Study on Hg Removal Characteristics of Fabric Filter

Abstract

Fabric filter is an important industrial dust control equipment. Through the combination of mechanism analysis, measured data research and engineering measurement, the Hg removal performance of fabric filter was studied. The results show that the fabric filter can remove most of the particulate Hg while removing dust efficiently, and the removal efficiency is between 95% and 100%. Due to the differences in inlet gaseous Hg concentration and unburned carbon content of fly ash, the removal efficiency of gaseous Hg by fabric filter varies greatly, but some test data also reach more than 90%. The actual measurement of a 15 MW circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler fabric filter was studied, the removal efficiencies of gaseous Hg, particulate Hg and total Hg were found to be 82.14%, 99.88% and 98.44%, respectively, and the Hg balance coefficient of the system was 91.38%. The research results can provide some reference for subsequent Hg emission control of industrial flue gas.
