For the wet desulphurization of flue gas, a scrubbing liquid containing limestone, hydrated lime or caustic substances is recirculating and injected to the exhaust where SO 2 is absorbed in the liquid and finally reacts e. g. to Gypsum. Simultaneously with the absorption, the flue gas is saturated with water vapor.
Semi-dry flue gas desulfurization was investigated with several kinds of SO 2 sorbents, such as slaked lime, limestone, Mg(OH) 2 and concrete pile sludge, in a powder-particle spouted bed. Slurry droplets including sorbent fine particles were fed to a spouted bed of coarse inert particles spouted with hot gas containing SO 2 . SO 2 …

After fly ash removal, the flue gas (seen in Figure 1) is bubbled through the scrubber, and the slurry is added from above.The lime or limestone reacts with the SO 2 in the flue gas to create insoluble calcium sulfite (CaSO 3) as in the equations below. Limestone: CaCO 3 (s) + SO 2 (g) → CaSO 3 (s) + CO 2 (g) Lime: Ca(OH) 2 (s) + SO 2 (g) → ...

The captured SO 2 combines with the limestone slurry to form CaSO 3 (and CO 2) which is further oxidized to the AN41960 Figure 1: Wet scrubber using a limestone slurry to remove sulfur dioxide from flue gas.
Wet limestone scrubbing is a classic example of an acid-base chemical reaction performed on an industrial scale. In this case the acid is sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the flue gas. The base consists of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and, generally, to a much smaller extent, magnesium carbonate (MgCO3), in the limestone. Scrubber…

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.
Hydrated lime is normally used as SO 2 sorbent in spray dry scrubbers, whereas limestone is considered unreactive under conditions prevailing in such a system. However, limestone is more easily available and several times cheaper than hydrated lime. We tried to use limestone to remove SO 2 from flue gas in the semidry FGD process …
