The present invention relates to the field of atmospheric purification, and specifically relates to a catalyst for catalytic reduction of an industrial flue gas SO2 with CO to prepare sulfur, a method for preparing the same and use thereof.
As a colorless and inflammable gas with a pungent odor, SO2 is a major air pollutant with wide distribution and great harm. SO2 is mainly produced by combustion of sulfur coal and petroleum, petroleum refining, non-ferrous metal metallurgy and manufacturing of sulfuric acid. With rapid development of a flue gas desulfurization industry, pollution caused by the industrial flue gas SO2 is effectively controlled, and meanwhile, a large number of desulfurization by-products are also produced. According to different desulfurization processes, the desulfurization by-products mainly include gypsum obtained by using a wet desulfurization process and ash obtained by using a semi-dry desulfurization process. However, as the desulfurization processes have monotonous routes, no enough attention has been paid to disposal and consumption of the desulfurization by-products. In some power plants, the desulfurization by-product gypsum has nowhere to be consumed, and can only be stacked and discarded. As a large number of the by-products are still stacked in the open air, not only are land resources occupied, but also secondary pollution is caused to the environment. In addition, as the desulfurization by-products are not effectively used, waste of resources is caused.
At present, conventional desulfurization methods have relatively mature processes and stable desulfurization efficiency, but serious secondary pollution, equipment corrosion and other problems still exist. Catalytic reduction desulfurization refers to a process of reducing the industrial flue gas SO2 in a flue gas to elemental sulfur with reducing agents such as CO, C, H2, H2S, etc. The flue gas contains a certain amount of the CO. In recent years, with development and application of new sulfur products such as polymerized sulfur, sulfur-coated urea and sulfur cement, the demand for sulfur in industries such as rubber, pesticides, building materials, textiles, chemical engineering, dyes and daily chemicals in China is rapidly increased, and the sulfur is widely used in paving asphalt. At present, the sulfur production in China is far from meeting the demand. Thus, a large amount of the sulfur is imported into China every year. According to a catalytic reduction desulfurization process, not only can the industrial flue gas SO2 be effectively removed, but also secondary pollution cannot be caused by the produced sulfur, the problem of shortage of sulfur resources in China can be solved, and wastes are turned into treasures.
According to an invention patent titled “METHOD FOR PREPARING COMPOSITE CATALYST FOR CATALYTIC REDUCTION OF SO2 WITH CO AND METHOD FOR RECOVERING SULFUR” (with a publication number of CN 107497453A), a method for preparing a composite catalyst for catalytic reduction of SO2 with CO and a method for recovering sulfur are provided. According to the method, a perovskite-type composite catalyst La1-xCexCoO3 (0≤x≤1) is prepared by using a microwave-assisted in-situ carbon template stabilization method. The composite catalyst has high activity stability and can be used for preparing the sulfur with high purity. However, as the elemental sulfur is mixed with the catalyst and then extracted, the method has a complicated process. According to an invention patent titled “CATALYST FOR REDUCTION OF SO2 WITH CO, METHOD FOR PREPARING SAME AND USE THEREOF” (with a publication number of CN 109999804B), a catalyst for reduction of SO2 with CO, a method for preparing same and use thereof are provided. According to the method, a lanthanum oxide and a cerium oxide are doped on the basis of an aluminum oxide carrier, and a certain amount of one or more of a zirconium oxide, an iron oxide, a manganese oxide, a cobalt oxide, a chromium oxide, a zinc oxide and a tin oxide are added to serve as a catalytic promoter. The catalyst has high catalytic activity and sulfur selectivity, but components of the catalyst are complex. The preparation method has a complicated preparation process and low economical efficiency.
