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 …
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 …

Legislation is considered in some countries, especially since the introduction of dry fluoride recovery systems prevent no SO2 emission. Flakt SO2 …
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 …

Roofline wet scrubbers are employed at aluminum smelters to provide significant reduction in fluoride emissions from the potrooms. Roofline wet scrubbers are most useful at locations that have emission performance constraints owing to hooding efficiency limitations or pot technology issues that increase fluoride losses to the potroom.

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.
