Method for treating hydrogen peroxide oxidized tail gas
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for treating tail gas in a hydrogen peroxide production process, and relates to a method for separating and recovering aromatic hydrocarbon in the tail gas.
Background
The tail gas from the anthraquinone process to produce hydrogen peroxide comes from an oxidation tower, and the aromatic hydrocarbon content in the tail gas reaches 20g/m after the tail gas is condensed (10-20 ℃)3-30g/m3. The aromatic hydrocarbon has strong volatility and is easy to run and damage along with gas phase, and the aromatic hydrocarbon belongs to benzene substances, so the environmental pollution is serious if the aromatic hydrocarbon is not recovered in time. The general treatment method is that the tail gas is firstly condensed by a heat exchanger to most of aromatic hydrocarbon gas, then the pressure of the oxidized tail gas is used as power, the temperature is cooled by an expansion unit, the heavy aromatic hydrocarbon in the tail gas is further condensed and recovered, and the heavy aromatic hydrocarbon is directly discharged after being adsorbed by activated carbon fibers.
Because the liquid drop diameter of the liquid aromatic hydrocarbon carried in the tail gas is very small, usually 1um-l0um, the common condensation-adsorption is adopted to adsorb the aromatic hydrocarbon in the tail gas, besides the gas aromatic hydrocarbon to be adsorbed, the aromatic hydrocarbon in the small drop form also needs to be adsorbed, thus greatly increasing the load of an adsorption device.

In patent CN1973958A, it is described that two adsorption beds filled with adsorbent are used to alternately adsorb and desorb organic matters in tail gas, and the desorption gas uses compressed air or nitrogen to regenerate adsorbent, and then uses existing cooler, absorption tower, spray tower and other equipment to recover aromatic hydrocarbon.
