Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a coal-fired flue gas mercury removal adsorbent.
Background
Mercury is not a necessary substance for living activities of organisms, but has strong and lasting toxicity to higher organisms, the research on mercury pollution in various countries is very important, and the source of environmental mercury pollution is mainly artificial mercury pollution. Mercury is one of trace heavy metal elements in coal, mercury escaping from coal worldwide every year due to massive combustion of coal accounts for a large part of mercury released by human activities, and the average mercury content in the coal is in the range of 0.12-0.28 mg/kg according to statistics of environmental protection organization of New Jersey (NJ DEPE) (1993). China is a large energy consumption country, and in the total energy consumption of China, coal accounts for over 75 percent, and over 80 percent of coal is used for direct combustion, particularly in power stations, industrial boilers and civil boilers. According to statistics, the accumulated emission of mercury to the atmosphere in the coal burning industry of China reaches 2493.8 tons since 1978 to 1995. The annual average rate of increase in mercury emissions was 4.8%. At present, coal-fired mercury pollution, particularly mercury discharge in coal-fired power plant boilers and environmental harmfulness have attracted attention from countries all over the world. China is a large energy consumption country, the raw coal yield of 1989 is more than 10 x 108 tons, and in the total energy consumption of China, coal accounts for more than 75%, and more than 80% of coal is used for direct combustion, particularly in power stations, industrial boilers and civil boilers. According to statistics, the accumulated emission of mercury to the atmosphere in the coal burning industry of China reaches 2493.8 tons since 1978 to 1995. The annual average rate of increase in mercury emissions was 4.8%. This figure will also grow as the economy develops. At present, coal-fired mercury pollution, particularly mercury discharge in coal-fired power plant boilers and environmental harmfulness have attracted attention from countries all over the world. However, with the further research, the pollution problem is solved.
With SO2Compared with the research on the control of pollutants such as NOx, the research on coal-fired mercury separation and treatment methods and mercury treatment adsorbents developed at home and abroad at present starts later. Until the 90 s of the twentieth century, many scholars began to attach attention and research. In 1990, the American Congress passed a revised air purification code. According to this amendment, the united states Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has evaluated the emissions of hazardous pollutants (HAP) from fossil-fueled power plants, and has written a report on the sources of mercury emissions, methods of controlling emissions, and health effects to congress. Since then, the relevant scholars and research institutes in the united states have argued that the research on mercury emissions from coal fired power plants has begun problematically, and that the heat waves for studying mercury emissions have emerged.
At present, from the general view of the developed countries on the control of the emission of pollutants in flue gas, the environmental protection requirement is higher and higher, and the control content is finer and finer. To accommodate these stringent regulations, a new batch of coal-fired flue gas demercuration processes, new devices, and corresponding sorbents should be developed in succession. The research aiming at the coal-fired flue gas mercury-controlling adsorbent is approximately as follows by integrating domestic and foreign documents:
and the mercury in the flue gas is removed by adsorption by using activated carbon as an adsorbent. The garbage incinerator adopts the activated carbon adsorption and cloth bag dust removal technology for controlling the emission of heavy metal mercury, and the mercury removal efficiency of more than 90 percent can be obtained by selecting a proper carbon-mercury (C/Hg) ratio due to higher mercury concentration. For the mercury removal of flue gas of a coal-fired power plant boiler, the mercury concentration is low, the mercury removal efficiency is poor, the carbon mercury (C/Hg) ratio is properly increased, the mercury removal efficiency can reach more than 30%, but the method has high cost and is difficult to bear by a coal-fired power plant.
With calcium-based adsorbents (CaO, Ca (OH)2、CaCO3、CaSO4·2H2O) to remove mercury. In experiments carried out in simulation of coal-fired flue gas, it was found that Ca (OH)2For HgCl2The adsorption efficiency of the mercury can reach 85 percent, but the mercury can not adsorb the mercury (Hg) in the mercury0) Only at SO2In the presence of 18% Hg0Can be removed. Alkaline adsorbents like CaO also adsorb HgCl very well2,SO2When present, to Hg0The removal rate of (D) was 35%. At present, the calcium-based adsorbent is still in a laboratory research stage and is not used in industrial practice, and the method only treats Hg in flue gas of a coal power station boiler2+Has higher removal rate to Hg in the flue gas of the coal-fired power station boiler0The removal effect is not significant.
Zeolite materials are used as adsorbents for industrial boilers to control mercury emissions. One has added a known amount of elemental mercury (Hg) to the coal combustion flue gas0) The experiment shows that the zeolite can adsorb Hg at high temperatureand low temperature0And Hg2+. The zeolite material is still under research, the engineering application is still immature, and the efficiency of removing mercury from the flue gas of the coal-fired power station boiler is still to be improved.
The fly ash is used as an adsorbent to remove mercury in the flue gas. The fly ash generated by the fire coal can absorb mercury in flue gas, the fly ash with high carbon content is very beneficial to mercury adsorption, but scientists think that the carbon content of the fly ash is greatly increased, and the mercury adsorption capacity of the fly ash cannot be correspondingly improved. Furthermore, fly ash with high carbon content has low resistivity, which reduces the dust removal efficiency of the ESP. However, in general, the removal rate of the total mercury in the flue gas of the coal-fired power station boiler by the adsorbents is too low to popularize and apply.
At present, the mercury pollution control technology is applied to the industry of garbage incinerators abroad, and China does not have an industrial device special for removing mercury in flue gas. In view of the low mercury concentration and the high removal difficulty in the coal-fired flue gas, the technology in the field is in the industrial test and the pilot plant stage abroad, and is not popularized on a large scale. With increasingly stringent environmental requirements, the pollution control of heavy metals, especially mercury, from coal combustion is a matter of course. The preparation method of the adsorbent disclosed by the patent provides a foundation for occasions for controlling mercury emission in flue gas, such as coal-fired boilers, waste incineration boilers and some chemical manufacturers needing tail gas treatment, can be applied in a large scale after the coal-fired mercury pollution emission control standards come out at home and abroad, the mercury emission of coal-fired power station boilers iscontrolled in 2004 in the United states, and China will come out of corresponding environmental protection standards in the near future.
