Definitions

  • the invention relates to reducing the environmental damage caused by large-scale combustion, and provides both improved processes and improved compositions for achieving this, especially in the field of NO ⁇ reduc ⁇ tion by selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) in the gas phase.
  • SNCR selective noncatalytic reduction
  • Carbonaceous materials including the typical hydro ⁇ carbon fuels such as coal, oil and gas, as well as refuse, are burned in increasing amounts each year.
  • nitrogen oxides (NO ⁇ ) formation is greatly increased because the conditions favor formation of free radicals of oxygen and nitrogen and their chemical combination as nitrogen oxides.
  • both primary and secondary measures have been employed.
  • Primary measures are those which modify combustion itself and may involve using an excess of air or fuel or a combination of both in staged combustion. However, such measures tend to produce undesirable levels of carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide.
  • the water must be evaporated from the droplets and the active agent converted to the gas phase to achieve contact with the NO ⁇ molecules in the temperature range effective for reaction, e.gr. , from 900" to 1050"C.
  • the temperature range effective for reaction e.gr. , from 900" to 1050"C.
  • the engineer must deal with high turbulence, high gas velocities, and high temperature gradients both parallel with and transverse to the direction of bulk gas flow.
  • all of these parameters are subject to change with changes in combustion rate (e.g., load). This complex set of conditions greatly frustrates the need to introduce the active agents uniformly, but with rapid release in confined spaces.
  • Effective and economical reaction in the gas phase depends on good droplet size distribution to achieve good mixing of reducing agents with the effluent gases. Incomplete or non-uniform mixing can cause a number of adverse results including poor chemical utilization, the release of ammonia into the atmosphere, and damage to equipment through corrosion or the formation of deposits on heat exchange and other surfaces by direct chemical impingement and precipitate formation. Moreover, if the fuels contain significant amounts of sulfur, ammonia can react with the sulfur and form solid ammonium sulfate and/or bisulfite which deposit on heat exchange surfaces and can quickly reduce heat transfer efficiency.
  • the SNCR process described by Lyon in U.S. Patent 3,900,554 reduces the concentration of nitrogen monoxide (NO) in combustion gases.
  • Lyon discloses injecting ammonia or certain ammonia precursors or their aqueous solutions into an oxygen-rich waste gas for selective reaction with the nitrogen monoxide at a temperature in the range of from 870" to IIOO'C.
  • the limiting values of the window can be reduced by the addition of certain substances.
  • Distribution of the ammonia within the combustion effluent is critical to achieving maximum utilization of the ammonia and reduction of NO within the defined temperature window. Ineffective utilization will increase costs and cause other problems associated with ammonia discharge.
  • Bowers discloses in U.S. Patent 4,719,092 that an additional material, an oxygen- containing hydrocarbon, can be injected together with an aqueous urea solution to reduce residual ammonia concentration in the effluent. Despite the added material, distribution and droplet size distribution remain important.
  • Chawla et al describe a nozzle which enables injection of a two-phase mixture of air and aqueous NO ⁇ -reducing composition into an effluent at sonic velocity to achieve an improved distribution of particle sizes, but could also benefit from such an additive.
  • Another object is to mitigate utilization and distribution problems normally associated with SNCR processes.
  • the invention provides a process for improving the reliability of known means, composi ⁇ tions and methods for reducing the concentration of pollutants in a gas stream, especially within a confined space, by: preparing an aqueous solution comprising a pollutant-reducing agent and a surface active agent and in ratio of surface active agent to pollutant-reducing agent of greater than 1:4000, the composition and amount of surface active agent being effective to reduce average droplet size by at least 10%, and introducing the solution into the gas stream.
  • the solution comprising the pollutant-reducing agent and the water- dispersible polymer is mixed with air and injected as a dispersion of liquid droplets in a gas stream at or near the sonic velocity of the mixture, into a passage containing a combustion effluent at a temperature effective for reducing a pollutant concentration.
  • Figure 1 is a graph showing the influence of a surface active agent on the size of droplets of an aqueous urea solution
  • Figure 2 is a diagram of one typical process scheme for reducing NO ⁇ ;
  • Figure 3 is a view showing an array of spray nozzles within a confined space in an effluent passage
  • Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the detail of an exemplary nozzle for use in the invention.
  • Effluents in need of treatment are produced by a variety of sources including large industrial and utility boilers, circulating fluidized bed boilers, and gas turbines. It will be understood, though, that although written in terms of the reduction of nitrogen oxides in the effluent from the combustion of a carbonaceous fuel, the invention is applicable in any high temperature environment having nitrogen or sulfur oxides, or other pollutant that can be treated by selective gas-phase reaction. Temperatures will typically be greater than about 800°C and can be as high as about 1100"C, even 1200°C and higher.
  • the known processes involve preparing a treatment composition (typically as an aqueous solution) , transporting the composition to a gas stream (e.g., a combustion effluent) through conduits effective for this purpose, and introducing the composition into the gas stream at a concentration and at a rate effective to reduce pollutant concentration under the conditions prevailing in the gas stream.
  • a gas stream e.g., a combustion effluent
  • the treatment composi ⁇ tion is introduced into the effluent by an injector which generally comprises a conduit, sometimes fitted at the tip with a nozzle, extending into an effluent gas stream.
  • an injector which generally comprises a conduit, sometimes fitted at the tip with a nozzle, extending into an effluent gas stream.
  • a portion of effluent or other gas is employed to help atomize and disperse the treatment composition.
  • the spray or injection pattern is defined with precision, often with the aid of computer to assure good distribution and reaction.
  • the present invention helps improve operation by providing a more predictably- defined pattern.
  • Apparatus of varying degrees of sophistication are known for introducing NO ⁇ -reducing compositions into a high temperature environment.
  • Some comprise coaxial, multi-tubular structures, such as those disclosed by Burton in U.S. Patent 4,842,834, by DeVita in U.S.
  • tempera ⁇ tures herein are measured using a suction pyrometer employing a k-type thermocouple. Droplet sizes are determined with a Malvern 2600 instrument, utilizing a Fraunhofer diffraction, laser-based system. And, unless otherwise indicated, all parts and percentages are based on the weight of the composition at the particular point of reference.
  • Figure 2 shows a representative multistage treatment in a large combustor. This figure shows the final mixing and introduction of three individual active components.
  • One exemplary injection nozzle for use according to the invention is described in the above-identified disclosure of Chawla et al and is capable of sup ⁇ plying a pollutant-reducing agent comprised of one or more active components in a two-phase mixture of liquid and gaseous components.
  • a nozzle of this type is shown in Figure 4 and will be described in greater detail below.
  • the liquid component of a two-phase mixture in the case of Chawla et al , Burton or DeVita injectors, or a single-phase, liquid component in the case of other nozzles not requiring a gas typically comprises a solution having at least one pollutant-reducing agent effective in reducing NO ⁇ and/or SO ⁇ under the conditions of injection, may contain enhancers to best match the pollutant-reducing agent to the effective temperature window, and also usually includes various additives to protect the system against blockage.
  • the active pollutant-reducing agent e. g NO ⁇ -reducing agent, is desirably incorporated in the liquid phase.
  • a NO ⁇ -reducing agent is introduced as an aqueous treatment solution, such as urea or other NH-containing composition in water with one or more enhancers.
  • aqueous treatment solution such as urea or other NH-containing composition in water with one or more enhancers.
  • the liquid component can include suspended solids or an immiscible fluid material.
  • the gaseous component can be similarly complex.
  • NH-containing compositions in their pure and typical commercial forms, will generate effective gas- phase agents (e.g., the amidozine radical) when introduced in aqueous solution and subjected to elevated temperatures.
  • gas- phase agents e.g., the amidozine radical
  • NH-containing composi ⁇ tions are those selected from the group consisting of ammonia, ammonia precursors, urea, urea precursors, urea hydrolysis products, products of reaction of urea with itself or other compositions, related compositions, and mixtures of these.

  • carbamates such as ammonium carbamate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate and other ammonia salts, various urea com ⁇ plexes and half ammonia salts.

  • U.S. Patent 4,997,631 to Hofmann et al and PCT application WO 92/02291 to von Harpe et al are incorporated herein by reference.
  • Enhancers are additive materials which modify the effectiveness of a pollutant-reducing agent in terms of its effective temperature window, its utilization efficiency, or the like.
  • the enhancers are the above materials when used in suitable combination, oxygenated hydrocarbons, and mixtures of these.
  • oxygenated hydrocarbons are ketones, aldehydes, alcohols including polyols, carboxylic acids, sugars, starch hydrolysates, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, sugar-containing residues such as molasses, and mixtures of any of these.
  • the entire disclosures of U.S. Patents 4,719,092, 4,844,878 and 4,877,591 are incorporated herein by reference.

  • the concentration of the compositions at the points of introduction can be finally adjusted as desired by water from the common source shown.
  • the solution in the storage vessels will also preferably contain the surface active agents according to the invention. It is possible, of course to meter these in on a real-time basis in the concentration required. It is an advantage of the invention that these surface active agents are highly and rapidly dispersible in water throughout their full range of effective concentrations.

Most preferably, the median droplet size will be within the range of from about 10 to about 40 microns.
  • relative span refers to the distribution of droplet sizes — the lower the value, the more nearly uniform the droplets are in terms of size.
  • D Q ⁇ l , D Q>5 and D Q#9 are volume diameters at 10%, 50% and 90% of the total liquid volume on a cumu ⁇ lative distribution curve.
  • the invention provides a greater degree of reliability to processes and apparatus which employ or are used in connection with aqueous solutions of the type described. This is achieved in the present case by providing the ability to better control placement of droplets of the proper size to achieve rapid chemical release and thereby achieve the objective of the pollutant-reducing agent, as opposed to the maintenance of clear transport and injection appara- tus which was the objective of copending commonly assigned U.S. Patent Appl.

  • certain phosphates alone or in combination,
  • the hardness-suppressing composition is preferably employed at a level effective to suppress hardness.
  • a polymer and a phosphonate are employed in combination at a weight ratio of within the range of from 1:25 to 25:1, but the preferred ratio is 4-6:1. Ratios outside these ranges can be employed so long as at least a minimum effective amount of each component in the combination is employed.
  • a concentrate is prepared for final dilution, it is desired to employ enough of the hardness-suppressing composition to be effective in the concentrate and all contemplated degrees of dilution.
  • pH modifiers such as monoethanolamine are employed in amounts effective to achieve long-term stability, especially when subjected to temperature extremes of from freezing to 120 ⁇ F.
  • One preferred hardness-suppressing formulation comprises 83% dionized water, 2.5% of a 60% solution of 1-hydroxy- ethylidenel,l-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) , 10% of a 63% active solution of polyacrylic acid (PAA) (prepared using organic peroxide/ isopropanol catalyst) (approximate MW 2000) , 5% Igepal CO-730 nonionic surfactant (nonyl phenol ethoxylate) , 1% aroma enhancer, 1.5% monoethanolamine, and 5% Dowfax 3B2 anionic sulfonate surfactant (alkylated diphenyl oxide disulfonates) .

  • This concentrate is diluted as required to achieve a urea concentration effective under the conditions.
  • dilution to concentrations of from 5 to 25% urea are effective.
  • Lower concentrations e.g., 1 to 5%
  • the pH of the aqueous solution is above 5, and generally is within the range of from 7 to 11, e. g. , 8 to 10.
  • the concentration of the reducing agent injected into the effluent should be sufficient to obtain a reduction, and preferably ensure a minimization, of the nitrogen oxide concentration.
  • the reducing agents are employed in total amounts sufficient to provide a molar ratio of reducing agent to baseline nitrogen oxide content (i.e. , prior to treatment at that stage) of about 1:4 to about 5:1.
  • the ratio is preferably within the range from 1:2 to 2:1. In most situations this amount will be distributed jointly by a number of nozzles from a number of points as is illustrated in Figure 2.
  • Figure 3 illustrates an injection device employed where the temperature window for effective NO ⁇ treat ⁇ ment happens to fall between banks of heat exchange tubes in effluent passage 52.
  • the limited space between these banks of tubes makes injection from or near the passage wall inefficient and permits locating an injection lance 67 no further than distance d from the nearest downstream bank. This distance is often as short as 1 to 3 meters. All fluid introduced by lance 67 must be fully vaporized by the time the effluent, often moving at 10 to 25 meters per second, travels the distance d. Thus, in the case where the effluent is moving at about 20 meters per second and the distance d is 1 meter, the liquid must evaporate in 50 milliseconds or less.
  • lance 167 carries a plurality of spaced nozzles 160, at least some of which are capable of injecting a two-phase pollutant-reducing mixture, comprising liquid and gaseous components, into the effluent at sonic velocity.
  • a plurality of lances 167 will typically be employed.
  • the lances are pre ⁇ ferably spaced one from the other in a plane spaced a distance d from the next bank of heat exchange tubes (or other obstruction) downstream of the lances.
  • the spacing between the nozzles 160 on an individual lance 167 as well as between lances is desirably kept as uniform as is consistent with effectiveness which will vary with velocity and temperature profiles within the effluent passage.

  • the individual lances 167 are fed with a liquid component through conduit 161 and a gaseous component via concentric outer conduit 163.
  • cooling fluid is fed and returned via lines 168 through a cooling jacket (not shown) which surrounds conduit 163.
  • liquid droplets comprising NO ⁇ -reducing agents can be injected at well-controlled particle size distributions and velocities to make the active agents available near the point of injection without droplets impinging obstructions or surviving beyond the desired temperature window for NO ⁇ reduction to a lower temperature area where ammonia would be generated.
  • Figure 4 is the detail in cross section of an indivi ⁇ dual nozzle 160.
  • Nozzles of this type are suitable for use in this invention, and discharge a two-phase mixture of gas and liquid at the characteristic sonic velocity of the mixture.
  • the speed of sound of a mixture of the two components is approximately 20 to 30 meters per second, based on a volumetric proportion of gas of between 30 and 80 percent. Since the outflow velocity of the mixture is equal to its speed of sound, i.e., sonic velocity, the abrupt pressure drop from the mixing chamber produces an intensive division of the liquid phase into small droplets.
  • the droplet diameter is effected essentially by this pressure drop and, as a result, is adjustable. It is an advantage of this invention that the surface active agent provides further adjustability in droplet size and enables narrowing the range of droplet sizes.
  • the nozzle comprises a liquid conduit 161 surrounded at its end by an annular chamber 162, into which there opens a line 163 for the gas.
  • the annular chamber 162 is connected to the interior of the conduit 161 by means of several transfer holes 164, so that the end region of the conduit 161 functions as a mixing chamber 165.
  • the ratio of gas flow to liquid flow should be adjusted such that, shortly before exit from the mixing chamber 165 through outlet 166, the ratio is appropriate for the chosen pressure drop to enable injection of the mixture at its sonic velocity.
  • a volumetric proportion of gas of between 30 and 80% is employed, i.e., in this case, the flow cross section occupied by the gas amounts to from 30 to 80% of the total flow cross section.
  • the pressure ahead of the mixing chamber will typically be in the range of between approximately 1.6 and 40 bar, depending on the desired droplet size and the phase exchange area dependent on this. Pressures on the order of magnitude of from about 2 to about 15, e. g. from about 3 to about 5, bar will be customary.
  • Droplet sizes will be determined based on the requirements of tempera ⁇ ture, effluent flow rate, spacing of downstream obstruc ⁇ tion, NO ⁇ -reducing agent concentration, and desired effect. Typically, droplets will be formed with median diameters of from about 5 to about 100 microns. For many applications median diameters within the range of from 10 to 60 microns, e. g. , less than about 50 microns, are effective. It is also preferred that the relative span of droplet sizes be less than 3, e. g. , 1.5 to 2.5.
  • the injection at sonic velocity with the water- dispersible polymer enables effective limitation of oversized droplets.
  • the atomizing device shown in Figure 4 serves only to illustrate one suitable form of nozzle.
  • the atomizing jet can also be designed and constructed differently.
  • Commercial nozzles of this type are NFTC 4.0 and NFTL-20-00-170, both of which are available from Nalco Fuel Tech of Naperville, Illinois.
  • other atomization techniques can be employed including nozzles which operate without a separate atomizing fluid.
  • aqueous urea test solutions were prepared and sprayed into a test chamber using a NFTL-20-00-170 nozzle and the liquid and air flow both being under pressures of 40 psi.
  • Both solutions contained 50% urea, but one also contained 50 ppm of an anionic surface active agent available from Dow as 3B2, and a 50 ppm of ionic surfactant sold by Rhone Poulenc as Igepal CO-730.
  • urea solutions were prepared and sprayed using the nozzle identified above in Example 1, with both air and water pressures at 40 psi. All solutions contained 10% urea, and the use of surface active agent was varied from 0 to 100 ppm as shown in the following table.
