Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the removal of sulfur oxides from flue gases.
  • the prior art has recognized two distinct processes for the removal of sulfur oxides from gases: scrubbing with lime or neutralization with sodium alkalis.
  • scrubbing with lime or neutralization with sodium alkalis The use of a lime slurry for direct dry scrubbing in a quench reactor results in the vaporization of the slurry water and the formation of dry salt reaction products.
  • the effluent stream leaving the quench reactor contains the reaction products (salts of acid gases), unreacted reagent, particulates and unreacted gases.
  • This scrubbing is typically conducted at low stack temperatures.
  • the efficiency of lime slurry neutralization utilizing economic levels of reagent is relatively low, typically on the order of 70 to 80 % SO ⁇ capture and neutralization.
  • the present invention stems from the discovery that the efficiency of SO ⁇ removal in a lime slurry neutralization process can be increased to over 90% by the interposition of a dry venturi between the quench reactor and the baghouse without resorting to a reduction of temperature close to the dew point.
  • the calcium based reagent used in the quench reactor is doped.
  • the dry venturi allows the filter cake in the baghouse to be accumulated to a sufficient depth such that the baghouse functions as a secondary (fixed bed) reactor.
  • the filter cake contains unreacted reagent due to the normal excess reagent fed to the system. This unreacted reagent neutralizes the residual acid gases flowing through the baghouse.
  • the filter cake (dry reaction products) accumulated in the baghouse is substantially non-tacky.
  • the cake buildup in the baghouse may be severalfold over that which can be tolerated in prior art processes. This in turn makes it possible to extend the duration between cleaning cycles to as much as 50 times that of conventional processes. This increase in cycle time permits the accumulation of a fixed bed cake in the baghouse.
  • the invention comprises a method for the removal of sulfur oxides from a gaseous stream with greater efficiencies than conventional processes.
  • the method avoids the necessity for dangerous conditions of operating a baghouse at a temperature close to the dew point.
  • the gaseous stream containing sulfur oxides is introduced into a quench reactor and is contacted with a calcium-based reagent containing between about 3 to 30% by weight of a hygroscopic alkaline metal cation salt, based on the total weight percent of the calcium compound in the reagent.
  • a calcium-based reagent containing between about 3 to 30% by weight of a hygroscopic alkaline metal cation salt, based on the total weight percent of the calcium compound in the reagent.
  • Such salts include CaCl 2 , MgCl 2 , FeCl 3 , MnCl 2 , ZnCl 2 , CrCl 2 , CdCl , Fe0 2 .
  • the effluent stream from the reactor contains particulates, salts of acid gases containing unreacted reagent, and residual acid gases.
  • the effluent stream flows through a dry venturi.
  • a separate stream containing sorptive material and/or fly ash from the baghouse product stream is introduced into the dry venturi to contact the effluent stream to remove submicron particulates therefrom.
  • the effluent stream from the dry venturi flows into a separator where the solids in the stream are collected and form a filter cake.
  • the acid gases in the stream have interfacial contact with the cake and a substantial portion of the SO ⁇ entering the separator is neutralized.
  • the total SO ⁇ removed from the gaseous stream is at least 90%.
  • FIG. 4 is a process flow diagram of a system embodying the invention. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • the process of the present invention results in a capture and neutralization efficiency of SO ⁇ removal from a flue gas stream of at least 90% and generally greater than 95%.
  • This capture and neutralization efficiency can be achieved at a doped calcium reagent feed rate on the order of one to three times the stoichiometric amount based on the inlet gas content of hydrochloric acid and sulfur oxides.
  • the reaction of the SO ⁇ occurs sequentially in a quench reactor, in a dry venturi and in a separator which preferably comprises a baghouse.
  • the dry reaction products are accummulated in the baghouse to form a filter cake which functions as a fixed bed reactor.
  • the efficiency of the baghouse is nonreproducible with efficiencies ranging from 9% to 41.5% (Fig. 1) .
  • the statistical average efficiency is of the order of 25% with little or no variation as a function of the residual (the ratio of unreacted lime to the quantity of S0 2 after the spray drier).
  • the spray drier efficiency must be a minimum of 67% based on the statistical average efficiency of the baghouse.
  • the spray drier should have an efficiency, continuously, of 70% or greater.
  • a flue gas having a content of 1500 PPM S0 2 is introduced into a quench reactor 10 at a temperature of between about 148 to 235°C and at a flow rate of 150,000 ACFM at 204°C.
  • the quench reactor 10 comprises a pretreat ent zone 12, a throat 14 and a reaction chamber 16.
  • This quench reactor is disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,293,524 which patent is incorporated by reference in its entirety in this disclosure.
  • the flue gas flows tangential ly into the pretreatment zone 12 which has a cone-shaped inner surface. The larger particulates in the stream are removed by centrifugal force and then dropped from the zone 12.
  • the flue gas passes through the throat 14 and into the reaction chamber 16 where it is contacted with a lime slurry.
  • the lime slurry has a composition of 2000 PPH Ca(OH) 2 in 36 GPM water and is doped with CaCl 2 in an amount of 20% weight based on the weight of CaO in the slurry.
  • the amount of slurry and rate of introduction is such that 65 to 80% of the SO ⁇ is neutralized.
  • the reaction products are entrained in the effluent stream, which stream has a composition of 300-500 PPM S0 2 and the stream is discharged from the reactor 10 at a temperature of between 98 to 105°C.
  • submicron particulates including sulfuric acid
  • limestone targets introduced from a source 22.
  • Equivalent targets include alkaline bypass waste from Portland cement manufacture, crystalline phonolites or syenites, recycled fly ash, or other similar crystalline materials.
  • the effluent stream from the venturi then proceeds to a conventional baghouse 24 such as a reverse air bag filter, for example available from American Air Filter or Research Cotterell.
  • a conventional baghouse 24 such as a reverse air bag filter, for example available from American Air Filter or Research Cotterell.
  • This stream having a composition of 200-350 PPM S0 2 enters the baghouse 24 at a temperature of between 95 to 105°C.
  • the solid product from the baghouse 22 is transported to a filter 24, such as a rotary filter, where water equivalent to the system quench reactor requirement (s) is added to dissolve the calcium chloride or equivalent salt in the fly ash.
  • the insoluble calcium product is discharged as a cake .
  • the filtrate or solution is transported from the filler 24 to a hydrated lime mixing tank 26 for recycle into the system.
  • substantially increased residence time of the solids in the baghouse is achieved. It has been found where conventional cleaning cycles for a shaker or reverse air baghouse range from 5 to 30 minutes, the dry venturi action prior to the baghouse increases this cycle time from 4 to 8 hours. Where the conventional pulse jet cleaning cycle is normally 1 to 4 minutes, the dry venturi action prior to the baghouse, increases the cycle time to 30 minutes to 2 hours. This increase in the cycle time permits the accumulation of a fixed bed cake on the bags (or other substrate) with no increase in the pressure drop in the baghouse. The cake contains unreacted reagent due to the normal excess reagent fed to the system.
  • the efficiency of SO ⁇ removal, for the dry venturi and baghouse including the calcium chloride doping ranged from 45 to 100% for eight tests conducted with an average SO ⁇ removal efficiency of 80.8% from the inlet of the dry venturi to the outlet from the baghouse. More specifically with fly ash at 2 GR/DSCF and reagent having a composition set forth above and inlet S0 2 in the range of 1500 PPM the following results were obtained.
