Patent ID: 8003068

Claim:
An air pollution control system comprising: a spray device that sprays hydrogen chloride into flue gas discharged from a coal combustion boiler; a denitration apparatus that reduces nitrogen oxide in flue gas into which the hydrogen chloride has been sprayed, and that oxidizes mercury; an air heater that recovers heat in gas from which the nitrogen oxide has been reduced; a dust extractor that reduces dust in gas from which the heat has been recovered; a desulfurization apparatus that reduces sulfur oxide in gas from which the dust has been reduced; a stack from which gas thus desulfurized is discharged outside; carry-in means that carries in concentrated hydrochloric acid as a feedstock; a hydrogen chloride vaporizer that vaporizes the concentrated hydrochloric acid to obtain hydrogen chloride; a liquid level regulator that separates residual hydrogen chloride from extracted dilute hydrochloric acid discharged from the hydrogen chloride vaporizer, and that regulates a liquid level of the hydrogen chloride vaporizer; a gas-liquid separator that separates the residual hydrogen chloride from extracted dilute hydrochloric acid; a concentration regulating tank that regulates a hydrochloric acid concentration of extracted dilute hydrochloric acid from which the residual hydrogen chloride has been reduced; a by-product tank that stores therein dilute hydrochloric acid regulated to have a predetermined concentration; and carry-out means that carries out the dilute hydrochloric acid with a predetermined concentration discharged from the by-product tank.
