How is the dust emitted from boiler flue gas handled?

2009-02-16View Original

Thread Content

Today, a client asked me to prepare a proposal for a pre-filter system for flue gas desulfurization in a 35-ton fluidized bed boiler. The client wants a cyclone dust collector to be used, and they also requested a plan for dealing with the dust. So, experts, how is dust usually handled? Besides landfilling, are there any other recycling options? I earnestly ask all experts for their guidance! Thank you.

Here, we sell the dust to brick factories as an internal combustion material, and there is even a demand that exceeds the supply. I just wonder if there are any enterprises in your area that need smoke and dust, such as brick factories.

Uses: 1. To adjust cement, 2. As fly ash for road construction.

Dust is used in the south for making bricks or paving roads, and its sales are quite good. In the north, it can only be landfilled

Fly ash can be used in construction materials, road construction, dam building, engineering backfilling, concrete, and mortar. It has become a construction material that can replace clay, and is thus being utilized more and more widely. Reports indicate that 33,000 tons of fly ash were used in the concrete for the Sanmenxia Dam project. What we recycle is usually contracted out through bidding, with payment based on weight, which helps avoid internal conflicts.

Our company also sells dust to brick manufacturers.

I searched online: The fine ash captured from the flue gases produced by coal combustion is called fly ash, and fly ash is the main solid waste emitted by coal-fired power plants. Combustion process of fly ash: Coal powder burns in a suspended state within the furnace, and the vast majority of the combustible components in the coal are burned up inside the furnace, while the non-combustible substances in the coal powder (mainly ash) end up mixed in the high-temperature flue gases. These non-flammable materials partially melt due to high temperatures, and owing to surface tension, a large number of tiny spherical particles are formed. Driven by the exhaust airflow from the draft fan at the rear of the boiler, the flue gas containing a large amount of ash flows toward the back of the furnace. As the flue gas temperature decreases, a portion of the molten fine particles undergoes rapid cooling to a vitreous state, thereby acquiring higher potential activity. Before the exhaust fan discharges the flue gas into the atmosphere, these tiny spherical particles are separated and collected through a dust collector, resulting in fly ash. Fly ash is one of the industrial waste residues with a large discharge volume in China at present; the annual discharge volume in China has reached 30 million tons at this stage. With the development of the power industry, the ash emissions from coal-fired power plants are increasing year by year. A large amount of fly ash, if left untreated, will generate dust and pollute the atmosphere ; If discharged into waterways, it will cause river siltation, and the toxic chemicals contained in it can also harm humans and organisms. Therefore, the issue of the treatment and utilization of fly ash has attracted widespread attention. Advantages of using fly ash: Adding fly ash to concrete saves a large amount of cement and fine aggregate ; Reduced water usage ; Improved the workability of the concrete mixture ; Improving the pumpability of concrete ; Reduces the creep of concrete ; Reduce heat of hydration and thermal expansion ; Improve the water resistance of concrete ; Increase the modifying effect of concrete. Uses of fly ash: National Standard Grade 1 – A modern concrete technology that uses high-quality fly ash in combination with efficient water-reducing agents to produce high-strength concrete is developing rapidly across the country. National Standard Grade 2: High-quality fly ash is particularly suitable for preparing pumped concrete, mass concrete, impermeable structural concrete, sulfate-resistant concrete, and concrete resistant to soft water erosion, as well as concrete for underground and underwater projects, grouted concrete, and roller-compacted concrete. National Standard Grade 3: Fly ash concrete offers advantages such as good workability, high pumpability, improved finish quality, enhanced impact resistance, and increased frost resistance.

Fly ash is widely used in construction and foundation engineering, for example in the production of cement, concrete, bricks, wall panels, blocks, ceramsite, mortar, as well as in road construction fill, soil stabilization, and soil improvement. To date, the more mature technologies and established production lines in our country include: fly ash aerated concrete, fly ash building cement, fly ash clay bricks, fly ash silicate solid blocks, fly ash floor tiles, fly ash non-fired bricks, fly ash silicate cement, fly ash concrete, fly ash for road construction, and fly ash filling. There is extensive research in the field of fine chemicals (such as extracting valuable minerals as materials for alloy components, plastic fillers, and recovering rare metals), but little of it is applied in practical production.

Our company uses electrostatic dust removal for treatment, and the resulting material is transported via pipelines to a ash storage area where it is combined with boiler slag to produce ash-brick without the need for firing.

The pre-dusted fly ash is used as a building material, and it sells well in the south. The north is relatively worse. However, the utility of dry desulfurization ash is limited; it can generally only be landfilled. The dust removal efficiency of cyclone dust collectors is average.

The fly ash that has been pre-removed through dust removal is used as a building material. The dust removal efficiency of cyclone dust collectors is average; therefore, electrostatic dust collectors or bag filters are generally used. This post was last edited by lyhh9024 on 2009-3-6 at 19:26.]

It is difficult to meet environmental dust emission standards when using cyclone separators for dust removal in 35-ton fluidized bed boilers; it is recommended to use electrostatic precipitators or more efficient bag filters; The dust collected can be taken away and sold to local cement plants for use, which is a way to make money.

Fly ash can be used as a road surface material, and it can increase the plasticity of concrete
Reply #142009-03-08
The dust collected by dust collectors can generally be used in the cement industry!
Reply #152009-03-08
It causes severe contamination when handling items, and there are many problems with transportation and use; it can’t be given to whoever wants it
Reply #162009-03-09
Generally, it involves burning bricks; moreover, it depends on what is being refined – if precious metals are to be produced, then the metals need to be recycled. Doing things like cement is rare here; mainly, other people have good raw materials, and they don’t really care much about dust.

Fly ash can be used in construction materials, road construction, dam building, engineering backfilling, concrete, and mortar, among other applications. As long as it is dry, there are many markets for it; sealed transportation is sufficient for its transport!

There are now many methods for treating fly ash, some of which offer economic benefits; there are numerous brick factories that are major users of it.
Reply #192009-03-16
Fly ash is generally used in brick manufacturing, as there are regulations restricting the use of clay bricks. The construction industry requires a certain amount of slag bricks and other similar materials, so the demand for such bricks is quite good. Cinder can be used for paving roads, but fly ash particles are too fine, making it unsuitable either for paving or landfill use
