Abstract

An exhaust gas treatment system is provided that can sufficiently remove pollutants such as SO 3 contained in combustion exhaust gas at low cost. In the exhaust gas treatment system for removing pollutants such as SO 3 contained in combustion exhaust gas, there is provided dissolved salt aqueous solution sprays 35 A, 35 B, and 35 C, that spray an Na 2 SO 4 aqueous solution obtained from desulfurization effluent of a wet desulfurization system, into a flue though which the combustion exhaust gas flows.

Claims (22)

1. An exhaust gas treatment system for removing at least one of the group consisting of sulfur trioxide, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, mercury chloride, hydrogen sulfide, and carbonyl sulfide from combustion exhaust gas, wherein

there is provided a spraying device which sprays an aqueous solution containing a dissolved salt of or a sulfate of any one of Na, K, Mg and Ca, into a flue through which said combustion exhaust gas flows.

2. An exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 1 , comprising a wet desulfurization system, and

said aqueous solution is desulfurization effluent of said wet desulfurization system.

3. An exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein an outlet temperature of said spraying device is 130° C.

4. An exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 1 , provided with an air heater that heats air which is supplied to a combustion furnace, by an amount of heat obtained from combustion exhaust gas, and

said spraying device is provided on an upstream side of said air heater.

5. An exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 1 , provided with: an air heater that heats air which is supplied to a combustion furnace, by an amount of heat obtained from combustion exhaust gas; and

a dry electrostatic precipitator provided on a downstream side of said air heater, and

said spraying device is provided between said air heater and said dry electrostatic precipitator.

6. An exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 1 , provided with: an air heater that heats air which is supplied to a combustion furnace, by an amount of heat obtained from combustion exhaust gas;

a dry electrostatic precipitator provided on a downstream side of said air heater; and

a wet desulfurization system provided on a downstream side of said dry electrostatic precipitator, and

said spraying device is provided between said dry electrostatic precipitator and said wet desulfurization system, and in an immediate vicinity of said wet desulfurization system.

7. An exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 1 , provided with: an air heater that heats air which is supplied to a combustion furnace, by an amount of heat obtained from combustion exhaust gas;

a dry electrostatic precipitator provided on a downstream side of said air heater; and

a wet desulfurization system provided on a downstream side of said dry electrostatic precipitator, and

said spraying device is provided in any of two places: on an upstream side of said air heater; between said air heater and said dry electrostatic precipitator; and between said dry electrostatic precipitator and said wet desulfurization system, and in an immediate vicinity of said wet desulfurization system.

8. An exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 1 , provided with a wet electrostatic precipitator or a dielectric flue gas treatment system.

9. An exhaust gas treatment method for removing at least one of the group consisting of sulfur trioxide, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, mercury chloride, hydrogen sulfide, and carbonyl sulfide from combustion exhaust gas, comprising

spraying an aqueous solution containing a dissolved salt of a chloride or a sulfate of any one of Na, K, Mg and Ca, into a flue through which said combustion exhaust gas flows.

10. An exhaust gas treatment system according to claim 3 , wherein an outlet temperature of said spraying device is preferably 140° C. or more.
