Definitions
- This invention relates to the removal of mercury from combustion gas streams and more specifically to the use of halogenated carbon materials to reduce the emissions of mercury from coal-fired power plants
- halogenated carbons from dissolved metal hahdes or hydrogen halide salts is laborious and difficult to perform on a large scale.
- High-quality base carbons are generally used, the impregnates must be dissolved in a solvent, applied evenly to the fine carbon substrates, the solvents removed, and the carbons wetted, washed, d ⁇ ed, delumped, and sometimes post-processed with heating in inert atmospheres.
- Working with sorbents made from HC1 solutions, for example, Gho ⁇ chi et al. found that use of special, deionized water and slow, low-temperature drying were required in order to preserve mercury performance improvements.
- carbons impregnated by dissolved halide salts can have the cations of their salts, such as the heavy metals copper, cadmium, strontium, and zinc of prior-art patents, leach into the groundwater when their resulting fly ashes are landfilled.
- the method has the steps of providing a mercury sorbent; injecting the mercury sorbent into a stream of the mercury- contaming combustion gas for a sufficient time to allow at least an effective amount of the mercury and mercury-containing compounds in the combustion gas to adsorb onto the mercury sorbent and collecting and removing the mercury sorbent from the combustion gas stream.
- the mercury sorbent is prepared by treating a carbonaceous substrate with an effective amount of a bromine-containing gas for a sufficient time to increase the ability of the carbonaceous substrate to adsorb mercury and mercury-containmg compounds.
- the bromine-containing gas comprises at least one of: elemental bromine and hydrogen bromide.
- the carbonaceous substrate comprises activated carbon
- the mercury sorbent is prepared at a temperature greater than 60°C, and in other aspects, the preparation temperature is greater than about 150°C.
- the carbonaceous substrate is reduced to a particle size distribution fluidizable in the combustion gas stream prior to the injecting step
- the points of injecting and collecting and removing the mercury sorbent may be varied, depending upon the exact configuration of the exhaust gas system.
- a method for manufacturing a mercury sorbent has the steps of: providing a carbonaceous substrate; providing a bromme- containing gas, and contacting the carbonaceous substrate with the bromine-containing gas for a sufficient time to increase the mercury adsorbing ability of the carbonaceous substrate.
- the carbonaceous substrate is activated carbon.
- the bromine-containing gas comprises elemental bromine (Br 2 ) and/or hydrogen bromide (HBr).
- Figures 2 through 6 are schematic diagrams of exhaust gas systems descnbmg example methods for using the improved sorbent compositions to remove and isolate mercury species from hot combustion flue gases;
- Figures 7 through 9 are performance plots indicating improvements in mercury capture with the invention.
- Figure 10 is a plot of the mercury performance of a sorbent of this invention indicating no synergistic advantage with the addition of a non-volatile acid, H 3 P0 4 , to the carbon;
- Figure 11 is a plot of the comparative elemental mercury performance of a sorbent of this invention with those of other halogen treatments;
- Figure 12 presents the comparative capacity increases for both oxidized mercury (HgCl 2 ) and elemental mercury of three sorbents processed according to this invention relative to sorbent not so processed,
- Figure 13 presents the additional mercury capacity achieved by a sorbent manufactured according to this invention on an actual coal-combustion flue gas relative to that of a sorbent not so processed;
- Figure 14 indicates the mercury capture in a simulated coal-fired duct-injection ESP application of sorbents processed according to this invention relative to those not so processed;
- Figure 15 indicates the mercury capture capabilities in an actual coal-fired duct-injection ESP application of sorbents processed according to this invention relative to those not so processed.
- the first three are that (1) a carbon-based adsorbent, such as powdered activated carbon (PAC), is used (2) to capture and concentrate vaporous mercury species from (3) a hot, flowing gas stream of combustion products
- a carbon-based adsorbent such as powdered activated carbon (PAC)
- PAC powdered activated carbon
- the fourth requirement is that the adsorbent material be (4) injected into the flowing gas, intimately mix with it, and be separated from the gas in a particulate collector.
- the fifth and final essential element of the invention is that at some time before it is mixed with the mercury-containing combustion gas, the carbon material must (5) be exposed to a bromine-containing treatment gas, possibly producing surface complexes that are particularly reactive to gaseous mercury species.
- the combination of carbon and gaseous bromine produces an inexpensive sorbent material that can be simply injected into the ductwork of a power plant ahead of an existing electrostatic precipitator, without the need for large volumes of sorbent, retrofitted flue-gas cooling, or extended sorption time on an additional fabric filter.
- bromine gas and carbon be done at an elevated temperature. This keeps the bromine gas in the gaseous form, but also minimizes the amount of any bromine physically-adsorbed into the pores of the carbon. Such physically adsorbed bromine is not chemically bound to the carbon lattice and can be emitted in handling, m storage, and especially, when the sorbent is injected into a hot flue gas.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram describing the process for manufacturing the mercury sorbent of the invention Elements with dotted lines are preferred embodiments, rather than required steps of the invention
- the process begins with a carbonaceous substrate matenal 1 for the mercury sorbent.
- carbonaceous matenals comprise: activated carbon, activated charcoal, activated coke, char, and unburned or partially-burned carbon from a combustion process
- the carbonaceous substrate could even be another specialty mercury sorbent, a sulfur-impregnated PAC, for example.
- the important features of the sorbent substrate material are that it is significantly composed of carbon and that it has an adequate degree of porosity or surface area to enable it to provide mercury removal in the process.
- the size of the carbonaceous particles during bromination is not critical as long as their mass is uniformly exposed to and reacted with the bromine.
- the material can be fine enough already so that it can be mixed with and earned by the mercury-containing flue- gas stream, or it can be large and granular, to be comminuted after bromination, but pnor to being injected into the mercury-containing gas stream.
- a preferred carbonaceous substrate material is activated carbon. If the manufactunng process of this invention is integrated into the manufacture of the activated carbon material itself, the carbonaceous substrate could be, for example, the carbon material after it has undergone a steam activation procedure. Alternately, the activated carbon entering the treatment process at 1 can be an existing commercial product Preferably the activated carbon is in a very fine state, which allows for a more uniform bromination later in the process. An example would be a powdered activated carbon (PAC) Such a matenal would already have some gas-phase mercury adsorption capability which the treatment process of this invention will greatly amplify.
- PAC powdered activated carbon
- the carbonaceous substrate material 1 begins at ambient temperature, preferably it is preheated 2, to a temperature of above about 100°C.
- One purpose of such preheating is to drive off any physically-adsorbed moisture from the carbonaceous substrate which blocks the matenal's pores and will interfere with the bromination step.
- a separate vessel may optionally be utilized for this preheating step or it can be integrated into the larger processing scheme.
- a bromine-containing gas 3 is used to treat the carbonaceous substrate.
- this gas comprises elemental bromine, Br 2 (g), although other bromine-containing gases, such as hydrogen bromide, HBr, will also have the advantageous effect of the invention
- elemental bromine In the liquid form at ambient temperatures, elemental bromine is dense and compact, with advantages in transport and storage. To be utilized in this invention, however, it must first be heated to at least about 60°C and turned into a gaseous state. In such a state it can more uniformly treat the carbonaceous materials at low levels and provide the desired effect of increasing their mercury sequestration capabilities.
- a preferred method of converting the liquid bromine to a bromme- contaming gas is to use a heated lance. Liquid bromine can be metered into such a heated-lance system at one end and be distributed as a gas to the substrate materials at the other end.
- the key step in the sorbent manufacturing process is exposing the dried carbonaceous materials to the bromine-containing gas, 4.
- the gas contacts the solids it is quickly adsorbed and reacted with materials.
- this is done at an elevated temperature, with the carbonaceous materials at least as hot as the bromine-containing gas. More preferably this is done with the carbonaceous materials at a temperature at or above about 150°C, or above the temperature of the mercury-containing flue-gas stream into which the sorbents will be injected.
- the contacting of the bromine-containing gas and carbonaceous solids can be done at any advantageous pressure, including atmospheric pressure.
- the carbonaceous matenals will both physically adsorb the bromine species at 4 and chemically react with them. It is preferable to minimize the amount of bromine that is physically- adsorbed weakly on the carbons. Physically-adsorbed bromine is prone to desorb from the materials upon changed conditions, such as injection into a hotter gas stream, for example. It is desirable to have the bromine as stable as possible on the carbon, yet in a form that is still reactive towards mercury. By exposing the carbon to the bromine at an elevated temperature, less of the bromine species will volatilize off from the sorbents during their transport and storage or upon their injection into the hot combustion stream.
- any level of bromination of carbonaceous substrates appears to increase their mercury-removal performance. While over 30 wt% of Br 2 (g) can be adsorbed into some powdered activated carbons, for example, significant increases in mercury reactivity will be observed with only about 1 wt% Br 2 (g) in the PAC. Greater degrees of bromination do conelate with greater maximum mercury capacities for a particular carbonaceous substrate. However, with the sorbent-injection application of this invention, only a fraction of a material's maximum possible mercury capacity is typically utilized, so the optimum level of bromine to combine with the carbon substrate may vary with the particular situation.
- brominating to 1 wt% provides a highly- capable mercury sorbent, although a 5 wt% material performs better and may be preferable. Brominating to 15 wt% Br 2 generally produces an even more capable mercury sorbent, but as some of the bromine is held at less-energetic sites, there is a greater possibility that some degree of bromine may evolve off under some circumstances. Mercury sorbents with higher bromine concentrations will take longer to produce and cost more as well.
- the bromination step 4 can occur in any number of possible reactors.
- the particular equipment used to contact the carbonaceous substrates with the bromine-containing gas can be, for example, a stationary mixer, a rotating drum, a structure with a vertically-moving bed, a fluidized-bed unit, a transport reactor, or any other contactor known in the art.
- the manufacturing process is not limited by the type of process equipment used. Any equipment or method that quickly and evenly distnbutes the bromine-containing gas to intimately contact the carbonaceous particles will satisfy the requirements of the invention.
- an additional step 5 is utilized in the process to snip off any weakly-held bromine species from the sorbents after the bromination step, making the sorbents safer to use.
- This can be accomplished by numerous methods, including by vacuuming out the vessel holding the materials, by purging the vessel with air or an inert gas, by heating the sorbents to a temperature above that of their bromination, or by a combination of these methods.
- any bromine species that are desorbed can be transported to unsaturated substrate materials upstream in the process, eliminating the need to dispose of the off-gas stream.
- Figures 2 through 6 are schematic diagrams of exhaust gas systems descnbmg example methods for using the sorbents of the invention to remove and sequester mercury from hot combustion gases.
- Figure 2 applies the sorbents to a combustion gas stream where a fabric filter (baghouse) is utilized to collect the fly ash generated during combustion Coal or wastes or other fuels are combusted in a boiler 11 generating mercury-contaming flue gas which is cooled by steam tubes and an economizer 21.
- the gas typically flows through ductwork 61 to an air preheater 22, which drops the gas temperature from about 300-to-400°C down to about 150-to-200°C in the ductwork 62 exiting the air preheater.
- the mercury sorbent of this invention stored in a container such as a bin 71, is fed to and through an injection line 72 to the ductwork 62 and injected through a multitude of lances to be widely dispersed in the hot combustion flue gas.
- the sorbent adsorbs its elemental mercury and oxidized mercury species.
- the sorbent flows with flue gas to a fabric filter 31 and is deposited on the filter bags in a filter cake along with the fly ash and other gas- stream particulates In the fabric filter the flue gas is forced through the filter cake and through the bag fabric.
- Figure 3 describes the possible application of the sorbents to a plant which has "cold-side" electrostatic precipitator (ESP) 32 instead of a fabric filter.
- ESP electrostatic precipitator
- This is a more difficult situation for mercury removal than with a fabric filter because the flue gas is not forced through the sorbent in a filter cake layer of a collection bag.
- the hot mercury-containmg combustion gas is generated m the boiler 11 as m Figure 6 and flows through the same equipment to the ductwork 62.
- the mercury sorbent of bin 71 is similarly injected 72 into the ductwork to mix with the flue gas.
- Figure 4 describes the possible application of the sorbents to a plant which has a "hot-side" ESP, a particularly difficult situation for mercury control.
- the air preheater 22 follows the ESP 32, so the temperature of the mercury-containmg flue gas in the ductwork 64 before the particulate collection is very high, in the range of 300-to-400°C.
- Plain powdered activated carbons do not capture any mercury at these temperatures and PACs impregnated with iodine or sulfur lose their impregnates.
- the mercury sorbents prepared according to the process of this invention appear to capture mercury in at least the lower end of this temperature range.
- the sorbents from bin 71 can be useful even when injected at 72 into the very hot, low-oxygen, mercury-containmg gases in ductwork 64.
- the sorbents would be collected with the other gas stream particulates in the hot-side ESP 32 and the cleaned gas would proceed through ductwork 65 to the smokestack.
- the method for removing mercury from combustion gas streams of this invention is not limited to the particular arrangements described in the figures. These have been provided simply to illustrate common examples and many other variations are possible.
- a wet scrubber for flue gas desulfurization could appear at 63 in Figures 2 through 4 or a particulate scrubber could replace ESP 32.
- Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) units for NOx reductions, or flue gas conditioning systems to improve particulate removal, could also be placed in the equipment anangements. The utility of the disclosed mercury-removal method would be unaffected, however.
- the mercury sorbents could be injected while mixed in with sorbents for other flue gas components, such as calcium or magnesium hydroxide or oxide for flue gas SO 3 , HC1, or SO 2 , rather than injected alone.
- the mercury sorbents could be injected in a liquid slurry, which would quickly evaporate in the hot flue gas
- Other variations of the methods of applying this invention can be formulated by those familiar with art and they should be considered within the scope of this disclosure and the included claims.
- FIG. 5 Two such arrangements bear particular mention Figure 5 applies the sorbents in a "TOXECON®" arrangement.
- the mercury sorbents 71 are injected after an ESP 32 into the almost particulate-free ductwork 67 before a small, high- velocity fabric filter 33.
- the fly ash 80 does not become mixed with the carbonaceous sorbents, allowing the fly ash to be sold for concrete use.
- the filter cake of fabric filter 33 would predominantly be mercury sorbent, allowing a longer residence time, higher utilization levels, and the possibility of recovering and reinjecting the sorbent to lower costs.
- the superior reactivity and capacities of the mercury sorbents of this invention make them prime candidates for use in such an anangement.
- Figure 6 illustrates sorbent usage at plants that have spray dryers for acid rain control.
- the mercury sorbent could be injected before the spray dryer 62, into the spray dryer 41, into the ductwork 68, between the spray dryer and the particulate collector 31 or 32, or mixed in with the scrubber slurry itself.
- brominate unburned carbon collected from a particulate collector and then to inject it into the gas stream or to brominate carbonaceous "thief particles withdrawn from the combustor 11 before their complete combustion and to inject them at lower temperatures downstream
- the gas-phase bromine treatment of this invention has been tested on many different commercially-available powdered activated carbons (PACs). Each has been found to be easily brominated to at least 15 wt% Br, including PACs from Barnebey Sutcliffe, Calgon (WPL, Fluepac A, and Centaur®), General Carbon, Nichem, Action Carbon, Advance Recovery Technologies, and No ⁇ t Nont's Darco FGD® is a common PAC frequently used by other researchers as a comparative yardstick.
- PACs powdered activated carbons
- the bromine treatments of this invention increased the elemental mercury capacity of these PACs by from 500% to 1000%
- a No ⁇ t Darco FGD PAC was brominated according to the invention to 10 wt% with Br 2 (g). Part of this sample was then additionally impregnated to 15 wt% with a non-volatile acid, H 3 PO 4 , as taught by Aibe et al., U.S. 4,427,630.
- H 3 PO 4 non-volatile acid
- Example 1 A senes of fixed-bed mercury-capacity evaluations were performed examining the relative performance of a typical powdered activated carbon, No ⁇ t Darco FGD®, adsorbed or reacted with different halogen species The procedures of Example 1 were repeated, except that smaller samples were used and a mercury challenge-gas concentration was about 13 ⁇ g/Nm 3 , typical for flue gases of coal-fired power plants The resulting breakthrough curves are plotted in Figure 11
- sorbents of this invention have also been evaluated in other laboratory-scale fixed-bed test systems by others for elemental and oxidized (HgCl 2 ) mercury capacity.
- Test systems for each species very similar to the one used in Examples 1, 2, and 3, have been descnbed in detail in Carey et al., "Factors Affecting Mercury Control in Utility Flue Gas Using Activated Carbon", J. Air & Waste Mange. Assoc, 48, 1166-1174, 1998.
- Major differences between the systems concern the loading of the test sorbent and the mercury concentration of the challenge gas.
- test sorbents Rather than vacuum-load the test sorbents onto a two-dimensional filter, as in Examples 1 and 2, in the tests of this example the sorbents were mixed 1: 10 with inert sand and loaded as a three-dimensional bed Second, the tests m Examples 3 were performed with a mercury concentration of 10 to 15 ⁇ g/Nm 3 , duplicating common power plant parameters, whereas in the tests of this example were at concentrations of about 75 ⁇ g/Nm 3 for Hg(0) and about 30 ⁇ g/Nm 3 for HgCl 2 . The results were then "normalized" to 50 ⁇ g/Nm 3 Because of these differences, quantitative results on the two systems can be expected to be different; however, the qualitative results should correspond
- brominated sorbent samples were tested under the standard conditions of these units, with the elemental mercury test gas containing 400 ppm SO 2 , 200 ppm NOx, 2 ppm HCl, and 7% H 2 0, and the oxidized mercury test gas containing 400 ppm S0 2 , 400 ppm NOx, 50 ppm HCl, and 7% H 2 0.
- the sorbents were loaded at 2 mg/g of sand and the tests were run at 135°C, favoring the untreated PAC, which does not work well at more-elevated temperatures.
- the pleasant Prairie plant burns a low-sulfur subbituminous coal and has high mercury of about 14 ⁇ g/Nm 3 , nearly all in the elemental form
- the brominated sorbent was tested at 150°C with SO 3 in the gas stream from a flue gas conditioning system See the results in Figure 13 Of the sorbents tested under these conditions, the brominated sorbent performed the best, removing over 300% more mercury than the untreated PAC, for example.
- the fully-instrumented duct-mjection test system that was used included a propane burner unit to generate the hot flue gas; a humidification drum to add an appropriate degree of moisture to the gas; an elemental mercury spiking subsystem with elemental mercury permeation tubes; a flue gas spiking subsystem with mass flow controllers for S0 , NOx, and HCl; a small sorbent feeder and fluidizing injection subsystem to lessen sorbent pulsing; 10 meters of insulated, 10- cm-diameter ducting circling the ceiling; thermocouples; an electrostatic filter with an effective specific collection area (SCA) of about 500 ft 2 Kacf; a back-up fabnc filter; a safety filter; an orifice plate to measure flow; and a variable-speed I.D.
- SCA effective specific collection area
- the gas temperature at injection was about 175°C and at the ESP was about 145°C and the spiked flue gas concentrations were about 24 ⁇ g/Nm 3 Hg(0), 1400 ppm S0 2 , 600 ppm NOx, and 5 ppm HCl, typical values for coal-fired power plants.
- a series of 20-kg batches of the sorbents were prepared according to the methods of this specification and Figure 1, brominating at about 150°C.
- the vacuum,-purge,-or-heat step after bromination was not used, allowing a possible degree of loosely-held physically-adsorbed bromine gas to remain on the sorbents.
- a similar chlo ⁇ ne-gas-treated material was also produced. The halogens were delivered to the heated PAC substrates through a heated lance, entering the sealed vessel as gases, and the vessel was rotated.
- a large-scale duct-injection trial of the technology was performed at the 18-MW scale, with about 60,000 acfm of flue gas at 160°C.
- the plant had stoker-fed boilers, burned a high-sulfur bituminous coal, and had just a cold-side ESP for emission control.
- Baseline sampling according to the Ontario Hydro Method indicated no intrinsic mercury removal of mercury across the ESP.
- the plant Without sorbent injection, the plant emitted about 10 ⁇ g/Nm 3 of mercury from the stack, with 80 to 90% of this in oxidized forms.
- the mercury was measured using a speciating PS Analytical Sir Galahad continuous mercury monitor. Inlet mercury values were obtained by sampling upstream of the sorbent injection point and outlet mercury was measured at the stack.
- the sorbents were injected into ductwork through a lance to mix with the flue gases about 40 feet from the entrance to the ESP.
- the flue gas contained about 1000 ppm of SO 2 , 250 ppm of NOx, and 25 ppm of HCl
- the ESP had an SCA of 370 ft 2 /Kacfm.
- the brominated sorbents of this invention performed very well with this difficult flue gas, achieving about 50% mercury removal with only 2 lb/MMacf of sorbent consumption and almost 70% removal at an injection rate of 4 lb/MMacf.
