During the operation of the calcium-based wet desulfurization system, slurry foaming and overflow are prone to occur, which is not conducive to the safe and stable operation of the desulfurization system. In order to solve the problem of slurry foaming, the main properties of the slurry were tested by taking the wet flue gas desulfurization device of a sintering machine of a steel company as an example. The foaming ability of the liquid is characterized by its foaming height and defoaming time, and the influence of surface active substances, particles and metal ions in the slurry on its foaming ability has been studied through multiple experiments. Combining the foaming mechanism and the desulfurization process, the cause of the slurry foaming is analyzed, and measures are given to prevent and treat the slurry foaming overflow to ensure the normal operation of the absorption tower.
