Simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification of flue gas by pre-ozonation combined with ammonia absorption

doi:10.1016/j.cjche.2020.05.001

摘要/Abstract

摘要： A process of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification of flue gas was conducted in this study. The flue gas containing 200 mg·m^-3 NO, 1000-4000 mg·m^-3 SO₂, 3%-9% O₂, and 10%-20% CO₂ was first oxidized by O₃ and then absorbed by ammonia in a bubbling reactor. Increasing the ammonia concentration or the SO₂ content in flue gas can promote the absorption of NO_X and extend the effective absorption time. On the contrary, both increasing the absorbent temperature or the O₂ content shorten the effective absorption time of NO_X. The change of solution pH had substantial influence on NO_X absorption. In the presence of CO₂, the NO_X removal efficiency reached 89.2% when the absorbent temperature was raised to 60 °C, and the effective absorption time can be maintained for 8 h, which attribute to the buffering effect in the absorbent. Besides, both the addition of Na₂S₂O₃ and urea can promote the NO_X removal efficiency when the absorbent temperature is 25 °C, and the addition of Na₂S₂O₃ had achieved better results. The advantage of adding Na₂S₂O₃ became less evident at higher absorbent temperature and coexistence of CO₂. In all experiments, SO₂ removal efficiency was always above 99%, and it was basically not affected by the above factors.
