Air pollution control device

1. An air pollution control device for reducing amounts of a nitrogen oxide and mercury contained in a flue gas from a boiler, the device comprising:

a reduction-oxidation auxiliary agent supply unit having a spray nozzle for spraying in a liquid state a reduction-oxidation auxiliary agent that produces an oxidizing gas and a reducing gas upon gasification thereof into a flue gas duct at a downstream of the boiler;

a mixing unit provided on a downstream side of a region where the reduction-oxidation auxiliary agent is gasified, for promoting mixing of the oxidizing gas and the reducing gas, which are produced upon the gasification of the reduction-oxidation auxiliary agent, with the flue gas;

a reduction-denitration unit including a denitration catalyst for reducing a nitrogen oxide in the flue gas with the reducing gas and for oxidizing mercury under coexistence with the oxidizing gas;

a wet desulfurization unit for reducing the amount of mercury oxidized in the reduction-denitration unit using an alkali absorbent,

mixing promoting auxiliary members including a plurality of guide vanes connected to each other provided upstream of the reduction-denitration unit and downstream of the mixing unit, for promoting the mixing of the oxidizing gas and the reducing gas into the flue gas, the mixing promoting auxiliary members comprising a plurality of plate-shaped members extending in a direction perpendicular to ribs, the ribs extending between the plurality of guide vanes for disturbing the gas flow of the flue gas, and

a current plate for equalizing a gas flow of the flue gas provided upstream of the reduction-denitration unit and downstream of the plurality of guide vanes,

wherein the mixing unit is a spreading and swirling plate provided peripherally in the flue gas duct and formed in a flat plate shape on an upstream side in a gas flow of the flue gas in the flue gas duct and formed in a corrugated shape toward a downstream side in the gas flow of the flue gas, and

the spreading and swirling plate is formed in such a way that an amplitude of the corrugated shape is increased toward the downstream side in the gas flow of the flue gas.

2. The air pollution control device according to claim 1 , wherein the reduction-oxidation auxiliary agent supply unit includes an ammonium chloride solution tank.

3. The air pollution control device according to claim 1 , comprising one of or both of an ammonia gas supply unit for supplying an ammonia gas into the flue gas duct and a hydrogen chloride gas supply unit for supplying a hydrogen chloride gas into the flue gas duct, which are provided between the reduction-oxidation auxiliary agent supply unit and the reduction-denitration unit.

4. The air pollution control device according to claim 1 , wherein the spray nozzle includes:

a reduction-oxidation auxiliary agent supply pipe that supplies the reduction-oxidation auxiliary agent in the liquid state; and

an air supply pipe that is provided to surround the reduction-oxidation auxiliary agent supply pipe and supply air.

5. The air pollution control device according to claim 1 , wherein

protruding members are provided on an inner wall of the flue gas duct so as to reduce an open width of the flue gas duct, the protruding members being provided downstream of a supply position at which the reduction-oxidation auxiliary agent is supplied into the flue gas duct; or

a narrowed portion for narrowing a passage in the flue gas duct is provided downstream of the supply position.
