Abstract:

The removal efficiency of ammonia in denitrification downstream equipment, concentration and distribution mechanism of ammonia in fly ash and slurry were studied under the condition of high concentration of ammonia escaping from denitrification by selective catalytic reduction (SCR) in coal-fired power plants. Through sampling analysis of 350 MW and 600 MW units, the results show that: the escaping ammonia removal efficiencies of air preheater, electrostatic precipitator and wet desulphurization system are 3.37%-6.63%, 75.14%-83.28% and 36.36%-46.38%, respectively. The ammonia removal efficiencies of these downstream environmental protection equipment are high, and the ammonia concentration at chimney entrance decreases obviously compared with that at denitrification outlet. The ammonia content in fly ash is inversely proportional to the particle size of fly ash. Ammonia concentration in desulfurized flue gas increases with the increase of ammonia concentration in original flue gas. The removal efficiency of ammonia in desulphurization system decreases with the increase of slurry pH value. The results have great significance to the units’ environmental protection and economic running.
