Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the most commonly used desulfurization technologies
At present, the commonly used flue gas desulfurization methods at home and abroad can be divided into three types of desulfurization processes: wet, semi-dry, and dry according to whether water is added during the desulfurization process and the dry and wet form of the desulfurization product. 1. Wet desulfurization Advantages: gas-liquid reaction, fast reaction speed, high desulfurization efficiency, generally higher than 90%, mature technology and wide application. The technology is relatively mature, and the production and operation are safe and reliable, accounting for more than 80% of the total installed capacity of desulfurization. Disadvantages: The product is liquid or sludge, which is difficult to handle, the equipment is severely corrosive, the flue gas needs to be reheated after washing, the energy consumption is high, the area is large, and the investment and operating costs are high. The system is complex, the equipment is huge, the water consumption is large, and the one-time investment is high. It is generally suitable for large-scale power plants. Technical route: limestone/lime-gypsum method, indirect limestone-gypsum method, lemon absorption method, etc. 2. Dry desulfurization Advantages: gas-solid reaction, compared with wet desulfurization system, the equipment is simple, the area is small, the investment and operating costs are lower, the operation is convenient, the energy consumption is low, the product is easy to handle, and there is no sewage treatment system. Disadvantages: slow reaction speed, low desulfurization rate, advanced up to 60-80%. The desulfurization efficiency is low, the absorbent utilization rate is low, the abrasion and fouling phenomenon are more serious, the equipment maintenance is more difficult, the stability and reliability of the equipment operation are not high, and the service life is short. Technical route: activated carbon adsorption method, electron beam radiation method, charged dry absorbent injection method, metal oxide desulfurization method, etc. 3. Semi-dry desulfurization Semi-dry desulfurization includes spray drying desulfurization, semi-dry and semi-wet desulfurization, powder-particle spouted bed desulfurization, flue jet desulfurization, etc.. 1. Spray drying method Disperse the absorbent into very small mist droplets by the force of machinery or air flow. The mist droplets and the flue gas form a relatively large contact surface area. A kind of heat exchange, mass transfer and integration between the gas and liquid phases occurs. Desulfurization method of chemical reaction. Commonly used absorbents are lye, lime milk, limestone slurry, etc. At present, most devices use lime milk as absorbent. Under normal circumstances, the desulfurization rate of this method is 65%-85%. Advantages: Desulfurization is carried out in the three-phase state of gas, liquid, and solid. The process equipment is simple. The product is dry CaSO3 and CaSO4, which is easy to handle, has no serious equipment...
