Lesson63Shewasnotamused她并不觉得好笑 GeoffreyHampdenhasalargecircleoffriendsandisverypopularatparties.Everybodyadmireshimforhisfinesenseofhumor--everybody,thatis,excepthissix-year-olddaughter,Jenny.Recently,oneofGeoffrey"sclosestfriendsaskedhimtomakeaspeechataweddingreception.Thisisthesortofthingthat在生产过程中因停电可使黄磷生产全面停滞。电炉不再进行生产,炉温降低,冷凝塔水循环及喷淋系统停顿,炉气直接外排。电炉处于“停电保温”状态。在此时,需在炉内加入过量焦炭,不再加入磷矿石和硅石,利用焦炭自热保温,在来电后继续生产。若停电时间超过3天,则全面停炉检修,排出物料。一般情况下,工厂停电前,将由电力部门提前通知厂方,作好准备。在有准备的情况下,电炉污染物排放量较小。但此时,由于炉温较低,外排火炬不能燃烧,将有一定量的CO排放。电炉在突然停电后,电炉内温度也逐渐降低,当炉温降低至一定限度时,电炉内的化学反应便趋于停止,电炉烟气亦趋于停止产生。根据昆明中轻依兰集团公司多年的生产实践,因停电时产生的非正常烟气排放,一般在停电后的30分钟内产生。这种事故时污染排放情况如表4-12。表4-12黄磷电炉突然停电事故时排放情况事故频率排放持续时间F排放量P2O5排放量排放高度(m)2次/年0.5小时/次26(kg/次)2300kg/次30由于工厂供电外线是由晋宁普照寺11万降压站降至35KV,用专线架设至厂区配电站,供电距离8km。供电线路采用双回路供电直接架设,因此工厂突然停电事故的频率较低。同时,设计时考虑在黄磷电炉顶部设80m3的高位贮水池,停电后可在一段时间内自动喷水洗涤炉气。在电炉降温后,烟气产生量较少,可采用磷炉水封方式封闭烟气,使之在一定程度上减少炉气非正常排污。4.5.2生产废水的非正常排放生产废水中含有元素磷、氰化物、氟化物等有毒有害物质,若发生事故排放将造成较严重的污染后果。根据众多黄磷生产厂家的运行经验,在正常情况下可做到黄磷废水封闭循环不外排。但由于生产管理及多方面的原因,可能出现总排废水中含有元素磷等有毒污染物的事故性排污。a.管理不善造成排污
