  • Patent number: 8765066
    Abstract: A combustion exhaust gas processing device comprises: a dust collector collecting dust in a cement kiln combustion exhaust gas; a wet dust collector using sodium hypochlorite as a catalyst-poisoning-substance stripper for removing a catalyst-poisoning substance and mercury from a combustion exhaust gas which passed the dust collector; heaters downstream of the wet dust collector for heating the combustion exhaust gas from the wet dust collector; and a catalyst device from which NOx, a persistent organic pollutant, etc. in the heated combustion exhaust gas, are removed. An upstream side of the catalyst device is installed with an oxide catalyst such as titanium-vanadium and a downstream side is installed with a platinum catalyst as a noble-metal catalyst. The temperature of the combustion exhaust gas after the wet dust collector is increased up to 140° C. or more with the heaters to prevent decline in denitration efficiency of and the decomposition efficiency of a volatile organic compound.
