Limestone preparation system in flue gas desulfurization FGD consists of following sub systems 1 Limestone Handling System Limestone will be delivered to the limestone storage shed by truck Limestone will be delivered from the limestone unloading hopper to the limestone day silo by limestone transfer conveyor and bucket elevator 2
·The limestone scrubbing process is a commercialized technology for desulfurization in large scale thermal power plants In this process SO 2 in the exhaust gas is removed via absorption in the alkaline limestone slurry and gypsum is obtained as a byproduct [5] [6]
·The limestone requirement and pH value of the lime gypsum slurry were determined after different amounts of calcium formate were added In addition the mechanism for the desulfurization efficiency improvement with calcium formate was investigated in depth and the results were verified in an industrial power plant
·Desulfurization wastewater is industrial wastewater with a high salt content high metal ions and high hardness produced by flue gas desulfurization of the limestone gypsum method in coal fired power plants This paper summarizes the source of desulfurization wastewater water quality characteristics water quality impacts and other
·Flue gas desulfurized gypsum mainly comes from thermal power plants smelters and large enterprise boilers and contains industrial by products produced through a wet desulfurization combustion process where SO 2 gas and lime slurry react under strong oxidation conditions The main component of this gypsum is calcium sulfate
·Since the beginning of the 1990s due to international regulations on air quality a large number of flue gas desulphurisation FGD installations have been constructed in the Polish coal fired power industry Thanks to that SO2 capture in this industry increased to ca 90% Since wet lime or fluidized bed boilers were mostly used
Special attention is required on the fine particle control after desulfurization because a large quantity of fine particles are emitted into the atmosphere from the coal fired power plants In an attempt to figure out the transformation of fine particles during the limestone gypsum desulfurization the physical properties of fine particles before and after the desulfurization
·Faced with increasingly stringent air quality regulations we will see an increasing need for FGD flue gas desulfurization units efficient devices to remove SO 2 of the flue gas from a coal fired power station That will bring a moderate increase in limestone based sorbents consumption
·The feasibility of lime softening sludge utilization for flue gas desulfurization in coal fired power plants was evaluated through a supply demand analysis and a life cycle assessment LCA To evaluate the demand and supply of lime sludge to replace limestone on a national scale the annual amount
·The analysis is based on the measurement of units coal power units of which there might be several in a single plant Coal power plants that are either FBC or IGCC were identified based on
