Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a method for predicting a deactivation phenomenon in a flue-gas desulfurization unit to prevent the occurrence of the deactivation phenomenon before it happens. There is provided a method for preventing the occurrence of a deactivation phenomenon in a flue-gas desulfurization unit that treats flue gas of a coal-fired boiler, the method includes calculating a deactivation potential as an index of the deactivation phenomenon based on alkaline components such as Na, Ca, Mg, and K contained in ash in the flue gas, and performing an operation management, such as adjustment of set value of a pH control system, on the flue-gas desulfurization unit depending on change of the deactivation potential.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for preventing occurrence of a deactivation phenomenon in a flue-gas desulfurization unit that treats flue gas of a coal-fired boiler, the method comprising: calculating a deactivation potential as an index of the deactivation phenomenon based on alkaline components contained in ash in the flue gas; and performing an operation management of the flue-gas desulfurization unit depending on change of the deactivation potential. 2. The method for preventing a deactivation phenomenon according to claim 1 , wherein the operation management is to make an adjustment of at least any of a pH control system, a wastewater control system, and a chemical addition control system of the flue-gas desulfurization unit. 3. The method for preventing a deactivation phenomenon according to claim 1 , wherein the deactivation potential takes into consideration a vitrification ratio of the ash and an atomic arrangement structure of glass. 4. The method for preventing a deactivation phenomenon according to claim 1 , wherein the deactivation potential is calculated using, as a parameter, a ratio of the alkaline components to a soluble material contained in the ash. 5. The method for preventing a deactivation phenomenon according to claim 2 , wherein the deactivation potential takes into consideration a vitrification ratio of the ash and an atomic arrangement structure of glass. 6. The method for preventing a deactivation phenomenon according to claim 2 , wherein the deactivation potential is calculated using, as a parameter, a ratio of the alkaline components to a soluble material contained in the ash. 7. The method for preventing a deactivation phenomenon according to claim 3 , wherein the deactivation potential is calculated using, as a parameter, a ratio of the alkaline components to a soluble material contained in the ash. 8. The method for preventing a deactivation phenomenon according to claim 5 , wherein the deactivation potential is calculated using, as a parameter, a ratio of the alkaline components to a soluble material contained in the ash.
