Mechanistic study on NO reduction by sludge reburning in a pilot scale cement precalciner with different CO2 concentrations.

An experimental study on the effects of CO2 concentration on the release of reducing gases and the NO reduction efficiency by sludge reburning was carried out in a pilot scale cement precalciner. The results indicate that sludge reburning shows an ideal NO reduction activity. The best NO reduction efficiency of 54% is reached when the CO2 concentration is 25 vol%. Characteristic analysis of the sludge shows that the main types of reducing gases generated by sludge reburning are HCN, NH3, CO and CH4. Among them, CO2 concentration plays a crucial role in the release of HCN, CO and CH4. The mechanistic study indicates that NO reduction is dominated by homogeneous reduction during the sludge reburning process, in particular the reducing gases of CO and NH3 have significant influences on the NO reduction. Meanwhile, the effect of CO2 concentration on NO reduction is mainly due to the difference in CO release. The results of the present study not only provide insight into the mechanism of NO reduction by sludge reburning, but could also contribute to the development of NO X removal technology in the cement industry.

[Purification of complicated industrial organic waste gas by complex absorption].

Complicated industrial organic waste gas with the characteristics of low concentration,high wind volume containing inorganic dust and oil was employed the research object by complex absorption. Complex absorption mechanism, process flow, purification equipment and engineering application were studied. Three different surfactants were prepared for the composite absorbent to purify exhaust gas loaded with toluene and butyl acetate, respectively. Results show that the low surface tension of the composite absorbent can improve the removal efficiency of toluene and butyl acetate. With the advantages of the water film, swirl plate and fill absorption device, efficient absorption equipment was developed for the treatment of complicated industrial organic waste gas. It is with superiorities of simple structure, small size, anti-jam and high mass transfer. Based on absorption technology, waste gas treatment process integrated with heating stripping, burning and anaerobic and other processes, so that emissions of waste gas and absorption solution could meet the discharge standards. The technology has been put into practice, such as manufacturing and spraying enterprises.
