Abstract

A reduction device, an acid gas recovery device, a recovery device collector, and a first removed substance returning line are provided. The reduction device is configured to perform a reduction process to turn iron oxide to reduced iron by adding a reducing agent. The acid gas recovery device is configured to recover CO2 being acid gas with CO2 absorbing liquid being acid gas absorbing liquid from exhaust gas containing at least powder-shaped iron-based solid substances and the acid gas, which are discharged from the reduction device. The recovery device collector is configured to collect the iron-based solid substance contained in the absorbing liquid with a filter. The iron-based solid substances collected by the recovery device collector are removed, and removed substances containing the removed iron-based solid substances are returned to the reduction device side through the first removed substance returning line.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An exhaust gas treatment system, comprising:
a reduction device configured to perform a reduction process to turn iron oxide to reduced iron;
a CO 2 recovery device that includes:
a CO 2 absorbing tower configured to recover CO 2 with CO 2 absorbing liquid from exhaust gas containing at least iron-based solid substances and the CO 2 , which are discharged from the reduction device; and
an absorbing liquid regenerating tower configured to regenerate a lean solution having a low CO 2 concentration by diffusing the CO 2 from a rich solution having absorbed CO 2 , which is supplied from the CO 2 absorbing tower;

a lean solution supply line through which the lean solution regenerated in the absorbing liquid regenerating tower is extracted from the absorbing liquid regenerating tower and is introduced to the CO 2 absorbing tower to be reused in the CO 2 absorbing tower;
a branch liquid line branched from the lean solution supply line;
a recovery device collector that is provided to the branch liquid line and is configured to collect the iron-based solid substances contained in the lean solution; and
a first removed substance returning line through which the iron-based solid substances collected by the recovery device collector are removed, the first removed substance returning line for returning recovery device removed substances, which contain the iron-based solid substances that are removed, to the reduction device.

2. The exhaust gas treatment system for the exhaust gas from the reduction device according to claim 1 , wherein the collector includes an extraction line for extracting the rich solution from the CO 2 absorbing tower and a liquid filtrate supply line for returning liquid filtrate obtained after collecting the iron-based solid substances to the CO 2 absorbing tower.

3. The exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a cooling tower provided on upstream of the CO 2 absorbing tower, the cooling tower configured to cool the exhaust gas containing at least the iron-based solid substances and the CO 2 , which are discharged from the reduction device, with circulating cooling water;
a cooling tower collector configured to collect the iron-based solid substances contained in the circulating cooling water;
a cooling tower removing device configured to remove the iron-based solid substances collected by the cooling tower collector; and
a second removed substance returning line for returning cooling tower removed substances, which contain the iron-based solid substances removed by the cooling tower collector, to the reduction device.

4. The exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 3 , wherein the cooling tower collector device includes an extraction line for extracting the cooling water from the cooling tower and a liquid filtrate supply line for returning liquid filtrate obtained after collecting the iron-based solid substances to the cooling tower.

wherein the filter comprises any one of a cartridge filter, a precoat filter, a metallic slit filter, a wire net filter, a sintered metal filter, and a magnetic filter, or combination thereof.

6. The exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the recovery device collector includes a filter,
wherein the filter comprises any one of a cartridge filter, a precoat filter, a metallic slit filter, a wire net filter, and a sintered metal filter, or combination thereof, and
wherein the filter has a surface on which a filtering medium is provided, and the filtering medium is formed of iron-based compound particles coated with a resin that are accumulated on the surface of the filter.

7. The exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the recovery device collector includes a filter,
wherein the filter comprises a magnetic filter,
wherein the magnetic filter has a surface on which a filtering medium is provided, and
wherein the filtering medium is formed of magnetic iron-based compound particles coated with a resin, and the magnetic iron-based compound particles are accumulated on the surface of the magnetic filter to which a magnetic field is applied.

8. The exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 3 ,
wherein the cooling tower collector includes a filter, and
wherein the filter comprises any one of a cartridge filter, a precoat filter, a metallic slit filter, a wire net filter, a sintered metal filter, and a magnetic filter, or combination thereof.

9. The exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 3 ,
wherein the cooling tower collector includes a filter,
wherein the filter comprises any one of a cartridge filter, a precoat filter, a metallic slit filter, a wire net filter, and a sintered metal filter, or combination thereof, and
wherein the filter has a surface on which a filtering medium is provided, and the filtering medium is formed of iron-based compound particles coated with a resin that are accumulated on the surface of the filter.

10. The exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 3 ,
wherein the cooling tower collector includes a filter,
wherein the filter comprises a magnetic filter,
