Abstract:
Factors influencing the simultaneous removal of CO
2 and SO
2 from simulated flue gas by spraying low concentration ammonia solution into a packed column were studied, such as the ammonia concentration, liquid-gas ratio, CO
2 concentration, pH value, reaction temperature and SO
2 concentration, etc., after which optimum working conditions were determined for the continuous cyclic operation, while the effect of experimental parameters on the aerosol emission was analyzed, with control measures proposed for the aerosol entrainment. Results show that the CO
2 removal efficiency increases with rising ammonia concentration, rising liquid-gas ratio, reducing CO
2 concentration and reducing SO
2 concentration; with the reduction of pH value, the CO
2 removal efficiency generally reduces besides the pH value of 9.6-10.2, it keeps basically unchanged; in the temperature range of 15-60 ℃, the highest CO
2 removal efficiency appears at 35 ℃. Above factors slightly affect the SO
2 removal efficiency, which can be kept above 99%. In the continuous cycle operation test for 260 minutes, the CO
2 removal efficiency could reach more than 95% within 5 minutes, maintaining for 30 minutes; the SO
2 removal efficiency could reach almost 100% within 3 minutes, always being kept more than 92%.
