Definitions
- the invention relates to optimized methods for cleaning exhaust gas from a combustion process and a combustion device with exhaust gas cleaning that is suitable for carrying out these methods.
- SNCR selective non-catalytic reduction
- NOx nitrogen oxide
- thermolysis for example, ammonia (NH3), ammonia water or urea is converted with the gaseous nitrogen oxides to form water vapor and nitrogen.
- NH3 ammonia
- urea reacts with the nitrogen oxides of the combustion gases in a radical reaction at high temperatures of 850 to 1,100 °C to form nitrogen and water vapor.
- the degree of nitrogen oxide degradation in the SNCR process can be improved.
- SCR selective catalytic reduction processes
- a reducing agent e.g. ammonia, urea or urea solution
- spraying takes place in temperature ranges from 200 °C to approx. 500 °C.
- An advantage of the SCR process over the SNCR process is that higher denitrification levels are possible with minimal NHs slip.
- a corresponding method is described, for example, in DE4139862A1.
- conventional methods can include solids separators to reduce the sulfur dioxide content in the exhaust gas.
- An additive is added to bind and separate sulfur dioxide.
- an SCR process is combined with a solids separator, in such a way that the nitrogen oxide concentration is first reduced using an SCR process, and then the sulfur dioxide content in the exhaust gas is reduced using a solids separator.
- WO2021/121575A1 shows a method for operating and a system for a steam boiler system.
- the specific methods and the specific device of the present invention and the associated effects are not disclosed there, as will be explained in more detail below.
- the object to be solved by the invention is therefore to provide optimized methods for cleaning exhaust gas from a combustion process, which are improved from an energy perspective and from a cost perspective compared to the prior art. Another task is to provide an optimized combustion device with exhaust gas purification, which is improved from an energy and cost perspective compared to the prior art. Another task to be solved is to provide a method for cleaning exhaust gas from a combustion process and a corresponding combustion device, with a longer travel time of the catalyst, by avoiding the formation of ammonium sulfate on the catalyst, because the formation of ammonium sulfate on the catalyst surface causes the catalytic Activity of the catalyst reduced or completely inhibited.
- a method according to claim 1 represents a first embodiment of a method according to the invention.
- Preferred embodiments of this method are defined in subclaims 2 to 7, which are also included in combination with each other.
- the tasks are further solved by a combustion device with exhaust gas purification according to claim 8.
- Preferred embodiments of the device are defined in subclaims 9 to 10, which are also included in combination with each other.
- the tasks are further solved through the use according to claim 11.
- the tasks are solved by the method according to claim 12, which is a second embodiment of a represents the method according to the invention.
- Preferred embodiments of this alternative method are defined in subclaims 13 to 21, which are also included in combination with one another.
- Figure 1 illustrates an embodiment of a combustion device with exhaust gas purification according to the present invention, with which a method according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention can be carried out.
- the method is a method for purifying exhaust gas from a combustion process, comprising the steps of: 1) performing a combustion process; 2) performing a solids separation process in which the concentration of sulfur in the exhaust gas of the combustion process is reduced by adding an additive; 3) Performing a catalytic purification process in which the concentration of nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas from the combustion process is reduced by adding a reducing agent.
- combustion processes include all thermal processes in which oxidation processes take place in the presence of oxygen.
- combustion processes include all thermal processes in which oxidation processes take place in the presence of oxygen.
- fossil fuels, organic materials, garbage, etc. can be burned.
- the combustion process can take place within a melting process, e.g. in an (aluminum) melting process.
- the solids separation process in step 2) is conventionally known.
- the concentration of sulfur in the exhaust gas from the combustion process is reduced by adding an additive.
- the sulfur is present in particular as sulfur dioxide. If sulfur or sulfur dioxide (SO2) is mentioned below, this includes all gaseous sulfur oxides.
- the additive binds the sulfur dioxide and thereby reduces the concentration of sulfur dioxide in the exhaust gas. Suitable additives are conventionally known and are explained in more detail below.
- the catalytic cleaning process in step 3) is conventionally known.
- the concentration of nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust gas from the combustion process is reduced by adding a reducing agent.
- the catalytic cleaning process is a conventional SCR process in embodiments.
- SCN catalysts are, for example, porous ceramic solid catalysts based on titanium dioxide, tungsten oxide and/or vanadium oxide, which are preferably in a plate or honeycomb structure.
- the porous structure of the catalyst material and thus its inner surface are crucial for the catalytic activity.
- the Conversion of nitrogen oxides into molecular nitrogen takes place in the exhaust air at temperatures of around 200 to 400°C.
- the SCR process has the advantage over the SNCR process that lower NOx limit values of, for example, 80 mg/m 3 can be easily achieved.
- the catalyst in the SCN process typically requires an operating temperature of at least 210 °C, and in the presence of SO2 the temperatures are even higher. If the SO2 content is reduced to, for example, 10 mg by using more additive, an operating temperature of 215 °C is possible. However, this requires around 20-25% more additive, which is unfavorable from a cost perspective.

L'invention concerne un procédé de purification des gaz d'échappement provenant d'un processus de combustion, comprenant les étapes qui consistent à : 1) effectuer un processus de combustion ; 2) effectuer un processus de séparation solide au cours duquel la concentration en soufre dans les gaz d'échappement provenant du processus de combustion est réduite par addition d'un additif ; 3) effectuer un processus de purification catalytique au cours duquel la concentration en oxyde d'azote dans les gaz d'échappement provenant du processus de combustion est réduite par addition d'un agent réducteur, les étapes 1), 2) et 3) étant suivies par une mesure d'une variable des gaz d'échappement, la variable mesurée étant sélectionnée dans le groupe comprenant température, pression, teneur en eau, teneur en soufre, teneur en oxyde d'azote, teneur en agent réducteur ou une combinaison de ceux-ci ; la quantité d'additif ajouté à l'étape 2) étant régulée en fonction de la variable mesurée des gaz d'échappement ; et/ou la quantité de l'agent réducteur ajouté à l'étape 3) étant régulée en fonction de la variable mesurée des gaz d'échappement ; l'agent réducteur étant de préférence ajouté directement dans le processus de combustion de l'étape 1), la quantité de l'agent réducteur ajouté à l'étape 1) étant régulée en fonction de la variable mesurée des gaz d'échappement. L'invention concerne également un procédé de purification de gaz d'échappement contenant du soufre provenant d'un processus de combustion, comprenant un procédé de purification catalytique au cours duquel la concentration en oxyde d'azote dans les gaz d'échappement est réduite par addition continue d'un agent réducteur, la quantité de l'agent réducteur ajouté étant régulée en fonction d'une variable mesurée des gaz d'échappement, et la quantité de l'agent réducteur ajouté étant remise à zéro pendant une durée définie pendant le processus de purification catalytique. L'invention concerne en outre un dispositif de combustion à purification des gaz d'échappement au cours duquel les procédés peuvent être mis en œuvre.
