Effect of liquid additives on the low temperature denitration activity of SNCR and emission characteristics of N2O and CO

Abstract

AbstractThe problem of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions has attracted wide attention in the field of environmental protection. The effects of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), phenol (C6H5OH) and ethanol (C2H6OH) on the denitration activity of selective non‐catalytic reduction (SNCR) and the emission of secondary pollutants nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon monoxide (CO) were investigated. Results indicated that the addition of NaOH, phenol and ethanol can improve the denitration efficiency under low temperature by providing OH. From 650°C to 750°C, ethanol had the best effect, with the denitration efficiency of 30%. From 750°C to 850°C, the denitration efficiency of phenol was 40% ~ 50%. The introduction of phenol and ethanol would increase the N2O and CO emissions. From 700°C to 800°C, hydrogen peroxide only caused a small amount of N2O emissions and had no significant effect on CO.
