Description
10~
The present invention relates to a method of treating a sticky materlal-containing exhaust gas. For example, during operation of a coke oven, gas having tar entrained therein leaks from the charging holes or the doors of the oven when opened. It is known to treat such a gas by using a dust scrubber, electrostatic precipitator, or dust collecting filter. However, a dust scrubber exhibits poor removal efficiency, an electrostatic precipitator involves the danger of explosion, and a dust collecting filter has the problem of filter clogging.
In the present invention, protective layers of pulverized coal or coke are formed on the surfaces of bag-filters to capture and retain sticky materials contained in such exha-ust gas, e.g., tar, in order to prevent filter clogging by the sticky material in the dust collecting filter. Furthermore, in accordance with the present inven-tion, the pulverized coal or coke containing the tar can be - removed from the filters and charged into the coke oven again, making it unnecessary to discard it. This is economically very advantageous, and at the same time, since a closed system can be employed, there is no generation of industrial waste, and therefore no problem of pollution.
U.S.P. 4,010,013 discloses treatment of tar-containing exhaust gases by using pulverized coal or coke, However, such application does not suggest two of the critical features of the present invention relating to the particle size or the coal or coke and the manner in which the coal or coke is introduced into the system. These and ' ~.

other lmportant distinctions between the present invention and the method described in U.S.P. 4,010S013 will be apparent from the description which follows.
Thus, the present invention comprises the steps of introducting pulverized coal or coke having a particle size of 0.3mm or less into the bottom of a hopper, which is positioned below, and integrally connected with, a bag-house containing bag-filters, to form a protective layer of pulverized coal or coke having a thickness of at least lmm on the surface of each bag-filter, and then introducing the sticky material-containing exhaust gas into said hopper in a manner such that the gas passes through said protective layer while said protective layer captures and retains the sticky material.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an apparatus which can be used in carrying out the method of the present invention; Fig. 2 is an enlarged trans-verse sec.ion of a bag-filter having a protective layer formed thereon; and Fig. 3 is a graph showing particle size distri-bution for pulverized coal and coke which are supplied to thebag-filters for the formation of the protective layers.
The coal or coke (or mixture thereof) to be used in the present invention should have a particle size not greater than 0.3mm. That is, all or substantially all of the coal or coke particles should preferably have a tiameter not greater than 0.3mm. However, it is also possible to use a mixture of coal or coke particles wherein some of the particles are larger than 0.3mm, with the critical proviso that at least Jb/ - 2 - -~ ' ~ . ', ' ~08~11i , ~ , , 60% by weight of the mixture be particles having sizes not greater than 0.3mm.
It is also critical, in accordance with the present invention, that the coal or coke particles which are introduced into the hopper circulate through the hopper in a vertical rotary manner, such as illustrated by the arrows in Fig, 1. The rotary motion of the particles within the hopper can be accomplished by introducing the particles into the hopper at the bottom of the hopper, as also shown Fig. 1.
Turning now to a more detailed discussion of the invention, and with respect to the drawings, numeral 1 is a bag-house with bag-filters 2 contained therein and a hopper 3 provided below. A pulverized coal or coke supply pipe 4 is connected to the bottom of the hopper 3, and said supply pipe 4 is provided with a particle size adjusting device 5. The particle size adjusting device 5 pulverizes coal or coke to a particle size of 0.3mm or less. This pul-verized coal or coke is introduced in admixture with air into the hopper 3 from the bottom of the hopper 3 through said supply pipe 4, so that the pulverized coal or coke circulates in a rotary flow in the hopper 3 as shown by the arrows in Fig. 1. In view of this rotary flow, the pulverized coal or coke gradually deposits onto the inner surfaces of the bag-filters 2. The rotary flow acts to raise again the pulver-izet coal or coke which has dropped down from the bag-filters 2 ~o that almost all of the coal or coke particles are deposited onto the bag-filters 2, improving efficiency considerably and ~b/ - 3 .

It is therefore apparent that, in accordance with the present invention, the pulverized coal or coke is effi- -ciently deposited onto the inner surfaces of the bag-filters
2, to form the protective layers 6. In this case, if coal or ;~
coke (or a mixture thereof) pulverized to a particle size of 0.3mm or less is used, or if a mixture of pulverized coal and/or coke is used wherein at least 60% by weight of the coal and/or coke particles have particle sizes of 0,3mm or less, the coal and/or coke is deposited onto the entire inner surfaces of the bag-filters 2 to form substantially uniform and very favorable protective layers 6.

than 40~ by weight of the partlcles have particle sizes greater than 0.3mm, such uniform deposition cannot be attained, resulting in unfavorable protective layers 6.
For example, measurement of the coal and coke pulverized by the particle size adjusting device 5 showed the particle size tistributions given in Fig. 3.
In addition, since the object of the protective layers is to protect the bag-filters 2, as well as to cap-ture and retain the sticky material, the protective layers 106 must be at least lmm thick. When the pulverized coal or coke is introduced from the lower ends of the bag-filters 2 the coal or coke is deposited in the bag-filters 2 in a partially vertical manner, that is, the layers are thick at the lower part of the bag-filters and become progressively thinner toward the upper part of the bag-filters. Unless the protective layers are at least lmm thick, even at the thinnest portion of said layers, the ob;ect of the protective layers cannot be attained. The amount of pulverized coal or coke to be supplied to the hopper 3 is determined by giving consideration to this partially vertical manner of deposition and minimum thickness requirement.
After the protective layers 6 are formed on the inner surfaces of the bag-filters 2 as mentioned above, the exhaust gas with sticky material contained therein, for example, tar-containing exhaust gas from a coke oven 7, is introduced -lnto the bag filters 2 through the exhaust gas introtucing pipe 8, to pass through the protective layers 6. This passage gradually accumulates the tar on the surfaces of the protective .

layers 6, and in time, thin tar films of about 0.5mm ln thickness are formed on the 6urfaces of the protective layers 6. In this state, the pressure drop through the bag-filters 2 exceeds 300mm Aq (water), at which time removal of the protective layers is required, The time until these tar films are formed is proportional to the concentration of tar in an exhaust gas; as an example, it takes about 5 hours to form a 0.5mm thick tar film after introducing an exhaust gas having a tar concentration of about 100 mg/Nm3.
The protective layers 6 are removed by any usual means, e.g. by reverse flow or shaking the bag-filters 2, and at this time,the tar films drop as flakes together with the protective layers 6. The pulverized coal or coke together with the tar is then discharged from a discharge pipe 14 through storage means 9, to be returned to the coke oven 7 as a raw material for producing coke.
It is of course possible to use plural bag-houses with bag-filters contained therein. In this case, alternate use of the bag-filters by means of valve operation provides a continuous method of treating the exhaust gas.
Fig. 1 is given only for convenience and as an example to explain the method of the present invention. The pre~ent invention is not limited thereto.
In Fig. 1, the numerals 10, 11, 12 and 15 designate vslves. To form the protective layers 6, the valves 10 and 12 are opened and the valves 11 and 15 are closed, and the pul-verized coal or coke is then drawn into the hopper 3 and bag-fllters 2 by a blower 13.

Besides, almost complete capture and -retention of sticky material, such as tar mist, can be accomplished.
In addition, after the protective layers, with the sticky ~aterial caught thereon, are removed, the pressure drop through the bag-filters returns to essentially the same value as before formation of the protective layers, thus allowing very smooth repetitive operations.

The present invention is also effectively applicable to removal of sticky materials from gases which contàin such sticky materials, exhausted, for example, from carbon elec-trode manufacturing plants, plants for producing deliquescentchloric fertilizers, and plants using printing inks, aside from the coke oven as mentioned above. Preferably, the con-centration of sticky material, e.g. tar, in the exhaust gases is less than 5000 mg/Nm3. ~or example, the concentration may be 50-5000 mg/Nm3, although the present invention is applicable to concentrations above and below this range.
