Flue Gas Desulfurization
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.

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 …
Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) – Multi-vortex Wet Air Scrubber
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.
