Abstract

Provided is an air pollution control system including: a denitration apparatus; an air heater; a precipitator; a desulfurization apparatus; a dehydrator; a spray drying apparatus provided with a spray unit that is configured to spray dehydrated filtrate supplied from the dehydrator; a flue gas introduction line through which a branch gas branched from the flue gas is introduced to the spray drying apparatus; a flue gas supply line through which a flue gas from the spray drying apparatus returns to a main flue gas duct; a solid content separator that performs a solid-gas separation on solid contents contained in the flue gas; and a kneader that performs kneading and immobilizing treatment on the separated solid contents together with an immobilization aid.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An air pollution control system configured to treat a flue gas discharged from a boiler which combusts a fuel comprising:
an air heater that is configured to recover heat of the flue gas;
a precipitator that is provided on the downstream of the air heater and configured to remove soot and dust contained in the flue gas;
a desulfurization apparatus that is arranged on the downstream of the precipitator and configured to remove sulfur oxides contained in the flue gas after removing the soot and dust, using an absorbent;
a dehydrator that is provided on the downstream of the desulfurization apparatus and configured to remove gypsum from absorbent slurry discharged from the desulfurization apparatus;
a spray drying apparatus that is provided with a spray unit which is configured to spray filtrate discharged from the dehydrator;
a flue gas introduction line which partially branches the flue gas from a main flue gas duct on the upstream of the air heater through which the branched flue gas is introduced to the spray drying apparatus;
a flue gas supply line which is provided between the downstream of the spray drying apparatus and the main flue gas duct between the air heater and the precipitator and through which the flue gas from the spray drying apparatus returns to the main flue gas duct;
a solid content separator that is provided in the flue gas supply line between the downstream of the spray drying apparatus and the main flue gas duct between the air heater and the precipitator and configured to perform a solid-gas separation on soluble dry salts contained in the flue gas from the spray drying apparatus;
a kneader that is provided on the downstream of the solid content separator and configured to perform kneading and immobilizing treatment on the separated soluble dry salts together with an immobilization aid; and
a dryer that is provided on the downstream of the kneader and configured to perform a drying treatment on a kneaded matter.

2. The air pollution control system according to claim 1 , wherein the immobilization aid is any one or a mixture of collected dust ash, calcium oxide, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, or a cement material.

3. The air pollution control system according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of a chelating agent, a coagulant, or an absorbing agent is added together with or instead of the immobilization aid.

4. The air pollution control system according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of the chelating agent and the coagulant is supplied to a filtrate introduction line which connects the dehydrator to the spray drying apparatus.
