Abstract: An air pollution control device is an air pollution control device for reducing the amounts of NOx and Hg contained in flue gas 12 from a boiler 11. The air pollution control device includes: NH4Cl solution supply means 16 for spraying an NH4Cl solution 14 by a spray nozzle 15 into a flue gas duct 13 at the downstream of the boiler 11; a mixer 17 provided on the downstream side of a region where NH4Cl is gasified, for promoting mixing, with the flue gas 12, HCl and NH3 which are generated when NH4Cl is gasified; a reduction-denitration device 18 including a denitration catalyst for reducing NOx in the flue gas 12 with NH3 and for oxidizing Hg under the coexistence with HCl; and a wet desulfurization device 22 for reducing the amount of Hg oxidized in the reduction-denitration device 18 using a limestone-gypsum slurry 21.

Abstract: The air pollution control device includes: NH4Cl solution supply means 16 for spraying an NH4Cl solution 14 by a plurality of spray nozzles 15 into a flue gas duct 13 at the downstream of the boiler 11; a reduction-denitration device 18 including a denitration catalyst for reducing NOx in the flue gas 12 with NH3 and for oxidizing Hg under the coexistence with HCl; and a wet desulfurization device 22 for reducing the amount of Hg oxidized in the reduction-denitration device 18 by using a limestone-gypsum slurry 21. The NH4Cl solution supply means 16 supplies the NH4Cl solution 14 from the spray nozzles 15 so as to prevent the NH4Cl solution 14 from being adhered to an inner wall of the flue gas duct 13 through which the flue gas 12 is flowing.

Abstract: An air pollution control apparatus includes at least one denitration catalyst layer for reducing the amounts of nitrogen oxides in flue gas from a boiler and oxidizing mercury with hydrogen chloride sprayed into the flue gas. Spraying pipe headers 51 are disposed in a flue gas duct 19. The spraying pipe headers 51 are inserted into the flue gas duct 19 and arranged in a direction orthogonal to the direction of a gas flow in the flue gas duct 19. At least four spray nozzles 52-1 to 52-4 are disposed at intervals on the spraying pipe header 51 to form a vertical vortex flow 53 in the gas flow direction. A swirling diffuser plate is disposed on an opening side of the spray nozzles to form the vertical vortex flow in the gas flow direction, wherein the swirling diffuser plate has a flat shape at one side parallel to the spraying pipe header and a wavy shape corresponding to the nozzle intervals on the header at the other side. The diffusion of hydrogen chloride is thereby facilitated in a rapid manner.

Abstract: An air pollution control apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a denitration catalyst layer 13 that removes NOx in flue gas 12, and atomizes HCl into the flue gas 12 to oxidize Hg, and also includes a swirling-flow generating member 30A that includes a swirling-flow generating-member body being partitioned to correspond to each passage of the denitration catalyst layer 13 and a plurality of swirling-flow generating vanes arranged on the partition inner walls to generate a turbulent flow, on an inlet 13a side of the denitration catalyst layer 13. With this configuration, a laminar flow of the flue gas 12 in a flue gas duct 19 is changed to a swirling flow, thereby enabling to increase a contact time between the flue gas 12 and a denitration catalyst and to improve the oxidation reaction efficiency between Hg in the flue gas 12 and the denitration catalyst.
