Embodiment 1

[0032] Trona was injected into the flue gas at a temperature of 750F at NSR values ​​of 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4. Figure 2 shows SO as a function of the normalized stoichiometric ratio (NSR) of trona 2 Remove %. From these experiments it can be seen that trona gives about 80% SO at an NSR of 1.2 2 removal rate. Figure 4 shows SO 2 Removal of the perforated plate of the ESP in the glassworks after the system was operated with trona for five months. It can be seen that the panel is relatively free of solids buildup.

Embodiment 2

[0034] As a comparative example, sodium bicarbonate was sprayed under the same conditions as in Example 1 at an NSR of 1.2. The result is shown in Figure 2. 72% SO 2 % SO removal significantly lower than trona at the same temperature and NSR 2 Remove %. Figure 5 shows the operation of SO using sodium bicarbonate 2 Remove the perforated plate of the ESP in the glasshouse after the system. It can be seen that the panel has significant solids buildup.

Embodiment 3

[0036] Trona was injected into the flue gas at a temperature of 750°F to 805°F at an NSR of 1.5. Figure 3 shows SO as a function of flue gas temperature 2 Remove %. From these experiments it can be seen that trona yields up to 91% SO 2 removal rate and is effective over a broad high temperature range.

[0037] From the above experiments it can be seen that the removal of SO from flue gas streams at high temperature 2 Sometimes trona is more effective than sodium bicarbonate. Thus, the system can use less absorbent material than a sodium bicarbonate system to achieve the same sulfur reduction. Furthermore, it can be seen that Trona has good performance over a broad high temperature range. Finally, compared to the system using sodium bicarbonate, SO using trona 2 The removal system has much less solids buildup in the perforated plates of the ESP.

Abstract

A method of removing SO2 from a flue gas stream containing SO2 comprising providing a source of trona and injecting the trona into the flue gas stream. The temperature of the flue gas is from about 600°F to about 900°F. Keep the trona in contact with the flue gas for a sufficient time to allow part of the trona to react with part of the SO2 to reduce the concentration of SO2 in the flue gas stream.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the purification of gases, and more particularly to a method for purifying gases containing harmful gases such as SO 2 way of flue gas. Background technique [0002] Dry sorbent injection (DSI) has been employed to remove SO from flue gas using a variety of absorbents x and other gases. However, DSI has traditionally been performed at temperatures well below 400[deg.]F because equipment materials such as the baghouse media cannot withstand higher temperatures. Additionally, many absorbent materials sinter or melt at temperatures near or above 400[deg.]F, making them less effective at removing gases. The reaction products of many absorbent substances also adhere to equipment and piping at higher temperatures, requiring frequent cleaning of process equipment. In order to operate at these lower temperatures, it is generally necessary to cool the combustion gases prior to injecting the absorbent. This is an undesired a...
