Optimization of Slurry PH Value for Limestone Wet Desulfurization Technology
Based on limestone wet desulfurization spray scrubber technology, this paper explicitly introduces the ionization process of water in slurry, deduces controlled range of slurry PH value and equation of slurry PH value in slurry droplet by analyzing the main origin of H+ and OH-, and other factors that influence ionization balance of water in slurry, provides theories for simulation of slurry PH value and optimization in practical operation. Besides, it concludes the reasonable range of slurry PH value by analyzing various factors such as increasing SO2 removal efficiency, decreasing operation cost, dissolution of CaCO3, oxidation of SO32- andHSO3-, and relationship of slurry PH values between slurry surface and the undersurface, provides reference for optimization of slurry PH value in practice. Finally, an optimization experiment of slurry PH value is designed for#11FGD in Taiyuan co-generation power plant, and the slurry PH value is optimized effectively.
Study of a Model Featuring Mass Transfer and Chemical Equilibrium for Wet Method-based Desulfuration
The technology of limestone-gypsum wet-method desulfuration by using a spray absorption tower is nowadays most widely used in coal-fired power plants.Inside the tower,the sprinkling liquid droplets will fall in an inverse direction against the rising flue gas flow to absorb SO2 in the flue gas.Based on a steady-state assumption,the authors analyzed the equilibrium relationship between the chemical reaction process in the droplets and liquid-phase constituents,and also presented a model featuring the dissolution velocity of solid CaCO3.By employing a total mass transfer coefficient,set up was a mass transfer rate model for droplet absorption-phase constituents.Through an analysis of the material quantity equilibrium of various components between the gas and liquid phases,established was an equilibrium equation for the controlled volume in the absorption zone.The model in question can provide guidance for relevant engineering applications,and can also be used for the emulation calculation of absorption towers and flow-field numerical simulation calculations.
Numerical and experimental investigation on air distributor design of fluidized bed reactor of sawdust pyrolysis
Abstract An improved biomass conversion in a lab-scale fluidized bed reactor (FBR) is achieved by optimizing the air distributor orifice size and number. Two approaches for introducing air were numerically and experimentally examined. These included perforated plate and downward orifice sparger. 3 mm and 5 mm orifice diameters, and 7, 9 and 13 holes were simulated at flow velocities of 2, 4, 6, and 8 times the minimum fluidization velocity, Umf. The simulation results revealed that increasing the orifice number has a positive effect on gas holdup, particularly for the perforated plate, which showed a uniform distribution of bubbles. The sparger configuration produced larger bubbles sizes, which could lead to better recirculation of solid flux, while stagnant particle zones were observed at the lower section of both distributors. A pyrolysis unit is also inserted at the top of freeboard of the FBR. For perforated plate with 6Umf, the pyrolysis process achieved thermal and cold gas efficiencies of 82.91% and 52.03%, respectively, while combustible gases with 41.6%mol CO, 8.7%mol CH 4 and 2.17%mol HC, were obtained. For sparger pipe and 6U mf _sp, 35.33 ppm NOx and 111 ppm SO 2 were measured in flue gas from combustion process at bed region.
