专利说明:

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and a regeneration plant of catalysts with a metallic active principle, used for the denitrification of fumes containing nitrogen oxides. During the incineration, for example, of household waste, biomass or sewage sludge, combustion fumes contain an appreciable amount of harmful elements, such as hydrogen chloride (HCI) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), as well as dust, heavy metals and organic compounds, such as dioxins, furans or coplanar aromatic compounds. These fumes also contain nitrogen oxides. Before being discharged into the atmosphere, the fumes resulting from the combustion must be purified. It is usual, for technological reasons, to carry out the denitrification operations separately from the elimination of other pollutants. Several technologies are available to perform denitrification. Among them, catalytic denitrification, SCR (anagram of the English expression "selective catalytic reduction"), occupies a place of choice, both for its performance in denitrification, as for its ability to also treat dioxins and furans. In this technology, the fumes to be purified pass through a unit containing a catalytic reactor having a typically metallic active ingredient, such as metal oxides, for example vanadium or tungsten oxides, this catalytic reactor promoting the reduction of oxides of nitrogen by reaction with ammonia or other reagent.
[0002] In its usual form, care must be taken to protect the catalyst against a number of poisons and avoid the formation of salts, such as ammonium bisulfate, which foul the exchangers and the catalyst. This SCR denitrification can be placed upstream or downstream from other units that purify fumes from other harmful components they initially contain, such as dust and sulfur oxides.
[0003] The denitrification can be chosen at a relatively high temperature, for example between 250 and 350 ° C, or at a relatively low temperature, for example between 170 and 250 ° C. A constraint of this denitrification process is that the reagent usually used reacts with the sulfur oxides still present at this level and can deposit salts such as sulphite, sulphate, bisulfite or ammonium bisulfate, which block the pores of the catalyst. Other salts, for example metal chlorides, may also be deposited. In addition, fumes can also carry poisons, such as arsenic or phosphorus, which deactivate the catalyst. Finally, organic compounds, resulting from the combustion at the origin of the fumes, can also be deposited and harm the catalyst. The SCR Denitrification Unit can be placed upstream of other units that remove dust and acid gases, such as filters and scrubbers, from a location where the temperature is still high, saving heaters and exchangers otherwise necessary. On the other hand, the untreated fumes still contain a large amount of dust, which makes it necessary at least to select a catalyst with a more open channel and practically forbids the use of a catalyst in granules. In addition, the content of sulfur oxides, SO2 and SO3, still important, can aggravate the risk of depositing salts on the catalysts. For this reason, it is often chosen to place the SCR denitrification unit downstream of the scrubbers and filters. Two options are available: work at a rather high temperature, for example between 250 and 350 ° C, or ben rather low, for example between 170 and 250 ° C. If operating at relatively high temperature provides additional safety vis-à-vis poisoning or salt deposition, it is necessary to raise the temperature of the fumes, since that where the aforementioned washers operate, for example to 65 ° C, or the aforementioned filters, for example between 120 and 200 ° C, up to the service temperature of the SCR denitrification. Such a rise in temperature requires the installation of heat recovery exchangers, which are expensive and themselves subject to fouling by salt deposition. Operating at low temperatures makes it possible, at the cost of a higher volume of catalyst, to save the recuperative heat exchangers and leads to lower investments, but makes the catalyst more sensitive to poisons. In all cases, the loss of activity of the catalyst, progressive and more or less rapid, remains unavoidable. It is therefore necessary to carry out regular regeneration of the catalyst. These regenerations are often performed offline and several corresponding techniques are employed. In practice, this regeneration can be carried out in specialized plants after dismantling and transport of the catalyst modules of the SCR denitrification unit. This regeneration is carried out in particular by blowing or washing the catalyst, followed by drying. US 6,484,733, US 5,308,810, US 6,241,826 and WO 2000/01483 describe in detail such regeneration methods. Online regeneration, by a purely thermal process, has also been proposed by EP-2 422 877. In all cases, it is often necessary to regenerate the catalyst chemically, by re-impregnation with a solution containing the active ingredient of the catalyst. , for example vanadium, in order to restore enough activity to the regenerated catalyst.
[0004] It is also possible to regenerate by heating in situ, that is to say by isolating one or more catalyst modules within the SCR denitrification unit and then raising the temperature of this or these modules. But this is often not enough, without re-impregnation with the aforementioned ad hoc solution, to give enough activity to the catalyst. On the other hand, it is quite common that denitrification catalysts are, in use, exposed to organic compounds, for example fatty acids or aromatic compounds. Because of the catalyst use temperatures for denitrifying fumes, these compounds can be partially pyrolyzed. As a result, the catalyst develops a frankly hydrophobic character and that its pores can be partially clogged: the regeneration of the catalyst by re-impregnation or washing is then compromised because the solutions used wet poorly and do not penetrate into its pores . The object of the present invention is to provide a regeneration process of a denitrification catalyst, which is more efficient, while being easy to implement. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a process for the regeneration of a denitrification catalyst with a metallic active principle, in which the following sequences are successively carried out: a dust extraction sequence, in which the catalyst to be regenerated is mechanically freed from dust and / or salts deposited on the catalyst; a heating sequence, in which the catalyst is brought to a temperature of between 300 and 550 ° C. so as to destroy by oxidation and / or to desorb organic compounds adsorbed on the catalyst; a re-impregnation sequence, in which the catalyst is brought into contact with a solution containing the metal or metals of the active principle of the catalyst; and a drying and / or calcination sequence in which the catalyst is heated to a temperature of at least 140 ° C for at least two hours. Thus, the invention overcomes the difficulties of the prior art, described above, by proposing that a catalyst to be regenerated be first dedusted and then subjected to a temperature rise of between 300 and 550 ° C., before after cooling, it is subjected to the chemical action of a re-impregnation solution containing the metallic active ingredient of the catalyst, and then dried and / or calcined. One of the ideas underlying the invention is to ensure that the catalyst to regenerate the benefit of the chemical action of the re-impregnation solution, by heating it beforehand so that the organic compounds, which have been adsorbed on the catalyst during its use and whose catalyst has not been removed by the mechanical action of its dedusting, are desorbed or destroyed by oxidation. In other words, by virtue of this heating sequence, the hydrophobic character of the catalyst to be regenerated, resulting from the presence of these organic compounds, is corrected and the re-impregnation solution is allowed to penetrate the catalyst into its pores. In practice, the heating sequence is easily integrated between the dedusting sequence and the re-impregnation sequence, advantageously being implemented using commonly available equipment, such as a furnace or a flow of hot air. According to additional advantageous features of the regeneration process according to the invention, taken alone or in any technically permissible combination: during the heating sequence, the catalyst is brought to a temperature of between 300 and 550 ° C. for at least less than thirty minutes; between the heating sequence and the re-impregnation sequence, a washing sequence is used in which the catalyst is washed with water or with a basic solution containing neither sodium nor potassium; during the dedusting sequence, air or dry steam is blown through the catalyst; during the heating sequence, the catalyst is brought to a temperature of between 300 and 550 ° C. inside an oven; during the heating sequence, the catalyst is brought to a temperature of between 300 and 550 ° C. by circulating heated air in the catalyst; the catalyst to be regenerated is based on vanadium, and the solution used during the re-impregnation sequence contains a vanadium salt, at a concentration of between 3 and 10 g / l, expressed in vanadium, and at a pH between 2.5 and 4.5; during the drying and / or calcination sequence, the catalyst is dried in ambient air and is then heated to at least 140 ° C. in an oven or an oven. The subject of the invention is also a regeneration plant for a denitrification catalyst with a metallic active principle, comprising at the same time: dusting means, which are adapted to mechanically remove the catalyst to be regenerated from dust and / or salts deposited on the catalyst, - heating means, which are adapted to carry the catalyst from the dedusting means, at a temperature between 300 and 550 ° C so as to destroy by oxidation and / or desorb organic compounds adsorbed on the catalyst, re-impregnation means, which are adapted to bring the catalyst, coming from the heating means, into contact with a solution containing the metal or metals of the active principle of the catalyst, and drying means and / or calcination, which are adapted to carry the catalyst from the re-impregnation means at a temperature of at least 140 ° C for at least two o'clock. According to an optional feature of this installation, the latter further comprises washing means, which are suitable for washing with water or with a basic solution, containing neither sodium nor potassium, the catalyst which comes from the heating means and which is sent to the re-impregnation means. The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to FIG. 1, which is a flowchart showing sequences of a regeneration method according to the invention. .
[0005] In FIG. 1 are represented five time sequences 51 to S5, to which a catalyst to be regenerated is successively subjected, being implemented by an ad hoc installation. In practice, the catalyst to be regenerated is in structured form, such as in monoliths, for example in channels or in honeycombs, a plate form or a form associating plates between which a sinusoidal wall is interposed, and this in a non-limiting way. The catalyst to be regenerated comprises a substrate, for example titanium oxide, for example, and a metal active ingredient, in particular an oxide or a mixture of metal oxides, for example a vanadium oxide, such as V205, or an oxide of tungsten, such as W03, without limitation. This catalyst is, as such, known to those skilled in the art as a SCR denitrification catalyst. According to the process of the invention, the catalyst is first subjected to the so-called dust removal sequence 51. This dedusting can be achieved by blowing, with air or dry steam, hot or cold, or in any other way. For this purpose, the installation for implementing the method comprises, for example, blowing nozzles. In all cases, this dedusting is provided to remove, by mechanical action, the catalyst from most of the dust and non-strongly adhering salts, which are deposited on this catalyst: failing to be removed, these deposits would be detrimental to catalyst activity and could interfere with subsequent sequences of the regeneration process.
[0006] The dedusting sequence Si can be conducted in situ, that is to say while the catalyst is left in place in the SCR denitrification unit where it normally operates to denitrify fumes, or ex situ, it is that is, the catalyst has previously been removed from its denitrification unit.
[0007] According to the invention, the catalyst derived from the Si sequence is then carried, in the S2 sequence, in an oxidizing medium, such as air, at a temperature sufficient to desorb or oxidatively destroy the organic compounds which are adsorbed therein. These organic compounds accumulate as and when the catalyst service and are a barrier, by their hydrophobicity, the penetration of a chemical regeneration solution into the pores of the catalyst. It is important to understand that without this S2 heating sequence, the following sequences of the regeneration process would be carried out while a hydrophobic environment exists on the catalyst and would prevent a regeneration solution, such as that described later in this document. S4 sequence, to reach the pores and sites to reactivate the catalyst, which would deprive the catalyst of the benefit of the following sequences, including the sequence S4. It will be understood that the heating sequence S 2 should raise the temperature of the catalyst to a sufficiently high value to desorb or oxidize / burn the organic compounds, but not high enough to damage the catalyst, for example by sintering or changes in crystalline phases. This temperature must be between 300 ° C and 550 ° C, preferably being applied to the catalyst for at least thirty minutes. To implement the heating sequence S2, the above-mentioned plant comprises an oven, within which the catalyst is placed to be heated, or a device that circulates heated air through the catalyst. Optionally, the catalyst resulting from the sequence S2 is, after cooling, subjected, during the sequence S3, to a washing with water, which aims to eliminate soluble salts, for example sulphates, which could interfere with the following sequences. This washing also reduces the contamination of the regeneration liquor resulting from the implementation of the following sequence S4, and facilitates reuse or recycling. In place of water, it is possible to use a basic solution in that it contains neither sodium nor potassium. An ammoniacal solution or ammonium carbonate is suitable. To implement the washing sequence S3, the aforementioned installation comprises a tank, a pump and spray nozzles, or a dip tank.
[0008] According to the invention, the catalyst, which is derived from the washing sequence S3 or which is directly derived from the heating sequence S2 and cooled, is then subjected, in the S4 sequence, to contact with a liquid solution containing metal salts of the active ingredient of the catalyst, for example vanadate or metavanadate for the case of the vanadium catalyst. This re-impregnation sequence S4, which, alone, is known per se, is for example made by streaming the aforementioned solution, hot or cold, into the catalyst channels, or by soaking the catalyst in a bath of this solution. The aforementioned installation comprises for this purpose a tank, a pump and spray nozzles, or a dip tank. This S4 re-impregnation sequence generally lasts between one and six hours. By way of example, in the case where the catalyst to be regenerated is a vanadium catalyst, the solution used is a solution of ammonium vanadate, at a pH of between 2.5 and 4.5 and at a concentration of 3 to 10 g / I expressed in vanadium. According to the invention, the catalyst resulting from the S4 sequence is finally subjected to the so-called S5 drying and / or calcination sequence. The purpose of this sequence S5 is to restore the catalyst to its mechanical strength and, where appropriate, to convert into active oxides the metal salts of the active ingredient, for example the vanadium salts, deposited on the catalyst during the sequence S4. The sequence S5 may comprise steps carrying, by ramps and steps, the catalyst at various temperatures, always below 550 ° C. By way of example, the catayser can be carried first at 110 ° C. for two to eight hours, then at a temperature of between 400 and 550 ° C. for two to four hours. Further drying / calcining steps are possible, for example by first allowing the catalyst to dry in ambient air, before heating it, or by subjecting it to a temperature ramp. The essential thing is that at the end of this S5 sequence, the catalyst is perfectly dry and solid and that the active ingredient is in its final form. At least, during this sequence S5, the catalyst is heated to a temperature of 140 ° C. for two hours. This being so, the adequate temperature, which may be greater than 140 ° C, and the adequate duration, which may be greater than two hours, are those which ensure that, at the end of the S5 sequence, the metals deposited on the catalyst during the re-impregnation sequence S4 are in their active form of oxides. In order to implement the S5 drying and / or calcination sequence, the aforementioned installation comprises, for example, an oven, an oven or a device able to circulate hot air through the catalyst. At the end of the S5 sequence, the catalyst is ready for re-use within a SCR denitrification unit.
