Pre-ground SOLVAir® Sodium Bicarbonate and Active Carbon or Lignite Coke for Oil fired Power Plants

Energy generation through oil-fired thermal combustion is still an important component of the energy mix in many regions. Oil combustion produces polluting emissions; the gases released in the process contain harmful substances such as sulfur oxides (SOx), hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrofluoric acid (HF), and heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and cadmium, which must be controlled to minimize environmental and health risks. Advanced flue gas purification technologies are employed to ensure compliance with environmental regulations, including the use of Solvay SOLVAir® pre-ground sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon or lignite coke.

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

Solvay SOLVAir® pre-ground sodium bicarbonate is crucial in the treatment of industrial flue gases, as it reacts with the acids present in the flue gases to neutralize them and convert them into non-volatile salts, while activated carbon and lignite coke are extremely effective at adsorbing heavy metals and other contaminants from exhaust gases. These additives are injected separately through specific dosers to ensure optimal distribution and accurate dosing, achieving a high degree of contaminant removal efficiency and enabling compliance with environmental regulations.

FAQ

What are the main pollutants produced by oil combustion in combustion plants?

Exhaust fumes from oil-fired power plants contain pollutants such as SOx, HCl, HF, and heavy metals like mercury, lead, and cadmium, which require treatment to minimize negative effects on the ecosystem and public health.

Why are premixed sodium bicarbonate and activated carbon/lignite coke used in oil-fired combustion plants?

In oil-fired combustion plants, energy production results in the emission of pollutants such as SOx, HCl, HF, and heavy metals like mercury, lead, and cadmium. Premixed sodium bicarbonate neutralizes acids, and activated carbon/lignite coke captures metals and other volatile pollutants. Combining these compounds significantly reduces the environmental impact of emissions.

How does premixed sodium bicarbonate work in flue gas purification in oil-fired combustion plants?

Premixed sodium bicarbonate has alkaline properties that enable it to interact with the acids present in the exhaust gases, converting them into harmless solid salts, thereby reducing the acidity and harmful effects of the emissions.

What is the role of activated carbon and lignite coke in flue gas purification in oil-fired combustion plants?

These adsorbent materials effectively remove heavy metals and other hazardous substances from the exhaust gases due to their porous structures and large surface areas for adsorption.

Do activated carbon and lignite coke function in the same way?

While both are used in smoke purification, activated carbon and lignite coke differ in their porous structures and adsorption capabilities. Activated carbon is primarily indicated for treating a broader range of contaminants, whereas lignite coke is suitable for scenarios requiring lower operation temperatures and reduced costs.

Are there differences in using sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate?

Both used in the neutralization of acids in industrial fumes, sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate operate differently. Sodium carbonate, due to its higher alkalinity, effectively neutralizes various acids. Sodium bicarbonate, however, decomposes into CO2, water, and an active form of sodium carbonate, enhancing its effectiveness through greater contact area.
