Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of industrial flue gas denitrification equipment, and in particular to an ammonia injection device for a heating furnace. Background Technology
[0002] Nitrogen oxides (NOx) have become one of the major pollutants causing air pollution. NOx in the flue gas of heating furnaces is a key source of pollution in hot rolling mills. The mainstream flue gas denitrification processes are SNCR and SCR. Some heating furnaces have gradually started to use the SCR process. However, this process requires the addition of auxiliary equipment such as forced exhaust devices and catalysts, which involves huge investment and requires continuous maintenance of catalyst consumption and equipment power consumption.
[0003] SNCR technology requires less investment and has a simpler equipment structure, but existing SNCR denitrification technologies have the following problems: Most use ammonia water, which is easier to store and transport, but ammonia water injection efficiency is low: uneven atomization leads to large fluctuations in denitrification rate (60%~80%), and ammonia slip rate >8ppm; the spray gun is easily damaged: the single-channel structure has poor high-temperature resistance, and its lifespan is less than 6 months at high furnace temperatures (>1000℃). If ammonia gas is used, ammonia and air are not easily mixed evenly, resulting in low denitrification efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an ammonia injection device for a heating furnace with high denitrification efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a heating furnace ammonia injection device is provided, including a core tube and an outer tube. The outer tube includes a rear tube, a middle tube and a front tube in sequence along the gas flow direction. The rear tube is coaxially sleeved on the core tube. The rear tube is connected to the ammonia inlet pipe, and the core tube is connected to the air inlet pipe.
[0006] The inner surface of the tube is provided with an annular flow-guiding protrusion, which causes the diameter of the tube to gradually decrease and then gradually increase.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the ammonia injection device for the heating furnace of this utility model, ammonia is used as the raw material. Since the steel plant itself has an ammonia station, storage and transportation problems are avoided, reducing the difficulty and cost of use. Furthermore, in the ammonia injection device for the heating furnace of this utility model, by setting a guide protrusion in the middle tube, the ammonia and air form a swirling flow, making the ammonia and air mix more thoroughly, thereby improving the denitrification efficiency.
