Background
The large amount of pollutants (such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, fine particulate matters, heavy metals and the like) emitted by coal-fired power plants causes great harm to the atmospheric environment and human health. After the coal-fired flue gas is subjected to dust removal and limestone gypsum wet desulphurization, most of dust and heavy metals can be removed, but fine particles and heavy metals with considerable mass and taking mercury, lead, chromium, cadmium and the like as main elements still exist in the flue gas discharged into the atmosphere.
The existing control technology for fine particulate matter emission mainly comprises electric agglomeration, sound agglomeration, magnetic agglomeration, thermal agglomeration, turbulent (boundary layer) flow agglomeration, chemical agglomeration and the like. Among them, the method of capturing submicron particles using an adsorbent is called chemical agglomeration, and the agglomeration mechanism thereof is mainly physical adsorption and chemical reaction. At present, the research contents of the chemical agglomeration method adopted by fire coal fine particles at home and abroad mainly focus on the influence of common adsorbents such as kaolinite, bauxite and the like on the particle agglomeration and the removal of one or more heavy metals, and the research of the chemical agglomeration trapping by using a novel agglomerating agent is not much. The search for an economic and effective agglomerating agent is the key to promoting the agglomeration and the trapping of the particulate matters by a physical and chemical agglomeration method.
Attapulgite, also known as attapulgite or palygorskite, is a water-containing magnesium-rich aluminosilicate clay ore with a layered chain structure. The crystal is rod-like, fibrous, needle-like clay mineral, i.e. two layers of silica tetrahedron and one layer of aluminous octahedron, and has standard chemical formula of Mg5Si8O20(HO)2(OH2)4·4H2O, but actually the chemical composition is SiO2、MgO、Al2O3Mainly contains a certain amount of Fe2O3、MnO、TiO2And the like. The attapulgite has a plurality of special physicochemical properties such as adsorptivity, rheology, catalysis, ion exchange, plasticity and the like because of the unique layer chain crystal structure of the attapulgite. These characteristics of the attapulgiteThe attapulgite is widely applied to the fields of petroleum, chemical industry, medicine, environmental protection, printing and the like. Its large comparative area and its adsorption centers present on the surface make it suitable for use in the control of coal-fired fine particulate matter.
The naturally produced attapulgite is accompanied by minerals such as montmorillonite, kaolinite, hydromica, quartz, carbonate and the like. Proper acid treatment can play roles in dredging pore channels, removing carbonate and impurities, increasing the number of active adsorption sites and the like. On the other hand, due to cation exchangeability of attapulgite, H with smaller radius+Can replace the attapulgite interlayer part K+、Na+、Ca2+And Mg2+Plasma, increasing the empty volume.
