Abstract

Provided is an air pollution control system including: a denitration apparatus; an air heater; a precipitator; a desulfurization apparatus; a dehydrator; a spray drying apparatus provided with a spray unit that is configured to spray dehydrated filtrate as desulfurization wastewater supplied from the dehydrator; a flue gas introduction line through which a branch gas branched from the flue gas is introduced to the spray drying apparatus; a flue gas supply line through which flue gas returns to a main flue gas duct, the flue gas being obtained after the dehydrated filtrate is dried by the spray drying apparatus; and a powder supply apparatus that is configured to supply a powder to the flue gas introduction line.

Claims (18)

1. An air pollution control system comprising:

an air heater that is configured to recover heat of a flue gas after combustion;

a precipitator that is configured to remove soot and dust contained in the flue gas after heat recovery;

a desulfurization apparatus that is configured to remove sulfur oxides contained in the flue gas after dust removal, using an absorbent;

a dehydrator that is configured to remove gypsum from absorber slurry discharged from the desulfurization apparatus;

a spray drying apparatus that is provided with a spray unit which is configured to spray dehydrated filtrate supplied from the dehydrator;

a flue gas introduction line that is connected between a main flue gas duct and the spray drying apparatus and is configured to branch some of the flue gas flowing through the main flue gas duct to be introduced to the spray drying apparatus;

a flue gas supply line that is connected between the spray drying apparatus and the main flue gas duct at a downstream side of where the flue gas introduction line branched therefrom and is configured to return the flue gas obtained after the dehydrated filtrate is dried by the spray drying apparatus to the main flue gas duct; and

a soot and dust supply unit that is configured to forcedly supply soot and dust contained in the flue gas to the flue gas introduction line.

2. The air pollution control system according to claim 1 , the soot and dust supply unit is configured that the main flue gas duct extending from a denitration apparatus is connected to the flue gas introduction line without having a bent portion such that gas flow of some of the flue gas from the main flue gas duct to the flue gas introduction line proceeds straight.

3. The air pollution control system according to claim 1 , wherein the soot and dust supply unit is configured that an opening of an air supply line provided with a pushing blower and an opening of the flue gas introduction line are faced with each other in the main flue gas duct extending from a denitration apparatus such that some of the flue gas is forcedly pushed toward the flue gas introduction line by pushed air due to the pushing blower.

4. The air pollution control system according to claim 1 , wherein the soot and dust supply unit is configured that a guide vane is provided in the main flue gas duct extending from a denitration apparatus such that some of the flue gas is introduced toward the flue gas introduction line by a guide of the guide vane.

5. An air pollution control method comprising:

recovering heat of a flue gas after combustion by an air heater;

removing sulfur oxides contained in the flue gas after heat recovery using an absorbent in a desulfurization apparatus;

introducing a branch gas into a spray drying apparatus while forcedly supplying soot and dust to the branch gas;

performing spray-drying with the branch gas including the soot and dust; and

collecting a sulfuric acid mist to be generated.
