Description

本発明は、石炭焚きボイラの排ガスに含まれる水銀を除去する方法及び装置に関する。更に詳しくは、少なくとも排ガスの脱硫工程若しくは排ガスの集塵工程を有する、石炭焚きボイラの排ガスを処理する工程において、塩素化合物を用いて排ガス中の水銀を除去する方法及び装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for removing mercury contained in exhaust gas from a coal fired boiler. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for removing mercury in exhaust gas using a chlorine compound in a process of treating exhaust gas from a coal fired boiler, which has at least a desulfurization process of exhaust gas or a dust collection process of exhaust gas.

発電プラントなどで、微粉炭を燃焼する石炭焚きボイラに用いる石炭には、各種微量金属が含まれるので、これら金属若しくは金属化合物はボイラ排ガス中にも含まれて排出される。特に、水銀は着目物質の中のひとつで、その排ガス中含有量の0.01〜0.001ppmレベルの濃度が問題視される。   Since coal used in a coal-fired boiler that burns pulverized coal in a power plant or the like contains various trace metals, these metals or metal compounds are also contained in the boiler exhaust gas and discharged. In particular, mercury is one of the substances of interest, and the concentration of 0.01 to 0.001 ppm level of the content in exhaust gas is regarded as a problem.

通常このようなボイラ設備では、排ガスの処理装置として、脱硫装置や集塵装置をそなえているので、それにより排ガス中の5〜7割の水銀は除去されるが、3〜5割は排ガス中に含まれて排出してしまう。よって対策が必要である。排ガス中の水銀は遊離の金属水銀として存在するか、一部石炭に本来的に含まれる塩素と化合して水銀塩(塩化水銀)の形で存在するが、前記脱硫装置での水への溶解性や集塵装置でのアッシュへの吸着性は、水銀塩(塩化水銀)の形の方が、格段に大きい。従って、遊離の水銀を塩化水銀へ変化させることが、水銀除去率を高める有効な手段である。   Usually, such a boiler facility is equipped with a desulfurization device and a dust collector as an exhaust gas treatment device, thereby removing 50 to 70% of mercury in the exhaust gas, but 30 to 50% is in the exhaust gas. It is contained and discharged. Therefore, countermeasures are necessary. Mercury in the exhaust gas exists as free metallic mercury or some forms of mercury salt (mercury chloride) combined with chlorine originally contained in coal, but dissolved in water in the desulfurization unit In the form of mercury salt (mercury chloride), the ash and the adsorptivity to ash in the dust collector are much greater. Therefore, changing free mercury to mercury chloride is an effective means of increasing the mercury removal rate.

特許文献1では、石炭類をボイラのような燃焼装置で燃焼する際、該石炭類に予め塩素化合物を添加して燃焼させ、次いで該燃焼装置の後流に設置された集塵装置で排ガス中のばい塵を除去、回収する方法を開示している。   In Patent Document 1, when coal is burned in a combustion device such as a boiler, a chlorine compound is previously added to the coal for combustion, and then in the exhaust gas by a dust collector installed downstream of the combustion device. A method for removing and collecting soot and dust is disclosed.

この方法は、ボイラ火炉に直接塩素化合物を投入することになるので、一つには、ボイラ火炉壁、過熱器、節炭器など火炉内電熱面の極力腐蝕から防護すべき部位に、高濃度の塩素化合物を触れさせる事になり、ボイラ保守の寿命を短縮する。更に、火炉内における、1400℃近辺の高温の条件下では、例えば、有利水銀と塩酸とから塩化水銀が生成する平衡反応で、その平衡が生成系の方へほとんど移動せず、有利水銀のほうが、安定な熱的条件となるので、水銀塩の生成条件としては適していない。   In this method, chlorine compounds are directly fed into the boiler furnace. For one reason, high concentrations are applied to parts that should be protected from corrosion on the electric surface of the furnace, such as boiler furnace walls, superheaters, and economizers. This will shorten the life of boiler maintenance. Furthermore, under conditions of high temperature around 1400 ° C. in the furnace, for example, an equilibrium reaction in which mercury chloride is generated from advantageous mercury and hydrochloric acid, the equilibrium hardly moves toward the production system. Since it is a stable thermal condition, it is not suitable as a mercury salt production condition.

特開平2000−325747号公報JP 2000-325747 A

従って、本発明は上記従来の技術の問題点に鑑み、火炉内伝熱面の腐蝕を防止しつつ、石炭含有の水銀に由来する石炭焚きボイラの排ガス中の水銀を、向上した除去率にて除去する方法及び装置の提供を目標とする。   Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, the present invention prevents mercury on the heat transfer surface in the furnace while reducing the mercury in the exhaust gas of the coal fired boiler derived from coal-containing mercury with an improved removal rate. The goal is to provide a method and apparatus for removal.

本発明のボイラ排ガス中の水銀除去方法は、少なくとも排ガスの脱硫工程若しくは排ガスの集塵工程を有する、石炭焚きボイラの排ガスを処理する工程において、ボイラ下流側で、100〜350℃の温度域を保つ排ガス処理経路中に、排ガス中の全塩素濃度が350ppmを超えない範囲で、塩素化合物を投入することを特徴とする。   The method for removing mercury in boiler exhaust gas according to the present invention includes at least a desulfurization process for exhaust gas or a dust collection process for exhaust gas, and a process for treating exhaust gas from a coal-fired boiler at a temperature range of 100 to 350 ° C. on the downstream side of the boiler. In the exhaust gas treatment path to be maintained, a chlorine compound is introduced in a range where the total chlorine concentration in the exhaust gas does not exceed 350 ppm.

前記したように、高温域で塩素化合物を投入することは、ボイラシステムにおける高度な保守性を必要とする部位に塩素化合物を触れさせることになること、高温域では成果物としたい塩化水銀が、むしろ解離して、遊離の水銀となることから、中温域の100〜350℃の温度域に保たれており、一定の反応時間を保つことができて、生成した塩化水銀が、経路中の排ガスの処理手段で除去可能な場所に投入することとした。   As described above, when a chlorine compound is introduced in a high temperature range, the chlorine compound is brought into contact with a site requiring high maintainability in the boiler system, and in the high temperature range, mercury chloride to be a product is obtained. Rather, since it is dissociated and becomes free mercury, it is kept in a temperature range of 100 to 350 ° C. in the middle temperature range, and can maintain a certain reaction time, and the generated mercury chloride is exhaust gas in the path. It was decided to put it in a place where it can be removed by the above processing means.

温度域の選択についての下限域の100℃は、これに満たない低温では、経路中の滞留時間内で、完全な塩素化が進行せず、上限域の350℃をこえると、前記したように、反応平衡が不利な方向へ移動すること、しかも腐蝕性が高くなることによる。しかし、好ましくは100〜300℃の範囲がよい。   The lower limit of 100 ° C. for the selection of the temperature range is as follows. At a low temperature less than this, complete chlorination does not proceed within the residence time in the path, and the upper limit range of 350 ° C. is exceeded. This is because the reaction equilibrium moves in an unfavorable direction and the corrosivity becomes high. However, the range of 100 to 300 ° C. is preferable.

排ガス中の全塩素濃度については、350ppmを越えると、特に腐蝕性が目立ち、装置の保守上からこのましくない。また下限については、特に限定しないが、10ppm未満では、系内の全水銀に対する塩素化反応の反応率が低く満足な除去効果が得られない。ここで全塩素濃度とは、燃料石炭中に含まれて、入る塩素量と系内に添加する塩素量との総和から求められる塩素濃度である。   When the total chlorine concentration in the exhaust gas exceeds 350 ppm, the corrosiveness is particularly noticeable, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of maintenance of the apparatus. Further, the lower limit is not particularly limited, but if it is less than 10 ppm, the reaction rate of the chlorination reaction with respect to the total mercury in the system is low, and a satisfactory removal effect cannot be obtained. Here, the total chlorine concentration is a chlorine concentration obtained from the sum of the amount of chlorine contained in the fuel coal and added to the system.

用いる塩素化合物は、前記温度範囲で水銀と反応性を示すものなら特に限定はないが、塩酸、塩素などの揮発性物質、塩化ナトリウム、塩化カリウム、塩化カルシウム、などの金属塩、塩化アンモニュウムなどのアンモニュウム塩、有機アミンの塩酸塩、塩化メチル、クロルベンゼンなどの有機塩化物が例として揚げることができる。   The chlorine compound to be used is not particularly limited as long as it is reactive with mercury in the above temperature range, but volatile substances such as hydrochloric acid and chlorine, metal salts such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride and calcium chloride, ammonium chloride and the like. Organic chlorides such as ammonium salts, hydrochlorides of organic amines, methyl chloride, chlorobenzene can be used as examples.

投入する時の形態は、ガス状、水溶液状、微粉状などを、物質によって選択することができる。   The form at the time of charging can be selected from substances such as gas, aqueous solution, and fine powder.

更に、本発明のボイラ排ガス中の水銀除去方法は、前記塩素化合物を投入する排ガス処理経路が、排ガスの脱硫装置入り口であることを特徴とする。   Further, the method for removing mercury in boiler exhaust gas according to the present invention is characterized in that the exhaust gas treatment path into which the chlorine compound is introduced is an exhaust gas desulfurization apparatus inlet.

これにより、脱硫装置内で塩化水銀が反応生成するとともに、該塩化水銀は脱硫装置に加えられる脱硫剤中に溶解して、除去される。   Thereby, mercury chloride reacts and generates in the desulfurization apparatus, and the mercury chloride is dissolved and removed in the desulfurization agent added to the desulfurization apparatus.

更に、本発明のボイラ排ガス中の水銀除去方法は、前記塩素化合物を投入する排ガス処理経路が、排ガスの脱硫装置空間であって、前記塩素化合物を湿式脱硫装置の脱硫剤溶液中に溶解して投入することを特徴とする。   Further, in the method for removing mercury in boiler exhaust gas of the present invention, the exhaust gas treatment path into which the chlorine compound is introduced is an exhaust gas desulfurization device space, and the chlorine compound is dissolved in a desulfurization agent solution of a wet desulfurization device. It is characterized by charging.

更に、本発明のボイラ排ガス中の水銀除去方法は、前記塩素化合物を投入する排ガス処理経路が、排ガスの集塵装置入り口であることを特徴とする。   Further, the method for removing mercury in boiler exhaust gas according to the present invention is characterized in that the exhaust gas treatment path into which the chlorine compound is introduced is an exhaust gas dust collector entrance.

これにより、集塵装置内で塩化水銀が反応生成するとともに、該塩化水銀は集塵装置内に滞留するフライアッシュに吸着されて、除去される。   Thereby, mercury chloride reacts and is generated in the dust collector, and the mercury chloride is adsorbed and removed by the fly ash staying in the dust collector.

更に、本発明の他の側面であるボイラ排ガス中の水銀除去装置は、少なくとも排ガスの脱硫装置若しくは排ガスの集塵装置を有する、石炭焚きボイラの排ガスを処理する装置において、ボイラ下流側で、100〜300℃の温度域を保つ排ガス処理経路中に接続され、排ガス中の全塩素濃度が350ppmを超えない範囲で、塩素化合物を投入する塩素化合物投入手段を有することを特徴とする。   Furthermore, a mercury removing apparatus for boiler exhaust gas according to another aspect of the present invention is an apparatus for treating exhaust gas from a coal-fired boiler having at least an exhaust gas desulfurization apparatus or an exhaust gas dust collector. It is connected to an exhaust gas treatment path maintaining a temperature range of ˜300 ° C., and has a chlorine compound charging means for charging a chlorine compound in a range where the total chlorine concentration in the exhaust gas does not exceed 350 ppm.

塩素化合物投入手段は投入物質の形態によるが、例えば水溶液として添加する場合、予め調整した塩化物水溶液を保留する塩化物タンク、該タンクより前記経路に定量的に圧入可能なポンプを備え、その圧入口を投入箇所に配管で接続された塩素化合物投入手段であることができる。また、ガス状の場合は、投入物質の装填されたガスボンベ、流量を調節できる弁を備え、その圧入口を投入箇所に配管で接続された塩素化合物投入手段であることができる。更に、系内の全塩素濃度を検出して、その値により、流量を制御可能な制御装置を備えても良い。   The chlorine compound charging means depends on the form of the charged substance. For example, when adding as an aqueous solution, the chlorine compound charging means includes a chloride tank for holding a previously prepared chloride aqueous solution, and a pump capable of quantitatively press-fitting into the path from the tank. It can be a chlorine compound charging means in which the inlet is connected to the charging point by piping. Further, in the case of a gaseous state, it can be a chlorine compound charging means provided with a gas cylinder charged with an input substance, a valve capable of adjusting the flow rate, and having a pressure inlet connected to the input position by piping. Furthermore, you may provide the control apparatus which can detect the total chlorine concentration in a system, and can control a flow volume by the value.

更に、本発明のボイラ排ガス中の水銀除去装置は、前記塩素化合物投入手段が、排ガスの脱硫装置入り口に接続されていることを特徴とする。   Furthermore, the mercury removing apparatus for boiler exhaust gas according to the present invention is characterized in that the chlorine compound charging means is connected to an exhaust gas desulfurization apparatus inlet.

更に、本発明のボイラ排ガス中の水銀除去装置は、前記塩素化合物を投入する排ガス処理経路が、排ガスの脱硫装置空間であって、前記塩素化合物を湿式脱硫装置の脱硫剤溶液中に溶解して投入することを可能とする塩素化合物投入手段を有することを特徴とする。   Further, in the apparatus for removing mercury in boiler exhaust gas according to the present invention, the exhaust gas treatment path into which the chlorine compound is introduced is an exhaust gas desulfurization device space, and the chlorine compound is dissolved in a desulfurization agent solution of a wet desulfurization device. It is characterized by having a chlorine compound charging means that can be charged.
