Principle of SCR denitrification in cement plants

    The main principle of SCR denitrification in cement plants is to use selective catalytic reduction technology to convert nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust gas into harmless nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O).

    Specifically, the SCR denitrification process includes the following key steps: first, spray the denitrification agent (such as ammonia or urea solution) into the high-temperature flue gas. Then, these denitration agents undergo ammonification reaction with nitrogen oxides in the flue gas under the action of catalysts. Commonly used catalysts include metals such as vanadium, molybdenum, and titanium, which have good catalytic activity and can promote this reaction process. Under the action of a catalyst, ammonia and nitrogen oxides undergo catalytic reduction reactions, ultimately generating harmless nitrogen and water.

    In order to achieve optimal results in the SCR denitrification process, it is necessary to control a series of operating parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and the mixing ratio of ammonia and exhaust gas. Meanwhile, the selection, regeneration, and replacement of catalysts are also key factors in ensuring denitrification efficiency. In addition, economic factors such as energy consumption, investment, and operating costs of the process need to be considered.

    In practical applications, the SCR denitrification process is usually combined with steps such as waste gas pretreatment, ammonia preparation and storage, catalytic reactors, system integration, and waste gas emission control to form a complete denitrification system. Through this system, cement plants can effectively reduce nitrogen oxide emissions in waste gas, meet environmental standards, and achieve green production.
