20140241970 | Process and Apparatus for Improving the Operation of Wet Scrubbers - The description relates to improving the operation of wet scrubbers, especially those based on calcium carbonate, by reducing the quantities of soluble chlorides in the combustion gases fed to the scrubbers. By converting gaseous HCl in the combustion gases to a solid copper chloride and removing it before the chloride reaches the scrubber, the reactivity of the scrubbing slurry will be better maintained. Combustion gases are treated with an aqueous copper compound referred to as copper-bearing chloride remediator (CBCR). The process is preferably implemented by identifying locations within a combustor for feeding the CBCR, determining the physical form and injection parameters for the CBCR and injecting the CBCR under conditions effective to reduce HCl and/or sulfur oxides. Effective temperatures for introducing the CBCRs are preferably within the range of from about 250° to 900° F. Among the more preferred CBCRs are copper compositions including copper, an organic moiety and/or an ammonia moiety. One composition of this type is copper diamine diacetate, which has an empirical formula of C | 08-28-2014 |
20140314650 | Processes, Apparatus, Compositions and Systems for Reducing Emissions of HCl and/or Sulfur Oxides - The description relates to reducing emissions of HCl and sulfur oxides by treating combustion gases with an aqueous copper compound referred to as copper-based chloride remediator (CBCR). The process is preferably implemented by identifying locations within a combustor for feeding the CBCR, determining the physical form and injection parameters for the CBCR and injecting the CBCR under conditions effective to reduce HCl and/or sulfur oxides. Effective temperatures for introducing the copper-based chloride remediators are preferably within the range of from about 250° to 900° F. where the objective is to reduce HCl, while temperatures up to about 2200° F. can be employed where the objective is to reduce sulfur oxides. Among the more preferred CBCRs are copper compositions including copper and an ammonia moiety. One composition of this type that was tested was copper diammonium diacetate, which has an empirical formula of C | 10-23-2014 |
