Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing granular ammonium sulfate suitable for bulk blending using ammonia contained in coke oven gas as an ammonia source. [0002] Coke oven gas contains ammonia 6 to
10 g / Nm 3, hydrogen sulfide 4~7g / Nm 3, hydrocyanic 1 to 3 g / Nm 3 is contained. For this reason, coke oven gas is introduced into the wet desulfurization tower and brought into contact with an alkaline aqueous solution containing a catalyst, to absorb and remove hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide in the gas, and to introduce an absorbing solution absorbing hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide into the regeneration tower. The solution is oxidized by the action of air and a catalyst to produce colloidal sulfur, and the solution is regenerated to the original alkali. When this alkaline aqueous solution is used in a circulating manner, rodane, thiosulfate and the like are generated and accumulated as a side reaction. Therefore, a part of the alkaline aqueous solution is extracted to separate colloidal sulfur, which is then treated in a waste liquid treatment facility. The coke oven gas from which hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide have been removed is then introduced into an ammonium sulfate saturator, where the mother liquor containing free sulfuric acid reacts with ammonia in the coke oven gas to produce an ammonium sulfate mother liquor, which is introduced into the crystallization tank. It is known to concentrate and concentrate to produce granular ammonium sulfate suitable for bulk blending. The oxidative decomposition method (Compax method), which is one of the methods for treating sulfur and desulfurization waste liquid discharged from the wet desulfurization step in the coke oven gas, burns sulfur and desulfurization waste liquid to form SO 2 , This is further oxidized to SO 3 , absorbed with water, and recovered as sulfuric acid. Therefore, if it is possible to use sulfuric acid by-product sulfuric acid recovered by the treatment of sulfur discharged from the wet desulfurization process and desulfurization waste liquid as sulfuric acid in the production of ammonium sulfate from ammonia in coke oven gas, it is extremely reasonable to reduce costs. Can be. [0004] However, the desulfurized sulfur discharged from the coke oven gas wet desulfurization process using ammonia in the coke oven gas as an alkali source is burned,
When the recovered by-product sulfuric acid is used as sulfuric acid in the production of ammonium sulfate from ammonia in a coke oven gas, the mother liquor is colored and the product ammonium sulfate is colored, and foreign substances such as black powder are generated in the mother liquor. It has been found. Therefore, it is difficult to use the by-product sulfuric acid as it is as purified sulfuric acid as it is in the production of ammonium sulfate from ammonia in coke oven gas. An object of the present invention is to prevent coloring of a mother liquor and the generation of foreign matter such as black powder when sulfuric acid produced as a by-product of ironmaking is used as sulfuric acid in the production of ammonium sulfate from ammonia in a coke oven gas. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing granular ammonium sulfate, which can produce the same granular ammonium sulfate as used. Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have made intensive studies to achieve the above object. As a result, it is effective to add hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ) to by-product sulfuric acid,
The addition of hydrazine to the by-product sulfuric acid produced by ironmaking prevents the coloring of the mother liquor and the generation of foreign substances such as black powder, and as a result, it has been clarified that it can be used as a granular ammonium sulfate raw material for bulk blending in the same manner as purified sulfuric acid. . That is, according to the present invention, in a method of washing a coke oven gas with a mother liquor containing free sulfuric acid to form an ammonium sulfate mother liquor and crystallizing the same to produce granular ammonium sulfate, the method comprises the steps of discharging a coke oven gas from a wet desulfurization step. A method for producing granular ammonium sulfate, comprising treating the sulfur and the sulfuric acid by-product sulfuric acid recovered by the treatment of the desulfurization waste liquid with hydrazine, and then using the treated hydrazine for the production of ammonium sulfate. According to the present invention, when sulfuric acid by-produced iron is treated with hydrazine and then used for the production of ammonium sulfate, the coloring of the ammonium sulfate mother liquor is prevented, and the generation of black powder is suppressed. Can be used as The amount of hydrazine added at the time of treatment with hydrazine as a by-product iron-producing sulfuric acid is 0.01 to 0.01% based on the amount of iron-producing by-product sulfuric acid in order to prevent coloring even when added to an ammonium sulfate solution after hydrazine treatment. 0.10% addition is required. However, it is practical to appropriately increase or decrease according to the degree of black powder generation or the degree of coloring. The temperature and time in the hydrazine treatment of the by-product sulfuric acid sulfuric acid may be 2 ° C. or more and 15 minutes. However, in view of the solubility of hydrazine sulfate (N 2 H 4 .H 2 SO 4 ), the temperature is raised to 60 ° C. or more. Is preferred. The hydrazine used is hydrazine sulfate (N 2 H 4 .H 2 S
Hydrazine hydrates and salts such as O 4 ) and hydrated hydrazine (N 2 H 4 .H 2 O) can be used. EXAMPLES Example 1 Dilute sulfuric acid was prepared by adjusting the concentration of free sulfuric acid to 5% and the concentration of free sulfuric acid to 20% for each of the by-product sulfuric acid and purified sulfuric acid. In the case of 200 l of coke oven gas and 20% of free sulfuric acid, ammonia was absorbed by bubbling 400 l of coke oven gas per 100 g of dilute sulfuric acid, and the coloring of the mother liquor immediately after the absorption and after standing in a room for 24 hours was visually determined. . Table 1 shows the results. In addition, as for the visual judgment criteria, が indicates colorless and transparent, and X indicates reddish brown. [Table 1] As shown in Table 1, in the case of purified sulfuric acid, in both cases of free sulfuric acid 5% and free sulfuric acid 20%, the mother liquor immediately after absorption was colorless and transparent, and was colored reddish brown after standing for 24 hours. On the other hand, in the case of sulfuric acid by-produced iron, the mother liquor is already colored reddish brown immediately after absorption, and is not suitable for producing ammonium sulfate from coke oven gas. Example 2 At room temperature, hydrazine was added in an amount of 0.03 to
After adding 0.10% and stirring for 1 hour, 10 g of mother liquor of the actual operation using purified sulfuric acid was added to 5 g of hydrazine-treated iron by-product sulfuric acid, the absorbance was measured at 535 nm, and the amount of hydrazine added and coloring The relationship with the reduction rate was evaluated by a simple coloring test, and the amount of generated black powder was measured.
The results are shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG.
By adding hydrazine to the by-product sulfuric acid by 0.05%, coloring of the mother liquor can be almost completely prevented. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the generation of black powder can be significantly reduced by adding hydrazine to sulfuric acid by-produced sulfuric acid in an amount of 0.05%. Example 3 For each of purified sulfuric acid, iron-produced sulfuric acid and hydrazine-treated sulfuric acid obtained by adding 0.04% of hydrazine to iron-produced sulfuric acid at room temperature for 1 hour, 1.01 kg of sulfuric acid was added to 1.10 kg of water. 1.29 kg of ammonia water after adding
Was added, and 2.6 m 3 of coke oven gas was blown at a rate of 10 l / min into the mother liquor adjusted to 4.5% of free sulfuric acid at a time, and then reduced to 2% of free sulfuric acid. About 50 g / time of sulfuric acid was added to the mother liquor to adjust the free sulfuric acid in the mother liquor to 4.5%, and the coke oven gas was again supplied at 10 l / mi.
Injection of 2.6 m 3 / times at a ratio of n was repeated 20 times to obtain about 3.2 kg of a crystallization mother liquor containing about 1 kg of crystals. Coloring and black powder generation of the obtained three types of coke oven gas absorbing mother liquors were measured. Table 2 shows the results. The coloring of the coke oven gas absorption mother liquor was visually and 535n.
The absorbance at m was measured. [Table 2] As shown in Table 2, in the case of hydrazine-treated sulfuric acid obtained by adding hydrazine to by-product sulfuric acid for iron production,
Coloring and black powder generation are almost the same as those of purified sulfuric acid, whereas the amount of coloring and generation of black powder are much worse in the case of iron by-product sulfuric acid as compared with purified sulfuric acid. As described above, according to the present invention,
Since by-product sulfuric acid can be used for the production of granular ammonium sulfate from coke oven gas, the cost can be significantly reduced as compared with the case where conventional purified sulfuric acid is used.
