摘要:
The present invention provides a flue gas conditioning system and method for generating conditioning agent used in the removal of entrained particles in a flue gas flow with an electrostatic precipitator. The invention involves a catalytic converter that is operable between an operative position where the flue gas is exposed to the catalyst and converts SO.sub.2 contained in the flue gas to SO.sub.3 when conditioning agent is needed and an inoperative position where the flue gas is not exposed to the catalyst when conditioning agent is no longer needed. The catalytic converter and related assembly may take variable configurations to accommodate various flue gas ductworks and space limitations and may carry one or more SO.sub.2 /SO.sub.3 converters providing a plurality of open and generally parallel flow paths of the flue gas.

The converter offers improved thermal efficiencies and compactness.
摘要:
Apparatus and process for the catalytic gaseous phase reaction of a feed gas mixture. The apparatus includes a reactor having two ends which alternately serve as an inlet for the feed gas mixture and as an outlet for reacted gas and two stationary heat exchange/reaction zones connected by a center zone. Each of the heat exchange/reaction zones contains a layer of catalyst and the center zone contains a feed gas mixture inlet. A first distribution/collection zone is between one of the heat exchange/reaction zones and one of the ends of the reactor and a second distribution/collection zone is between the other heat exchange/reaction zone and the other end of the reactor. In the process, the heat exchange/reaction zones are alternately heated and cooled by periodically reversing the direction of flow of gas through the reactor. As an intermediate step in each complete reversal of the direction of flow of gas through the reactor, the feed gas is introduced into the center zone and reacted in the heat exchange/reaction zone which was being heated immediately prior to the intermediate step, reacted gas is discharged from the end of the reactor which served as the reacted gas outlet immediately prior to the intermediate step, unreacted feed gas trapped in the distribution/collection zone between the heat exchange/reaction zone which was being cooled and the end of the reactor which served as the feed gas inlet immediately prior to the intermediate step is displaced to the center zone, and the displaced unreacted gas is combined with feed gas mixture being introduced into the reactor.

摘要:
When condensing sulfuric acid from gases containing sulfuric acid vapor and steam in excess, e.g. originating from a power station, a substantial decrease of the amount minute droplets of sulfuric acid (the so-called acid mist) escaping to the surroundings is obtained, even in cases where the sulfuric acid plant is equipped with an aerosol filter, if minute nucleation cores are incorporated into the gas in an amount of 10.sup.9 to 10.sup.12 solid particles per Nm.sup.3 per 0.1 % H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 -vapor in the gas. The nucelation cores may, e.g., be generated by combusting hydrocarbons with>2 carbon atoms or silicones, or added as smoke from an electric arc or welding.
摘要:
An improved process for manufacture of sulfuric acid by catalytic oxidation of wet sulfur dioxide gas. Wet conversion gas is contacted with sulfuric acid in a heat recovery stage to effect absorption and generate the heat of absorption. Wet gas having a mole ratio of sulfur trioxide to water vapor of at least 0.95 is introduced into the heat recovery stage at a temperature above the dew point of the gas. Sulfuric acid is introduced into the heat recovery absorption stage at a temperature of at least about 170.degree. C. and a concentration between about 98.5% and about 99.5%. The sulfuric acid stream as discharged from the absorption stage is at a temperature of at least about 190.degree. C. and has a concentration between about 99% and about 100%. The heat of absorption is recovered from the discharge absorption acid stream in useful form by transfer of heat to another fluid in a heat exchanger, the another fluid being heated to a temperature of at least about 140.degree. C. The exit gas stream from the heat recovery stage is contacted with sulfuric acid in a condensing stage for absorption of residual sulfur trioxide and condensation of sulfuric acid vapor. The liquid/gas contact in the condensing stage is carried out before the exit gas is either exhausted from the process or catalytically oxidized to produce additional sulfur trioxide.
摘要:
Flue gases etc. may contain SO.sub.2 which should be prevented from admission to the atmosphere. SO.sub.2 is oxidized to SO.sub.3 and condensed with steam to H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 -vapors which are condensed in vertical glass tubes cooled from the outside. In principle the condensate is collected near the bottom of the tubes. In the cooling process a mist of very small H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 droplets is formed and tends to escape to the atmosphere. Environmental regulations continually increase the demands on reducing the amount of acid mist escaping. According to the invention an important method to achieve a reduction of the escape of acid mist is to pass the gas leaving each tube through an aerosol filter in gastight connection with the tube top. Such a filter may consist of acid resistant fibres or filaments having a thickness of 0.04-0.7 mm and may be arranged in specified manners to ensure a drop of pressure through below 20 mbar. Moreover, the sulfuric acid caught in the filter is caused to flow downwardly through the tube countercurrently with the feed gas. Various embodiments of filters and filter media for the purpose are disclosed. The sulfuric acid recovered is highly pure and highly concentrated.
摘要:
A converter for converting SO.sub.2 to SO.sub.3, having an exterior shell, a central axial core tube, and a number of annular catalyst beds one above the other, placed on support plates and separated by division plates. The shell, core tube, support and division plates are all of stainless steel. The support and division plates are performed in a domed shape to prevent excessive sagging in use and are welded to the shell and core tubes, except for the support plate of the first bed. The first bed is at the bottom of the converter and its support plate is welded to an encircling plenum through which supply gas enters. The plenum shields the shell from the hot first bed and produces abrupt changes in the flow direction of the supply gas to remove entrained particles therefrom. From the first bed the gas flows through an internal axial heat exchanger in the core tube, where the gas is cooled against gas from the intermediate absorber, eliminating the need to remove the very hot first bed gas from the converter with a bellows piping system. The first bed gas enters a second bed at the top of the converter and then leaves the converter via a large diameter exit opening in the shell, which opening is of larger diameter than the height between the second bed support plate and its adjacent division plate. The height difference is accommodated by a slot cut in the division plate and a transition plate welded between the slot and the lower part of the exit opening.
摘要:
In a contact process for transforming sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide, between the contact stages there is provided an interstage absorber for removing sulfur trioxide for the gases emerging from a previous stage. The gases are passed by a venturi system in intimate contact with sulfuric acid into a settling chamber in which sulfuric acid is collected in the sump and then, by another gas/liquid contactor or reagitator, into a further settling chamber with an outlet at its upper end.
