Abstract

A liquid collection plate is arranged in an absorbing column between a spray unit and a reservoir and has a hollow frustoconical shape with a descending slope from an outer periphery thereof toward an axis thereof and having an axial bottom with an opening immersed in the absorption liquid in the reservoir. The liquid collection plate is peripherally divided into and formed by a plurality of divisional plates. Each of the divisional plates has an outer upper end with a hook supported by a latch on an inner surface of the absorbing column and has an inner lower end supported by a brace fixed to a bottom of the reservoir.

First claim

1 . A desulfurization device comprising
an absorbing column into which introduced is exhaust gas from an oxyfuel combustor, the absorbing column comprising a spray unit, a reservoir for storing absorption liquid injected from the spray unit and contacted with the exhaust gas, a stirrer for stirring and swirling the absorption liquid in the reservoir peripherally and an air supply pipe for blowing oxidizing air into the absorption liquid in the reservoir and a liquid collection plate arranged in the absorbing column between the spray unit and the reservoir, the liquid collection plate having a hollow frustoconical shape with a descending slope from an outer periphery thereof toward an axis thereof and having an axial bottom with an opening positioned in the absorption liquid of the reservoir, the liquid collection plate being peripherally divided into and formed by a plurality of divisional plates, each of the divisional plates having an outer upper end with a hook supported by a latch on an inner surface of the absorbing column and having an inner lower end supported by a brace fixed to a bottom of the reservoir.

2 . The desulfurization device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein liquid-guiding projections are arranged on an upper surface of the liquid collection plate to swirl the absorption liquid injected from the spray unit in a direction same as that of swirl of the absorption liquid in the reservoir by the stirrers and guide the absorption liquid into the opening.

3 . The desulfurization device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a radially extending reinforcing frame is fixed on each of the divisional plates and has a lower end extending beyond the inner lower end of the corresponding divisional plate to provide an insert which is inserted into and supported by an upper end of the brace.

4 . The desulfurization device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein liquid-guiding projections are arranged on an upper surface of the liquid collection plate to swirl the absorption liquid injected from the spray unit in a direction same as that of swirl of the absorption liquid in the reservoir by the stirrers and guide the absorption liquid into the opening.
