Abstract

In this study, the mud-phosphorus slurry was used to simultaneously remove SO2 and NOx. The technology proposed new avenues for the purification and utilization of remove SO2 and NOx in flue gas. The effects of reaction temperature, solid-liquid ratio, and oxygen content on the efficiency of desulfurization and denitrification were studied experimentally. Results show that the parameters were solid-liquid ratio of 5.0 g/40 mL, T = 60 °C, φ (O2) = 20%, Q = 300 mL/min under the best experimental conditions. The maximum amount of ozone generated was 563.8 mg/m3. The reaction time with desulfurization rate ≥ 99% was 340 min; the reaction time with denitrification rate ≥ 99% was 160 min. Response surface analysis method was used to perform a three-factor three-level response surface experiment. Results show that the oxygen content had a highly significant effect on the desulfurization and denitrification efficiency, and the relationship between the desulfurization and denitrification efficiency was oxygen content > mud-phosphorus slurry liquid-solid ratio > reaction temperature. The process is simple, the solid waste is used to treat the flue gas, and the removal effect is good, which is convenient for popularization.
