The invention discloses a method for applying a
composite material containing iron and carbon as SNCR additive to an SNCR technology, belonging to the technical field of
flue gas
pollutant control. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, fully mixing 70%-75% of carbon, 15%-18% of Fe3O4 and 10%-12% of FeOOH, conducting calcining for 2 hours by using
inert gas at a temperature of 200-300 DEG C to prepare the iron-carbon
composite material, conducting cooling, performing
drying for 24 hours at a temperature of 110 DEG C, carrying out granulating, screening particles with particle sizes in a range of 20-60 meshes, and sealing and storing the particles; and then removing
NOx by using the iron-carbon
composite material as the SNCR additive under the conditions that a temperature is 750-1000 DEG C, an
oxygen concentration is 2 vol.% and a
molar ratio of an NH3 concentration to an NO concentration is 0.5-1. According to the invention, CO and FeOOH generated by carbon in an anoxic environment can provide SNCR with active groups OH and H required by a reaction at low temperature and promote C and NH3 to generate a new
reducing agent HCNO; and when the temperature reaches the oxidation temperature of Fe3O4, NO is adsorbed by active sites on the surface of Fe3O4, so reduction of NO to generate N2 is promoted. The iron-carbon composite material is adopted as the additive for SNCR denitration, and existing equipment of a factory does not need to be transformed, so
investment cost is low, operation is easy, an SNCR denitration temperature window can be reduced, and meanwhile, a denitration rate can be increased.
