Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental protection equipment technology, and in particular to an activated carbon adsorption device for removing mercury from flue gas. Background Technology
[0002] Particulate mercury in flue gas is mainly concentrated in fly ash. Therefore, solid mercury in flue gas in the form of larger particles can be 100% removed by electrostatic precipitators. However, a large amount of solid mercury is adsorbed into submicron-sized particles, which are difficult for general electrostatic precipitators to capture. Bag filters have unique advantages in removing fine dust and can remove about 70% of mercury. Wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) devices can remove most of the water-soluble Hg2+ in flue gas, but hardly remove the water-insoluble Hg0. Through improved wet FGD treatment, catalysts such as palladium and carbon-based substances are used to convert Hg0 in flue gas into Hg2+, thereby improving the mercury removal rate of wet FGD. Systems that simultaneously install electrostatic precipitators and wet FGD devices achieve an average mercury removal rate of 50% (4%–88%). SCR technology can not only effectively control NOx emissions but also effectively promote Hg0 oxidation.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent (authorization announcement number CN207520825U) disclosing a mercury removal device for flue gas using activated carbon adsorption. This device includes an adsorption tower with a lower flue gas inlet and an upper flue gas outlet, and an activated carbon adsorption device built into the tower. When flue gas enters from the lower inlet and exits from the upper outlet, it passes through the mercury removal device. The device has a circular cross-section in the middle and Y-shaped ends. The device includes a support body with numerous permeable pores and activated carbon adsorbent material, which is filled into the inner cavity of the support body. This patented technology offers convenient maintenance, a small footprint, a large specific surface area, high adsorption rate, and effectively reduces operating costs.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned device still has some drawbacks in actual use. The most obvious one is that when the staff needs to feed the activated carbon adsorbent into the device, the height of the adsorption tower requires the use of ladders or other climbing equipment, which not only increases the difficulty of feeding but also increases the risk of workers climbing to the height to feed. In addition, the device detects whether the activated carbon adsorbent has reached saturation by manually opening the detection port, which requires frequent manual opening of the discharge port, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If the manual detection is not timely, it will affect the mercury removal effect of the flue gas. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0031] Reference Figure 1-4An activated carbon adsorption device for mercury removal from flue gas includes a base 4, an adsorption tower 1 mounted on top of the base 4, three supports 13 fixedly connected inside the adsorption tower 1, a feed box 10 fixedly connected to the top of the adsorption tower 1, the top ends of the supports 13 extending into the feed box 10, a feeding assembly inside the feed box 10, a feeding pipe 2 fixedly connected to the top of the adsorption tower 1 and located on one side of the adsorption tower 1, a conveying box 3 fixedly connected to the outside of the feeding pipe 2, a servo motor 8 fixedly mounted on the top of the feeding pipe 2, a conveying auger 17 rotatably mounted inside the feeding pipe 2, and the output shaft of the servo motor 8 extending into the feed pipe 2. The feed pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the conveying auger 17. A conveying frame is fixedly connected to the top of the outer side of the feed pipe 2. When it is necessary to feed the activated carbon adsorbent, the activated carbon adsorbent can be placed into the feed box 3. Then, the servo motor 8 is started. The rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor 8 drives the conveying auger 17 to rotate. In this way, the conveying auger 17 can be used to transport the activated carbon adsorbent at the bottom to a higher position. Through the setting of the feed assembly, the activated carbon adsorbent is transported into the support body 13. Through the above structure, the purpose of feeding the activated carbon adsorbent can be achieved. In the feeding process, the operation space for manual feeding is reduced and the feeding efficiency is improved.
[0032] Specifically, the feeding assembly includes a switching channel 16 located at the top of the feed box 10. A butterfly plate 12 is rotatably mounted inside the switching channel 16. The feeding assembly also includes a servo motor 11 fixedly mounted on the outside of the feed box 10. The output shaft of the servo motor 11 extends into the switching channel 16 and is fixedly connected to the rotation shaft of the butterfly plate 12. Rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor 11 drives the butterfly plate 12 to rotate, thereby opening or closing the switching channel 16 to facilitate the feeding of activated carbon adsorbent. A monitoring component is installed inside the support body 13. The monitoring component includes... The system includes a PID sensor 14 fixedly installed inside the support body 13, a controller 5 fixedly installed on the top of the base 4, and three alarm lights 9 fixedly installed on the outside of the adsorption tower 1. Through the function of the PID sensor 14, the concentration and composition of VOC waste gas can be monitored in real time, thereby judging the adsorption effect and saturation state of the activated carbon. When the adsorption concentration of the activated carbon adsorbent material is lower than the preset value of the PID sensor 14, the information will be transmitted to the controller 5, and the controller 5 will control the alarm lights 9 outside the adsorption tower 1 to start, thus timely reminding the staff without the need for frequent manual testing, saving time and effort.
[0033] Specifically, the conveying box 3 is internally connected to the feeding pipe 2. The inner wall of the conveying box 3 is provided with an inclined surface to facilitate material discharge. The inclined surface facilitates the entry of activated carbon adsorbent into the feeding pipe 2. The end of the conveyor frame away from the feeding pipe 2 is close to the switch channel 16. A baffle plate 15 is fixedly installed inside the adsorption tower 1 and between the three supports 13. A gas distributor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the adsorption tower 1. Under the action of the gas distributor and the baffle plate 15, the activated carbon adsorbent can be evenly adsorbed. The top of the adsorption tower 1 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 7. The bottom of the adsorption tower 1 is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 6. The feed pipe 6 and the discharge pipe 7 work together to allow the flue gas to enter the adsorption tower 1 and to facilitate the discharge of the purified flue gas from the adsorption tower 1. The bottom of the adsorption tower 1 is fixedly connected to the support base, which is welded to the top of the base 4. The support base makes the adsorption tower 1 more stable when placed. The bottom of the support body 13 is provided with a threaded cap. The threaded cap makes it easy to discharge the saturated activated carbon adsorbent material in the support body 13. The discharge pipe 7 passes through the inside of the feed box 10.
[0034] Working principle: First, the activated carbon adsorbent material can be placed into the conveying box 3. Then, the servo motor 8 is started by the controller 5. The rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor 8 drives the conveying auger 17 to rotate, so that the activated carbon adsorbent material at the bottom can be conveyed to a higher position by the conveying auger 17. At the same time, the servo motor 11 is controlled. The rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor 11 drives the butterfly plate 12 to turn, thereby opening the switch channel 16, so that the activated carbon adsorbent material is conveyed into the support body 13, and then the switch channel 16 is closed.
[0035] After the preliminary work is completed, the flue gas can be fed into the adsorption tower 1 through the feed pipe 6. Under the action of the gas distributor and the baffle plate 15, it can be evenly adsorbed by the activated carbon adsorbent. When the adsorption concentration of the activated carbon adsorbent is lower than the preset value of the PID sensor 14 (model: PID-AH2), the information will be transmitted to the controller 5, and the controller 5 will control the alarm light 9 outside the adsorption tower 1 to start, so as to remind the staff in time. There is no need for frequent manual detection, saving time and effort. Finally, the purified flue gas will be discharged through the discharge pipe 7.
