SO2 scrubbing technologies: A review

Abstract: Electricity generating units may use sulfur dioxide (SO2) scrubbers to meet the requirements of Phase II of the Acid Rain SO2 Reduction Program. Additionally, the use of scrubbers can reduce mercury emissions. It is timely, therefore, to review the commercially available flue gas desulfurization (FGD) technologies that have an established record of performance. Data on worldwide applications reflect that wet FGD technologies have been used at most of the installations, 522 out of 668, completed through 1998. I… Show more

“…This technology is also known as semi-dry flue gas desulfurization and is generally used for sources that burn low-to medium-sulfur coal. In the United States, this process has been used in both retrofit applications and new installations on units burning low-sulfur coal [2,22].…”

“…The absorption of the SO 2 occurs in an absorber where seawater and flue gas are brought into close contact in a countercurrent flow. When the flue gas comes into contact with seawater in the absorber, the SO 2 in the flue gas dissolves in water to form bisulfite ðHSO 2 3 Þ and some of the bisulfite is converted to sulfite ðSO 22 3 Þ [9]:…”

“…Released SO X compounds can be reduced by the same methods employed in the power generating industry, i.e. by absorption in a lime/limestone slurry to produce FDG (flue gas desulphurised gypsum) [Srivastava et al, 2001;Ogenga et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2008].…”
