Abstract
A denitrification system comprises an electrostatic precipitator (3) in the foremost stage of the system inlet, an ozone supply nozzle (4) for an ozonizer (5) for generating ozone required for oxidizing the NO into NO.sub.2, followed by a fan or an agitator (6), and an NO.sub.2 absorbent filter (7) in the final stage arranged in that order. Further, this system may comprise the control of feeding back the residual O.sub.3 concentration after oxidation, to achieve the higher denitrification rate.
Claims1
A system for denitrification of exhaust gas comprising:
- an inlet for receiving exhaust gas,
- an electrostatic precipitator (3) installed in a foremost stage of said inlet,
- an ozone supply nozzle (4) installed in a stage immediately subsequent to said electrostatic precipitator (3) for feeding ozone from an ozonizer (5)
- an ozonizer (5) having a substantially proportional input pulse frequency vs. generated ozone amount characteristic for generating ozone for oxidizing NO into NO.sub.2,
- a fan or an agitator (6) installed in a stage immediately subsequent to said ozone supply nozzle (4) for drawing said exhaust gas into said inlet,
- an NO.sub.2 absorbent filter (7) installed in a stage subsequent to said fan or agitator (6),
- a humidifier (8) installed between the ozone supply nozzle (4) and said NO.sub.2 absorbent filter (7),
- a humidity sensor (9) installed between the ozone supply nozzle (4) and said humidifier (8),
- a humidity sensor (10) installed between said humidifier (8) and said NO.sub.2 absorbent filter (7) and
- a humidity controller (11) connected to said humidity sensors (9, 10) and said humidifier (8) for controlling humidity in said exhaust gas within a predetermined range.
