The invention relates to a method for removing H2S from off-gases which contain at least 20 % by volume of water vapor, comprising treating the off-gases at a temperature above the water dew point of the off-gases with an aqueous, alkaline solution under absorption of the H2S, followed by subjecting the sulfide-containing solution formed to a biological oxidation of the sulfide.

Description

The method that is used for desulfurizing off-gases
The present invention relates to a kind of off-gas (off-gas) sulfur method of high water vapor content.More particularly, the present invention includes the method for a kind of reduction from the total sulfur content of the off-gas of sulfur recovery unit.
Utilize oxygen or make hydrogen sulfide (H as the oxygen-containing gas of air 2S) partial oxidation, then, under the condition that has catalyst to exist, the sulfur dioxide (SO that forms by hydrogen sulfide 2) with the reaction of the hydrogen sulfide of residual fraction, thereby the preparation elementary sulfur, this method is referred to as Crouse's method.This method is generally used for refinery and handles the hydrogen sulfide that reclaims from natural gas.Traditional claus plant comprises the combustion furnace with combustion chamber, so-called hot step, next be a plurality of-normally two or three-reactor, wherein filled catalyst.These steps of back have constituted so-called catalytic step.In the combustion chamber, input be rich in H 2The air-flow of S is burning under about 1200 ℃ temperature with air in certain amount.Air capacity should make 1/3rd H 2S becomes SO by following reactive combustion 2:
(1)
At H 2After the S partial combustion, unreacted H 2S (be amount about 2/3rds) and formed SO 2Quite a few further reacts by claus reaction:
(2)
Therefore, in hot step, about 60% H 2S has changed into elementary sulfur.Gas from the combustion chamber is cooled to about 160 ℃ in sulfur condenser, formed therein sulphur condensation then, flows into the sink (sulfur sink) of sulphur through siphon pipe.The molar ratio of hydrogen sulfide of uncooled gas-wherein and sulfur dioxide still is 2: 1-is heated to about 250 ℃ again, by first hydrogen-catalyst reactor, equilibrium establishment again
Figure A9880785500031
Gas from this catalytic reactor cools off in sulfur condenser again, and formed afterwards fluid sulphur is recovered, and residual gas is entering second catalytic reactor after the heating again.
According to the progression of catalytic reaction, the recovery per cent of sulphur is 94-97% in traditional claus plant.Therefore, a certain amount of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide have been left.
One of critical limitation of Crouse's method is along with hydrogen sulfide changes into sulphur, and the water content of handling in the gas raises.
Because water vapour content raises, and the concentration that has reduced hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide simultaneously, sees on the thermodynamic (al) angle that claus reaction is restricted, and causes the balance of claus reaction (2) to be moved to the left.To be this restriction in order eliminating as far as possible, to wish from handle gas water condensation.Yet because the dew point of water is more much lower than the solidification point of sulphur, in Crouse's method, the condensation of carrying out steam has run into the problem that is difficult to overcome, for example, because the obstruction that the curing of sulphur causes, and owing to form the corrosion that sulfurous acid causes.
In the past, the off-gas of claus process burns in the after-combustion stove.Yet, consider the environment aspect requirement of increasingly stringent, this will not be allowed to.
This has just caused the exploitation of method that the improvement of Crouse's method and Crouse's off-gas are removed.A kind of improvement of Crouse's method is so-called SUPERCLAUS method, is higher than 99% thereby the efficient of Crouse's method is risen to from 94-97%.SUPERCLAUS Method is disclosed in " SUPERCLAUS , the answer of the many restrictions of claus plant " and in (being disclosed in the 38th the trade union view of Canadianizing, on October 25th, 1988, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada).
At SUPERCLAUS In-99 methods, reaction (2) in hot step and claus reaction device is operated under excess hydrogen sulfide, therefore, be about 1 volume % from the hydrogen sulfide content in the reacting gas of afterbody claus reaction device, and the content of sulfur dioxide is about 0.02 volume %.In next reactor step, under the condition that has regioselective oxidation catalyst to exist, hydrogen sulfide by following reaction selectivity be oxidized to elementary sulfur: These catalyst are described in as in European patent 0242920 and 0409353.
As mentioned above, stricter environmental requirement not only needs to improve Crouse's method, and needs exploitation Claus tail gases (tailgas) processing method, further to make the desulfurizing off-gases from sulfur recovery unit.
Most of claus tail-gas clean-up methods have been used hydrogenation reactor, also are reduction reactor, therein, and sulfur dioxide, carbonyl sulfide (COS), carbon disulfide (CS 2), sulphur steam and any sulphur drop (sulphur mist) and hydrogen (H of carrying secretly 2) or reducibility gas-for example, comprise hydrogen and carbon monoxide-be converted into hydrogen sulfide.
Then, hydrogen sulfide absorbs by solution or gas phase catalysis changes into elementary sulfur and removed.
Only develop a few absorbs sulfur dioxide from funnel gases in Claus tail gases burning back exhaust gas treating method.These methods are not further discussed.Behind claus tail-gas clean-up-hydrogenation with solution absorb resulting hydrogen sulfide-method in, that the most famous is SCOT, BSR-Stretford, BSR-MDEA, Trencor-M and Sulften.These methods are disclosed in " exhaust purifying method summary " (33 by B.G.Goar RdGas regulation annual meeting, Oklahoma, Norman, 7-9 day March nineteen eighty-three) and hydrocarbon handle in (in February, 1986).
So far the most famous also the most effective tail gas sulfur method is the SCOT method, is disclosed in " gas and liquid desulfurization " (1997) of Maddox.The sulfur recovery rate that the SCOT method reaches is 99.8-99.9%.
Behind vent gas treatment-hydrogenation with resulting hydrogen sulfide gas phase catalyzed conversion-method in, only have seldom several to construct and known, as MODOP, CLINSULF, BSR-Selectox, Sulfreen, SUPERCLAUS-99.5.These methods are disclosed in joumal C﹠amp by B.G.Goar; EN (on May 11st, 1987) is among journal Sulphur (January nineteen ninety-five/February) and the DE-A 2648190.
In all these claus tail-gas clean-up methods, behind hydrogenation, the water that forms in claus reaction (2) and the selective oxidation reaction (3) is condensed, because the existence of water is at follow-up absorption liquid or hydrogen sulfide is catalytically converted into elementary sulfur adverse influence is arranged.The absorption liquid that is used for said method is the second month in a season or uncle's alkyl chain alcohol amine solution, as diisopropanolamine (DIPA) (DIPA) or methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) or combined oxidation reducing solution.Do not anhydrate if do not remove, absorption process will be interfered fully, promptly, perhaps making under too high temperature does not have or only has very little absorption generation, perhaps water condensation in the absorption tower in absorption process, the circulation solution serial dilution is to such an extent as to absorption no longer takes place.
In hydrogen sulfide gas phase catalytic conversion process, do not anhydrate if do not remove, hydrogen sulfide thermodynamic change by claus reaction (2) descends greatly, resulting situation also just with the afterbody reactor of Crouse's method in situation similar, therefore, the overall recovery that is higher than 99.5% sulphur can not reach.
Although use catalyst for selective oxidation as using in the SUPERSLAUS method, obtained higher efficient, SUPERSLAUS 99.5 also is like this, finds, can not realize surpassing 99.5% sulfur recovery rate.
Can say like this that substantially behind the hydrogenation, the shortcoming that the hydrogen sulfide in the gas phase is catalytically converted into the claus tail-gas clean-up method of elementary sulfur is to satisfy needed 99.90% the total sulfur recovery that is higher than.
Crouse's method promptly behind the hydrogenation, with water condensation, is used absorption liquid bulk absorption hydrogen sulfide again, as the SCOT method, can realize that the overall recovery of sulphur surpasses 99.90%, just its major defect is that cost of investment and energy consumption are high.The SCOT method of more recent version realized that as SUPERSCOT and LS-SCOT total sulfur recovery reaches 99.95%, but its cost is higher.
Another shortcoming of these methods is to discharge and to handle the condensate that contains acid cure hydrogen, and as in Sour Water stripper, therefore, the sour gas of dissolving separates with steam, and its cost is high too.
Environment requirement has not only influenced the exploitation of Crouse's method and claus tail-gas clean-up method, has also influenced the processing method of chimney gas, has also related to the flue gas treating process in power plant.The whole bag of tricks of " flue gas desulfurization (FGD) " is known, and wherein sulfur dioxide and milk of lime are converted into gypsum (Ca 2SO 4).Owing to formed superfluous gypsum, be the method for elementary sulfur with Sulphur Dioxide so wish exploitation.The Wellman Lord method that is disclosed among the Gas Purification (purification for gas) (the 4th edition, 1985, A.L.Kohl, F.C.Riesenfeld pp.351-356) is an example of this method, and wherein sulfur dioxide discharges with concentrated gas at last.Sulfur dioxide when 2/3rds changes into hydrogen sulfide in hydrogenation step after, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide gas are converted into elementary sulfur in claus plant.This method route also is expensive.Another development in this field is the biological desulphurization of flue gas.
The flue gas biological desulphurization is disclosed among the journal Lucht (No. 4, in December, 1994).The BIO-FGD method is used for always the flue gas of spontaneous power plant and removes sulfur dioxide, comprises an absorption tower, and in tower, sulfur dioxide is dissolved in the diluted sodium hydroxide solution by following reaction:
(4)
Then, this solution is handled in the two-stage biological reactor.
In first order biological step, formed sodium hydrogensulfite (NaHSO 3) change into vulcanized sodium (NaHS) at anaerobic reactor with electron donor.
(5)
Suitable electron donor is as hydrogen, ethanol, hydrogen and glucose.In second step, vulcanized sodium is oxidized to elementary sulfur in aerobic reactor, and elementary sulfur is separated.
Figure A9880785500071
Flue gas behind coal or the fuel oil combustion contains steam in a small amount.Water content is usually at 2-15 volume %, and corresponding dew point is 20-55 ℃.
If the BIO-FGD method is used for the desulfurization of Crouse's off-gas of after-combustion, all sulphur components have all changed into sulfur dioxide, and gas must cool off, because the water vapour content height of Crouse's off-gas.Doing like this is to prevent steam condensation in sodium hydroxide solution, consequently must discharge a part of sodium hydroxide solution continuously.
Crouse's off-gas must be cooled, and therefore, has formed acidic condensate, also must discharging.
In the desulfurizing off-gases of coal or oil fired power station, this problem can not take place, because the dew point of water is under the operating temperature on absorption tower.The cooling of this off-gas simply mode is carried out, and the condensation of water can not take place.
First purpose of the present invention provides the sulfur method of a kind of water vapour content up to the off-gas of 20-40 volume %, and therefore the wherein unnecessary condensation of carrying out water, has prevented to form the hydrogen sulfide containing acidic condensate that must discharge.
Second purpose of the present invention provides a kind of method, in the method, is absorbed under the temperature of the formed hydrogen sulfide of hydrogenation dew point of water in being higher than gas in the absorption liquid, in the absorption process of hydrogen sulfide, the condensation of water do not take place.
A further object of the present invention provides a kind of method, and total sulfur recovery surpasses 99.90%, but does not have above-mentioned shortcoming.
The present invention is based on so unexpected discovery, can reach absorbing hydrogen sulphide the gas of 20-40 volume % from water content in the temperature of the dew point that is higher than water with alkaline solution, and afterwards, the solution of formed sulfur compound is through aerobic biooxidation.
Therefore, the present invention relates to a kind of method of from the off-gas of water vapour content 20 volume %, removing hydrogen sulfide at least, be included under the temperature that is higher than water dew point in the off-gas, use the aqueous solution, alkaline solution, processing is in off-gas under the absorption at hydrogen sulfide, then, makes the formed biological oxidation that contains the solution of sulfide through hydrogen sulfide.
Find unexpectedly, be dissolved in alkaline solution-preferred sodium hydroxide solution-in hydrogen sulfide can in the biological aerobic reactor, preferably under the uniform temp that absorbs, change into elementary sulfur with air oxygen.
These water contents are that the dew point of the gas of 20-40 volume % is 60-80 ℃, and this just means that biological oxidation will carry out under at least 65 ℃, particularly carry out under 70-90 ℃ temperature.Especially surprisingly can under so high temperature, effectively and suitably carry out biological oxidation.
In the methods of the invention, at first the temperature of off-gas is brought up to more than 200 ℃, flow through (sulfided) VI family/group VIII metallic catalyst of the sulfuration that loads on the inorganic oxide carrier then with hydrogen and/or the gas that contains carbon monoxide, all sulphur components are all reduced, therefore, transform by following reaction equation as sulfur dioxide, sulphur steam and sulphur mist and hydrogen or the reducibility gas that contains just like hydrogen and carbon monoxide:
(7)
(8)
If there is oxygen in the off-gas, above-mentioned catalyst also has makes the character of oxygen by following reaction hydrogenation:
(9)
Preferably, above-mentioned catalyst also has the COS of making and CS 2Character by following reaction equation hydrogenation:
(10)
(11)
In the methods of the invention, therefore condensation, can not take place in the temperature from the off-gas of hydrogenation reactor is cooled and is higher than the steam dew point that is present in the gas to be adjusted to.Preferably, be cooled to be higher than dew point 3-5 ℃.
Off-gas, particularly its water vapour content of off-gas from Crouse's reclaimer is 20-40 volume %, its dew point is 60-80 ℃.
In the absorption tower, these off-gas directly with the diluted alkaline solution-preferred sodium hydroxide solution of pH value between 8-9-contact, the hydrogen sulfide in the gas is pressed following reaction and is dissolved:
(12)
Unabsorbed part in the above-mentioned off-gas is chosen wantonly after burning, is discharged in the air.
Because the alkaline solution after the regeneration is sulfide hydrogen not, the hydrogen sulfide that is present in the off-gas is absorbed fully, can realize that like this total sulfur recovery surpasses 99.90%.In the methods of the invention, solution preferably under the temperature that absorbs, by the aerobe reactor, therefore, needn't be removed or additional heat under uniform temp.In aerobic reactor, the supply air in certain amount makes the hydrogen sulfide that dissolves by airborne oxygen partial oxidation, presses following reaction forming element sulphur:
Figure A9880785500091
Then, at the sulphur separator, also preferably under identical temperature sulphur is separated with sodium hydroxide solution, solution is recycled to the absorption tower afterwards.Before being transported to the aerobe reactor, the sodium hydroxide solution that has absorbed hydrogen sulfide may cool off.Yet after having separated sulphur, before being fed to the absorption tower, solution is heated again.
