to a pipeline is swept by nitrogen gas, on the other hand, oxygen is reduced to enter and generate side reaction with aluminum, and chlorine gas is further prevented from leaking so as to ensure safe, environment-friendly and efficient operation of the system.
Further, the whole process system stops operating in two situations, namely emergency stop and planned stop: when the system is stopped emergently, the safety protection system immediately cuts off all raw material feeding valves and chlorine gas feeding valves, nitrogen enters from the chlorine feeding pipe, the fluidized state in the chlorination furnace is continuously maintained, the heat removal of the chlorination furnace, the quenching device and the tail gas device is ensured, and meanwhile, chlorine in the system is replaced and is absorbed by a subsequent tail gas system, and the chlorination tail gas system is required to be provided with an emergency power supply to ensure the safety of the system; when the car is planned to stop, the adding amount of the alumina and the petroleum coke is gradually reduced until the feeding is completely stopped, so that the alumina and the petroleum coke can completely react with the chlorine as much as possible, and the material amount in the chlorination furnace after the car is stopped is reduced, thereby facilitating the overhaul and treatment; due to the requirement of ensuring the material fluidization state in the chlorination tower, the unreacted chlorine gas in the system is likely to be more, and the subsequent tail gas system must be completely absorbed; the decrement of the aluminum powder is controlled by a DCS system so as to promote the complete reaction of the alumina and the petroleum coke through the heat release of the aluminum powder, and the influence of the residual aluminum powder is small when the next start is carried out; and stopping introducing chlorine gas at the later stage of parking, and changing nitrogen gas heat dissipation and replacement into nitrogen gas.

(2) the exothermic heat of the reaction of the aluminum powder and the chlorine is taken as the endothermic heat of the reaction of the aluminum oxide and the chlorine, so that the problem that the aluminum powder/aluminum ingot device cannot dissipate heat in time due to large amount of exothermic heat to limit the large-scale chlorination furnace device is solved, and the reaction of the aluminum oxide and the chlorine needs heat under the condition of not needing an external heat source, thereby achieving two purposes;
