Description

Desulfurization device using microwave and light energy

The present invention relates to a device for removing sulfur oxides (SOx) or hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which are harmful substances containing sulfur, from harmful exhaust gases emitted from industrial boilers, thermal power plants, and the like. The present invention relates to a desulfurization apparatus using a combination of microwave and light energy to decompose and remove sulfur-containing harmful substances in an environmentally friendly manner.

Conventional methods for removing sulfur oxides (SOx) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from harmful exhaust gases emitted from industrial boilers and thermal power plants have been mainly used in wet or semi-dry methods. Reaction and removal in the form of solid or sludge have become mainstream.

In addition, a technique of using light energy in combination with general discharge energy has been attempted, but there is no commercialized case due to the low efficiency of glass and decomposition reaction to sulfur.

As described above, the desulfurization process is generally dominated by a wet method, which is not only dependent on advanced foreign technology, but also has a huge burden of installation and operation costs in terms of location and cost of the desulfurization facility. have.

In addition, since the process is performed at room temperature, energy utilization is also low, and thus a technique capable of treating at high temperature is required. Particularly, in a system in which coal is gasified and combined cycle power generation, there is an urgent need for a process that can desulfurize at a high temperature due to severe corrosion of the gasifier.

In addition, in the case of using a combination of light energy and general discharge energy, the technology merely provides energy to molecules of harmful components and has a low decomposition efficiency because the frequency cannot be changed to resonance energy capable of decomposing molecules. There is this.

The present invention is to solve these problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a desulfurization apparatus using a microwave and light energy that can be desulfurized at a high temperature state to reduce the burden of installation costs and operating costs and to increase energy utilization.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a desulfurization apparatus using a combination of microwave and light energy to facilitate the decomposition by exciting the molecular bonds of harmful components by the resonance frequency.

In order to achieve the above object, the desulfurization apparatus using the microwave and light energy of the present invention has an inlet and an outlet through which harmful gas is introduced and discharged, and a reactor having windows at both ends to allow light energy to pass therethrough, and And a microwave supply device for irradiating microwaves in a frequency variable manner in the reactor, and an optical energy supply device for irradiating light energy in a wavelength variable manner in the reactor.

Hereinafter, a desulfurization apparatus using microwave and light energy according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic view showing a desulfurization apparatus using microwave and light energy according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the desulfurization apparatus using microwaves and light energy according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an inlet 11 and an outlet 12 through which harmful gas enters and exits, and light energy passes through. A reactor 10 having windows 13 and 14 at both ends thereof, a microwave supply device 20 for irradiating microwaves in a variable frequency into the reactor 10, and a frequency in the reactor 10. An optical energy supply device 30 for irradiating optical energy variably is provided.

The reactor 10 is provided with a shield 21 surrounding the outside of the reactor 10 so that the microwave supplied from the microwave supply device 20 is shielded from the outside and irradiated only into the inside of the reactor 10.

Next, the operation of the desulfurization apparatus using the microwave and light energy according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

First, the sulfur-containing harmful substance through the inlet 11 of the reactor 10 in the state that the microwave and light energy is irradiated into the reactor 10 from the microwave supply device 20 and the optical energy supply device 30. Inflow.

Inflow of sulfur oxides (SOx) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can be competitively decomposed into SO and O or HS and S and reactions decomposed into S and O2 or H2 and S. Can be selected.

First, the energy of the frequency that can be resonated to the intermediate excited state through the microwave discharge is investigated, and the energy of the frequency that can be resonated to the complete excited state by the light energy. That is, by selecting and irradiating a frequency that can excite and resonate the binding energy of the hazardous components, only the sulfur-containing harmful substances to be treated require energy, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption.

In addition, since the energy efficiency in the process of sulfur liberation is lower than other processes, high energy is required for the desulfurization process, and it is not only easy to supply all the energy required at a time, but also the selectivity of the device for supplying energy. low. Therefore, there is an advantage of maximizing the efficiency of the decomposition process by using a two-step selective excitation process using microwave energy and light energy as in the present invention.

In addition, there is no need for a large-scale facility such as the conventional wet or semi-dry method, and it is possible to directly process high temperature harmful gas by inflowing, so that the desulfurization process is relatively simple to install and operate. Commercialization as an environmentally friendly process that can reduce the burden on the processing equipment becomes possible.

After the desulfurization is performed, the purified gas is discharged to the outside through the outlet 12 of the reactor 10.

As described above, according to the desulfurization apparatus using the microwave and the light energy, which is an embodiment of the present invention, a reactor, a microwave supply device for irradiating microwaves in a frequency variable manner within the reactor, and an optical energy having a wavelength variable in the reactor Equipped with an optical energy supply device for irradiating light, the molecular bonds of harmful components are selectively excited by the resonance frequency to facilitate decomposition, thereby reducing the burden of operating costs by increasing energy utilization and continuously desulfurizing at high temperatures. Since it can reduce the burden of installation cost is effective.
