Abstract

Abstract:

The SO₃ produced by high temperature combustion and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst in the furnace can seriously damage equipment and operational safety. In this study, the SO₃ absorption performance of four alkaline adsorbents, Ca(OH)₂, Mg(OH)₂, NaHCO₃ and NaHSO₃, was investigated under simulated flue gas conditions. In addition, the effect of flue gas atmosphere and temperature on the SO₃ adsorption capacity of the preferred adsorbents was studied. The decomposition process of the adsorbent was analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis, and the morphological structural properties of the adsorbent before and after the reaction were compared. The results showed that both NaHCO₃ and NaHSO₃ adsorbents had good absorption effects at medium and high temperatures. NaHCO₃ and NaHSO₃ improved the pore structure of the adsorbent by releasing gas products during their own decomposition and SO₃ absorption, which improved the absorption effect of the adsorbent for SO₃. SO₂in the flue gas competed with SO₃ in the adsorption process on NaHCO₃ adsorption, reducing the absorption effect of NaHCO₃ for SO₃. SO₂ as a product of the reaction of NaHSO₃ for SO₃ absorption could be inhibited the absorption of SO₃ by the adsorbent. SO₂ as a reaction product of SO₃ absorption by NaHSO₃ would inhibit the absorption of SO₃ by the adsorbent. SO₂ inhibited the reaction of SO₃ absorption by NaHSO₃, resulting in a more dense pore structure of NaHSO₃ and a rapid decrease in the absorption effect for SO₃. This study provided some theoretical basis and reference for the control of SO₃ emissions by in-flue injection of alkaline sorbents.

摘要：

炉膛内高温燃烧和选择性催化还原（SCR）催化剂产生的SO₃会严重损害设备和运行安全。本研究在模拟烟气条件下考察了Ca(OH)₂、Mg(OH)₂、NaHCO₃、NaHSO₃四种碱性吸附剂对SO₃的吸附性能，并研究了烟气气氛和温度对优选吸附剂的SO₃吸附能力的影响。采用热重分析研究了吸附剂的分解过程，对反应前后的吸附剂形貌结构特性进行了研究。结果表明：NaHCO₃和NaHSO₃两种吸附剂在中高温下都具有良好的吸附效果；NaHCO₃和NaHSO₃在自身分解和吸附SO₃的过程中释放气体产物而改善了吸附剂孔隙结构，提高了吸附剂对SO₃的吸附效果；烟气中的SO₂与SO₃在NaHCO₃上的吸附过程中存在竞争吸附，降低了NaHCO₃对SO₃的吸附效果；SO₂作为NaHSO₃吸附SO₃反应的产物，会抑制吸附剂对SO₃的吸附；SO₂抑制了NaHSO₃吸附SO₃的反应，导致NaHSO₃孔隙结构更加密集，对SO₃的吸附效果快速下降。本研究为烟道内喷射碱性吸附剂控制SO₃排放提供了一定的理论基础和参考。
