Abstract

In addition to a sulphur-containing material (4) to be burned and an oxygen-containing gas (5), a pulverous calcium or magnesium hydroxide (6) is fed, in excess proportion to the sulphur dioxide gas produced into the combustion chamber of the furnace (1), and water (9) or steam is sprayed separately into the flue gases (8) containing calcium oxide or magnesium oxide either in the furnace or into the flue gases leaving the furnace. Alternatively and preferably, the pulverous hydroxide (6') can be fed directly into the flue gases leaving the furnace (1), either in a flue gas conduit (7) or in a reactor (2) downstream of it, where the hydroxide is activated by means of water (9) or steam. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION A process for removing gaseous sulphur compounds, particularly sulphur dioxide, from the flue gases of a furnace The present invention relates to a process for removing gaseous sulphur compounds, and especially sulphur dioxide, from the flue gases of a furnace which burns sulphur-containing fuels, such as coal or oil.
It is already known to decrease the sulphur dioxide content of the flue gases of a furnace by feeding calcium oxide, calcium carbonate or some other alkaline compound into the combustion chamber of the furnace. In a fluidized-bed furnace with a circulating bed it is possible by means of a calcium addition to decrease the sulphur dioxide content of the flue gases by as much as 90% when the furnace is operating within the temperature range which is optimal for the chemical reactions, i.e. 800-1000"C. The sulphur dioxide thus absorbed leaves the furnace in the form of gypsum, along with the fly ash.
In other furnaces, in which it is necessary to use temperatures higher than those mentioned above and in which the retention time of the additive is short due to the nature of the combustion, it is to be expected that the decrease in the sulphur dioxide content of the flue gases would remain substantially lower, about 50% or less, and therefore this process has not been applied on an industrial scale to such furnaces.
On the other hand, it is known that the sulphur dioxide content of flue gases can be decreased by various absorption processes outside the furnace. One such process, known perse, is the so-called semi-dry process, in which the flue gas emerging from the furnace is led into a separate reactor, into which an aqueous slurry of calcium hydroxide is sprayed in the form of small droplets through specific nozzles. The reactor is typically a rather large vessel, in which the velocity of the flue gases is allowed to decrease and the aqueous slurry is sprayed downwards from the upper part of the vessel. The temperature of the reactor is at this time about 50-80 C, and the control of the spraying of the aqueous slurry of calcium hydroxide is very important, since drops which are too large will remain as liquid on the bottom of the reactor.The density of the aqueous slurry of calcium hydroxide should be maintained so high that the heat content in the flue gases would evaporate the water entering the reactor, so that the adsorption product can be recovered in the form of dry powder. By this process, it is possible to remove as much as 90% of the sulphur dioxide. The disadvantages of the process include the tendency of the nozzles to become clogged, the need for an additional preparing and batching apparatus for the aqueous slurry of calcium hydroxide, which raises the investment costs, and the problem of controlling the drop size during spraying.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a process for removing gaseous sulphur compounds, such as sulphur dioxide, from the flue gases of a furnace, by means of which the gaseous sulphur compounds can be converted to solid sulphur compounds which can easily be separated from the gases and thereby effectively removed from the flue gases of the furnace in a simple and economical manner.
According to the invention, there is provided a process for removing gaseous sulphur compounds, particularly sulphur dioxide, from the flue gases of a furnace, comprising the steps of (a) feeding to said furnace, in addition to sulphur-containing material to be burned and an oxygencontaining gas, a pulverous material comprising an alkali metal hydroxide and/or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, and/or feeding said pulverous material into the flue gases leaving said furnace, (b) separately feeding water and/or steam into said furnace and/or said flue gases leaving said furnace, and finally (c) separating from the flue gases a solid reaction product containing alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal sulphate and possibly sulphite.
In the process according to the present invention, a material which reacts with gaseous sulphur compounds, and particularly with sulphur dioxide, and water are fed into the process separately, whereby the problems of preparing, handling and feeding in a slurry are avoided.
The basic idea of the invention is thus that the hydroxide is fed into the flue gases in the form of powder and is activated only in situ in the flue gases by means of water and/or steam, whereupon it reacts with sulphur dioxide or other gaseous sulphur compounds to form a sulphate/sulphite mixture which can thereafter be effectively removed from the flue gases by conventional physical ash separation methods.
A pulverous hydroxide may be fed into the combustion chamber of the furnace, and/or into the flue gases emerging from the furnace, in accordance with the sulphur content of the fuel in such a way that the amount of alkali and/or earth alkaline metal in the molar ratio in accordance with the reaction formula, is at least the equivalent to the sulphur; preferably, however, it is greater than the amount necessary for the reaction. By feeding hydroxide in the form of powder separately into the combustion chamber of the furnace, or into the flue gas conduit for flue gases leaving the furnace, it is possible to use simple feeding devices, e.g.
pneumatic devices, so that the clogging of the nozzles and the need to use additional preparing and batching devices for an aqueous slurry are avoided. Contrary to this, the feeding of water and steam through nozzles is uncomplicated and easy.
The feeding of water or steam into the flue gases is in practice carried out in the temperature range 50-800 C, preferably within the temperature range 90-200 C. If it is desired to recover the absorption product substantially in the form of dry powder, water is used in the spraying step only in such an amount that the thermal energy of the flue gases suffices to evaporate it.
The invention is described below in greater detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, which depicts diagrammatically an apparatus suitableforcarrying outthe process according to the invention.
In the drawing the furnace in general is indicated by reference numeral 1. The sulphur-containing material 4 to be burned, an oxygen-containing gas 5, and a pulverous calcium and/or magnesium hydroxide 6, are fed into the combustion chamber of the furnace 1 ,the pulverous material preferably being fed in an amount in excess in proportion to the sulphur dioxide gas produced in the combustion chamber. By the expression "in excess" is meant in this context that the amount of the calcium or magnesium compound, or calcium and magnesium compounds, is greater than would in theory be needed, according to the reaction formula, to react with all of the sulphur fed into the combustion chamber in the fuel.
The hydroxide fed into the furnace is first dehydrated in the furnace to oxide. The oxide, for its part, can react with the sulphur dioxide, first forming sulphite and thereafter on oxidation, sulphate. Owing to the short retention time in the furnace, only part of the oxide has time to react with the sulphur dioxide at a temperature sufficiently high for the reaction to take place, and for this reason flue gases 8 containing calcium oxide and/or magnesium oxide and which contain combustion residue and steam, and also unabsorbed sulphur dioxide, leave the combustion chamber of the furnace through a flue gas conduit 7.
In practice the temperature of the flue gases 8 is so low that the reaction between the calcium and/or magnesium oxide and sulphur dioxide is relatively weak, and under such conditions, the oxides can be regarded as inactive in terms of sulphur removal. When the temperature of the flue gases decreases, the oxides may react with the steam present in the flue gases and be reconverted to hydroxide. It is therefore preferable to feed the pulverous hydroxide directly into the flue gas conduit 7 or into a reactor 2 downstream thereof. In addition, the flue gases 8 can be used in a heat exchanger 12 to preheat the air 5 to be fed into the furnace 1.
The sulphur dioxide-containing flue gases emerging from the combustion chamber of the furnace 1, which contain calcium and/or magnesium oxide and possibly calcium and/or magnesium hydroxide, are thereafter directed into the reactor 2. In order to activate the oxide and/or hydroxide, water or more steam is sprayed at 9 into the flue gases in the reactor 2, and this water or steam reacts with the calcium and/or magnesium oxide and forms the respective hydroxide, activating it and also activating any hydroxide which may already be present in the flue gases. The hydroxide for its part reacts with the sulphur dioxide still present in the flue gases 8, thereby forming the respective sulphite, which, in the presence of oxygen, at least in part further oxidizes to the respective sulphate.The amount of water 9 fed into the reactor 2 is adjusted to so low a value that the heat of the flue gases 8 suffices to evaporate the water so fed. Thereupon, the substantially dry, fly ash-like reaction poduct can be removed, in the same manner as other ash, in a conventional ash separator 3, from which the flue gases 11 are further directed into a flue 13 and the separated dust 12 is directed to possible further treatment.
The order in which the water and the hydroxide are added is in no way critical. Thus, it is possible, for example, to feed the water or steam into the furnace and the pulverous hydroxide only at a point subsequent to the furnace, either into the flue gas conduit 7 or into the reactor 2 downstream of it.
One of the further advantages of the present invention is that the process can be applied to a furnace provided with any type of burner. The size of the furnace is not a restricting factor, and it is not necessary to circulate the calcium and/or magnesium hydroxide inthe combustion chamber, whereby the expensive circulating-bed alternative with its complicated circulation devices, and at the same time the excessive dust due to its principle of operation and also the need for dust separation are avoided. Compared with the already known spray method, the spraying of water or steam into the reactor 2 is, moreover, considerably less complicated and easier to implement than when using a slurry which clogs the nozzles and is difficult to mix.
The invention is illustrated by the following examples: Example I Coal having a sulphur content of 1.4% by weight is fed at a rate of 70 tn/h into a 600 MW pulverized-coal furnace, operating at full capacity. An excess of combustion air is fed in, so that the oxygen content in the flue gases is 4% by volume.
Crude calcium hydroxide having a calcium hydroxide content of 90% is fed into the furnace at a predetermined varying proportion with respect to the amount of sulphur entering the furnace in the fuel. The theoretical equivalent amount is about 2.5 tn/h of the said calcium hydroxide.
Calcium hydroxide and water and/or steam are sprayed into the flue gases either in the flue gas conduit or in a separate reactor located at a point downstream of the flue gas conduit.
In terms of energy economy, it is most advantageous to increase the moisture content of the flue gases by spraying water into them in a separate reactor located at a point subsequent to all heat recovery surfaces.
The increased moisture content of the flue gases makes the calcium hydroxide highly reactive, whereupon it reacts rapidly with the sulphur oxides present in the flue gases. The higher the moisture content of the flue gases upon leaving, the more effectively is the sulphur dioxide removed from the flue gases. In terms of energy economy it is, however, advantageous to operate in such a way that the heat released in the chemical reactions will suffice to evaporate the amount of water added. If it is desired to raise the final temperature of the flue gases, this may be done either by using external heat or by means of a warm flue gas flow.
The results obtained are given in Table 1 below, which shows as a percentage how much sulphur dioxide was removed from the flue gases when varying amounts of calcium hydroxide were fed into the furnace in accordance with the present invention; the amounts of the calcium hydroxide added are indicated as molar proportions of the calcium content of the pulverous calcium hydroxide to the sulphur content of the fuel fed into the furnace. The temperatures of the flue gases were measured immediately prior to the feeding point of the water or steam, except at 800 C, at which temperature the water or steam was fed directly into the furnace.

Calcium-magnesium hydroxide and water and/or steam are fed into the flue gases either in the furnace or in a separate reactor located at a point subsequent to the furnace.
The increase in the moisture content makes calcium hydroxide in particular highly reactive, whereupon it rapidly reacts with the oxides of sulphur present in the flue gases. If the molar ratio of the calcium contained in the calcium hydroxide to the sulphur present is at least 1, reaction occurs primarily between the calcium hydroxide and the oxides of sulphur, whilst the magnesium hydroxide, being slower, passes through the reaction zone substantially unchanged.
If the calcium-magnesium hydroxide is fed into hot flue gases, the consequence may be either that the magnesium hydroxide breaks down into magnesium oxide and water or that the entire calcium-magnesium hydroxide breaks down into calcium oxide and magnesium oxide and water. In this case each oxide can as such react with the oxides of sulphur and, when the flue gases cool and the moisture content increases, reform hydroxide, which further reacts with the oxides of sulphur. If the molar proportion of the calcium to the sulphur is at least 1, the reaction results and conditions are substantially in accordance with the corresponding values in Table 1, owing to the ability of the calcium compound to react more rapidly.
