Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung einer molybdänfreien, chromhaltigen Legierung, bestehend aus

  • 21 bis 35 Gew.-% Chrom,
  • 30 bis 70 Gew.-% Eisen,
  • 2 bis 40 Gew.-% Nickel,
  • 0 bis 20 Gew.-% Mangan
sowie üblichen Begleitelementen wie Kohlenstoff, Silizium, Phosphor, Schwefel, Stickstoff, Aluminium, Kupfer, Vanadium, Titan, Tantal und Niob als Werkstoff für Gegenstände, die gegen Schwefelsäure einer Konzentration oberhalb 96% beständig sind.The present invention relates to the use of a molybdenum-free, chromium-containing alloy consisting of
  • 21 to 35% by weight of chromium,
  • 30 to 70% by weight of iron,
  • 2 to 40% by weight of nickel,
  • 0 to 20% by weight of manganese
as well as usual accompanying elements such as carbon, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen, aluminum, copper, vanadium, titanium, tantalum and niobium as a material for objects which are resistant to sulfuric acid at a concentration above 96%.

Die Herstellung von Schwefelsäure geschieht im allgemeinen über die Stufe des Schwefeldioxids, aus welchem dann durch Oxidation Schwefeltrioxid gebildet wird, das dann in konzentrierter Schwefelsäure absorbiert wird, wo es mit Wasser unter Bildung weiterer Schwefelsäure reagiert.The production of sulfuric acid generally takes place via the sulfur dioxide stage, from which sulfur trioxide is then formed by oxidation, which is then absorbed in concentrated sulfuric acid, where it reacts with water to form further sulfuric acid.

Wesentliche Operationen bei der Herstellung von Schwefelsäure sind Trocknen, Absorbieren und Kühlen. Bei diesen Operationen liegen die Schwefelsäurekonzentrationen im allgemeinen oberhalb 96%.Essential operations in the manufacture of sulfuric acid are drying, absorbing and cooling. In these operations, sulfuric acid levels are generally above 96%.

Konzentrierte Schwefelsäure und Oleum sind insbesondere im höheren Temperaturbereich ein äusserst aggressives Medium. Es ist daher äusserst wünschenswert, dass alle die Bauteile einer Schwefelsäureherstellungsanlage, wie zum Beispiel Kontakttürme, Wärmeaustauscher, Rohre, Ventile, Pumpen, Verteiler und dergleichen, die mit der Schwefelsäure in Berührung kommen, aus korrosionsbeständigen Materialien bestehen. Als solche Materialien sind derzeit Gusseisen, Ziegel, Kunststoffe sowie korrosionsbeständige Legierungen in Gebrauch.Concentrated sulfuric acid and oleum are an extremely aggressive medium, especially in the higher temperature range. It is therefore highly desirable that all of the components of a sulfuric acid manufacturing plant, such as contact towers, heat exchangers, pipes, valves, pumps, distributors and the like, which come into contact with the sulfuric acid, are made of corrosion-resistant materials. Cast iron, brick, plastics and corrosion-resistant alloys are currently in use as such materials.

Die verwendeten metallischen Bauteile unterliegen einer beträchtlich schnellen Korrosion. Wenn nicht besondere Vorkehrungen getroffen werden oder wenn sie nicht hoch legiert werden, dann besitzen sie eine beschränkte Lebensdauer.The metallic components used are subject to considerably rapid corrosion. If no special precautions are taken or if they are not alloyed with high alloys, then they have a limited lifespan.

Die hochlegierten Materialien und die Gusseisen machen bei der Verarbeitung Schwierigkeiten, wodurch sich Beschränkungen hinsichtlich der Form derAntage ergeben und wodurch mehr Flansche, Fittings und Kosten erforderlich sind und sich mehr Stellen möglicher Leckbildungen ergeben.The high-alloy materials and cast iron make processing difficult, which imposes restrictions on the shape of the deposits, and which requires more flanges, fittings and costs, and more spots of possible leakage.

Eine Möglichkeit zur Verringerung der Korrosion ist die Anwendung des anodischen Schutzes. Durch die elektrochemische Bildung eines Oxidfilms kann die Korrosion beträchtlich verringert werden. Somit können rostfreie Stähle auch bei Säuretemperaturen oberhalb 120°C eingesetzt werden.One way to reduce corrosion is to use anodic protection. Corrosion can be reduced considerably by the electrochemical formation of an oxide film. This means that stainless steels can also be used at acid temperatures above 120 ° C.

Die Nachteile des anodischen Schutzes sind darin zu sehen, dass dieser nur bei Apparaturen mit einfacher Geometrik anwendbar ist. An speziellen Teilen wie Düsen, Rohrbögen, Flanschen usw. kann daher durch anodischen Schutz die Korrosion nicht vermieden werden. Weiterhin ist im betrieblichen Massstab ein grosser Kontrollaufwand für die Einhaltung der Anodenpotentiale nötig. Im Falle eines Betriebsstillstandes muss die Passivität teilweise wieder neu aufgebaut werden.The disadvantages of anodic protection can be seen in the fact that it can only be used in devices with simple geometry. Corrosion cannot be avoided on special parts such as nozzles, pipe bends, flanges etc. by anodic protection. Furthermore, a large amount of control is required on an operational scale to ensure that the anode potentials are maintained. In the event of a business shutdown, the passivity must be partially rebuilt.

Dem Einsatz von Tantal zur Herstellung korrosionsresistenter Werkstoffe (Chem. Ind. XXXV/6, 1983, D.F. Lupton: Sondermetalle im chemischen Apparatebau) steht dessen hoher Preis, gegeben durch die geringe Verfügbarkeit, entgegen.The use of tantalum for the production of corrosion-resistant materials (Chem. Ind. XXXV / 6, 1983, D.F. Lupton: special metals in chemical apparatus engineering) is countered by its high price, given the low availability.

In der DE-PS 2 154 126 wird die Verwendung einer Molybdän-haltigen austenitischen Nickellegierung als gegen heisse konzentrierte Schwefelsäure beständiger Werkstoff beschrieben. Aufgrund der schwierigen Verarbeitbarkeit ist der Einsatz jedoch eingegrenzt auf Teile wie Wellen, Lager, Pumpen, Ventile und dergleichen.DE-PS 2 154 126 describes the use of a molybdenum-containing austenitic nickel alloy as a material resistant to hot concentrated sulfuric acid. However, due to the difficult processability, the use is limited to parts such as shafts, bearings, pumps, valves and the like.

Aus der DE-OS 3 320 527 sind Silicium-haltige Stähle bekannt. Deren Nachteil ist jedoch in ihrer eingeschränkten Verwertbarkeit aufgrund der erschwerten Handhabbarkeit des Materials zu sehen.Silicon-containing steels are known from DE-OS 3 320 527. However, their disadvantage is their limited usability due to the difficult handling of the material.

Schliesslich werden in der europäischen Patentanmeldung 1 30967 4 Werkstoffe für den Einsatz in heisser hochkonzentrierter Schwefelsäure offenbart, von denen aber nur das Alloy 26-1 (Werkstoff Nr. 1.4131, Kurzname X1 CrMo 26 1) unter den geforderten Bedingungen eine gute Korrosionsbeständigkeit zeigt. Nachteilig an derem Werkstoff sind dessen schlechte Verarbeitbarkeit. Es erfordert unter anderem besonders hohe Anforderungen bezüglich der schweisstechnischen Verarbeitung.Finally, European patent application 1 30967 discloses 4 materials for use in hot, highly concentrated sulfuric acid, of which only the alloy 26-1 (material no. 1.4131, short name X1 CrMo 26 1) shows good corrosion resistance under the required conditions. A disadvantage of this material is its poor processability. Among other things, it requires particularly high requirements with regard to welding processing.

Es ist also eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein kostengünstiges einfach handhabbares Material als Schwefelsäure-resistenten Werkstoff zur Verfügung zu stellen, welcher nicht die Nachteile der oben beschriebenen Legierungen aufweist.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive, easy-to-handle material as a sulfuric acid-resistant material which does not have the disadvantages of the alloys described above.

Es wurde nun gefunden, dass chromhaltige Legierungen mit Chromgehalten von 21 bis 35 Gew.-%, die 30 bis 70 Gew.-% Eisen und gegebenenfalls Nickel bis zu 40 Gew.-% enthalten diese Anforderungen in hervorragender Weise erfüllen.It has now been found that chromium-containing alloys with chromium contents of 21 to 35% by weight, which contain 30 to 70% by weight of iron and optionally nickel up to 40% by weight, meet these requirements in an outstanding manner.

Der Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist somit die Verwendung einer chromhaitigen Legierung, bestehend aus

  • 21 bis 35 Gew.-% Chrom,
  • 30 bis 70 Gew.-% Eisen,
  • 2 bis 40 Gew.-% Nickel,
  • 0 bis 20 Gew.-% Mangan
sowie üblichen Begleitelementen wie Kohlenstoff, Silizium, Phosphor, Schwefel, Stickstoff, Aluminium, Kupfer, Vanadium, Titan, Tantal und Niob als Werkstoff für Gegenstände, die gegen Schwefelsäure einer Konzentration oberhalb 96% beständig sind.The object of the present invention is thus the use of a chrome alloy consisting of
  • 21 to 35% by weight of chromium,
  • 30 to 70% by weight of iron,
  • 2 to 40% by weight of nickel,
  • 0 to 20% by weight of manganese
as well as usual accompanying elements such as carbon, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen, aluminum, copper, vanadium, titanium, tantalum and niobium as a material for objects which are resistant to sulfuric acid at a concentration above 96%.

Eine besondere gute Korrosionsbeständigkeit wird mit Legierungen erreicht, deren Chromgehalt 23 bis 32 Gew.-% beträgt.A particularly good corrosion resistance is achieved with alloys whose chromium content is 23 to 32% by weight.

Als Schwefelsäure-resistente Legierungen werden nach dem Stand der Technik solche empfohlen, die Molybdängehalte im Bereich von mindestens 2 Gew.-% aufweisen. Die erfindungsgemässen Legierungen hingegen sind Molybdän-frei. Diese sind gegenüber den bekannten molybdän-haltigen Legierungen jedoch noch wesentlich verbessert bezüglich ihrer Korrosionsbeständigkeit. Die erfindungsgemässen Legierungen sind ausserdem preisgünstiger als Mo-haltige. Mitverantwortlich für die gute Verarbeitbarkeit der erfindungsgemässen Legierungen ist ein Gehalt an Nickel.According to the prior art, sulfuric acid-resistant alloys are recommended which have molybdenum contents in the range of at least 2% by weight. In contrast, the alloys according to the invention are molybdenum-free. These are compared to the known molybdenum containing alloys, however, significantly improved in terms of their corrosion resistance. The alloys according to the invention are also less expensive than Mo-containing ones. The nickel content is jointly responsible for the good processability of the alloys according to the invention.

Aus diesen Legierungen hergestellte Werkstoffe zeigen eine ausgesprochen gute Korrosionsbeständigkeit gegen hochkonzentrierte Schwefelsäuren. Gegenstand dieser Erfindung ist somit auch die erfindungsgemässe Verwendung, gemäss der der Werkstoff gegen Schwefelsäure bis zu Konzentrationen von 100, bevorzugt zwischen 98,0 und 99,5 Gew.-%, beständig ist.Materials made from these alloys show extremely good corrosion resistance against highly concentrated sulfuric acids. This invention therefore also relates to the use according to the invention, according to which the material is resistant to sulfuric acid up to concentrations of 100, preferably between 98.0 and 99.5% by weight.

Überraschenderweise zeigte sich aber auch, dass der Werkstoff gegen Schwefelsäure einer Konzentration von 100 bis 122,5 Gew.-% (Oleum) beständig ist. Auch im Oleum-Bereich ist aufgrund seines überlegenen Korrosionsverhaltens ein Einsatz aus wirtschaftlichen und sicherheitstechnischen Überlegungen empfehlenswert.Surprisingly, however, it was also found that the material is resistant to sulfuric acid at a concentration of 100 to 122.5% by weight (oleum). Due to its superior corrosion behavior, use in the oleum area is also recommended for economic and safety-related reasons.

Von wesentlicher Bedeutung für den Einsatz als Schwefelsäure-resistenter Werkstoff ist neben seinem konzentrationsabhängigen Korrosionsverhalten das ungewöhnliche Temperaturverhalten der erfindungsgemässen Legierung. Daraus hergestellte Werkstoffe sind gegen Schwefelsäuren von Temperaturen bis 350° C, bevorzugt von 50 bis 250° C, besonders aber von 80 bis 190° C, beständig.In addition to its concentration-dependent corrosion behavior, the unusual temperature behavior of the alloy according to the invention is of essential importance for use as a sulfur-resistant material. Materials made from it are resistant to sulfuric acids at temperatures up to 350 ° C, preferably from 50 to 250 ° C, but especially from 80 to 190 ° C.

Im Sinne dieser Erfindung ist es nicht von Bedeutung, ob die Legierung in ferritischer, ferritisch-austenitischer oder austenitischer Gefügeform vorliegt.In the sense of this invention it is not important whether the alloy is in a ferritic, ferritic-austenitic or austenitic structure.

Aufgrund der Summe der Eigenschaften ist die Verwendung der erfindungsgemässen anderen bekannten Materialien überlegen. Sie eignet sich somit hervorragend zur Herstellung von Apparaten zum Wärmeaustausch, von Rohrleitungen, Pumpen, Pumpenteilen, Armaturen, Flanschen, Filterkörben, von Nebelfiltern, Tropfenabscheidern, Apparaten zur Absorption S03-haltiger Gase bzw. Trocknung von Gasen, soweit Schwefelsäure als Trocknungsmittel verwendet wird, und für Behälter. Die Herstellung der Apparate erfolgt unter Zuhilfenahme bekannter Techniken unter Einsatz artgleicher oder artähnlicher Schweisszusatzwerkstoffe.Because of the sum of the properties, the use of the other known materials according to the invention is superior. It is therefore ideally suited for the production of heat exchange devices, pipelines, pumps, pump parts, fittings, flanges, filter baskets, mist filters, droplet separators, devices for the absorption of gases containing SO 3 or for drying gases, provided that sulfuric acid is used as a drying agent , and for containers. The apparatus is manufactured using known techniques using the same or similar welding filler materials.

Im Rahmen der Energiegewinnung bei der Schwefelsäureproduktion werden insbesondere im Bereich der Zwischen- und Endabsorption Temperaturen oberhalb ca. 80° C angestrebt, wobei der Wärmeaustausch der Speisewasservorwärmung oder bei Temperaturen oberhalb 110° C der Erzeugung von Niederdruckdampf dient. Auch hierfür eignen sich die erfindungsgemässen Werkstoffe sehr gut. Eine weitere Ausführung der erfindungsgemässen Verwendung besteht somit darin, dass aus der Legierung hergestellte Apparate im Bereich der Zwischen- und Endabsorption von Schwefelsäure-produzierenden Anlagen bei Temperaturen von 80 bis 190° C und Schwefelsäurekonzentrationen von 98,0 bis 99,5 Gew.-% H2SO4 eingesetzt werden.In the context of energy generation in the production of sulfuric acid, temperatures above approx. 80 ° C. are aimed in particular in the area of intermediate and final absorption, with the heat exchange serving to preheat the feed water or at temperatures above 110 ° C. to produce low-pressure steam. The materials according to the invention are also very suitable for this. A further embodiment of the use according to the invention is that apparatus made from the alloy in the area of the intermediate and final absorption of sulfuric acid-producing plants at temperatures from 80 to 190 ° C. and sulfuric acid concentrations from 98.0 to 99.5% by weight H 2 SO 4 can be used.
