TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of solid-liquid mixed sample heavy metal online monitoring, in particular to a desulfurization tower slurry trace element online monitoring system and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The wet flue gas desulfurization technology is mature, suitable for large-capacity units, and has the advantages of stable system operation, wide adaptability to coal types and unit load changes, fast desulfurization reaction speed, and comprehensive utilization of desulfurization by-products such as gypsum. It is widely used in coal-fired power plant units. A large number of chemical reactions occur in the wet flue gas desulfurization system, the composition of the absorption liquid is complex, and the recirculation of the gypsum slurry can lead to the enrichment of some trace elements. This concentration can affect the normal operation of the desulfurization system, causing a decrease in desulfurization efficiency. In addition, a large amount of trace elements in the absorption liquid can enter the environment with the discharge of desulfurization gypsum and wastewater, becoming an environmental safety hazard. Online monitoring of the content of trace elements in the limestone slurry entering the desulfurization tower and the absorption liquid in the desulfurization tower can monitor the stability of the desulfurization tower operation. When the content of trace elements is abnormal, an early warning is given, and the management personnel can timely adjust and control to prevent the problem from worsening. At the same time, when problems such as bubbling and slow reaction occur in the desulfurization tower, online monitoring of the content of trace elements can provide a basis for determining the cause of the problem.
[0003] Currently, online monitoring technology for trace elements in water and solids is being gradually developed. X-ray fluorescence method is widely used in the detection of element content in solid samples, and has the advantages of simple operation, fast scanning speed, wide linear range, good stability, and high analysis efficiency. The X-ray fluorescence method has a portable monitoring device and is mainly used for solid detection. There is no online monitoring technology using this method for solid-liquid mixed samples. The absorption liquid and limestone slurry in the desulfurization tower are solid-liquid mixed samples, which have complex composition and are difficult to digest. In order to further meet the specific application requirements of online monitoring of trace elements in the absorption liquid and limestone slurry in the desulfurization tower, it is necessary to establish a more emerging and reliable real-time online monitoring technology.
