Abstract

A wet type exhaust gas desulfurization apparatus includes an absorption tower desulfurizing exhaust gas by causing the exhaust gas to come into gas-liquid contact with an absorbent, a spray mechanism spraying the absorbent into the tower, an oxidization mechanism provided in a bottom portion of the tower and supplying oxygen to the absorbent that accumulates inside the tower, a circulation mechanism feeding the absorbent from a discharge port formed in the bottom portion of the tower, to the spray mechanism, and a liquid ejection mechanism including a hydraulic nozzle ejecting liquid into the tower. In this apparatus, the oxidization mechanisms are provided with an interval in a horizontal direction relative to the discharge port. Furthermore, in the apparatus, the hydraulic nozzle is installed in the bottom portion of the tower and is provided at a location between the oxidization mechanism and the discharge port.

Claims (15)

1. A wet type exhaust gas desulfurization apparatus comprising:

an absorption tower configured to desulfurize exhaust gas by causing the exhaust gas to come into gas-liquid contact with an absorbent;

a spray mechanism configured to spray the absorbent into the absorption tower;

an oxidization mechanism that is provided in a bottom portion of the absorption tower and is configured to supply oxygen to absorbent accumulating inside the absorption tower;

a circulation mechanism configured to feed the absorbent from a discharge port, which is formed in the bottom portion of the absorption tower, to the spray mechanism; and

a pair of liquid ejection mechanisms including a pair of hydraulic nozzles configured to eject liquid into the absorption tower respectively;

wherein multiple oxidization mechanisms are arranged apart from one another in a horizontal direction relative to the discharge port of the absorption tower; and

wherein the pair of hydraulic nozzles is installed to mutually opposing side surfaces in the bottom portion of the absorption tower respectively such that liquid ejection ports of the pair of the hydraulic nozzles are provided at mutually opposing locations between the oxidation mechanism and the discharge port of the absorption tower.

2. The wet type exhaust gas desulfurization apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

each hydraulic nozzle is arranged at a location closer to the discharge port than to the oxidation mechanism, in a horizontal direction, between the oxidization mechanism and the discharge port of the absorption tower.

3. The wet type exhaust gas desulfurization apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

each liquid ejection mechanism includes a liquid supply tube configured to feed liquid to the respective hydraulic nozzle, and a liquid supply pump attached to the liquid supply tube, and

each liquid ejection mechanism is configured such that the liquid lifted by the liquid supply pump, is fed to the respective hydraulic nozzle via the liquid supply tube from outside the absorption tower.

4. The wet type exhaust gas desulfurization apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the liquid ejection mechanism is configured to start and stop separately and independently from the spray mechanism, the oxidization mechanism, and the circulation mechanism.
