Patent ID: 10247414

Abstract:
An exhaust gas treatment apparatus which includes a denitration device, a dust collector, and a desulfurization device in order, respectively, in a flow path of exhaust gas discharged from a boiler, wherein a heavy-metal component removal device is provided in the exhaust gas flow path between the dust collector and the desulfurization device. This device is provided with: an absorption tower including a nozzle which sprays acidic absorption liquid on the exhaust gas, a tank which stores liquid which has absorbed a heavy metal, and a pump which supplies the nozzle with the liquid in the tank; a neutralizing tank which neutralizes the liquid drawn from the absorption tower; and a separator which separates the neutralized liquid into a solid and a liquid component. Since a small amount of heavy metal can be removed in the absorption tower, re-emission of the heavy metal by the desulfurization device is prevented.
