Pre-ground SOLVAir® Sodium Bicarbonate and Active Carbon or Lignite Coke for Industrial Waste to Energy Incineration Plant

In the waste management sector, waste-to-energy plants play a crucial role in reducing the volume of industrial waste through combustion. While these plants are effective in treating waste, they emit harmful air pollutants due to the combustion of materials present in the waste, which may include plastics and chemical compounds. The fumes produced include sulfur oxides (SOx), hydrochloric acid (HCl), hydrofluoric acid (HF), dioxins, furans, and heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and cadmium, which poses significant environmental and public health challenges. To control these emissions within legal limits, advanced exhaust gas treatment systems are essential. For this purpose, the combined use of Solvay SOLVAir® pre-ground sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon or lignite coke, with the addition of magnesium lime where necessary, shows promising results.

Solution with Pre Ground SOLVAir® Sodium Bicarbonate plus Active Carbon or Lignite Coke

Specifically, Solvay SOLVAir® pre-ground sodium bicarbonate helps neutralize acids in flue gases, transforming them into solid, stable salts, while activated carbon and lignite coke, with their high adsorption capacity, are extremely effective at capturing heavy metals and other pollutants in flue gases. Practical implementation of this solution involves the controlled injection of these additives via two separate dosers to ensure the necessary precision in releasing the materials. This method achieves high efficiency in flue gas purification, ensuring compliance with current environmental standards.

Magnesium Lime

For certain types of industrial plants, using Magnesium Lime directly in the combustion chamber is particularly advantageous, as it effectively neutralizes acids at low concentrations, thus supporting the neutralization action of bicarbonate. Similar to activated carbon or lignite coke, it has the ability to capture and bind various pollutants, including heavy metals, significantly improving the filtration effect. This makes it an excellent optional additive to combine with bicarbonate and activated carbon or lignite coke.

Flue Gas Cleaning with Pre-ground Solvay SOLVAir® Sodium Bicarbonate, Active Carbon or Lignite Coke and Magnesium Lime

FAQ

What are the main pollutants in the flue gases from waste incineration plants?

The flue gases from industrial waste combustion contain harmful substances such as SOx, HCl, HF, dioxins, furans, and heavy metals like mercury, lead, and cadmium, which require effective treatment to minimize their negative impact on health and the environment.

Why are pre-milled sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon/lignite coke used for flue gas purification in industrial waste incineration plants?

During the combustion of industrial waste, flue gases containing pollutants such as SOx, HCl, HF, and heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium) are released. Pre-milled sodium bicarbonate reacts with the acids present, neutralizing them and reducing their hazardousness, while activated carbon/lignite coke adsorbs toxic metals and other harmful compounds. By combining these two materials, a significant reduction in harmful emissions is achieved.

What is the purpose of sodium bicarbonate in waste incineration processes?

Pre-milled sodium bicarbonate acts as an alkaline agent that, upon contact with acids like HCl and HF in flue gases, transforms into harmless solid salts such as NaCl and NaF. This reaction neutralizes the acidity of the flue gases, mitigating the environmental impact of emissions.

What is the role of activated carbon and lignite coke in flue gas purification?

These materials are used for their strong adsorptive capacity, which effectively removes heavy metals and hazardous organic compounds from the flue gases generated during waste combustion.

What are the benefits of using magnesium lime in industrial flue gas purification?

Using magnesium lime together with sodium bicarbonate proves to be a beneficial strategy in treating the flue gases produced by industrial waste incineration processes. This combination is particularly effective in neutralizing acidic pollutants in the flue gases, offering superior removal performance compared to using only one of the components. Additionally, the use of magnesium lime contributes to the capture of heavy metals, significantly enhancing filtration quality and helping businesses comply with environmental emission regulations.

Are activated carbon and lignite coke interchangeable in flue gas purification?

While both can be used for flue gas purification, activated carbon, with its more pronounced porous structure, is generally more effective in adsorbing a wide range of contaminants. Lignite coke, on the other hand, is often preferred for applications operating at relatively low temperatures and can be more cost-effective under certain conditions.

Are there significant differences between the use of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate?

Both are commonly used to neutralize acids in industrial flue gases. However, sodium carbonate has higher alkalinity and can more effectively treat a larger quantity of acids. Sodium bicarbonate, by decomposing into CO₂, water, and active sodium carbonate, produces a more porous surface, improving its interaction with acids, especially at lower temperatures.
