Technical Sodium Bicarbonate and Activated Carbon/Lignite Coke for Industrial Waste to Energy Incineration Plants
In the waste management field, waste-to-energy is a crucial process for reducing the volume of industrial waste by converting it into energy. However, this process generates harmful emissions, including sulfur oxides (SOx), hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF), as well as heavy metals and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are hazardous to the environment. To mitigate these emissions, waste gas treatment systems using advanced technologies and chemical compounds are implemented.
One of the most effective solutions involves the combined use of technical sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon or lignite coke, and, if necessary, also magnesium lime. This method is particularly suitable for purifying exhaust gases produced during the incineration of industrial waste, ensuring environmentally friendly and efficient treatment.
Solution with Technical Grade Sodium Bicarbonate plus Active Carbon or Lignite Coke
The flue gas treatment system based on this solution includes the integration of a dual filtration system. The process begins with the injection of finely ground technical sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the acids produced during combustion, converting them into non-hazardous and easily manageable salts. Activated carbon or lignite coke is then added to the exhaust gas to adsorb heavy metals and volatile organic compounds, significantly improving the quality of the exhaust air.
Magnesium Lime
For some types of industrial plants, adding Magnesium Lime directly to the combustion chamber is very useful because it neutralizes acids at low concentrations, aiding the neutralization work performed by bicarbonate. Furthermore, like activated carbon or lignite coke, it can intercept and bind with certain substances, such as heavy metals, ensuring more effective filtration. This makes it an excellent optional reagent in addition to bicarbonate, activated carbon, or lignite coke.
