Wet calciferous flue gas desulphurization systems. Typical technological map of flue gas desulphurization plant

The most wide-spread flue gas desulphurization method - is calciferous-gypsum process. Sulfur dioxide in gases reacts with calciferous suspension, which has pH from 5.5 to 6.0, forming calcium sulfide:
SO2 + 3 H2O * SO32-+ 2 H3O + Ca2 + + SO32-+ 2 H2O * CaSO3 * 2 H2O
As a result of oxidation of sulfide by oxygen in clarifier tank of the scrubber gypsum is formed:
CaSO3 + 0,5 O2 + 2 H2O * CaSO4 * 2 H2O
Ions of chloride and fluoride are washed away and removed of clarifier tank together with gypsum.
Existing loads in wet calciferous flue gas desulphurization palnts
- Hot flue gases (temperature up to 180 ° C)
- Flue gases with formation of acid condensation
- Suspension of scrubber (temperatures 45-55 ° C in coal-fired power plants, to 75 ° C - lignite-fired )
- Purified , steam saturated gases (temperatures 45-55 ° C, in lignite-fired powerstations, to – 75 ° C)
- Repeatedly heating purified gases (temperatures 70-110 ° C)
