Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of calibration systems for online mercury monitoring in mercury-containing flue gas generated from coal combustion or other industries. Specifically, it relates to a renewable HgCl2 standard gas generator and its preparation method, as well as its application in an online mercury monitoring system for mercury-containing flue gas. Further, this HgCl2 standard gas generator serves as a chlorine source, and elemental mercury (HgCl2) is used... 0 As a mercury source, HgCl2 standard gas is generated through a gas-solidification chemical reaction and used in the HgCl2 standard gas calibration module of the mercury online monitoring system. Background Technology

[0002] Mercury is highly toxic, non-degradable, and bioaccumulative, posing serious threats to human health and the natural environment. With the signing and implementation of the Minamata Convention on Mercury, various regions have introduced stricter mercury emission standards, making effective control and real-time monitoring of mercury emissions from coal-fired flue gas or other industrial sources an urgent need.

[0003] Currently, there are three main methods for detecting mercury in industrial mercury-containing flue gas: (1) wet chemical sampling (OHM), (2) adsorption tube offline sampling (EPA Method 30B), and (3) mercury online continuous monitoring system (Hg-CEMS). Among them, the mercury online continuous monitoring system is a complete set of equipment that integrates continuous acquisition and online monitoring of mercury emission concentration in flue gas. It is currently the fastest-developing and most technologically advanced method for monitoring mercury in flue gas. It includes a flue gas sampling pretreatment system, a mercury speciation separation and conversion system, a mercury analysis module, a calibration module, and a data acquisition and transmission module.

[0004] The Hg-CEMS standard gas calibration module system includes Hg 0 Standard gas generator and Hg 2+ The standard gas generator provides a stable supply of Hg to the flue gas pretreatment unit and the mercury detection module. 0 Standard gas and Hg 2+ Standard gas. Providing standard gas to the flue gas pretreatment module to test the reliability and stability of the mercury separation and conversion unit and the thermal dilution unit is called external standard; providing standard gas to the mercury detection module to test the stability and reliability of the mercury analysis optical path detection module is called internal standard. Therefore, the standard gas generator in the Hg-CEMS system becomes a key core technology for effectively ensuring the quality and accuracy control of monitoring data in the Hg-CEMS system.

[0005] Patent CN102500203B discloses a device for generating divalent mercury in simulated flue gas and its application. This device uses a peristaltic pump to evaporate a prepared HgCl2 solution of a certain concentration, which is then mixed with a dilution gas to obtain the desired HgCl2 standard gas. While this method can generate HgCl2 standard gas, it may pose hazards to operators during the preparation and use of the HgCl2 solution. Furthermore, the method is cumbersome, and the concentration of the HgCl2 standard gas is limited by the solution evaporation temperature, making it prone to instability. Patent CN105886796A discloses a device for generating mercury and divalent mercury standard gas based on the saturation principle. This device uses HgCl2 as the starting point for the divalent mercury standard gas. 0 Using mercury as the source and O2, HCl, Cl2, or H2O as the oxidant, Hg is discharged under plasma discharge conditions. 0 It is oxidized to HgCl2 or HgO. Although this invention can produce divalent mercury standard gas at a relatively low temperature, the HgCl2 standard gas contains a large number of impurity gases, which cannot yet meet the technical requirements of Hg-CEMS for HgCl2 standard gas.

[0006] Based on this, the present invention provides a high-purity, low-impurity, continuous and stable HgCl2 standard gas generator and its preparation method, which can meet the technical requirements and applications of HgCl2 standard gas in mercury online continuous monitoring (Hg-CEMS) systems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a high-purity, low-impurity, and continuously stable HgCl2 standard gas generator.

[0008] The second objective of this invention is to provide a HgCl2 standard gas generator that can achieve high purity, low impurities, and continuous stability.

[0009] The third objective of this invention is to provide an application of HgCl2 standard gas generator in an online mercury monitoring system for mercury-containing flue gas.

[0010] One of the technical solutions adopted to achieve the objective of this invention is: to provide a method for preparing a solid HgCl2 generator, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S1. Dissolve the transition metal chloride in water to obtain a solution;

[0012] S2. Add the non-carbon-based carrier material to the solution and mix thoroughly to obtain a mixture;

[0013] S3. The mixture is subjected to filtration and drying processes to obtain HgCl2 generator;

[0014] S4. The expired HgCl2 standard gas generator will be regenerated by low-temperature plasma treatment.

[0015] In the above preparation method, firstly, an aqueous solution of transition metal chloride is prepared; secondly, a non-carbon-based support material is added to the solution to achieve loading of the transition metal chloride. The non-carbon-based support used in this invention has specific properties for loading Hg... 0 The generated HgCl2 is almost non-adsorbed, ensuring high purity and absence of impurities in the produced HgCl2 standard gas. Finally, considering the problem that some metal cations may be loaded in a low-valence form during impregnation, leading to poor oxidation efficiency, this invention modifies the prepared HgCl2 generator using low-temperature plasma under HCl or Cl2 conditions to enhance the efficiency and purity of HgCl2 conversion. During this modification process, low-valence metal cations are oxidized to high-valence metal cations under the action of high-energy electrons. Furthermore, the content of active Cl ions is increased, improving the oxidation effect of the HgCl2 generator.

[0016] Further, in step S1, the mass concentration of the transition metal chloride in the solution is 1 wt.% to 30 wt.%. Preferably, the mass concentration of the transition metal chloride in the solution is 5 to 20 wt.%.

[0017] Further, in step S1, the transition metal chloride is selected from one or more combinations of FeCl3, CuCl2, and MnCl2. Preferably, the transition metal chloride is CuCl2.

[0018] Further, in step S2, the non-carbon-based support material is selected from one or more combinations of porous Al2O3, mesoporous SiO2, TiO2, zeolite, and MCM-41 molecular sieve. Preferably, the non-carbon-based support material is γ-Al2O3 and / or MCM-41 molecular sieve, both of which are more favorable for Hg growth compared to other supports. 0 The mesoporous channels that diffuse with HgCl2 and the high specific surface area allow the active components to be highly dispersed on their surface. More preferably, the non-carbon-based support material is MCM-41 molecular sieve, which has an even higher specific surface area and a more uniform mesoporous channel structure.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S2, the mass-to-volume ratio of the non-carbon-based support material to the solution is 1:(5-20)g / mL. Under the above ratio conditions, it helps to improve the generation efficiency of HgCl2.

[0020] Preferably, in step S2, after the non-carbon-based carrier material is added to the solution, it is placed on a magnetic stirrer and stirred for 4 to 8 hours to fully load it and obtain a mixture.

[0021] Further, in step S3, excess water in the mixture is removed by vacuum filtration to obtain a semi-dry HgCl2 generator; further, the HgCl2 generator is dried at a temperature of 100-110°C for 2-24 hours to obtain a fully dried HgCl2 generator.

[0022] Furthermore, step S3 also includes: using HCl and / or Cl2 as modifying gases to perform low-temperature plasma modification on the HgCl2 generator.

[0023] Furthermore, the low-temperature plasma modification employs dielectric barrier discharge, with a modifying gas concentration of 10–10000 ppm, a modification time of 0.5–60 min, and a discharge power of 5–300 W. Preferably, the modifying gas concentration is 100–10000 ppm, the modification time is 5–30 min, and the discharge power is 30–200 W.

[0024] In this invention, low-temperature plasma is used to generate Cl radicals and active chlorine. Through charge exchange, the valence state of the metal cation is converted from low to high, while the generated active chlorine is loaded onto the support surface, giving it higher reactivity and promoting Hg reactivity. 0 The conversion to HgCl2.

[0025] Further, in step S4, the regeneration uses HCl and / or Cl2 as the regeneration gas, the concentration of the regeneration gas is 100-4000 ppm, the regeneration time is 5-60 min, and the discharge power is 60-400 W.

[0026] The second objective of this invention is achieved by providing a low-temperature plasma-modified HgCl2 generator, wherein the low-temperature plasma-modified HgCl2 generator is prepared by the preparation method described in one of the objectives of this invention.

[0027] The third objective of this invention is achieved by providing an application of a low-temperature plasma-modified HgCl2 generator, which includes applying the low-temperature plasma-modified HgCl2 generator to an online monitoring system for mercury in flue gas from coal combustion or other industries, thereby achieving stable generation of HgCl2 standard gas.

[0028] In some preferred embodiments, the aforementioned HgCl2 standard gas generator is used in the calibration module of the Hg-CEMS system. There are two methods for standard gas calibration of the Hg-CEMS system. The first is to perform internal standard calibration on the Hg-CEMS system, i.e., Hg... 0 The first method involves separately introducing carrier gas into the thermal dilution module and the mercury detection module; the second method involves external standard calibration of the Hg-CEMS system, i.e., Hg... 0The carrier gas undergoes an oxidation reaction with the HgCl2 generator of this invention, converting it into standard HgCl2 gas. The HgCl2 generator provided by this invention does not require the addition of other gases (such as Cl2, Cl2+HCl, HCl, etc.) as a chlorine source during use; HgCl2 can be generated under a pure N2 atmosphere. 0 It exhibits highly efficient oxidation. When used in the Hg-CEMS calibration system, it avoids the influence of additional HCl or Cl2 on the HgCl2 standard gas.

[0029] Furthermore, the HgCl2 generator provided by this invention is also suitable for the stable generation of HgCl2 standard gas in the laboratory.

[0030] Furthermore, the application of the low-temperature plasma-modified HgCl2 generator provided by this invention also includes regenerating the HgCl2 generator through low-temperature plasma treatment. By placing the used and degraded HgCl2 generator under HCl and / or Cl2 conditions and treating it with low-temperature plasma for a certain period of time, its oxidation efficiency can be improved back to the desired level.

[0031] Preferably, during the low-temperature plasma treatment and regeneration process, the concentration of HCl and / or Cl2 is 100–4000 ppm, the power is 60–400 W, and the ventilation time is 5–60 min.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
