Abstract Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) is a waste incineration process used to eliminate sulfur dioxide (SO2) from flue gas power plants. Limestone/gypsum was injected into the plant to trap sulfur dioxide and change their chemical composition from calcium carbonate to calcium sulfate dehydrate, known as FGD sludge wet scrubber. Nowadays, it is necessary to overcome the environmental pollution caused by the massive production of FGD sludge waste through recycling. In this research, FGD sludge was characterised to reveal its chemical composition, crystalline phase, and FTIR spectra characteristics. FGD sludge recorded a moderate alkaline with a pH of 8.24. Based on the XRD result, FGD sludge was mainly composed of gypsum (CaSO4•2H2O) and anhydrite (CaSO4). XRF analysis also shows that FGD sludge was mainly composed of calcium oxide, sulfur trioxide, silica, and potassium oxide.

Sulfur dioxide is one of the most commonly found gases, which contaminates the air, damages human health and the environment. To decrease the damage, it is important to control the emissions on power stations, as the major part of sulfur dioxide in atmosphere is produced during electric energy generation on power plants. The present work describes flue gas desulfurization process optimizing strategy using data mining. The optimisation modified genetic method of flue gas desulfurization process based on artificial neural network was developed. It affords to represent the time series characteristics and factual efficiency influence on desulfurization and increase its precision of prediction. The vital difference between this developed genetic method and other similar methods is in using adaptive mutation, that uses the level of population development in working process. It means that less important genes will mutate in chromosome more probable than high suitability genes. It increases accuracy and their role in searching. The comparison exercise of developed method and other methods was done with the result that new method gives the smallest predictive error (in the amount of released SO2) and helps to decrease the time in prediction of efficiency of flue gas desulfurization. The results afford to use this method to increase efficiency in flue gas desulfurization process and to decrease SO2 emissions into the atmosphere

The main components of polymer carboxyl group are introduced.The effects of macromolecular carboxyl groups on the limestone-gypsum wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system of coal-fired power plants in China were studied by test method. The results showed that the macromolecular carboxyl groups can accelerate the chemical absorption of SO2 under the action of active agents and crystallization agents, improve the desulfurization efficiency of about 2%, and shorten the limestone ablation time of more than 40%, catalytic calcium sulfite oxidation of calcium sulfate.

Modeling of the kinetics of the synthesis process for calcium sulfate α-hemihydrate from gypsum formed by flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is important to produce high-performance products with minimal costs and production cycles under hydrothermal conditions. In this study, a model was established by horizontally translating the obtained crystal size distribution (CSD) to the CSD of the stable phase during the transformation process. A simple method was used to obtain the nucleation and growth rates. A nonlinear optimization algorithm method was employed to determine the kinetic parameters. The model can be successfully used to analyze the transformation kinetics of FGD gypsum to α-hemihydrate in an isothermal batch crystallizer. The results showed that the transformation temperature and stirring speed exhibit a significant influence on the crystal growth and nucleation rates of α-hemihydrate, thus altering the transformation time and CSD of the final products. The characteristics obtained by the proposed model can potentially be used in the production of α-hemihydrate.

SO3 is one of the main precursors of atmospheric PM2.5, and its emission has attracted more and more attention in the industry. This paper briefly analyzes the harm of SO3 and the method of controlled condensation to test SO3. The effect of cooperative removal of SO3 by ultra-low emission technology in some coal-fired power plants has been tested by using the method of controlled condensation. The results show that the cooperative removal of SO3 by ultra-low emission technology in coal-fired power plants is effective. The removal rate of SO3 by low-low temperature electrostatic precipitators and electrostatic-fabric integrated precipitators can be exceeded 80%, while the removal rate of SO3 by wet flue gas desulfurization equipment displays lower than the above two facilities, and the wet electrostatic precipitator shows a better removal effect on SO3. With the use of ultra-low emission technology in coal-fired power plants, the SO3 emission concentration of the tail chimney reaches less than 1 mg / Nm3.
