In the article the comparative analysis of energy consumption in the process of combustion of solid fuel containing sulfur compounds, while simultaneously feeding directly into the fire space of the boiler of carbonate sorbents (CaCO3, Ca(OH)2, CaO) for the absorption of formed sulfur dioxide, as is the case in dry methods of flue gas desulphurization, was presented. The calculations were made when supplying sorbents in a stoichiometric ratio and with a triple excess sorbent. It was shown that the energy costs for decomposition and heating of CaCO3 and Ca(OH)2 or only the heating of CaO when applied in the dry method desulphurization are practically compensated by the secondary reactions of the sequestration of sulfur dioxide. A simple and practical method for determining the temperature of a stationary state with simultaneous flow of coal combustion processes and sulfur dioxide chemisorption by carbonate sorbents was proposed, which is essential for choosing a temperature range in which sulfur is actively absorbed without decomposition of CaSO4 formed.

The results of numerical experiments concerning the process of calcination of small grained limestone particles in contact with the gas phase of a fluidized bed of inert grainy material for obtaining a high-performance sorbent are given. The character of the change of the basic qualitative parameters of the obtained sorbent – droopiness, surface area, mass is presented depending on the time of residence of the initial limestones with a diameter of 80–200 nm with initial porosity e0 = 0,03–0,1 and pore diameter dpor = 3,84–17 nm in the high-reaction zone when the temperature of the gas phase of the fluidized bed is changed within 900–1200 °С. The obtained results allow further in the design stage to determine the optimum hardware and process design of the process of calcination, depending on the initial parameters of the limestone, which will provide the desired quality of the limestone sorbent in accordance with the given power installation.

Thermodynamic analysis of the high-toxic substances (hydrazine, dimethylhydrazine and dinitrogen tetroxide) thermal decomposition process contained in liquid mixtures in different concentrations was carried out. Calculations of equilibrium compositions were carried out in a wide temperature range for a steam-water plasmatron. The aim of the study was finding the operational parameter’s optimal range of values ensuring the complete decomposition of primary high-toxic components provided secondary harmful substances minimal formation and obtaining acceptance level of specific energy consumption. The methods of further harmful secondary emissions neutralization have been determined. Bibl. 9, Fig. 7.
