O_(3)oxidation combined with semi-dry method for simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification of sintering/pelletizing flue gas

With the vigorous development of China's iron and steel industry and the introduction of ultra-low emission policies,the emission of pollutants such as SO_(2)and NO x has received unprecedented attention.Considering the increase of the proportion of semi-dry desulfurization technology in the desulfurization process,several semi-dry desulphurization technologies such as flue gas circulating fluidized bed(CFB),dense flow absorber(DFA)and spray drying absorption(SDA)are briefly summarized.Moreover,a method for simultaneous treatment of SO_(2)and NOx in sintering/pelletizing flue gas by O_(3)oxidation combined with semidry method is introduced.Meantime,the effects of key parameters such as O_(3)/NO molar ratio,Ca SO_(3),SO_(2),reaction temperature,Ca/(S+2 N)molar ratio,droplet size and approach to adiabatic saturation temperature(AAST)on denitrification and desulfurization are analyzed.Furthermore,the reaction mechanism of denitrification and desulfurization is further elucidated.Finally,the advantages and development prospects of the new technology are proposed.

Low-temperature oxidation behavior and mechanism of semi-dry desulfurization ash from iron ore sintering flue gas

The low-temperature wet oxidation behavior of semi-dry desulfurization ash from iron ore sintering flue gas in ammonium citrate solution was investigated for efficiently utilizing the low-quality desulfurization ash. The effects of the ammonium citrate concentration, oxidation temperature, solid/liquid ratio, and oxidation time on the wet oxidation behavior of desulfurization ash were studied. Simultaneously, the oxidation mechanism of desulfurization ash was revealed by means of X-ray diffraction, Zeta electric resistance, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. Under the optimal conditions with ammonium citrate, the oxidation ratio of CaSO_(3) was up to the maximum value (98.49%), while that of CaSO_(3) was only 8.92% without ammonium citrate. Zeta electric resistance and XPS results indicate that the dissolution process of CaSO_(3) could be significantly promoted by complexation derived from the ammonium citrate hydrolysis. As a result, the oxidation process of CaSO_(3) was transformed from particle oxidation to SO_(3)^(2−) ion oxidation, realizing the rapid transformation of desulfurization ash from CaSO_(3) to CaSO_(4) at low temperature. It provides a reference for the application of semi-dry desulfurization ash and contributes to sustainable management for semi-dry desulfurization ash.
