1.1. Flue gas desulfurization processes. The flue gas desulfurization (FGD) processes can be separated into two main categories: once-through and regenerable processes, depending on how the sorbent is treated after SO 2 adsorption (Srivastava and Jozewicz, 2001).Once-through, or non-regenerable, processes utilize the sorbent as a …
However, wet-type scrubbing is extensively utilized in the majority of power plants [7]. In the wet-type scrubbing process, as shown in Fig. 2, SO 2-containing flue gas is absorbed on alkaline aqueous slurry (either lime; 90% or more Ca(OH) 2 or limestone; 90% or more CaCO 3) [8].

tank is used to control feed of solid lime or limestone. 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 12.5 while limestone slurry is roughly neutral. A lime based system will therefore add more lime when pH

The performance of a wet FGD system is greatly influenced by gas–liquid-phase mass transfer, i.e.of Ca 2+ ions in the liquid phase and of SO 2 from the gas phase to the aqueous phase (Hrdlička and Dlouhý 2019).This is further influenced by the rate of dissolution of limestone in the system, directly affecting the concentration of dissolved …
The wet type dominates an estimated 84% of the market share and therefore deserve a special analysis (Frandsen, Kiil, & Johnsson, 2001;Kaminski, 2003).
Wet FGD: Wet FGD systems are generally efficient, with the capability to achieve high sulfur removal rates. They are particularly effective in handling high sulfur content in flue gases. 2. Cost: Dry FGD: …
Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) In most developed countries, wet scrubber (flue-gas desulfurization; FGD) technology is a well-established process for removing SO 2. Also, costs have been reduced significantly from 150-200 $/KW in the 1980s to 70-150 $/kW in the late 1990s. Wet FGD Technology
value is determined as 12 for hydrated lime slurry (Ahlbeck et al., 1993). It is well known that the increasing the alkalinity will increase dissolution rate of SO2 and the rate of sulfation reaction, thus the total sulfation capacity increases. The main drawback for using hydrated lime as a sorbent in wet FGD system is the cost of lime which ...

Lime and limestone products are used in both wet and dry flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) processes. In wet FGD processes, these products are slurried with water and sprayed into a flue-gas scrubber vessel. The acidic gases, normally SO 2 and HCl, are absorbed into the water where they chemically react with the lime and limestone. The resulting ...

Data on worldwide FGD applications reveal that wet FGD technologies, and specifically wet limestone FGD, have been predominantly selected over other FGD tech-nologies. However, lime spray drying (LSD) is being used at the majority of the plants employing dry FGD tech ...
More than ninety percent of U.S. flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system capacity uses lime or limestone. This trend will likely continue into the next phase of federally mandated SO …
