The limestone-gypsum method produces gypsum as an end product, which is marketable for industrial re-use. So-called lime scrubbing reliably removes sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and ash from the flue gases and is one of the most widely used desulphurisation methods.
Gypsum as a by-product. The process uses limestone or lime powder to absorb sulfur from flue gas. The sulfur is converted into gypsum in an open spray tower absorber. Gypsum slurry is dewatered into an easily handled by-product that is suitable as a raw material, for example, in …
Flue gas desulphurization (FGD) materials are produced in abundant quantities by coal burning utilities. Due to environmental restrains, flue gases must be ''cleaned'' prior to release to the atmosphere. They are two general methods to ''scrub'' flue gas: wet and dry. The choice of scrubbing material is often defined by the type of coal being burned, i.e. its composition.
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 oxidation yield is achieved.

Gypsum can also be synthesized. Synthetic gypsum is mainly obtained from coal-fired power plants, as a by-product of flue-gas desulfurization. Flue gases are produced when coal is burned to generate electricity, and these gases contain sulfur dioxide. According to the mandate given by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, sulfur dioxide has to ...

Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) by-products are created when coal is burned and SO2 is removed from the flue gases. These FGD by-products are often alkaline and contain many nutrients including S ...
Flue gas desulfurization (FGD), can produce gypsum (calcium sulfate) which is potentially useful as a substitute for agricultural and crude gypsum. Moreover, forced oxidation is an advanced method in producing high quality FGD by-product gypsum that competes for use …
Interest in using gypsum as a management tool to improve crop yields and soil and water quality has recently increased. Abundant supply and availability of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum, a by-product of scrubbing sulfur from combustion gases at coal-fired power plants, in major agricultural ...
The conversion of FGD-gypsum to calcium carbonate and ammonium sulfate by reacting it with COz and ammonia or by reacting it with ammonium carbonate is being studied in this program. A variation of this process could provide electric utilities a means to convert the C02 and SO2 in their flue gas to useful commercial products.
Nov 01, 2014· An industrial demonstration unit using natural gas as a heat source was built to calcine the by-products of MgO wet flue gas desulfurization from power plants; influencing factors on the SO 2 content in calciner gas were comprehensively analyzed; and an advantageous recycling condition of MgO and SO 2 from by-products was summarized. Results showed that the SO 2 content in the calciner gas …

Synthetic Gypsum. Synthetic gypsum is produced at some coal-fired power plants as a by-product of pollution control measures. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 mandate that electrical utilities install systems for removal ("scrubbing") of sulfur dioxide (SO 2) from flue gases that are generated during the burning of coal.The resulting materials are termed flue gas desulfurization (FGD ...

A new, emerging flue gas desulfurization technology has been described by the IAEA. It is a radiation technology where an intense beam of electrons is fired into the flue gas at the same time as ammonia is added to the gas. The Chendu power plant in China started up such a flue gas desulfurization unit on a 100 MW scale in 1998.
