The invention discloses a flue gas circulation system and method for sintering machine flue gas recirculation denitration. The flue gas circulation system is composed of a sintering machine, a branch pipe I, a branch pipe II, regulating valves, a recirculation flue, a recirculation draught fan and a top-suspended flue gas hood. The method comprises the steps that the recirculation draught fan is utilized to extract flue gas in the middle section and the rear section of a wind box of the sintering machine, recirculation flue gas enters the recirculation flue through the branch pipe I and the branch pipe II, enters the top-suspended flue gas hood, and enters a high-temperature combustion zone of a trolley again from the top of the sintering machine, NOx in the flue gas is restored to be N2 through coke, and the NOx is removed. According to the flue gas circulation system and method for the sintering machine flue gas recirculation denitration, on the premise that the combustion mode of the sintering machine and the sinter quality are not changed, the NOx is removed efficiently, the changes to a system are less, the operating cost is low, the operation is simple, convenient and flexible, and the denitration efficiency is high; the flue gas circulation system and method for the sintering machine flue gas recirculation denitration have wide application prospect in the field of sintering machine flue gas denitration.
