It is known that particle accumulation is beneficial for dust removal in industry. In order to understand better particle accumulation mechanism, experiments were carried out to analyze the influence of flue gas temperature and humidity on ash accumulation. It is found that the Engineering Acid Dew Temperature (EADT) of flue gas is an important parameter that determines the efficiency of particle accumulation. When the gas temperature is lower than the EADT, the sulfuric acid in the flue gas and ash humidity rise dramatically, which leads to particle accumulation. In order to improve the collection efficiency, the flue gas temperature can be controlled to trigger particle accumulation.

In order to study the effect of dust removal in the electrostatic precipitator under the influence of change of temperature and air moisture of flue gas, the ultrasonic atomization and electrical heating has been adopted for simulated gas to change its air moisture and temperature. The specific resistance of fly ash of fluidized bed boiler, the V-j characteristics of the precipitator model and the efficiency of dust removal has been tested in gas working conditions. The measured results of dust specific resistance shows that: when the temperature of gas at range of 100°C to 150°C, the specific resistance of dust was lower when the air moisture is at 23.73% than at 5.21%, especially when the gas temperature is below 120°C, the specific resistance of dust reduce more,and it can reach the orders of magnitude at1010Ω·cm when the moisture of 23.73%; then keep the temperature at 150°C and make the moisture increased, the specific resistance of dust is decreased, however it is still more than 1011Ω·cm when the moisture is increased to 23.73%. The measured results of V-j characteristics of the precipitator model shows that: when the moisture keeps at 23.73% and the temperature is below 120°C, the electric field does not occur the phenomenon of anti-corona. The test result of the efficiency of dust removal indicated that: when we make the moisture increased to 23.73% and the gas temperature below 120°C, the efficiency of dust removal shows a significant increase. The results confirmed that we can improve the purification efficiency of high resistivity dust through flue gas humidification and proper temperature maintain.

The research presented by the authors in this paper focused on understanding the behavior of mercury during coal combustion and flue gas purification operations. The goal was to determine the flue gas temperature on the mercury emissions limits for the combustion of lignites in the energy sector. The authors examined the process of sorption of mercury from flue gases using fine-grained organic materials. The main objectives of this study were to recommend a low-cost organic adsorbent such as coke dust (CD), corn straw char (CS-400), brominated corn straw char (CS-400-Br), rubber char (RC-600) or granulated rubber char (GRC-600) to efficiently substitute expensive dust-sized activated carbon. The study covered combustion of lignite from a Polish field. The experiment was conducted at temperatures reflecting conditions inside a flue gas purification installation. One of the tested sorbents—tire-derived rubber char that was obtained by pyrolysis—exhibited good potential for Hg0 into Hg2+ oxidation, resulting in enhanced mercury removal from the flue. The char characterization increased elevated bromine content (mercury oxidizing agent) in comparison to the other selected adsorbents. This paper presents the results of laboratory tests of mercury sorption from the flue gases at temperatures of 95, 125, 155 and 185 °C. The average mercury content in Polish lignite was 465 μg·kg−1. The concentration of mercury in flue gases emitted into the atmosphere was 17.8 µg·m−3. The study analyzed five low-cost sorbents with the average achieved efficiency of mercury removal from 18.3% to 96.1% for lignite combustion depending on the flue gas temperature.

Aimed at cost saving and pollution reduction, a novel desulfurization wastewater evaporation treatment system (DWETS) for handling wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) wastewater of a coal-fired power plant was studied. The system's advantages include simple process, and less investment and space. The feasibility of this system has been proven and the appropriate position and number of nozzles, the spray droplet size and flue gas temperature limitation have been obtained by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The simulation results show that a longer duct, smaller diameter and higher flue gas temperature could help to increase the evaporation rate. The optimal DWETS design of Shangdu plant is 100 μm droplet sprayed by two nozzles located at the long duct when the flue gas temperature is 130 °C. Field tests were carried out based on the simulation results. The effects of running DWETS on the downstream devices have been studied. The results show that DWETS has a positive impact on ash removal efficiency and does not have any negative impact on the electrostatic precipitator (ESP), flue gas heat exchanger and WFGD. The pH values of the slurry of WFGD slightly increase when the DWETS is running. The simulation and field test of the DWETS show that it is a feasible future technology for desulfurization wastewater treatment.

Abstract In this study, a novel swirl combustion modified device for steel slag was designed and enhanced with the objective of achieving highly efficient and clean coal combustion and also for achieving the whole elements utilization of coal. Coal ash and steel slag were melted in the combustion chamber and subsequently entered the slag chamber. The detrimental substances solidified and formed crystals, which allowed for the comprehensive utilization of the ash and slag. Our experiments mainly aimed to mitigate the formation of NOx, while using the heat and slag simultaneously during the coal combustion without a combustion efficiency penalty. The increase in the device’s energy efficiency and reduction in the NOx emissions are important requirements for industrialization. The experiments were carried out in an optimized swirling combustion device, which had a different structure and various coal feeding conditions in comparison to previously reported devices. The fuel-staged and non-staged combustion experiments were compared under different coal ratios (bitumite:anthracite). For the fuel-staged combustion experiments, the NOx concentration in the flue gas was observed to decrease significantly when the coal ratio of 1:1, an excess air coefficient of 1.2, and a fuel-staged ratio of 15:85 were used. Under these conditions, the flue gas temperature was as high as 1,620°C, while the NOx concentration was as low as 320 mg/m3 at 6 % O2. The air-surrounding-fuel structure that formed in the furnace was very beneficial in reducing the formation of NOx. In comparison to other types of coal burners, the experimental combustion device designed in this study achieved a significant reduction of NOx emissions (approximately 80 %).

A mathematical model for flue gas desulfurization using pyrolusite pulp in jet bubbling reactor (JBR) was described. Firstly, based on the concept of two stages mass balance with chemical reaction, two models were set up, for jet bubbling zone and rising bubble zone, respectively, according to the construction of JBR. The models consist of two coupling differential equations and were solved simultaneously by integral and separation of the variables. Then the SO2 absorption efficiency expression was developed, considering the great discrepancy existing between the gas-side mass transfer coefficients of the jet bubbling zone and gas bubble rising zone. The final expression associates SO2 absorption efficiency with process conditions and JBR structure parameters, which can give some instruction and guidance for the study of reactor operation process. Predicted results from the theoretical model, including effect of pH value of the pulp, flue gas temperature and inlet SO2 concentration of flue gas on SO2 absorption efficiency, were found to be in good agreement with experimental data obtained in a jet bubbling reactor. The model provides a basis for the process scale up and operating guide.
