High purity anhydrous LaBr3 powders in large quantities were successfully obtained by stepped dehydration of LaBr3-7H2O using NH4Br as additive. Experiments revealed that adding proper amount of NHaBr could effectively restrain the hydrolysis of LaBr3 during dehydration and thus decreased the yield of deleterious impurity of LaOBr. Optimum preparation conditions, including the amount of NH4Br in use, the dehydration temperature and atmosphere, were investigated by DTA/TG and water/oxygen analysis. The Raman characterization of the as-prepared anhydrous LaBr3 was also presented.展开更多

The influence of NH4Br addition on the ignition temperature and combustion characteristics was studied using a thermogravimetric analyzer. The effects of the NHaBr addition amount on gas-phase mercury oxidation and removal were investigated in a bench scale of 6 kW fluidized bed combustor （FBC）. Mercury concentrations in flue gas were determined by the Ontario hydro method （OHM） and the mercury mass balance was obtained. Results show that the NH4Br addition has little influence on the ignition temperature of Guizhou anthracite. With the mercury mass balance of 95.47%, the proportion of particulate mercury Hg^p, gaseous mercury Hg^0 and Hg^2＋ are 75.28%, 11.60% and 13. 12%, respectively, as raw coal combustion. The high particulate mercury Hg^p in flue gas is caused by the high unburned carbon content in fly ash. When the NH4Br addition amount increases from 0 to 0. 3%, the concentration of gaseous Hg^0 and Hg^2＋ in flue gas decreases continuously, leading to the Hg^p increase accordingly. The oxidation rate of Hg^0 is positively correlated to the Br addition amount. It demonstrates that coal combustion with NH4Br addition can promote Hg^0 oxidation and removal. NOx concentration in flue gas exhibits a descending trend with the NHaBr addition and the removal rate reaches 17.31% with the addition amount of 0.3%. Adding NH4Br to coal also plays a synergistic role in denitration.展开更多
