Abstract

To enhance the efficiency of flue gas purification from straw combustion, a combined approach using the ammonia method and electrostatic charged spray was investigated. This study investigated the charging characteristics of atomized droplets and their impact on flue gas purification. The results show that the charge-to-mass ratio of droplets increases and then decreases as charging voltages increase. At a constant voltage, the ratio increases with higher ammonia concentrations and shows a gradual increase with higher spray pressures. For flue gases from three common straw combustion sources, the average dust removal rate at 8 kV was 2.5 to 3 times higher than at 0 kV. Under the 8 kV condition with a 10% ammonia solution, the NO removal rate was approximately 4.7 times, and the NO 2 removal rate was 2.8 times compared to water alone. Particulate matter, NO, and NO 2 removal rates were 61.2%, 88.6%, and 88.1%, respectively, at a spray pressure of 0.5 MPa, 8 kV charging voltage, and 10% ammonia concentration. This study provides an experimental foundation for developing high-efficiency flue gas purification systems for straw combustion.
