By adopting the method and the device, the whole desulfurization and desulfurizing agent electrolysis regeneration process does not generate solid waste and secondary pollution, and the byproduct is high-purity O2、H2、SO2The gas can be processed into various downstream products, so that the market demand is large and the commercial value is high; in addition, the high-concentration NaOH solution is adopted as a desulfurizer to carry out desulfurization, and the desulfurization efficiency is far higher than that of other common desulfurizers; the initial investment of the whole desulfurization and desulfurizer electrolysis regeneration system is relatively low; in addition, it avoids the disadvantage of producing large amounts of dilute sulfuric acid which is difficult to handle in conventional sodium sulfate electrolytic regeneration processes.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the figures and examples:
using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and/or sodium sulfite (Na)2SO3) The solution as the main component is used as a desulfurizer to perform wet scrubbing desulfurization on the flue gas to be treated, and the purified flue gas is discharged to the atmosphere. The desulfurization washing equipment can be any desulfurization equipment capable of using the desulfurizing agentA sulfur tower. The sulfur dioxide in the flue gas and the desulfurizer react as follows:
when CO is present in the flue gas2Then, the following reaction takes place:
when the NaOH is completely consumed, Na2SO3Can be mixed with SO2Further reaction takes place:
it can be seen that Na is contained in the desulfurized wastewater2SO3And NaHSO3Is a solution of main components, and of course, depending on the components in the flue gas, there may be some suspended solids and small amounts of other impurity ions such as SO in the desulfurization waste water4 2-And the like.
In order to ensure better efficiency of electrolytic regeneration of the desulfurizer and reduce electrolytic energy consumption, the high-concentration desulfurizer can be used in a desulfurization washing tower for multiple times of self-circulation or multi-stage washing so as to ensure NaOH and Na2SO3All consumption becomes NaHSO3(ii) a The high-concentration desulfurizer is preferably not diluted, which causes Na in the desulfurization wastewater2SO3And NaHSO3Is lower, thereby increasing the energy consumption of electrolysis.
And introducing the desulfurized wastewater into a trans-form double-membrane three-chamber electrolytic cell for electrolytic regeneration. In order to prolong the service life of the ionic membrane, solid suspended matters in the desulfurization wastewater are separated as far as possible by adopting methods such as filtration and the like before entering the electrolytic bath.
The trans-form double-membrane three-chamber electrolytic cell consists of a cathode chamber, an intermediate chamber and an anode chamber; the cathode chamber and the intermediate chamber are separated by an anion exchange membrane, and the intermediate chamber and the anode chamber are separated by a cation exchange membrane; the electrolytic cathode plate is arranged in the cathode chamber, and the electrolytic anode plate is arranged in the anode chamber; the cathode chamber, the middle chamber and the anode chamber are respectively provided with a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet and a gas outlet; when the electrolytic cell works, the cathode chamber, the intermediate chamber and the anode chamber are respectively provided with certain gas-liquid separation spaces to ensure the escape of gas and the gas-liquid separation, or the gas-liquid separation space of any one of the cathode chamber, the intermediate chamber and the anode chamber can be arranged outside the electrolytic cell, all the chambers of the electrolytic cell are liquid spaces, the gas-liquid separation is realized by adopting an external gas bag, the circulation of liquid is realized by adopting a natural circulation or forced circulation method, and at the moment, a liquid outlet and a gas outlet can be combined into a whole.
Introducing desulfurization wastewater into cathode chamber of electrolytic cellThe outlet solution of the cathode chamber after electrolysis contains NaOH and/or Na2SO3Is used as a main component and is led back to the desulfurization washing tower to be recycled as a desulfurizing agent. The cathode compartment undergoes the following electrolysis reactions:
at the same time, part of the SO3 2-And/or HSO3 -And/or OH-The ions migrate to the intermediate chamber under the influence of the electric field. Due to OH-The ions are recycled as a desulfurizing agent, and OH is reduced for reducing ineffective energy consumption-The proportion of ions migrating to the intermediate chamber. On the premise of ensuring the desulfurization efficiency, the OH content of the cathode chamber is reduced as much as possible-Or by direct use of NaOH and NaHSO3Na formed after neutralization2SO3Is used as a desulfurizing agent for desulfurization.
Dilute sulfuric acid is led into the anode chamber of the electrolytic cell, and water is divided and consumed after electrolysis, so that water needs to be supplemented to the anode chamber, or concentrated sulfuric acid is led out from the liquid leading-out port and led back to the electrolytic cell after water is supplemented. Because the anode chamber solution system of the electrolytic cell forms closed cycle, partial impurity ions will permeate through the ionic membrane to accumulate and concentrate after the electrolytic cell operates for a long time, and therefore, the impurity ions need to be led out by shunting periodically or continuously for treatment so as to ensure the relative stability of the components of the anode chamber solution. The anode compartment undergoes the following electrolytic reactions:
at the same time, H in solution+The ions migrate to the intermediate chamber under the influence of the electric field.
In order to ensure the conductivity of the solution in the anode chamber and reduce energy consumption, a proper amount of neutral conductive medium such as 5% dilute sulfuric acid and the like can be added into the introduced liquid in the anode chamber.
The outlet liquid of the anode chamber can be pumped back to the liquid inlet of the anode chamber after adding a proper amount of water, so as to form a closed cycle.
H transferred from the anode chamber in the intermediate chamber of the electrolytic cell+Can not pass through the anion exchange membrane and is retained in the middle chamber; SO migrating from the cathode compartment3 2-Cannot pass through the cation exchange membrane and is retained in the intermediate chamber. H+And SO3 2-The higher the concentration of (A), the higher the formation of H2SO3Due to H2SO3Low solubility in water to escape SO2. The reaction formula is as follows:
due to H of the intermediate chamber2The more O sets, the more partial export is needed for additional processing.
In order to ensure the conductivity of the solution in the intermediate chamber and reduce energy consumption, a proper amount of neutral conductive medium such as 1% dilute sulfuric acid or dilute sodium sulfate solution can be added into the introduced liquid in the intermediate chamber.
Heating of the intermediate chamber solution may be used to assist in SO2Escape of (3). Produced SO2Has high percentage content, and can be processed into liquid SO after simple treatment2Or 108% oleum. SO (SO)2The post-treatment process of (a) is not included in the scope of the present invention.
The gas-liquid mixture in the intermediate chamber can be separated by an external gas-liquid separation device such as a steam drum, and at the moment, the liquid can be conveyed back to the intermediate chamber by adopting a natural circulation or forced circulation method.
The solution system of the middle chamber of the electrolytic cell forms a closed loop circulation, so that the electrolytic cell operates for a long timeThen part of the impurities such as SO will be generated4 2-Since the ion membrane is permeated and accumulated and concentrated, the ion membrane needs to be periodically or continuously separated and discharged for treatment.
NaOH taken out of the cathode chamber andNa2SO3and returning the obtained product as a desulfurizing agent to the desulfurization washing tower for recycling.
Because the electrolysis process of the anode chamber and the cathode chamber is exothermic reaction, in order to maintain the ideal electrolysis working condition of the electrolytic cell, the temperature of the liquid in the anode chamber, the intermediate chamber and the cathode chamber in the electrolytic cell needs to be controlled, for example, the liquid flow method is controlled and the liquid is cooled in the external circulation process, and the temperature in the electrolytic cell of the catholyte, the intermediate liquid and the anolyte is controlled between 80 ℃ and 85 ℃.
Since the solution is lost during the processes of desulfurization washing, filtration and the like, sodium ions andwater are reduced, so that NaOH and water need to be supplemented in the whole desulfurization and desulfurizer regeneration system.
Containing SO2The flue gas to be treated is led into the desulfurization washing tower 1 through a pipeline 14, and 20 percent of Na2SO3And 1% NaOH mixed solution as a desulfurizer is introduced into the desulfurizer washing tower 1 through the pump 12, and the desulfurizer reacts with sulfur dioxide in flue gas, so that the purposes of washing and purifying the desulfurizer are achieved. The purified flue gas is led out through a pipeline 13.
Containing NaHSO after desulfurization3The main desulfurization waste water is led into the cathode chamber of the electrolytic cell 2 after passing through a waste water collecting tank 3, a pump 11 and a filter 4, meanwhile, 1% dilute sulfuric acid is led into the middle chamber of the electrolytic cell through a pipeline 19, and 5% dilute sulfuric acid is led into the anode chamber of the electrolytic cell 2 through a pipeline 21.
Electrifying for electrolysis, and regenerating desulfurizing agents NaOH and Na in cathode chamber2SO3The mixed solution is introduced into the intermediate tank 5, and introduced into the desulfurization scrubber 1 by the pump 12 for recycling. During electrolysis, it is ensured that the gas-liquid spaces of the cathode chamber, the intermediate chamber and the anode chamber are relatively stable, the liquid in the intermediate chamber is led out in an overflow mode through a pipeline 20, the liquid in the anode chamber is led out in an overflow mode through a pipeline 22, the hydrogen gas is led out through a pipeline 18, the oxygen gas is led out through a pipeline 16, and the SO is led out2The gas is conducted out through a pipe 17.
Make-up water and make-up NaOH solution are led from line 15 to intermediate tank 5 to make up for the reduction due to run-off.
