Ⅰ. Working Principle
SDS sodium-based dry desulfurization adopts sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) ultrafine powder as desulfurizer. The desulfurizer is fully mixed and contacted with flue gas, and reacts rapidly with sulfur dioxide (SO₂) under the action of catalysts and accelerants. The reaction continuously proceeds in the reactor, flue duct and bag dust collector. By-products of sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) can be generated within 2 seconds, and then recycled by the bag dust collector for further chemical utilization.
This technology achieves high desulfurization efficiency. Even under the chemical reaction equivalent ratio of 1:1, the desulfurization efficiency can exceed 95%. The desulfurizer is injected at one time without circulation operation.
Desulfurization Mechanism
Sodium bicarbonate is activated by high-temperature flue gas to form a porous popcorn-like microstructure on the surface. The flue gas fully contacts with the activated desulfurizer for chemical reaction. Sulfur dioxide and other acidic substances in flue gas are removed and purified. The dry by-product sodium sulfate is captured by the bag dust collector along with the airflow.
System Composition
The system consists of desulfurizer silo, grinding machine, intermediate silo, metering and feeding system, injection system, dry desulfurization reactor and bag dust collector.
Main Chemical Reaction Equations
2NaHCO₃(S)= Na₂CO₃(s)+H₂O(g)+CO₂(g)
SO₂(g)+Na₂CO₃(s)=Na₂SO₃(s)+CO₂(g)
Partial reaction: SO₂(g)+Na₂CO₃(s)+O₂ = Na₂SO₄(s)+CO₂(g)
Side reactions:
SO₃(g)+Na₂CO₃(s)=Na₂SO₄(s)+CO₂(g)
2HCL(g)+Na₂CO₃(s)= 2NaCL(s)+CO₂(g)
