The present invention relates to a dust collecting module for collecting dust contained in an exhaust gas, to a desulfurizing apparatus for removing sulfur oxides and employing the dust collecting module, and to a method of installing the dust collecting module.
In general, acidic components such as hydrogen chloride (HCl), sulfur oxides (SOx), hydrogen fluoride (HF), and similar components, which are present in the exhaust gas generated during combustion of materials in steelworks or boilers in large-scale incineration plants or thermal power plants, cause air pollution and are harmful to the human body. Such components are removed from the exhaust gas through various methods.
The method for removing sulfur dioxide in the exhaust gas includes a dry desulfurization process in which dry powders, such as slaked lime or activated carbon, as a neutralizing agent are injected into and brought into contact with exhaust gas during the discharge of the exhaust gas to remove sulfur components from the exhaust gas, and a wet desulfurization process in which an absorption solution containing an aqueous slurry of caustic soda, magnesium hydroxide, or limestone, which is as a neutralizing agent, is sprayed onto and brought into contact with exhaust gas to remove sulfur components from the exhaust gas.
In wet desulfurization, the exhaust gas is gas-liquid contacted with an absorbing fluid containing an alkali such as lime, so that SO2 is absorbed and removed from the exhaust gas. As a result, SO2 absorbed from the exhaust gas forms sulfite in the absorbing fluid. In order to oxidize the sulfite to form a stable sulfite, it is conventional to oxidize the sulfite by blowing air into the absorbing fluid.
A conventionally used wet-type flue gas desulfurizing apparatus is a so-called oxidation tank type. In this type of apparatus, an oxygen-containing gas (typically air) is blown into the tank of an absorption tower, where the oxygen-containing gas is brought into contact with the slurry (containing a calcium compound such as lime) having sulfur dioxide absorbed therein to oxidize the sulfur dioxide in the tank.
The air discharged from the desulfurizing apparatus is removed by an electrostatic dust collector, which is installed separately from the desulfurizing apparatus to collect the dust contained in the flue gas.
Typically, in the electrostatic dust collector, the particulate matter is charged by the corona discharge of a discharge electrode, and the charged particulate matter is collected on a dust collecting plate by electrostatic force. The electrostatic dust collector has a large number of discharge electrodes and dust collecting electrodes. However, the consumed time and costs to install the discharge electrodes and the dust collecting electrodes are burdensome. Moreover, in order to individually install a large number of discharge electrodes and dust collecting electrodes in a large-scale structure, dangerous work must be performed in a high structure.

Referring to
The desulfurizing apparatus 1000 may include an absorption tower 1200, a plurality of absorption liquid supply pipes 1410, a plurality of absorption liquid pumps 1470, a stirrer 1460, an oxidizing air supply unit 1450, a perforated plate 1420 for removal of droplets, and a dust collecting module 100.
The absorption tower 1200 has a columnar shape having an inlet, an outlet, and an internal space, and serves to remove sulfur components and fine dust contained in the exhaust gas in the absorption tower 1200. The absorption tower 1200 is provided on a lower side with an inlet portion 1310 through which exhaust gas is introduced, and is provided on an upper side with an outlet portion 1320 through which is discharged exhaust gas with sulfur components and fine dust removed. The inlet portion 1310 has a tubular shape, and an exhaust gas generated by the combustion of fossil fuel such as coal in a boiler or the like is introduced into the absorption tower 1200 through the inlet portion 1310 and flows upward. The outlet portion 1320 may be formed from a rectangular tube which protrudes laterally from an upper end of the absorption tower 1200.
The absorption tower 1200 includes a cylindrical section 1210 having a circular cross section, a rectangular column section 1250 formed on the upper part of the column section 1210 and having a rectangular cross section, and an intermediate section 1230 connecting the cylindrical section 1210 and the rectangular column section 1250. The outlet portion 1320 is connected to the upper end of the rectangular column section 1250. A lower end of the intermediate section 1230 has a circular cross section, and an upper end of the intermediate section 1230 has a rectangular cross section.
The absorption liquid supply pipes 1410 supply a slurry of limestone, which is supplied to the lower portion of the absorption tower 1200, upwards to a spray nozzle (not shown) provided on the upper side of the absorption tower 1200, using a pumping force by the absorption liquid pump 1470, so as to allow the absorption liquid to be sprayed into fine droplets through the spray nozzle. The sprayed absorption liquid is brought into contact with and reacts with the exhaust gas. The unreacted absorption liquid falls and is stored and then is pumped and recirculated by the absorption liquid pump 1470.
The lower side of the absorption liquid pipes 1410 may be provided with a perforated plate 1420, a region where the sulfur-containing exhaust gas is brought into contact with and reacts with the fine droplets of the absorption liquid. This region is called a spray zone where the sulfur dioxide contained in the exhaust gas reacts with water to produce sulfurous acid, which in turn reacts with the limestone to neutralize to produce calcium sulfite. The produced calcium sulfite, water, and unreacted absorption liquid fall downward and are stored, and the absorption liquid is recirculated and reused.
Calcium sulfite is oxidized with oxygen and water to produce gypsum and sulfuric acid in a reservoir 1350, in which the absorption liquid is stored, at the lower part of the absorption tower 1200, and the sulfuric acid reacts with limestone again to neutralize to produce gypsum. A plurality of oxidizing air supply units 1450 are connected along the circumference of the bottom of the absorption tower 1200 at regular intervals for oxidation reaction.
In the meantime, an agitator 1460 is provided lower part of the absorption tower 1200 to accelerate the reaction by stirring the limestone slurry. In addition, a slurry supply pipe (not shown) for supplying slurry to the reservoir 1350 may be connected to the lower side of the absorption tower 1200.
A perforated plate 1420 for removing fine droplets may be installed on the upper side of the absorption liquid supply pipes 1410, specifically, in the intermediate section 1230.
A dust collecting module 100 and a frame assembly 20 for supporting the dust collecting module 100 are installed on the upper side of the perforated plate 1420. The dust collection module 100 may be configured such that two layers are stacked, as shown in
A cleaning water supply unit 1430 for removing dust attached to dust collecting electrode 13 is installed on the upper side of the dust collecting module 100. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration of the wash water supply unit 1430, which may be embodied by various conventional structures.

Each of the discharge electrodes 12 has the general shape of a flat plate forming one of a plurality of discharge fins which are spaced apart from each other, and each discharge electrode 12 is provided with a plurality of openings 122 throughout. Thus, the discharge fins are present and effective around each of the openings 122 as well as along the edges of the flat plate. Each opening 122 may have a substantially rectangular shape, and the discharge fins may each have a needle-shaped cross-section.
Each discharge electrode 12 includes a first reinforcing rod 121 (
Each collecting electrode 13 has the general shape of a flat plate and is provided with a plurality of second holes 133 through which the first tie rods 16 pass. To support the collecting electrodes 13, a second reinforcing rod 131 is disposed at an upper portion of each of the collecting electrodes 13. The second reinforcing rod 131 is longer than a width of the collecting electrode 13 and thus protrudes from both sides of the upper portion of the collecting electrode 13.
The plurality of discharge electrodes 12 and the dust collecting electrodes 13 are arranged parallel to each other such that the discharge electrodes 12 are disposed at regular intervals between the dust collecting electrodes 13. The gap G1 between the dust collecting electrode 13 and the discharge electrode 12 may be 50 mm to 70 mm. A ratio G1/H1 of the gap G1 to the height H1 of the dust collecting electrode 13 may be 0.025 to 0.035. When the ratio G1/H1 is 0.025 to 0.035 in this way, the dust collecting efficiency can be maximized with a relatively low charging voltage.
A high voltage is applied to the discharge electrode 12, so that a corona discharge occurs between the discharge electrode 12 and the dust collecting electrode 13 to generate an electrostatic force. In the present disclosure, a high voltage may be in a range of 10 KV to 120 KV. The discharge electrode 12 can be charged to a predetermined voltage, and the predetermined voltage may be in a range of 10 KV to 120 KV.
In other words, the dust collecting module 100 includes an arrangement of a plurality of the discharge electrodes 12 and a plurality of the collecting electrodes 13, which are alternately disposed and spaced apart from each other, and the discharge electrodes 12 are charged to a predetermined high voltage for generating a corona discharge between the electrodes 12 and 13.
During the flow of exhaust gas towards the region where the corona discharge and the electrostatic force are generated, particulate matter is combined with ions (electrons) generated by the corona discharge and is charged, and the charged particulate matter is attached to the dust collector 13 by the electrostatic force.
The height H1 of the dust collecting electrode 13 may be 1.8 m to 2.0 m, and the flow rate (GS1) of the exhaust gas passing through the dust collecting module 100 may be 4.0 m/s to 4.5 m/s. Accordingly, a ratio (GS1/H1) of the flow rate of exhaust gas to the height of the dust collecting electrode 13 may be 2.0 to 2.5. Within this range of GS1/H1 ratios, the volume of the absorption tower 1200 can be reduced and the dust collecting efficiency can also be remarkably improved.
The support network 10 is provided on the discharge electrode 12 and the dust collecting electrode 13 to maintain the gap between the discharge electrode 12 and the dust collecting electrode 13. The support network 10 includes a first tie rod 16, a second tie rod 17, a first setting beam 14, a second setting beam 15, and a center setting beam 18.
The first tie rod 16 is fitted into and coupled to the plurality of discharge electrodes 12 through the second holes 133 formed in the dust collecting electrodes 13 without being in contact with the dust collecting electrodes 13. The first tie rods 16 are provided on respective upper and lower sides of the discharge electrode 12.
A longitudinal end of each first tie rod 16 is threaded. Among the first tie rods 16, those disposed on the lower side are fixed to a lower support 51, and those disposed on the upper side are fixed to an upper support 61.
The second tie rods 17 are fitted into and coupled to the plurality of dust collecting electrodes 13 through the first holes 123 formed in the discharge electrodes 12 without being in contact with the discharge electrodes 12.
The second tie rods 17 may be respectively coupled to the upper and lower sides of the dust collecting electrode 13 and longitudinal ends of the second tie rods 17 may be fixed to the dust collecting electrode 13, though the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. That is, the second tie rods 17 may be fixed to another member in the absorption tower 1200.
The first tie rod 16 and the second tie rod 17 may be provided with spacers for maintaining the gap between the discharge electrodes 12 and the dust collecting electrodes 13. The spacer of the discharge electrode 12 passes through the second hole 133 such that the spacer's longitudinal end abuts the surface of the discharge electrode 12. The spacer of the dust collecting electrode 13 passes through the first hole 123 such that the spacer's longitudinal end abuts the surface of the dust collecting electrode 13.

The first setting beam 14 may include a lower beam 141 and an upper beam 142 coupled to the lower beam 141. The lower beam 141 has a bottom portion 141a and two sidewalls 141b and 141c, the sidewalls 141b and 141c each including a right-angle bend and protruding upwards from both side ends of the bottom portion 141a. The upper beam 142 includes a lower support portion 142a contacting the bottom portion 141a; an outer support portion 142b bent to extend upward from the lower support portion 142a and to abut the sidewall 141c; an inclined portion 142c bent to be inclined from the outer support portion 142b; an upper support portion 142d bent from the inclined portion 142c to be parallel with and spaced apart from the bottom portion 141a; and an inner support portion 142e bent downward from the upper support portion 142d. Moisture can be easily discharged to the outside through the inclined portion 142c.
The lower slots 143 are formed in the sidewalls 141b and 141c and are not formed in the bottom portion 141a. The lower slots 143 are also provided in the upper beam 142 at the lower support portion 142a and the outer support portion 142b. The lower slots 143 formed in the lower and upper beams 141 and 142 communicate with each other, and the first reinforcing rods 121 protrude to the outside through the lower slots 143 formed in the outer sidewall 141b and the outer support portion 142b.
When the upper beam 142 and the lower beam 141 are coupled to each other, the first setting beam 14 is formed into a tubular shape with one side surface cut out. When the first setting beam 14 is divided into the upper beam 142 and the lower beam 141, the first setting beam 14 can be easily welded to the lower beam 141. That is, in a state in which the discharge electrode 12 is welded to the lower beam 141, when the upper beam 142 is coupled to the lower beam 141 and the discharge electrode 12 is welded to the upper beam 142, the discharge electrode 12 can be stably fixed to the first setting beam 14 with the first setting beam 14 formed into a tubular form.
The first reinforcing rod 121 may be made of the same material as the first setting beam 14, and may be thicker than the discharge electrode 12. Thus, the first reinforcing rod 121 may be easily welded to the first setting beam 14. The discharge electrode 12 should have a minimized thickness and excellent electric conductivity. However, if the discharge electrode 12 is thin and highly conductive, there is a problem in that welding is difficult. As described above, according to the first embodiment, since the discharge electrode 12 includes the first reinforcing rod 121, the discharge electrode 12 can be easily welded to the first setting beam 14.

The first reinforcing rod 330 is formed with a support protrusion 331 protruding upward. The support protrusion 331 is installed to pass through the upper end of the first setting beam 14 and may be welded to the first setting beam 14. The support protrusion 331 is joined to the first setting beam 14 by means of a second weld 352.
The first setting beam 14 is formed to extend in the stacking direction of the discharge electrodes 12 and has the plurality of lower slots 143 into which the side ends of the discharge electrodes 12 are inserted. The first reinforcing rod 330 is installed in the first setting beam 14 so that the first reinforcing rod 330 passes through the first setting beam 14 and the lower end of the first reinforcing rod 330 is supported by the first setting beam 14.
The first setting beam 14 may include a lower beam 141 and an upper beam 42 coupled to the lower beam 141. The first weld 351 welds an extension of the first reinforcing rod 330, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the discharge electrode, and the lower beam 141 while the second weld 352 welds the support protrusion 331 and the upper beam 142.
As described above, according to the third embodiment, the support protrusion 331 is formed on the first reinforcement rod 330 and the first reinforcing rod 330 is connected to the first setting beam 14 by the first weld 351 and the second weld 352, so that the discharge electrode 12 can be more stably fixed.
Hereinafter, a desulfurizing apparatus according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Referring to
Also, spacers for maintaining the distance between the dust collecting electrodes may also be provided on the second tie rods. When the first tie rod 210 and the second tie rod are provided with the spacers 230 as in this embodiment, the discharge electrodes 12 and the dust collecting electrodes 13 can be more stably fixed.
Hereinafter, a desulfurizing apparatus according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Referring to
An upper perforated plate 2600 for removing water is provided on an upper part of the cleaning water supply unit 1430. The upper perforated plate 2600 may be a perforated or meshed plate. When the upper perforated plate 2600 is installed as described above, the occurrence of white smoke can be reduced by removing moisture.
A flow guide member 2500 is installed in the intermediate section 1230. The flow guide member 2500 includes a housing 2540 having a lower circular inlet 2510, an upper rectangular outlet 2520, and partition walls. The housing 2540 is inserted into the intermediate section 1230 and has a shape corresponding to the contour of the intermediate section.
The partition walls are installed in a lattice formation to form an inner flow path 2530. The partition walls are formed to extend from the lower inlet 2510 to the upper outlet 2520. The inner flow path 2530 extends such that its cross-sectional area gradually increases from the lower part to the upper part.
As described above, according to the fifth embodiment, the exhaust gas can be uniformly dispersed from the lower circular section to the upper rectangular section by the flow guide member 2500, thereby improving the dust collecting efficiency.
While the exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described in the detailed description, the present invention is not limited thereto, but should be construed as including all of modifications, equivalents, and substitutions falling within the spirit and scope of the invention defined by the appended claims.
