  • Patent number: 11408318
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device is disclosed provided with a denitration catalyst for reducing and removing nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas using ammonia as a reducing agent in a gas flow passage through which the exhaust gas discharged from a boiler flows, and which injects ammonia into the exhaust gas flowing through the gas flow passage on an upstream side of the denitration catalyst, including multiple disturbing plate support members, and a disturbing plate. The multiple disturbing plate support members are fixedly provided on a downstream side of the denitration catalyst and arranged extending linearly in a flow path cross section to cross the gas flow passage. The disturbing plate includes an exhaust gas flow facing surface exposed on an upstream side and is fixed to the disturbing plate support members so that a position thereof in the flow path cross section can be changed.

  • Publication number: 20220126280
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a regenerated denitration catalyst whose denitration performance is restored compared with a denitration catalyst before use, utilizing a spent denitration catalyst, and a method for manufacturing the same. In a regenerated denitration catalyst according to the present disclosure, a spent denitration catalyst including a first titanium oxide as a main component, and a second titanium oxide are mixed. The spent denitration catalyst is already used in a denitration reaction in which nitrogen oxides in a gas are decomposed into nitrogen and water using a reducing agent. The second titanium oxide has a larger specific surface area per unit weight than the first titanium oxide. A content of the second titanium oxide based on a total weight of the first titanium oxide and the second titanium oxide is preferably 10% by weight or more and 90% by weight or less.

  • Patent number: 8834801
    Abstract: A vertical downflow type flue gas denitrification apparatus which has a plurality of catalyst blocks, each incorporating a catalyst unit provided therein, is provided with a first ash accumulation baffle plate and a second ash accumulation baffle plate which are slidable into a gap between catalyst blocks adjacent to each other, and processes an exhaust gas emitted from a combustor and turned to a vertical downflow. The denitrification apparatus has a simple configuration where the ash accumulation baffle plates prevent ash or the like from being accumulated in the gap between the catalyst blocks. The thermal expansion of the ash accumulation baffle plate can be absorbed even under the operating conditions which produce a change in temperature, and charging and replacing the catalyst in the catalyst blocks are possible without on-site welding of the ash accumulation baffle plates.

  • Publication number: 20110033360
    Abstract: Provided is a method of operating a hydrolytic separator in which ammonia gas to be used as a reducing agent in a flue gas denitrization apparatus is generated by the hydrolysis of an aqueous urea solution. When the hydrolytic separator is started and ammonia gas injection is initiated, the hydrolytic separator is operated in a constant-pressure mode in which the internal pressure of the hydrolytic separator is kept constant regardless of the increasing temperature of the hydrolytic separator. Thereafter, the constant-pressure operation is switched to a variable pressure operation in which the pressure is raised as the temperature of the hydrolytic separator rises. In the method, the constant-pressure operation is switched to the variable pressure operation after the temperature of the hydrolytic separator in the constant-pressure operation has reached or exceeded the variable pressure operation temperature corresponding to that pressure.
