  • Patent number: 6254771
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the treatment of a desulfurization absorbing fluid after gas-liquid contact with combustion exhaust gas in which fine particles of unburned carbon and other materials are efficiently removed from the desulfurization absorbing fluid to improve the quality of a by-product (e.g., gypsum) obtained therefrom. The method of this invention comprises the steps of feeding a gas into a desulfurization absorbing fluid (A) containing fine particles of unburned carbon and other materials and thereby producing gas bubbles so as to cause the fine particles to adhere to the surfaces of the gas bubbles and create a foam phase (D) consisting of the gas bubbles; and breaking the foam phase (D) to obtain a liquid (E) containing the fine particles.

  • Patent number: 4886524
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating a waste liquid from a wet exhaust gas treating device. In a waste diminishing system which has heretofore been used, a necessary distance of a flue between a spray nozzle and a dry electric dust collector has been within the range of about 30 to about 40 meters. The present invention is characterized by rendering vacant a first chamber of the dry dust collector, or alternatively providing a vacant chamber on the upstream side of the dry dust collector in order to treat an exhaust gas, whereby the length of the aforesaid fue can be reduced to about 10 meters or less.

  • Patent number: 4853194
    Abstract: A method for treating an exhaust gas which includes leading a coal-fired exhaust gas to a dry denitrating device, removing oxides of nitrogen from the exhaust gas in the device, leading the exhaust gas to a dry electric dust collector and a wet waste smoke desulfurizing device disposed at downstream positions, and removing dust from the exhaust gas in these devices. A sodium compound containing solution is sprayed into the exhaust gas flowing between the dry denitrating device and the dry electric dust collector thereby increasing the efficiency of the dust collector, and the resulting dry solids are then collected together with the dust by the dry electric dust collector.
