Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for removal of S0 2 from off-gases by reaction with H 2 0 2 .
- H 2 0 2 0.1-0.5% H 2 0 2 .
- the absorption is typically carried out at a temperature of 50-80°C of the circulating solution.
- H 2 0 2 is added either as a concentrated aqueous solution of H 2 0 2 to the circulating acid, or it is produced by electrolysis of a side stream of the circulating acid. The produced acid is drawn off from the circulating acid.
- the known process usually requires installation of a low velocity aerosol filter downstream of the absorption tower to remove sulphuric acid aerosol (acid mist) in order to meet acid mist emission regulations requiring less than about 5 mol ppm HS0 4 in the stack gas.
- Fine acid mist (aerosol) that may be present in the off-gas is not removed efficiently in the absorption tower. Fine acid mist is also formed in the absorption tower itself by reaction between S0 and H 2 0 2 vaporised from the absorbing liquid.
- FIG. 1 A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in Fig. 1.
- a solution of 0.1-30% H 2 0 2 in line 1 is sprayed by the spray nozzles 3 into a stream of off-gas in line 2 containing typically between 100-1000 ppm S0 2 and having a temperature typically in the range of 50-120°C.
- the nozzles are placed in duct 4, so that the spray is evenly distributed in the gas stream upstream of the mist filter 5 in which the gas is passed in parallel through a number of low velocity filter candles 6.
- Even distribution of the droplets in the gas is desirable for the process and the most even distribution of the droplets is achieved by using air- atomising nozzles producing very small droplets.
- the H 2 S0 formed in the process accumulates in the filter elements or candles from which it is drained off through line 7. Most or all of the mass of the droplets evaporate before the gas enters the filter candles, whereby most of the H 2 0 evaporates and reacts in the gas phase under formation of sul- phuric acid aerosol. However, it is not necessary that the droplets are completely evaporated before the gas enters the filter elements. The reaction between S0 2 and H 2 0 will be completed and the thermal equilibrium will be established in the mist filter elements without decreasing the efficiency of the S0-removal. Thus, the injection of the aqueous solution H 2 0 2 serves two purposes :
- the water comprised in the solution cools off the off-gas in line 2 by evaporation of the droplets, whereby the off-gas is cooled off to a desired temperature of the filter elements or candles typically to a temperature between 50°C and 70°C.
- the concentration of H 2 S0 4 in the produced acid will be the equilibrium concentration of H 2 S0 4 at the actual temperature and H 2 0 partial pressure in the gas phase.
- An off-gas stream of 1000 Nm 3 /h at 100°C contains 200 ppm S0 2 + 10% H 2 0 and has a temperature of 100°C. 96% S0 2 removal is desired.
- the aerosol filter is designed for opera- tion at maximum 70°C. Operation at 67-70°C is chosen in order to achieve the highest possible acid strength and low content of remaining H 2 0 2 in the produced acid.
- the process is conducted as follows : 15.7 kg/h water con- taining 2.0 wt% H 2 0 2 is injected into the off-gas, whereby the off-gas is cooled to 65-70°C in thermal equilibrium.
- the mist filter is 75 mm thick and has a flow area of 2.5 m 2 .
- the diameter of the fibres is about 8 ⁇ m.
- Experiments carried out under these conditions show that about 96% of the S0 2 is removed under production of 1.7 kg/h 50% H 2 S0 4 with about 500 ppm H 2 0 2 .
- the treated gas contains less than 2 ppm H 2 S0 4 and the content of H 2 0 2 is below the detection limit .
