TLDR: In this paper, a multi-stage countercurrent absorption process and system for acidic gas was proposed, where a combination of a Venturi reactor and a rotating packed bed reactor is used as a reaction apparatus which is flexible to operate and has high mass transfer efficiency.

Abstract: The invention provides a multi-stage countercurrent absorption process and system for acidic gas. The absorption process employs a gas-liquid two-phase countercurrent absorption reaction and uses a NaOH solution as an absorption liquid to treat acidic gas so as to produce NaHS. According to the process, a crystallizer and a separator are arranged in a primary reaction and a secondary reaction, and heat is taken out of a reactor; and through filling of the NaOH solution in stages, peak clipping of reaction heat is realized, and local crystallization caused by generation of heat spots is prevented. A combination of a Venturi reactor and a rotating packed bed reactor is used as a reaction apparatus which is flexible to operate and has high mass transfer efficiency. The acidic gas absorption process provided by the invention is simple and can achieve the dual objectives of purification of acidic gas and reclamation of pollutants; and the acidic gas absorption system has the advantages of small scale, low energy consumption and low proneness to obstruction.
