Definitions
- This invention relates to a system and process for the processing of the spent pulping liquor from a kraft pulping process, known as black liquor, to recover the chemicals and produce fresh pulping liquor. More specifically, the system and process involve black liquor gasification in a fluidized bed reactor to produce a product gas and a dry solids product, without the formation of any smelt, and then the recovery of the chemicals to produce fresh pulping liquor streams with controlled compositions.
- the kraft pulping process employs an alkaline pulping liquor, known as white liquor, to react with the lignins in the wood and free the fibrous portions. Following a series of filtering and washing steps, the fibrous portion is separated as raw pulp and the remaining spent cooking liquor, which is dark in color, is known as weak black liquor. This liquor, which is approximately 85% water, is then subjected to a series of various types of evaporation to produce strong black liquor with solids content greater than 50%. The strong black liquor is then ready for the chemical recover phase.
- white liquor alkaline pulping liquor
- the typical prior art process for treating black liquor to recover chemicals employs what is commonly referred to as a chemical recovery furnace.
- these furnaces which are operated as boilers for the generation of steam, the strong black liquor is fired to burn the organic content and to form a smelt composed primarily of sodium sulfide and sodium carbonate.
- This smelt is drained from the smelt bed in the bottom of the furnace, dissolved in water to form green liquor and then causticized to form the white pulping liquor containing sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide.
- U.S. Patents 5,284,550 and 5,425,850 they basically involve the replacement of the chemical recovery furnace with a black liquor gasification system using a circulating fluidized bed reactor arrangement including the arrangement for processing the gases and solids which are produced to generate fresh cooking liquor.
- kraft black liquor is gasified under substoichiometric conditions to form a product gas rich in sulfide, primarily H 2 S with some COS, and a solid bottoms product containing primarily Na 2 CO 3 along with some unreacted Na 2 SO 4 and some Na 2 S.
- the bottoms product is dissolved to form what is referred to as green liquor which is then reacted to convert the Na 2 CO 3 to NaOH. This is done by a causticizing process where slaked lime, Ca(OH) 2 , is added to convert the Na 2 CO 3 to NaOH and CaCO 3 .
- the solid CaCO 3 is then calcined in a kiln to convert it to CaO which is then slaked and recycled to the causticizer.
- the resulting liquor is referred to as white liquor with a high sodium content and is recycled to the digester.
- the sulfur-rich product gas is separately processed in a reactor or scrubber to recover the sulfur compounds usually as Na 2 S.
- This sulfur recovery from the product gas may be carried out by wet scrubbing with NaOH and/or Na 2 CO 3 or it may be by dry scrubbing with calcium compounds (CaO, Ca(OH) 2 ).
- the sulfur in the product gas H 2 S, COS
- the invention involves the gasification of black liquor in a fluidized bed reactor to recover both sodium and sulfur for use in the kraft pulping process.
- the system will produce solid sodium and solid sulfur compounds in the gasifier suitable for conversion into kraft white liquor.
- the invention employs a calcium reactant which is added to the gasifier to react with the sulfur compounds (H 2 S and COS) directly in the gasifier rather than in a separate scrubber/reactor.
- the calcium reactant may be CaO, CaCO 3 or Ca(OH) 2 including materials which contain these reactants such as limestone and dolomite.
- the presence of the calcium compounds allows sulfur to be captured in the gasifier at the same time pyrolysis of black liquor occurs.
- Figure 1 is a process flow diagram of a black liquor gasification system according to the prior art.
- Figure 2 is a process flow diagram illustrating a black liquor gasification system incorporating the present invention.
- Figure 3 is a process flow diagram similar to Figure 2 but modified for the combined conversion of CaS and Na 2 CO 3 .
- Figure 4 is a process flow diagram illustrating a black liquor gasification system according to the present invention modified to provide multiple white liquor streams with variable sulfidity levels.
- the total air to the gasifier is generally in the range of 20% to 50% of stoichiometric which results in the gasification of more than 60% and up to 99% of the sulfur contained in the black liquor.
- the remaining sulfur reacts with sodium to form Na 2 S which remains a solid and is discharged out the bottom along with the Na 2 CO 3 and any unreacted Na 2 SO 4 .
- the solids which are formed, primarily Na 2 CO 3 are collected and drained from the bottom of the gasifier as bottoms solids stream 18 while the gas product 20 is removed from the top of the gasifier 1 2.
- the gas stream 20 contains sulfur, primarily as H 2 S, in addition to the other products of the substoichiometric oxidation process, namely CO 2 , CO, H 2 , H 2 O and N 2 .
- the sodium solids are dissolved in a liquid stream 24 which may be water or a weak liquor or scrubber liquor stream to form green liquor.
- the sodium sulfide content of the selected dissolving liquid 24 is low.
- the resulting green liquor stream 26 contains more than 70% and up to 95% sodium as sodium carbonate on a mole basis.
- the green liquor stream 26 is fed to the causticizer 28 where slaked lime, Ca(OH) 2 , is added from line 30 to convert the Na 2 CO 3 to NaOH and CaCO 3 .
- the slurry 32 from the causticizer 28 is fed to the settling tank 34 where the solids, primarily CaCO 3 , are separated out as a sludge 36 leaving the low sulfide white liquor stream 38.
- the CaCO 3 sludge 36 is washed with water in the mud washer 40 leaving a weak wash stream 42 which can be used in the plant, as needed.
- the washed CaCO 3 44 is fed to the kiln 46 for calcining to CaO and then to the slaker 48 for conversion back to Ca(OH) 2 .
- the white liquor stream 38 is composed mainly of NaOH with small amounts of Na 2 S and is recycled to the digester.
- the gas product 20 from the gasifier 12 would first be cleaned of entrained particulate material at 50 by some form of mechanical separator such as a cyclone with the removed solids being recycled at 52 back to the gasifier.
- the remaining gas stream from the solids separator means 50 may be cooled at 54 down to the saturation temperature via recovery of heat. If any additional fine dust removal is needed, the gas would then be sent through an electrostatic precipitator, bag filter or some other form of dust removal equipment (not shown).
- the cleaned and cooled gas product stream 56 is fed to the sulfur recovery scrubber 58.
- the scrubber 58 which operates in a known manner, employs a liquor stream 60 containing sodium values (Na 2 CO 3 and NaOH) to react with the sulfur compounds, primarily H 2 S with some COS, to form a liquor stream 62.
- a liquor stream 60 containing sodium values (Na 2 CO 3 and NaOH) to react with the sulfur compounds, primarily H 2 S with some COS, to form a liquor stream 62.
- the scrubbing liquor stream 60 it may in fact be several different liquor streams from various sources in the plant.
- the primary reactions which take place in the scrubber 58 are as follows:
- the clean overhead gas 64 from the scrubber 58 now contains primarily CO, CO 2 , H 2 , H 2 O, CH 4 and N 2 . There is sufficient heating value in this gas stream 64 so it is typically burned in combustion equipment such as a steam generator or lime kiln.
- the liquor stream 62 from the scrubber 58 contains primarily Na 2 S with smaller amounts of Na 2 CO 3 .
- This green liquor stream 62 is fed to a holding tank 66 from which it is used to prepare a high sulfide white liquor stream which will typically involve another causticizing operation for the Na 2 CO 3 .
- Figure 1 which has just been described in that it provides for the capture of the sulfur in the gasifier and eliminates the requirement for a scrubber/reactor to remove the sulfur from the gases.
- the gasifier is operated with a bed of particles consisting of those described in the prior art plus one or more calcium compounds, CaO, Ca(OH) 2 and/or CaCO 3 , which react with the sulfur compounds to form CaS.
- the present invention has the same basic arrangement of a circulating fluidized bed gasifier 12 fed with black liquor 10 and fluidizing and combustion air 14 and 1 6.
- a similar overhead gas stream 20 is produced and the solids are separated at 50 and recycled back to the gasifier in line 52.
- This line 52 would actually comprise a conventional solids return system consisting of a discharge duct from the bottom of the separator 50 and a fluidization seal system, known as a G valve or a seal pot. This is to assure one way flow of solids from the separator 50 back to the gasifier.
- the remaining gas stream 56 will be discussed hereinafter.
- the calcium compounds in line 68 comprise recycled calcium compounds and make-up calcium compounds added as needed at 70.
- the solid product from the gasifier contains primarily Na 2 CO 3 , Na 2 S, CaS and any unreacted Na 2 SO 4 , CaO and CaCO 3 .
- the gasifier must be operated in a temperature range where the solids do not melt and agglomerate.
- the sodium and potassium salts also react with higher melting sodium compounds, Na 2 CO 3 (851 °C) and Na 2 S ( 1 180°C), to form eutectics which lower the bed melting temperature. Such reactions tend to reduce the allowable operating temperature of the gasifier.
- the gasifier will operate between 650°C and 850°C and most likely between 700°C - 750°C.
- the gasifier may be. operated at higher temperatures.
- the presence of the dry, high melting point calcium compounds will counter the agglomerating effect that the melting of other, lower melting solids would have on the fluidization characteristics.
- the dry calcium compounds will bind to and coat any melted compounds so that they will not agglomerate.
- the advantage of being able to operate the gasifier at a higher temperature is that the reactions involved will proceed at a higher rate.
- the high temperatures result in high absorption rates of sulfur. Sulfur absorption up to 99% or more may be achieved in the range of 700 to 900°C.
- the solids stream 1 8 from the gasifier is fed to the dissolving tank 72.
- Water either as make-up water 74 or the weak wash return stream 76, is added to the tank 72 where the Na 2 CO 3 and Na 2 S are dissolved to form green liquor containing solid CaS, CaO, CaCO 3 and inert compounds originating from the black liquor. These inert compounds are referred to as ash or non-process elements (NPEs) .
- Sodium sulfide hydrolyzes to form two compounds consisting of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The reactions are as follows:
- the liquor stream 78 is fed to a reaction tank 80 to convert the sulfur in CaS into NaHS.
- White liquor 82 is fed to the tank where the active compound, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), reacts with CaS to form
- the effluent green liquor 84 from the CaS conversion at 80 now contains NaOH and NaHS as dissolved compounds plus CaCO 3 , unreacted Ca(OH) 2 and the non-process elements as suspended solids.
- the green liquor is fed to a solids separation device 86 to clarify the green liquor. Clarified green liquor 88 is discharged and sent to causticizer 90 for final conversion into white liquor.
- Solids 92 from filter 86 are washed at 94 with water 96 to remove residual sodium compounds and the solids 98 are returned to the gasifier.
- the liquid 76 separated from the solids is returned to the dissolving tank 72.
- the solids 94 returned to the gasifier will contain non-process elements that flow through the chemical recovery process as inert material.
- the non-process elements which are contained in the black liquor will build up to high levels if not removed.
- the solids stream can be purged at 100 or filtered to maintain the desired level. Make-up calcium
- the final conversion process to form white liquor occurs in the causticizer 90.
- Slaked lime (Ca(OH) 2 ) 102 is fed into the causticizer which converts Na 2 CO 3 to NaOH by the following equation:
- Unclarified white liquor 104 is discharged from the causticizer 90 and sent to a filter 106 to remove the calcium solids. Clarified white liquor 108 is then sent to the digester for pulping of wood. Some white liquor 82 is diverted to the CaS conversion process as previously explained.
- Calcium carbonate which is the primary solid 1 10 removed from white liquor, is processed through conventional calcining and slaking processes.
- the CaCO 3 is first washed with water 1 12 and dewatered in the filter 1 14.
- the dewatered CaCO 3 1 16 is calcined in a lime kiln
- the flue gas stream 130 from the combustion equipment 1 28 is cleaned at 1 32 to remove any remaining entrained particulate solids which are recycled at 1 34 to the gasifier 1 2 or sent to disposal.
- the cleaner 1 32 may be a hot gas filter, a baghouse, an electrostatic precipitation or a wet scrubber. Because there is not 100% H 2 S removal in the gasifier 12 and the gas stream 56 contains low concentrations of H 2 S which will be oxidized to SO 2 in the combustion equipment 128, the flue gas stream 136 from the cleaner 1 32 contains some SO 2 which can be vented to the atmosphere if the SO 2 level is low enough or the flue gas can be scrubbed at 138.
- a scrubbing solution 140 such as a NaOH solution, will convert the SO 2 to Na 2 SO 3 and Na 2 SO 4 .
- Production of sodium sulfite can be controlled with the black liquor gasification process by controlling the proportion of sulfur which is gasified as H 2 S and other reduced sulfur compounds. This is accomplished by controlling the mole ratio of calcium to sulfur in the reactor.
- the inclusion of this scrubber 138 reduces the total sulfur emissions from the plant and conserves sulfur for use in the process.
- the remaining gases 1 39 from the scrubber 1 38 may usually be discharged to the atmosphere.
- the reactions which take place in the SO 2 scrubber 1 38 are as follows:
- the cleaner 1 32 may precede the combustion equipment 128.
- Figure 3 represents a modified version of the process described in reference to Figure 2 in which both CaS and Na 2 CO 3 are converted together.
- Green liquor 78 containing calcium solids and non-process elements are fed to a conversion process 144 in which the sulfur as CaS is converted to NaHS and the sodium as Na 2 CO 3 is converted to
- Ca(OH) 2 1 63 from the CaCO 3 in stream 158 for use in the causticizing of sodium carbonate at 144.
- the sodium hydroxide generated during this causticizing causes the conversion of CaS to NaHS.
- Non-process elements contained in washed calcium carbonate stream 158 are purged at 164 before entering the lime kiln 161 .
- Calcium carbonate 68 required to the gasifier is diverted upstream of the kiln 1 61 .
- Make-up calcium 70 as CaCO 3 , CaO or Ca(OH) 2 is added as required to compensate for calcium lost through purging non-process elements.
- FIG. 4 An alternative process for producing the white liquor for use in the digestion process is illustrated in Figure 4. This involves the production of split white liquor streams, one having a low sulfide content and one having a high sulfide content. These split white liquor streams can then be used for a multistage digestion process. A white liquor stream with a high sulfide content is more desirable at the early stages of delignification, while a white liquor with a lower sulfide content and a higher NaOH concentration is more desirable later in the delignification process to more effectively remove lignin without effecting the pulp fiber strength.
- solids 18 containing sodium and calcium compounds plus the non-process elements are discharged from the gasifier into a dissolving tank 72.
- the following reactions occur in the dissolving tank 72:
- CaS is converted by reaction with NaOH. Since NaOH is formed in the dissolving tank when Na 2 S is hydrolyzed, some calcium sulfide may begin conversion. If required to slow down the conversion process, the green liquor 78 may be cooled at 1 65 before entering the solids separation filter 166 where the solid CaS 1 67 is separated.
- An unclarified high sulfidity white liquor 174 is discharged from the CaS conversion tank 1 68 to a filter 176 to separate the calcium solids. Discharged from the filter 1 76 is a clarified high sulfidity white liquor 178 and solids 180 containing mostly CaCO 3 , plus smaller amounts of Ca(OH) 2 and non-process elements. These solids 1 80, now separated from the high sulfidity white liquor 1 78 are filtered (washed and dewatered) at 1 82 with water 1 84.
- the liquid 1 86 which is similar to weak wash is discharged from the filter 1 82 and recycled back to the dissolving tank 72.
- Make-up water 74 is added if necessary to this stream 1 86.
- the solids 68 discharged from the filter is recycled back to the gasifier with whatever purge 188 may be required as mentioned earlier.
- Make-up calcium 70 is again added to the level required in the gasifier.
- a second white liquor stream containing a low sulfidity (low NaHS) concentration is generated from the green liquor stream 1 90 discharged from first solids filter 1 66.
- This liquor is high in Na 2 CO 3 and low in Na 2 S.
- the carbonate must be converted to NaOH.
- This is done in a conventional causticizing system using the lime kiln 192 and slaker 194 to produce the Ca(OH) 2 stream 1 96 for the causticizer 1 98 as more fully described in reference to Figure 2.
- the liquor 200 from the causticizer 198 is filtered at 202 to give the low sulfidity white liquor stream 204 and the solid CaCO 3 stream 206.
- a portion 1 70 of the white liquor 204 is recycled to a CaS conversion tank 1 68 while the remainder is sent to the pulping process.
- the solid CaCO 3 stream 206 is washed and filtered at 208 to yield the CaCO 3 stream 210 for the causticizing operation.
- the wash water 21 2 from the washer/filler 208 is returned to the dissolving tank 72. As shown, water is supplied to the washer/filter 208 at 214 while water 216 is supplied to the slaker 1 94.
- the invention can also produce a third pulping liquor in the form of sodium sulfite (Na 2 SO 3 ) Sulfite is produced from scrubbing SO 2 contained in the flue gas 136 as described previously.
- the invention not only produces sulfite as a byproduct of gasification, but can also control the quantity of sulfite produced.
- Sulfur capture in the gasifier is dependent on many factors including temperature, mixing characteristics, gas and particle residence times and ratio of calcium to sulfur (molar basis). For the most part, all of the above factors will be somewhat constant.
- the ratio of calcium to sulfur also known as the Ca to S mole ratio
- the recycled calcium compounds in line 68 are moist, some of the heat in the gasifier is used merely to dry the calcium compounds. Therefore, instead of injecting them directly back into the gasifier, they may be injected through line 69 into the hot product gas from the gasifier. For example, they may be injected into the separator 50 as illustrated in Figure 4 such that the hot gases dry the calcium compounds and then separates them from the gases along with other solids for recycle to the gasifier. Alternatively, they could be injected into a dedicated contact device located in line 56 and then separated from the gases for recycle apart from the recycle 52 of the other solids.
