Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of environmental monitoring, and particularly relates to an on-line monitoring device and a use method for condensable particulate matter in waste gas. Background Art

[0002] The emissions of condensable particulate matter (CPM) from industrial source flue gas have exceeded those of filterable particulate matter. The implementation of ultra-low emission transformation has put forward higher requirements for the emissions and monitoring of unconventional pollutants such as CPM and NH3. CPM is a key indicator for the efficient and stable operation of ultra-low emission transformation technology, and its ultrafine particle morphology and complex composition can cause biological toxicity and damage the atmospheric environment.

[0003] At present, the monitoring of CPM mainly relies on the off-line monitoring method of manual sampling and laboratory analysis, and there are few on-line methods that can achieve in-situ and real-time monitoring.

[0004] The off-line methods include dry impact condensation (EPA Method 202) and dilution condensation method. In the dry impact condensation method, CPM condenses in the condensation tube and is collected by filtration with an impact bottle and a filter membrane, resulting in a positive deviation caused by the absorption of components such as SO2. In the dilution condensation method, the rapid dilution and condensation process of simulated flue gas discharged into the atmosphere is simulated. The required dilution chamber is large, heavy, has low condensation efficiency, and has a negative deviation of wall condensation.

[0005] The on-line method saves manpower and material resources, is convenient for remote early warning and emission supervision, and is a technical means urgently needed for CPM monitoring and control. However, the existing on-line CPM equipment is large in size, heavy in weight, high in cost, and poor in portability, which is not conducive to its application in industrial sites. Summary of the Invention

The cell body is provided with a transparent observation window or is entirely made of transparent material to facilitate observing the condition of the condensate and its contact with the pH sensor. The connection between the pH sensor and the detection cell should be sealed and fixed to avoid random changes in the contact conditions between the sensor and the condensate. An air outlet should be provided at the top of the detection cell to ensure the smooth inflow of the liquid.

[0017] The function of the pH sensor is to detect the pH data of the condensate.

[0018] The pH adjustment module includes an alkali solution bottle, a P4 peristaltic pump, a P5 peristaltic pump, a reaction cell, a stirring motor, and an L3 liquid level sensor. Among them, the components in contact with the alkali solution should be made of acid and alkali resistant materials, including the alkali solution bottle, peristaltic pump, motor drive shaft, stirring paddle, reaction cell, and hose. Its function is to adjust the pH of the condensate to a range suitable for the detection of the ammonium ion sensor, avoid damaging the ammonium ion sensor, improve the detection accuracy, and extend the service life.

[0019] The rear end of the alkali solution bottle is connected to the P4 peristaltic pump through a hose. Its function is to store the alkali solution used to adjust the pH of the condensate. The alkali solution can specifically be sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution.

[0020] The P4 peristaltic pump is a high-precision peristaltic pump. Its rear end is connected to a hose to feed liquid into the top of the reaction cell. Its function is to pump the alkali solution into the reaction cell according to the calculated amount of alkali solution.

[0021] The rear end of the reaction cell is connected to the P5 peristaltic pump. There is a drive shaft and a stirring paddle of the stirring motor inside the reaction cell, and an L3 liquid level sensor outside. Its function is to make a quantitative amount of condensate react with a quantitative and known pH alkali solution. The total volume of the two liquids injected into the reaction cell should be less than the total volume that the ammonium ion detection cell can accommodate. The cell body is provided with a transparent observation window or is entirely made of transparent material to facilitate observing the reaction situation between the condensate and the alkali solution, as well as the working condition of the stirring paddle.

[0022] The stirring motor is connected to the stirring paddle inside the reaction cell by a drive shaft. Its function is to slowly start stirring after the inflow of the condensate and the alkali solution into the reaction cell ends, so that the mixed liquid reacts evenly.

[0023] The L3 liquid level sensor corresponds to the liquid level of the reaction cell, which is the volume of the condensate in the reaction cell before adding the alkali solution. Its function is to control the volume of the condensate participating in the reaction in the reaction cell.

[0024] The rear end of the P5 peristaltic pump is connected to the ammonium ion detection cell. Its function is to send the condensate in the reaction cell into the ammonium ion detection cell.

[0025] The ammonium ion detection cell is connected to a P6 peristaltic pump at the rear end. Its function is to be a container for holding the condensate in contact with the ammonium ion sensor. The cell body is provided with a transparent observation window or is entirely made of a transparent material to facilitate observing the situation of the condensate and its contact with the ammonium ion sensor. The connection between the ammonium ion sensor and the detection cell should be sealed and fixed to avoid random changes in the contact conditions between the sensor and the reaction solution. An air outlet should be left at the top of the detection cell to ensure the smooth inflow of the liquid.

[0026] The ammonium ion sensor functions to detect the ammonium ion concentration of the reaction solution.

[0027] The inlet of the P6 peristaltic pump is connected to the liquid outlets of the conductivity detection cell, the pH detection cell, and the ammonium ion detection cell. Its function is to discharge the liquid in each detection cell.

[0028] The inlet of the P7 peristaltic pump is connected to the cleaning solution bottle. Its function is to send the cleaning solution to the cleaning solution inlet of the refrigeration module.

[0029] The cleaning solution bottle functions to store the cleaning solution used to clean the residue in the liquid storage tank, each detection cell, the reactor, and the pipeline. The cleaning solution can specifically be ultrapure water.

[0030] The PLC controller controls the working process of each part of the detection system through a program. The functions of the PLC controller can be realized by using the currently common PLC controllers, such as the Siemens PLC S7-1200 series.

[0031] The present invention also provides a usage method for the above-mentioned portable fixed-source condensable particulate matter on-line monitoring device. The specific process includes:

[0032] (I) On-line measurement

[0033] (1) The flue gas enters through the smoke gun and is transported to the semiconductor refrigeration module 1 for cooling to form condensate.

[0034] (2) Start the P1 peristaltic pump 201, and the condensate is transported by the P1 peristaltic pump 201 to the liquid storage tank 3. The liquid level that meets the detection requirements should exceed the L2 low liquid level sensor 502 and not exceed the L1 high liquid level sensor 501. When the liquid level reaches the L1 high liquid level sensor 501, stop introducing the flue gas and the condensation. The liquid in the liquid storage tank 3 will be sent to the detection cell and the reaction cell. Turn off the P1 peristaltic pump 201.

[0035] (3) Start the P2 peristaltic pump 202. Part of the liquid in the liquid storage tank 3 is sent by the P2 peristaltic pump 202 to the conductivity detection cell 7 and the pH detection cell 9 to detect the conductivity and pH of the liquid respectively. Calculate the volume of the lye required according to the pH value. The working duration of the P2 peristaltic pump 202 is calculated based on the flow rate of the P2 peristaltic pump 202 and the volume of the condensate required in the conductivity detection cell 7 and the pH detection cell 9. When the working duration is reached, turn off the P2 peristaltic pump 202.

[0036] (4) Start the P3 peristaltic pump 203. The remaining liquid in the liquid storage tank 3 is sent by the P3 peristaltic pump 203 to the reaction tank 13. When the liquid level reaches the L3 liquid level sensor 503, stop the liquid inlet and turn off the P3 peristaltic pump 203.

[0037] (5) Start the P4 peristaltic pump 204. According to the calculated volume, the P4 peristaltic pump 204 inputs the lye from the top of the reaction tank 13. Turn off the P4 peristaltic pump 204. Start the motor stirrer 15 to make the two reaction liquids react fully. The total volume of the two liquids input into the reaction tank 13 should be less than the volume that the ammonium ion detection cell 11 can accommodate.

[0038] (6) Start the P5 peristaltic pump 205 to send the reaction liquid to the ammonium ion detection cell 11 to detect the ammonium ion concentration of the reaction liquid. Turn off the P5 peristaltic pump 205.

[0039] (7) After all the conductivity, pH, and ammonium ion sensors have completed the detection, start the P6 peristaltic pump 206 to drain the remaining liquid in each detection cell.

[0040] (8) Calculate the concentration of condensable particulate matter in the stationary source. The calculation formula is:

[0041] C WSI =k1×EC m +b, (1)

[0042]

[0043] Among them, C WSI is the ionic mass concentration in the CPM condensate; EC m is the calculated conductivity processed from the conductivity, pH, and ammonium ion data; k1 and b are the constants of the empirical formula obtained by linear fitting; k2 is the empirical constant; V g is the volume of the condensate; V L is the volume of the flue gas; C CPM is the mass concentration of CPM in the flue gas;

[0044] (II) Pipeline cleaning

[0045] (1) Turn off the semiconductor refrigeration module 1.

[0046] (2) Start the P7 peristaltic pump 207. The cleaning liquid is transported by the P1 peristaltic pump 201 to the cleaning liquid inlet of the refrigeration module 1. The cleaning liquid flows through the refrigeration module 1 and flows out from the liquid outlet. Then turn off the P7 peristaltic pump 207.

[0047] (3) Start the P1 peristaltic pump 201. The cleaning liquid is transported by the P1 peristaltic pump 201 to the liquid storage tank 3. When it reaches the liquid level corresponding to the liquid level sensor 501, turn off the P1 peristaltic pump 201.

[0048] (4) Start the P2 peristaltic pump 202. The cleaning liquid is transported by the P2 peristaltic pump 202 to the conductivity detection cell 7 and the pH detection cell 9. The working duration of the P2 peristaltic pump 202 is calculated based on the flow rate of the P2 peristaltic pump 202 and the volume of the cleaning liquid required by the conductivity detection cell 7 and the pH detection cell 9. The working duration should be the same as that during on-line measurement. When the working duration is reached, turn off the P2 peristaltic pump 202.

[0049] (5) Start the P3 peristaltic pump 203. The cleaning liquid is transported by the P3 peristaltic pump 203 to the reaction tank 13. When it reaches the liquid level corresponding to the liquid level sensor 503, turn off the P3 peristaltic pump 203. Start the stirring motor 15 to clean the stirring paddle 17. Then turn off the stirring motor 15.

[0050] (6) Start the P5 peristaltic pump 205. The cleaning liquid is transported by the P5 peristaltic pump 205 to the ammonium ion detection cell 11. After the transportation is completed, turn off the P5 peristaltic pump 205.

[0051] (7) Start the P6 peristaltic pump 206 to drain the cleaning liquid in each detection cell. The cleaning is completed.

[0052] The start-up, shutdown, and parameter calculation of the above components are all automatically completed and realized by the PLC controller 4. Description of the Drawings

[0101] (III) Example detection results

[0102] To verify the actual monitoring performance of the device of the present invention, the device and the standard method were synchronously measured and compared on-site at fixed pollution sources. The test objects covered the flue gas sampling points of typical emission sources such as coal-fired power plants, iron and steel smelters, and industrial boilers, and the working stability of the portable device in a heterogeneous emission environment was systematically investigated.

[0103] The test data is as Figure 3 shown. The measured values of the device and the standard method have a significant linear correlation (correlation coefficient r = 0.983), and they show synchronous response characteristics during the dynamic change process of the CPM emission concentration. Further analysis shows that the multi-source adaptation algorithm built in the device can effectively eliminate the interference of the CPM component differences of different emission sources on the measurement results by dynamically matching the characteristic parameters of coal combustion flue gas, metallurgical waste gas, and boiler tail gas. At typical test points such as the sintering machine head of the iron and steel plant and the flue after dust removal in the power plant, the absolute deviation between the device and the standard method is less than 15%, verifying its measurement consistency under multi-condition conditions.
