Abstract: Alkaline sorbent injection is a new technology to remove SO3 from flue gas in power plant. In this paper, the technical features, system operation characteristics and principles of SO3 removal using alkaline absorbent are introduced. Meanwhile, the theoretical model of SO3 removal reaction is established and verified through practice. Moreover, the impact of alkaline sorbent on the activity of catalyst is examined. The results show that the terminal settling velocity of absorbent is 0.01~0.1m/s, which is far less than that of flue gas. By simplifying the gas-solid reaction model, the deviation of theoretical SO3 removal efficiency from engineering measurement value is less than ±5%, and the SO3 removal efficiency is related to the flue gas velocity, flue gas temperature, particle size, chemical equivalence ratio and so on. In the process of engineering design, in order to ensure the SO3 removal efficiency above 80%, the stoichiometric ratio must be set higher than 1.5, and the particle size of absorbent must be smaller than 30 μm, while the retention time of absorbent particles should not be less than 4s. The side effects of sorbent sodium sulfite on denitration catalysts is negligible.
