·Among the reasons for the success of the wet FGD system there is the possibility of recovering a new product to be allocated on the market namely gypsum He and Lee 2014 In fact the synthetic gypsum suitable for several applications such as wallboard manufacturing is the by product of the SO 2 scrubbing process for scrubbers
·A detailed process model of the wet limestone flue gas desulfurization system has been presented This model can be used to calculate indispensable parameters for estimating costs and next to minimize capital and operating costs The process model describes most important stage of SO2 removal running in an absorber and a holding
·The direct sulfation reaction is defined as the sulfation reaction between SO2 and limestone in an uncalcined state and is typically relevant for flue gas desulfurization by direct sorbent
·Neither lime nor limestone dissolves well in water and therefore both are pumped in slurry form to the scrubber tower Lime slurry is more alkaline having a pH of while limestone slurry is roughly neutral A lime based system will therefore add more lime when pH drops below 12 and a limestone based system will be controlled around 6
1 ·For this reason it is used in fuel gas desulfurization to remove toxic emissions from fossil fuel power plants remove impurities from iron and control the viscosity of glass during glassmaking 6 Animal Feed Animals need calcium for healthy growth and development Ground limestone powder is a healthy and viable solution instead of bones
·Semi dry flue gas desulfurization was investigated with several kinds of SO2 sorbents such as slaked lime limestone Mg OH 2 and concrete pile sludge in a powder particle spouted bed
·Compared with limestone based wet flue gas desulfurization WFGD magnesia based WFGD has many advantages but it is not popular in China due to the lack of good wastewater treatment schemes
Desulfurization is a technology used to separate SO 2 from its emitting sources such as exhaust flue gases of fossil fuel power plants oil refineries etc The crucial requirement to decrease sulfur loading in fuels to nearly zero content is imposed by mandatory environmental and health protocols as well as the accurate tolerance needed for their use
Control and Treatment of Air Emissions Shahryar Jafarinejad in Petroleum Waste Treatment and Pollution Control 2017 Flue Gas Desulfurization Flue gas desulfurization FGD is a scrubbing technique that uses an alkaline reagent typically a sodium or calcium based alkaline regent to remove SO 2 from flue gas Tri State
