Abstract

A spray drying apparatus includes a gas inlet provided on a side wall in the vicinity of a top portion of the spray drying apparatus, for introducing a flue gas for drying a spray liquid of a dehydration filtrate; a rectifying plate provided in a spray drying apparatus main body, for decelerating the introduced flue gas so as to alter the flue gas flow to a laminar flow; a spray nozzle for spraying the dehydration filtrate emitted from the desulfurization waste water into the flue gas altered to the laminar flow; a gas outlet provided in the vicinity of a bottom portion of the spray drying apparatus main body, for discharging the flue gas contributed to drying of the dehydration filtrate; and a discharge hopper provided on the bottom portion side of the spray drying apparatus main body, for discharging an ash as a spray-dried solid.

Claims (31)

1. A spray drying apparatus of dehydration filtrate from desulfurization waste water comprising:

a gas inlet that is provided on a side wall in the vicinity of a top portion of a spray drying apparatus main body and introduces a flue gas from a boiler;

rectifying plates that are provided in the spray drying apparatus main body;

a spray nozzle that sprays the dehydration filtrate emitted from the desulfurization waste water into the flue gas rectified by the rectifying plates;

a gas outlet that is provided on a side wall in the vicinity of a bottom portion of the spray drying apparatus main body and discharges the flue gas contributed to drying of the dehydration filtrate; and

a solid discharging means that is provided on the bottom portion of the spray drying apparatus main body and discharges a spray-dried solid, wherein

the solid discharging means is provided with a discharge hopper and the discharge hopper is provided with a thermal insulation means.

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

a first protective plate that is provided in the vicinity of a flue gas introduction region in the spray drying apparatus main body and prevents wear of an inner wall surface of the spray drying apparatus main body due to a solid content in the flue gas, wherein

the first protective plate is provided on and along the inner wall surface.

3. The spray drying apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cleaning means that cleans an inner wall circumferential surface of the spray drying apparatus main body.

4. An air pollution control system comprising:

a boiler that combusts fuel;

an air heater that recovers heat of a flue gas from the boiler;

a precipitator that removes soot in the flue gas after heat recovery;

a desulfurization device that removes sulfur oxide contained in the flue gas after dust removal by an absorbent;

a dehydrator that removes a gypsum from a desulfurization waste water to be discharged from the desulfurization device;

the spray drying apparatus according to claim 1 ; and

a flue gas introduction line that introduces a part of the flue gas into the spray drying apparatus main body.

5. The spray drying apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal insulation means of the discharge hopper is steam tracing.

6. The spray drying apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising: insertion jigs that are provided on the inner wall surface of the spray drying apparatus main body, wherein

the first protective plate is provided to be pulled out with respect to the insertion jigs in the vertical axis direction.

7. The spray drying apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein a corrugated surface is formed on a surface of the first protective plate.

8. The spray drying apparatus of according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a second protective plate that is provided in the vicinity of the gas outlet of the bottom portion of the spray drying apparatus main body and prevents wear of the inner wall surface of the spray drying apparatus main body due to the solid content in the flue gas,

wherein the second protective plate is provided on and along the inner wall surface.

9. The spray drying apparatus of according to claim 1 , further comprising: a third protective plate that is provided on an inner wall surface of the discharge hopper.

10. The spray drying apparatus of according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a supply pipe that is inserted from a top portion into the spray drying apparatus main body and supplies the dehydration filtrate to the spray nozzle, wherein

the rectifying plates are vertically and radially provided around the supply pipe.
