Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for ammonium-enhanced flue gas desulfurization (FGD) by using red mud slurry. The method specifically includes: crushing red mud, sieving the crushed red mud, slurrying the red mud, conducting aeration treatment, adding an ammonium salt and/or ammonia, and conducting natural sedimentation to obtain pretreated red mud slurry and pretreated red mud liquor; adding an ammonium salt and/or ammonia to the slurry, adding water and conducting uniform mixing, conducting pre-FGD, conducting deep desulfurization on treated flue gas by using the pretreated red mud liquor, and directly discharging desulfurized flue gas; and charging the pretreated red mud slurry and the pretreated red mud liquor obtained after the treatment to a replacement tank below, adding lime milk to the replacement tank, conducting stirring and natural sedimentation, conducting soilization on subnatant thick red mud slurry, and refluxing the supernatant to a red mud aeration tank.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for ammonium-enhanced flue gas desulfurization (FGD) by using red mud slurry, comprising the following steps:
(1) crushing red mud, sieving the crushed red mud through a sieve with 50-200 meshes, slurrying the red mud by using slurry liquid according to a liquid-solid ratio of (25-30):1,; and introducing sulfur dioxide and oxygen gas for aeration of red mud slurry in a red mud aeration tank, adding an ammonium salt and/or ammonia to the red mud aeration tank, conducting natural sedimentation to obtain pretreated red mud slurry and pretreated red mud liquor, and using the pretreated red mud slurry and the pretreated red mud liquor as pre-desulfurization slurry and deep desulfurization liquor of sulfur-containing flue gas;
(2) adding an ammonium salt and/or ammonia to the pretreated red mud slurry, adding water and conducting uniform mixing, allowing the sulfur-containing flue gas to be in countercurrent contact with the mixture in a desulfurization tower for pre-desulfurization, conducting deep desulfurization on treated flue gas by using the pretreated red mud liquor, and directly discharging desulfurized flue gas; and
(3) charging the pretreated red mud slurry and the pretreated red mud liquor treated in step (2) to a replacement tank below, adding lime milk to the replacement tank, conducting stirring and natural sedimentation, comprehensively utilizing subnatant thick red mud slurry for soilization, and refluxing the supernatant to the red mud aeration tank.

2. The method for ammonium-enhanced FGD by using red mud slurry according to claim 1 , wherein the slurry liquid in step (1) is any one or more of industrial water, acidic wastewater, and supernatant in the replacement tank.

3. The method for ammonium-enhanced FGD by using red mud slurry according to claim 1 , wherein a volume ratio of the sulfur dioxide to the oxygen gas in step (1) is 1:1-6:1.

4. The method for ammonium-enhanced FGD by using red mud slurry according to claim 1 , wherein the ammonium salt is any one or more of ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfide, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium persulfate, and a quaternary ammonium salt; and the ammonia is ammonia gas or ammonia water.

5. The method for ammonium-enhanced FGD by using red mud slurry according to claim 1 , wherein a dosage of the ammonium salt and/or ammonia in step (1) is 0.5-5% of the amount of the red mud, and a dosage of the ammonium salt and/or ammonia in step (2) is 0.5-5% of the amount of the pretreated red mud slurry.

6. The method for ammonium-enhanced FGD by using red mud slurry according to claim 1 , wherein pH of both the pretreated red mud slurry and the pretreated red mud liquor in step (1) is controlled to be greater than 8.5.

7. The method for ammonium-enhanced FGD by using red mud slurry according to claim 1 , wherein pH of the subnatant thick red mud slurry in the replacement tank in step (3) is controlled to be 6-7.

8. The method for ammonium-enhanced FGD by using red mud slurry according to claim 1 , wherein the soilization in step (3) is specifically comprises: conducting suction filtration on the subnatant thick red mud slurry by using a suction filtration machine, adding a soil remediation agent to red mud filter residue, uniformly spreading the mixture on soil with normal physicochemical properties, and mixing the mixture with the original soil.

9. The method for ammonium-enhanced FGD by using red mud slurry according to claim 8 , wherein the soil remediation agent comprises the following raw materials (by weight): 10-25 parts of waste biomass powder, 1-5 parts of organic manure, and 0.5-1.5 parts of urea; the waste biomass powder is one or more of crop straw powder, biogas residue, and biomass sawdust; and the organic manure is one or more of pig manure, chicken manure, cow manure, dog manure, horse manure, and duck manure.

10. The method for ammonium-enhanced FGD by using red mud slurry according to claim 8 , wherein a mass ratio of the soil remediation agent to the red mud filter residue is 1:(5-10).
