摘要:
A method to reduce mercury in gas emissions from the combustion of coal is disclosed. Mercury emissions can be reduced by staging combustion process and/or reducing boiler excess oxygen. Fly ash formed under combustion staging conditions is more reactive towards mercury than fly ash formed under typical combustion conditions. Reducing boiler excess oxygen can also improve ability of fly ash to adsorb mercury.

A method for capturing mercury in a flue gas formed by solid fuel combustion including: combusting coal, wherein mercury released during combustion is entrained in flue gas generated by the combustion; generating a thermally activated carbon-containing sorbent by partially gasifying a solid fuel in a gasifier local to the combustion of solid fuel; injecting the gasified gas products into the combustion of coal; injecting the thermally activated sorbent in the flue gas, and collecting the injected sorbent in a waste treatment system.

In a method to decrease emission of mercury, a factor is selected to control a combustion process to generate a flue gas comprising fly ash with enhanced unburned carbon; the combustion process is controlled according to a factor selected from reburning fuel, flue gas temperature, OFA injection, coal particle size, LNB flow, LNB design, combustion zone air, stoichiometric ratio of fuel, fuel/air mixing in a primary combustion zone and fuel/air mixing in a secondary combustion zone to produce the flue gas comprising fly ash with enhanced unburned carbon and to vaporize mercury; and the flue gas is allowed to cool to collect fly ash with enhanced unburned carbon with absorbed mercury. A system to decrease emission of mercury; comprises a combustion zone that is controlled to generate a flue gas comprising fly ash with enhanced unburned carbon and that produces vaporized mercury; and a post combustion zone to cool the flue gas to collect fly ash with enhanced unburned carbon with absorbed mercury.

A method to reduce emissions in flue gas due to combustion of coal in a combustion unit including the steps of: combusting coal in a primary combustion zone of the combustion unit; releasing elemental mercury from the combustion into the flue gas; injecting NH4Cl, NH4Br, or NH4I into the flue gas; oxidizing the elemental mercury with halogen from the additive; adsorbing the oxidized mercury generated by the combustion of the coal with an adsorbent in the flue gas, and collecting the adsorbent with the oxidized mercury in a combustion waste treatment system.
摘要:
A method for continuously removing mercury from a supply of combustion gas is provided. The method includes adjusting a power input to an electrostatic precipitator to control a quantity of fly ash emitted from the electrostatic precipitator. A turbulent flow of combustion gas is produced to suspend particulate matter including the quantity of fly ash contained in the supply of combustion gas. A substantial portion of the mercury is absorbed within the particulate matter including the quantity of fly ash. The supply of combustion gas is filtered to remove the particulate matter from the mercury. A quantity of absorption sites available for absorbing mercury is controlled by monitoring an emission of fly ash from the electrostatic precipitator.

Methods and systems for reducing nitrogen oxides in combustion flue gas is provided. The method includes combusting a fuel in a main combustion zone such that a flow of combustion flue gas is generated wherein the combustion flue gas includes at least one nitrogen oxide species, establishing a fuel-rich zone, forming a plurality of reduced N-containing species in the fuel rich zone, injecting over-fire air into the combustion flue gas downstream of fuel rich zone, and controlling process parameters to provide conditions for the reduced N-containing species to react with the nitrogen oxides in the OFA zone to produce elemental nitrogen such that a concentration of nitrogen oxides is reduced.
