Abstract

AbstractTo effectively reduce SO2 emissions, flue gas desulfurization methods are widely used in coal‐fired power plants. In desulfurization, the dry sorbent injection (DSI) technology has the advantages of high desulfurization efficiency, simple operation, convenient adjustment, and low initial investment. Here, a pilot‐scale experimental system was designed and built to investigate the desulfurization characteristics of the DSI technology. The influence of the residence time of the desulfurizer, the reaction temperature, the stoichiometric ratio of the desulfurization reaction, the particle size of the desulfurizer, the inlet SO2 concentration, the dust concentration, and the water vapor content in the flue gas on the desulfurization efficiency at low SO2 concentrations was studied by injecting NaHCO3 into the pipeline. The desulfurization efficiency can be significantly improved by reducing the desulfurizer particle size or increasing the water vapor content in the flue gas at low SO2 concentration. An empirical formula describing the dependence of the desulfurization efficiency on experimental parameters is given.
