For example, since the exhaust gas emitted from a combustion engine such as a boiler contains air pollutants such as sulfur oxides (SOx), sulfur oxides are removed from the exhaust gas in the flue gas desulfurization apparatus before being released into the atmosphere. ..
[0003]
As a flue gas desulfurization device, a wet flue gas desulfurization device using a lime gypsum method is widely known. In a wet flue gas desulfurization device, the exhaust gas is brought into contact with a limestone slurry (absorbent liquid), and sulfur oxides (for example, sulfite gas) in the exhaust gas are absorbed by the absorption liquid to remove sulfur oxides from the exhaust gas. It is being removed. Sulfur oxides absorbed in the absorption liquid react with calcium in the absorption liquid to become calcium sulfite, and calcium sulfite is oxidized by the air supplied into the absorption liquid to become gypsum. In a wet flue gas desulfurization device, gypsum slurry (absorption liquid containing gypsum) is produced as a by-product.
[0004]
Patent Document 1 discloses that gypsum slurry extracted from a wet flue gas desulfurization apparatus is solid-liquid separated by a gypsum separator to recover gypsum. More specifically, in Patent Document 1, the filter cloth is movably supported on a belt stretched between drums, and the vapor slurry supplied on the filter cloth is sucked from below the belt to form a filtrate and plaster. A belt-type plaster separator for separating steam, a steam injection nozzle for injecting steam into a gypsum slurry on a filter cloth, and a steam hood for covering the steam injection nozzle are disclosed. The steam injected from the steam injection nozzle heats and removes the water contained in the gypsum slurry on the filter cloth.
