在一座热态循环流化床燃烧试验装置上对石化污泥与煤进行混烧试验,通过对焚烧过程中烟气成分进行分析,着重考察了质量掺混比、二次风率、过剩空气系数和床温对SO₂、NO_x和多环芳烃排放浓度的影响。试验结果表明,随着质量掺混比的增大,SO₂和NO_x的排放浓度下降,而多环芳烃排放浓度呈上升趋势。随着二次风率的增加,SO₂的排放浓度上升,而NO_x的排放浓度呈下降趋势。随着过剩空气系数的增加,SO₂的排放浓度下降,NO_x的排放浓度呈上升态势。随着床温或者过剩空气系数的增加,烟气中多环芳烃排放浓度均呈先下降后上升趋势。综合考虑稳定燃烧和降低污染物排放等因素,得出一系列最佳燃烧参数。燃烧温度应该控制在850～860℃,过剩空气系数应该控制在1.35左右,二次风率应该控制在40%左右,质量掺混比应该控制在30%左右。在本次试验范围内,各工况SO₂、NO_x和多环芳烃的排放浓度均满足国家排放标准。     

基于低温联合脱除的中低温Hg形态转化机理

与其他燃煤污染物联合脱除是解决燃煤汞排放问题的有效手段,促进Hg⁰向Hg²⁺的形态转化可以提高现有污染物控制装置对燃煤汞排放的控制能力。应用汞形态转化实验台,在中低温条件下研究分析Cl₂、SO₂、H₂O以及 NO₂对Hg⁰氧化过程的影响机理,结果表明,中低温条件下,10 μl•L^-1Cl₂可以氧化90%以上的Hg⁰。SO₂对Hg⁰形态转化过程的影响呈现区间性变化,按照SO₂浓度由小到大可划分为3个区间,只有在第（Ⅱ）区间内SO₂浓度才能显著影响Hg⁰的形态转化过程。H₂O与Cl₂反应的生成物HCl可以氧化Hg⁰,但其在中低温条件下氧化Hg⁰的能力弱于Cl₂,使得H₂O的存在抑制了Hg⁰的形态转化。将NO氧化为NO₂后进行脱除是低温条件下联合脱除的重要路线,NO₂在分解过程中释放出自由氧原子可以将Hg⁰氧化为HgO,这增强了低温条件下汞与NO_x联合脱除的技术可行性。     

烟气气相组分及Ca（OH）2对KMnO4氧化NO的影响机理

在固定床反应器中考察了KMnO₄氧化烟气中NO的过程,分析了烟气组分H₂O、O₂及SO₂对NO氧化过程的影响规律,得到了Ca（OH）₂对KMnO₄氧化NO的影响机理。实验结果表明,H₂O是KMnO₄氧化NO的必要条件;在含H₂O条件下,O₂可以提高NO氧化率。SO₂与氧化剂反应生成无水钾镁钒类复盐K₂Mn₂（SO₄）₃对NO氧化具有负面作用;Ca（OH）₂的加入提高了氧化剂表面的固体碱度从而促进氧化过程进行;通过添加Ca（OH）₂可以降低SO₂对NO氧化过程的负面影响。根据气体成分和产物分析可知,KMnO₄在钙基吸收剂表面氧化烟气中NO的机理可能是KMnO₄以离子态将吸附在氧化剂表面的NO和SO₂氧化为NO₂和SO₃,生成的NO₂、SO₃再传递到氧化位临近的碱性位被吸收。

基于NiO载氧体的煤化学链燃烧实验

采用流化床反应器并以水蒸气作为气化-流化介质,研究了以NiO为载氧体在800～960℃内的煤化学链燃烧反应特性。实验结果表明,载氧体与煤气化产物在反应器温度高于900℃体现了高的反应活性。随着流化床反应器温度的提高,气体产物中CO₂的体积浓度(干基)呈单调递增;CO、H₂、CH₄的体积浓度(干基)呈单调递减;煤中碳转化为CO₂的比率逐渐递增,碳的残余率逐渐递减。反应器出口气体CO₂、CO、H₂、CH₄的生成率随反应时间呈单峰特性,H₂生成率的峰值远小于CO的峰值;且随反应器温度升高,CO₂生成率升高,CO、H₂、CH₄的生成率降低。反应温度高于900℃时,流化床反应器NiO载氧体煤化学链燃烧在9 min之内就基本完成,CO₂含量高于92%。     

O2/CO2气氛下煤燃烧SO2/NO析出特性

在水平管式炉上研究了O₂浓度、CO₂浓度、温度及石灰石添加等各参数对O₂/CO₂气氛下徐州烟煤和龙岩无烟煤燃烧过程中SO₂/NO排放特性的影响。结果发现,O₂/CO₂气氛下,烟煤和无烟煤燃烧SO₂/NO的析出规律与空气气氛下不同,同等O₂浓度下析出量比空气气氛下小。O₂/CO₂气氛下,随着O₂浓度的提高,烟煤和无烟煤SO₂/NO排放量均增大;随着CO₂浓度的升高, SO₂/NO排放量均减小。O₂/CO₂气氛下,石灰石添加对SO₂排放的抑制作用低于空气气氛下;石灰石添加对NO的排放有一定减排作用。对煤灰的元素分析显示O₂/CO₂燃烧对SO₂的抑制主要是由于煤灰的自固硫能力增强,而对NO的减排作用则是促进燃料N向其他含N气体的转换。

NO<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript> emission from incineration of organic liquid waste in a circulating fluidized bed

An incineration test of a toxic chemical organic waste liquid was conducted on a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) incinerator. The flue gas was measured online with the advanced SAE-19 flue gas analyzer. The effects of several factors, in terms of flow rate of waste liquid, ratio of waste liquid injected into dense bed of the CFB, excess air coefficient, the secondary air fraction and bed temperature on NO _x emissions, were verified. The experimental results show that NO emissions in flue gas increase with increase in the flow rate of the waste liquid injected into the bed or the excess air coefficient or the bed temperature and those decrease with increase in the ratio of waste liquid injected into the dense bed of the CFB or the secondary air fraction. During the test runs, NO _x concentration in flue gas met the national regulation on NO _x emissions due to suppressive effect of low temperature and staged combustion in CFB on NO _x formation. This paper was presented at the 6 ^th Korea-China Workshop on Clean Energy Technology held at Busan, Korea, July 4–7, 2006.     

Analysis of the behaviour of pollutant gas emissions during wheat straw/coal cofiring by TG-FTIR

The behaviour of pollutant gas emissions during the firing of wheat straw and coal blends was examined experimentally by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Typical anthracite coal and wheat straw in central China were selected in this study. The ratio of coal to wheat straw by mass was set as 10:90, 15:85, 40:60 and 60:40 and the firing was carried using simulated air with oxygen and nitrogen gases. The emission characteristics of gas pollutants such as HCl, SO₂, CO₂ and NO_x were determined by coupled Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements. The results showed that HCl, SO₂, CO₂ and NO_x emissions were closely related to the volatile combustion and char reacting stages. HCl emission was mainly released during the volatile combustion at the temperature between 220 and 450 °C. The profiles of HCl against temperature exhibit a single-peak, and the HCl peak occurred at 310 °C for all blends no matter what the ratio. The emission profiles of SO₂, and NO_x against temperature had the characteristic of two peaks. The first peak occurred around 320 °C for all blends, and however the second peak shifted towards higher temperatures as the coal content was increased in the blends. The study showed that combining the straw and coal can produce better emission control by reducing the magnitude of the peak releases. The analysis showed that the blended sample with 40% coal and 60% straw by mass produced the lowest levels of HCl, NO_x and SO₂ gas emissions. The CO₂ emission was mainly produced in the char combustion stage and purely increased with the carbon content in the blends.     

Impacts of acid gases on mercury oxidation across SCR catalyst

A series of bench-scale experiments were completed to evaluate acid gases of HCl, SO₂, and SO₃ on mercury oxidation across a commercial selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst. The SCR catalyst was placed in a simulated flue gas stream containing O₂, CO₂, H₂O, NO, NO₂, and NH₃, and N₂. HCl, SO₂, and SO₃ were added to the gas stream either separately or in combination to investigate their interactions with mercury over the SCR catalyst. The compositions of the simulated flue gas represent a medium-sulfur and low- to medium-chlorine coal that could represent either bituminous or subbituminous. The experimental data indicated that 5–50 ppm HCl in flue gas enhanced mercury oxidation within the SCR catalyst, possibly because of the reactive chlorine species formed through catalytic reactions. An addition of 5 ppm HCl in the simulated flue gas resulted in mercury oxidation of 45% across the SCR compared to only 4% mercury oxidation when 1 ppm HCl is in the flue gas. As HCl concentration increased to 50 ppm, 63% of Hg oxidation was reached. SO₂ and SO₃ showed a mitigating effect on mercury chlorination to some degree, depending on the concentrations of SO₂ and SO₃, by competing against HCl for SCR adsorption sites. High levels of acid gases of HCl (50 ppm), SO₂ (2000 ppm), and SO₃ (50 ppm) in the flue gas deteriorate mercury adsorption on the SCR catalyst.     

Effects of operational parameters on emission performance and combustion efficiency in small-scale CFBCs

A well-designed CFBC can burn coal with high efficiency and within acceptable levels of gaseous emissions. In this theoretical study effects of operational parameters on combustion efficiency and the pollutants emitted have been estimated using a developed dynamic 2D (two-dimensional) model for CFBCs. Model simulations have been carried out to examine the effect of different operational parameters such as excess air and gas inlet pressure and coal particle size on bed temperature, the overall CO, NO_x and SO₂ emissions and combustion efficiency from a small-scale CFBC. It has been observed that increasing excess air ratio causes fluidized bed temperature decrease and CO emission increase. Coal particle size has more significant effect on CO emissions than the gas inlet pressure at the entrance to fluidized bed. Increasing excess air ratio leads to decreasing SO₂ and NO_x emissions. The gas inlet pressure at the entrance to fluidized bed has a more significant effect on NO_x emission than the coal particle size. Increasing excess air causes decreasing combustion efficiency. The gas inlet pressure has more pronounced effect on combustion efficiency than the coal particle size, particularly at higher excess air ratios. The developed model is also validated in terms of combustion efficiency with experimental literature data obtained from 300 kW laboratory scale test unit. The present theoretical study also confirms that CFB combustion allows clean and efficient combustion of coal.     

Experimental investigation of NOx emissions in oxycoal combustion

This work presents the results of an experimental investigation on NO_x emissions from coal combustion in a pilot scale test facility. Three oxidiser atmospheres have been compared, namely air, CO₂/O₂, and O₂ enriched recirculated flue gas. NO_x emissions from two different combustion modes have been studied, swirl flame and flameless combustion. The influence of the burner oxygen ratio and the oxidiser O₂ concentration on NO_x formation and reduction have been analysed. With increasing burner oxygen ratio, an increase of NO_x emissions has been obtained for air and CO₂/O₂ in both, swirl flame and flameless combustion. In case of the swirl flame, flue gas recirculation leads to a reduction of NO_x emissions up to 50%, whereas in case of flameless combustion this reduction is around 40% compared to CO₂/O₂. No significant impact of the oxidiser O₂ concentration in the CO₂/O₂ mixture on NO_x emissions is observed in the range between 18 and 27 vol.% in swirl flames. An analysis of NO_x formation and reduction mechanisms showed, that the observed reduction of NO_x emissions by flue gas recirculation cannot be attributed to the reduction of recirculated NO_x alone, but also to a reduced conversion of fuel-N to NO.     

Modelling of CO2, CO, SO2, O2 and NOx emissions from the oxy-fuel combustion in a circulating fluidized bed

The paper presents a model of coal combustion in air and oxygen-enriched CFB environment. A computer program to calculate the CO₂, CO, SO₂, NO_x and O₂ emissions from the combustion of solid fuels in a circulating fluidized bed boiler was created. The validity of this program was verified by measurements on a 0.1MW_th OxyFuel-CFB Test Rig.The calculations have been carried out for air and so-called oxy-fuel conditions, i.e. when combustion runs in a gas mixture based on O₂ and N₂, with various fractions of oxygen.The comparison between measured and predicted by model CO, SO₂, NO_x and O₂ emissions is shown in this paper. The results of the calculation showed, that the kinetic equations of some reaction have to be modified. Authors propose to use the reaction surface area instead of the specific internal surface area of char in rate constant formulas as the combustion nature changes from internal-kinetic to external-diffusion controlling regime.     

Removal of elemental mercury from simulated coal-combustion flue gas using a SiO2–TiO2 nanocomposite

A novel silica–titania (SiO₂–TiO₂) nanocomposite has been developed to effectively capture elemental mercury (Hg⁰) under UV irradiation. Previous studies under room conditions showed over 99% Hg⁰ removal efficiency using this nanocomposite. In this work, the performance of the nanocomposite on Hg⁰ removal was tested in simulated coal-fired power plant flue gas, where water vapor concentration is much higher and various acid gases, such as HCl, SO₂, and NO_x, are present. Experiments were carried out in a fix-bed reactor operated at 135 °C with a baseline gas mixture containing 4% O₂, 12% CO₂, and 8% H₂O balanced with N₂. Results of Hg speciation data at the reactor outlet demonstrated that Hg⁰ was photocatalytically oxidized and captured on the nanocomposite. The removal efficiency of Hg⁰ was found to be significantly affected by the flue gas components. Increased water vapor concentration inhibited Hg⁰ capture, due to the competitive adsorption of water vapor. Both HCl and SO₂ promoted the oxidation of Hg⁰ to Hg(II), resulting in higher removal efficiencies. NO was found to have a dramatic inhibitory effect on Hg⁰ removal, very likely due to the scavenging of hydroxyl radicals by NO. The effect of NO₂ was found to be insignificant. Hg removal in flue gases simulating low rank coal combustion products was found to be less than that from high rank coals, possibly due to the higher H₂O concentration and lower HCl and SO₂ concentrations of the low rank coals. It is essential, however, to minimize the adverse effect of NO to improve the overall performance of the SiO₂–TiO₂ nanocomposite.
