2.2 Method of application
2.3 Application result in HPF desulfurization process by ammonia process
Some coke oven gases adopt HPF desulfurization process by ammonia process. The designed gas treatment capacity is 57,000m3/h, H2S content of inlet gas is 5~6g/m3, H2S content after desulfurization≦0.5g/m3.
3 Increase and control of secondary salt
One of the major problems of wet oxidation desulfurization process is growth rate and treatment of waste liquor. HPF desulfurization process can effectively solve the treatment problem of waste liquor without obvious significance on coke quality and gas content.
3.1 Temperature of desulfurizing liquid
Desulfurization and regeneration two processes should be taken into consideration during temperature control. The former is exothermic reaction; lower temperature is good for desulfurization operation and reduces side reaction. Gas temperature is 35℃ and desulfurizing liquid temperature is 38℃.
3.2 Alkalinity of desulfurizing liquid
According to absorption reaction requirement in 1.2.1, ZL desulfurization catalyst must be used in alkaline solutions (ammonia or sodium carbonate).
3.3 Blast intensity
Sufficiently high oxygen density is essential to ZL catalyst regeneration. Blast intensity is according to actual regeneration effect of desulfurizing liquid.
Most notably, side reaction in 1.2.4 is related to HCN content in gas and separation situation of elemental sulfur.
4 Conclusion
desulfurization catalyst has favorable performance features and it can be used in wet oxidation desulfurization process of coke oven gas. In HPF desulfurization process by ammonia process, indicators of ZL desulfurization catalyst can meet design requirements. It has features such as high sulphur removal efficiency, large sulfur particle, easy to separate, low operating cost, and etc.
