Abstract

An object of the present invention is to easily reduce dust having large particle diameter that affects blocking and abrasion to prevent deposition thereof in a reactor. An exhaust gas NOx removal apparatus comprises a NOx removal rector having a catalyst layer for removing nitrogen oxides in a combustion exhaust gas; a duct structure having a stab-up point at which a flow of the exhaust gas changes from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction in an exhaust gas duct on the upstream side of the NOx removal reactor; a tilt thin plate slit in which a number of thin plates are disposed in the duct of the horizontal direction of an inlet of the stub-up point or/and in an inlet of the catalyst layer in the NOx removal reactor in a vertical direction with a slit width smaller than an opening width of the catalyst layer at a predetermined inclination angle relative to the cross-section of an exhaust gas flow path; and a dust collecting/discharging portion attached to the lower end of a tilt thin plate slit.

Claims (16)

1. An exhaust gas NOx removal apparatus comprising:

a NOx removal reactor having a catalyst layer for removing nitrogen oxides in a combustion exhaust gas;

a duct located upstream of the NOx removal reactor, the duct having a stub-up point at which a flow of the exhaust gas changes from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction in the duct;

a screen ( 13 A) comprising a number of thin plates which are disposed in a plane parallel to each other to form vertical slits, a width of the slits being smaller than an opening width of the catalyst layer, the screen ( 13 A) being located in a horizontal portion of the duct at an inlet side of the stub-up point, and the screen ( 13 A) being tilted at a predetermined angle relative to the cross-section of an exhaust gas flow path; and

a dust collecting/discharging portion ( 11 ) attached to the lower end of the screen ( 13 A).

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a screen ( 13 B) comprising a number of thin plates which are disposed in a plane parallel to each other to form vertical slits; a width of the slits being smaller than an opening width of the catalyst layer, the screen ( 13 B) being located in an inlet duct of the catalyst layer in the NOx removal reactor, and the screen ( 13 B) being tilted at a predetermined angle relative to the cross-section of an exhaust gas flow path; and

a dust collecting/discharging portion ( 12 ) attached to the lower end of the screen ( 13 B).

3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the opening width of the catalyst layer is 3 to 10 mm, the height of the thin plates is 30 to 100 mm, and the tilt angle of the screens ( 13 A, 13 B) is 5 to 45 degrees relative to a horizontal direction.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the opening width of the catalyst layer is 3 to 10 mm, the height of the thin plates is 30 to 100 mm, and the tilt angle of the screen ( 13 A) is 5 to 45 degrees relative to a horizontal direction.

5. An exhaust gas NOx removal apparatus comprising

a NOx removal reactor having a catalyst layer for removing nitrogen oxides in a combustion exhaust gas;

a duct located upstream of the NOx removal reactor, the duct having a stub-up point at which a flow of the exhaust gas changes from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction in the duct;

a screen ( 13 B) comprising a number of thin plates which are disposed in a plane parallel to each other to form vertical slits, a width of the slits being smaller than an opening width of the catalyst layer, the screen ( 13 B) being located in an inlet duct of the catalyst layer in the NOx removal reactor, and the screen ( 13 B) being tilted at a predetermined angle relative to the cross-section of an exhaust gas flow path; and

a dust collecting/discharging portion ( 12 ) attached to the lower end of the screen ( 13 B).

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the opening width of the catalyst layer is 3 to 10 mm, the height of the thin plates is 30 to 100 mm, and the tilt angle of the screen ( 13 B) is 5 to 45 degrees relative to a horizontal direction.
