Advanced integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants nearing completion, such as Sierra-Pacific, employ a circulating fluidized-bed (transport) reactor hot-gas desulfurization (HGD) process that uses 70-180 {micro}m average particle size (aps) zinc-based mixed-metal oxide sorbent for removing H{sub 2}S from coal gas down to less ...
Desulfurization of Lakhra (Pakistan) coal was ... The main reason is that during coal incineration in power plants, high sulfur content of coal poses serious environmental problems owing to sulfur dioxide emission. Combustion of ... can be removed by the froth flotation process [7].
emission in thermal power plants. Since the middle of last century, the research on the control of coal-fired flue gas has developed rapidly. The conventional desulfurization methods in power plants can be divided into wet, dry and semi-dry methods according to the use of reagents and the shape of final products in the desulfurization process.
Desulfurization of steel SubsTech . Desulfurization may be effectively conducted in the reducing slag stage of the steel making process in Electric arc furnace At this stage the oxidizing slag is removed and then lime flux is added to form basic slag with high CaO content Deep desulfurization by slags may be achieved in ladle
On December 16, 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the first national standards to reduce mercury and other toxic air pollution from coal- and oil-fired power plants. More than 20 years after the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, some power plants still do not control emissions of toxic pollutants, even though pollution ...
