This chapter discusses mercury removal by wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems installed to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from coal flue gas. While most wet FGD systems were not originally designed to remove mercury from flue gas, there can be considerable co-benefit capture of mercury under favorable conditions.
Wet flue gas desulfurization or scrubber systems are very effective in reducing sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions caused by coal combustion boilers. The flue gas discharged from the boiler is fed into the absorber, where a mixture of water and pulverized limestone is sprayed on the flue gas. The limestone slurry reduces sulfur emissions by absorbing the …
Abstract In wet limestone flue gas desulfurization (FGD), elevated fly ash loadings can initiate the formation of liquid phase aluminum/fluoride (A1F n ) complexes which inhibit limestone dissolution, causing depressed slurry pH and reduced SO2 removal. This phenomenon was examined in a bench-scale pilot FGD scrubber system, and in batch …

This type of scrubber is sometimes also called dry scrubber. The absorber material has to be replaced after its surface is saturated. Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) is a set of technologies used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from exhaust flue gasses of fossil-fuel power plants, and from the emissions of other sulfur oxide emitting processes.

Our wet FGD systems, or wet scrubbers, have operated efficiently, economically and reliably since 1971. Current designs can achieve more than 99% SO 2 ...
In wet lime scrubbing, lime is added to water and the resulting slurry is sprayed into a flue gas scrubber. In a typical system, the gas to be cleaned enters the bottom of a cylinder-like tower and flows upward through a shower of lime slurry. The sulfur dioxide is absorbed into the spray and then precipitated as wet calcium sulfite.
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 …
1. Introduction. The term Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) system has traditionally referred to wet scrubbers that remove SO 2 emissions from large electric utility boilers. The FGD systems emerged in the industrial field of the coal-fired power plants and on some industrial processes in the early 1970s in United States (US) and Japan, and …

Introduction. Sulfur dioxide (SO 2) is one of the major pollutants contributing to frequent hazy weather in China.A large amount of SO 2 in the atmosphere comes from coal combustion. As the amount of coal for power generation accounts for 45% of the total coal consumption in 2015 (National Bureau of Statistics [NBS] Citation 2017), the Chinese …
1. Introduction. The problems arising from SO 2 emissions in energy production from coal are controlled by means of different kinds of Flue Gas Desulphurization systems (FGD), among which the most popular are wet FGD or scrubbers. These systems can achieve SO 2 removal efficiencies higher than 99% …
A universal model of wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD), based on the double contact liquid-column scrubber, has been developed, using the idea of module …
A mathematical model of ammonia-based wet flue gas desulfurization process was developed based on the double film theory. The calculated results of the desulfurization system for two 220 t·h−1 boilers per unit by this model were compared to that of corresponding measured data. It was found that the calculated results agree well …
This phenomenon was examined in a bench-scale pilot FGD scrubber system, and in batch reactor experiments, under conditions similar to those in full-scale utility FGD systems. It …
The partial processes of the wet flue gas desulfurization in a spray tower system can be classified as follows [7]: • Limestone dissolution. (1) CaCO 3 + 2H + → Ca 2+ + CO 2 + H 2 O. Limestone is slightly soluble in aqueous solutions and this step is considered significant for the operation of wet FGD systems [10], [11]. Limestone is ...

Introduction. In the industrial production of China, the processing of phosphate rock, volcanic eruptions, kerosene combustion and aluminum smelting will lead to flue gas emissions containing a large amount of SO 2.SO 2 is a highly irritating gas. Because SO 2 is freely soluble in water and enters the respiratory tract, it can generate …
SO 2 removal in a limestone forced oxidized (LSFO) wet scrubber is controlled by how much SO 2 can be absorbed per unit volume of recirculated slurry (lb SO 2 per gallon, or kg per liter). This is referred to as absorption. SO 2 absorption is limited by the amount of solid and liquid phase alkalinity provided in each gallon of slurry. The absorption is also a …
The main air pollution control systems in primary aluminium smelters are focused on control of particulates and fluorides. Generally, only some smelters apply additional control systems to abate the emissions of sulfur, primarily in the form of sulfur dioxide (SO 2).This is driven by specific conditions, like in Norway, or by cumulative …
