At low mercury concentrations(<200 μg/m3), unburned carbon had higher adsorption capacity than commercial activated carbon. The adsorbality of unburned carbon was also found to be source dependent. Isotherms of FS carbon(separated from fly ash of a power plant of Shishi in Fujian Province) were similar to those classified as typeⅡ. Isotherms of XJ carbon(separated from fly ash of a power plant of Jingcheng in Shanxi Province) were more like those classified as type Ⅲ. Due to the relatively low production costs, these residual carbons would likely be considerably more cost-effective for the full-scale removal of mercury from combustion flue gases than other technology.展开更多

This paperfocuses on three types of fly ash (flue gas desulfurization (FGD) residuals, atmospheric fluidizedbed combustion (AFBC) residuals and sorbent duct injection (SDI) residuals) which produced by 'theclean combustion' and post-combustion technologies. The residuals formed by FGD are PCFA (pulverizedcoal fly ash) grains entrained with reacted and unre-acted sorbent and have lower bulk densitiesthan PCFA grains because it contains higher concentrations of calcium and sulfur, and lowerconcentrations of silicon, aluminum and iron than PCFAs. AFBC residuals consist of spent bed whichis a heterogeneous mixture of coarse-grained bed material and irregularly shaped, unfused, sphericalPCFAs. The main crystalline phases in AFBC residuals are anhydrite (reacted sorbent), quartz andlime (unreacted sobent), calcite, hematite, periclase, magnetite and feldspars. The residualsproduced by SDI contained 65 percent-70 percent PCFA with the larger sizes material beingirregularly shaped, fused or rough-edged. The reaction products of sorbent (portlandite and lime)included calcium sulfate (anhydrite) and calcium sulfate. The chemical properties of these residualsare similar to those of high calcium PCFAs because of the high alkalinity and high pH of theseresiduals.展开更多

The relationship, between desulphurization efficiency and the parameters of thermodynamics and chemistry, was investigated basically. It is shown that the bed temperature and the vapor partial pressure in the bed are the important parameters that influence the desulphurization efficiency. The closer the bed temperature to the dew point and the higher the vapor partial pressure, the higher is the desulphurization efficiency. With increasing of Ca/S. the desulphurization efficiency ascends. Comparing with different operating methods, the optimum method has been found.展开更多
