Concurrently, given that most backfill materials are exposed to mine water erosion, an investigation into the mechanical performance degradation and damage mechanisms of …
Here the authors show that the global diffusion of flue gas desulfurization technology was very fast at times, especially for retrofit, and even after materiality, but strongly depended on regulation.
The treatment of flue‐gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum, a common solid waste material that is often affected by chloride ions, typically occupies large amounts of land, causes resource waste, and results in environmental pollution. An emission reduction process involving the dechlorination of FGD gypsum and reducing its emissions has been …
Flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGDG) is an industrial by-product generated during the flue gas desulfurization process in coal-fired power plants. Due …
Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum is a waste material produced in desulfurization of flue gases in power stations and heating plants in high amounts. However, the industrial use of FGD gypsum is insufficient considering the amount of its production. Nowadays, it is mostly used for the production of gypsum plasterboards …

In semi-dry flue gas desulphurization in a spray dry scrubber, the desulphurization efficiency is a result of the competition between the spray droplets SO2 absorption rate and the droplets drying rate. The complexity of the process is increased by the 3D nature of the hydrodynamics occurring within the dryer. For accurate optimization …

This reaction is of great interest in the study of wet flue gas desulfurization processes. In the case of the normally used absorption additive lime, the oxidation of S(IV) is an essential step in quantitatively producing the final product, gypsum (CaSO 4 - 2H 2 O). Beside detoxication of S(IV) the dewatering properties of gypsum are improved when a high …
