Performance with Respect to Flue Gas Composition of a Combined Desulfurization／Denitration Process Using Powder-Particle Fluidized Bed

A new combined desulfarizatinn/denitraticon (DeSOx/DeNOx) procees was teeted in this study. The procees uses the so-called powder-partlcle fluidized bed (PPFB) as the major reactor in which a coarse DeNOx catalyst, several hundrsd micrometers in size, is fluidized by flue gas as the fluidization medium particles while a contlnuogsly supplied fine DeSOx sorbent, several to tens of micrometers in dianteter, is entrained with the flue gas. Ammonin for NOx reduction is fed to the bottom of the bed, thus, SOx and NOx are simultaneously removed in the single reactor.By adopting a model gas, SO2-NO-HaO-N2-air, to simulate actual flue gas in a laboratory-scale PPFB, simultaneous SO2 and NO removals were explored with respect to various gas components of flue gas. It was found that the vaxlations of SO2 removal with concentrations (fractions) of oxygen, water vapor, SO2 and NO in flue gas are little affected by the simultaneous NOx reduction. However,the dependencles of NO removal upon such gas components are clveely related to the inter-actions between DeSOx sorbent and DeNOx catalyst.
