Technology comment
The purchased sulfur raw material enters the sulfur burning furnace through hoppers, feeders, and other equipment. Meanwhile, air is introduced to burn the sulfur to generate SO2. The generated SO2 enters the furnace gas cooling and water washing process. The high-temperature furnace gas is first cooled by the furnace gas cooler with circulating cooling water, then cooled and humidified through washing in the scrubber, and then enters the absorption process via the gas-liquid separation tank. The process water used in the water washing tank is recycled, and acidic wastewater is discharged. Fresh water is then replenished for continued use. The wet furnace gas containing SO2 enters the three-stage absorption process, where it reacts with a Na2CO3 solution. The tail gas is treated and discharged through a high stack, and the separated liquid from the gas-liquid separator is returned to the absorber. The resulting NaHSO3 solution enters a storage tank. The core reaction chemical equation of this process is: Na2CO3 + 2SO2 + H2O = 2NaHSO3 + CO2.
