Abstract:
Objective The aim is to study the application of calcium-based dry desulfurizer in the field of flue gas desulfurization, and give full play to the advantages of low cost, good desulfurization performance and environmental friendliness of calcium-based desulfurizer, so as to achieve the up-to-standard emission of SO2 in flue gas.
Methods The physical and chemical properties of the prepared calcium-based desulfurizer were characterized by XRD, BET, FTIR and XPS. Additionally, simulating sulfur-containing waste gas, the effects of SO2 content, reaction temperature, O2 content and volume space velocity on the desulfurization performance of calcium-based dry desulfurizer were investigated by a fixed bed reactor.
Results The prepared calcium-based desulfurizer demonstrated effective desulfurization, and its optimum operating temperature range was 220-300 ℃, which was suitable for the case that the volume fraction of SO2 in flue gas did not exceed 0.4%. The increase of O2 content produced new active sites for adsorption, which could promote desulfurization process. When the volume space velocity was in the range of 500-2 000 h−1, the sulfur capacity did not change much.
Conclusions The application of calcium-based dry desulfurizer in the field of flue gas desulfurization has high efficiency and stability, which can provide reference for its wide application in the industrial field.
