A mathematical model for flue gas desulfurization using pyrolusite pulp in jet bubbling reactor (JBR) was described. Firstly, based on the concept of two stages mass balance with chemical reaction, two models were set up, for jet bubbling zone and rising bubble zone, respectively, according to the construction of JBR. The models consist of two coupling differential equations and were solved simultaneously by integral and separation of the variables. Then the SO2 absorption efficiency expression was developed, considering the great discrepancy existing between the gas-side mass transfer coefficients of the jet bubbling zone and gas bubble rising zone. The final expression associates SO2 absorption efficiency with process conditions and JBR structure parameters, which can give some instruction and guidance for the study of reactor operation process. Predicted results from the theoretical model, including effect of pH value of the pulp, flue gas temperature and inlet SO2 concentration of flue gas on SO2 absorption efficiency, were found to be in good agreement with experimental data obtained in a jet bubbling reactor. The model provides a basis for the process scale up and operating guide.

It’s a gas-liquid-solid three-phase reaction system in the reactor for flue gas desulfurization using pyrolusite pulp. Based on the two-film mass transfer theory and shrine core model, the macro-kinetics of flue gas desulfurization using pyrolusite pulp in a double magnetic stirred reactor were investigated. The effects of diffusion in solid film, surface chemical reaction, diffusion in liquid phase and gas phase of the process, have been carried out to distinguish the control step of the process. It was observed that SO2 absorption efficiency increased with the decreasing of pyrolusite particle size and varied gently when the pyrolusite particle diameter decreased to 0.18mm. SO2 absorption efficiency increased not significantly along with the increase of temperature and the liquid phase stirring speed but increased significantly along with the increase of the gas phase stirring speed. Experiment results showed that under simulated industrial conditions, gas phase diffusion was the control step compared to other related factors, given that pyrolusite particle diameter was kept below 0.1mm.

In the limestone/gypsum wet flue gas desulfurization pilot-scale test rig, key parameters such as SO2 absorption rate, mass transfer were experimentally determined.The results show that desulphurizing capacity of gypsum and fly ash is relatively weaker, which is only equivalent to fresh limestone with a content of 0.27% and 1.5% respectively. pH-t curve of slurry with different levels of fly ash could be divided into a sharply increasing stage and a steadily increasing stage. The leaching content of Mn2+ is about 9 times of Fe3+ , Mn2+ can form intermediate complex with HSO3- in the solution, which can induce catalytic reaction and accelerate SO2 absorption. Fly ash in gypsum slurry can obviously promote desulfurization. The pH value of slurry is high at the initial reaction stage, and effect of fly ash on SO2 absorption rate is less than 1.5%. when the pH value is decreased to 5.0, The leaching content of Mn2+ will grow with the decrease of pH value, better catalytic efficiency can be gained, effect of fly ash on SO2 absorption rate can increase 6.0% at most. The reaction is controlled by liquid phase resistance; the ratio of gas phase resistance to overall resistance is less than 38%. Mn2+ concentration of slurry increases with pH value decreasing and fly ash concentration increasing, which has significant effect on catalyzed oxidation of SO32-.

This Paper introduced the research background and technical features of the simulative experiments in the laboratory with the sorbent of lime solution without lime particles. By means of the effects of various influencing factors on SO2 removal efficiency were studied carefully. These parameters include gas flow rate (G), inlet SO2 concentration, liquid-to-gas ratios, the height of the packing and the additive, at the same time menstruating the pH value of the liquid flowing from the tower. To improve desulfurization efficiency of limestone in the wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD), effect of the hexanedioic acid additive on limestone desulfurization agent were studied. The result shows that this system has advantages of high efficiency, stable, low investment and low circulating cost. The result could give a reference to optimization and will be helpful in selecting desulfurization techniques.

This paper reports an exploratory study on the use of a sulfite-rich industrial effluent to enable the integration of a sulfite–sulfide–sulfate cycle to the conventional carbon and nitrogen cycles in wastewater treatment to achieve sludge minimization through the non-sludge-producing Sulfate reduction, Autotrophic denitrification and Nitrification Integrated (SANI) process. A laboratory-scale sulfite reduction reactor was set up for treating sulfite-rich synthetic wastewater simulating the wastewater from industrial flue gas desulfurization (FGD) units. The results indicated that the sulfite reduction reactor can be started up within 11 d, which was much faster than that using sulfate. Thiosulfate was found to be the major sulfite reduction intermediate, accounting for about 30% of the total reduced sulfur in the reactor effluent, which may enable additional footprint reduction of the autotrophic denitrification reactor in the SANI process. This study indicated that it was possible to make use of the FGD effluent for applying the FGD–SANI process in treating freshwater-based sewage.

Dissolution rate of limestone for wet flue gas desulfurization in the presence of citric acid was measured by pH-stat method. It was found that limestone dissolution rate in the presence of citric acid was controlled by mass transfer. As can be seen from the experimental results, in the presence of citric acid, limestone dissolution rate increased with increasing stirring speed and reaction temperature. When pH value was greater than or equal to 5.5, due to the formation of calcium citrate, citric acid would inhibit the dissolution process of limestone. And the inhibition effect was more obvious at higher pH value.

A method was proposed to remove NOx and SO2 in flue gas by using the sulfinyl functional group as a catalyst. Ozone is introduced into the flue gas to oxidize NO. Soluble NO2 and SO2 reacted with ammonia to form ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate, which were the raw material of the compound fertilizer. A small pilot is built in a container that can be easily transported to power plant and extracts the actual flue gas directly from the gas duct. In order to obtain the best the SO2 and NOX removal efficiency in this experiment, many parameters were changed. Such as flue gas flow, ozone / NOX ratio, liquid-gas ratio, flue gas temperature, catalyst type, catalyst concentration, solution pH value. Results indicated that SO2 was cleaned up quite efficiently and the removal efficiency was nearly 99% under all conditions. the best NOX removal efficiency can reach 88%. The NOX removal efficiency depended primarily on ozone / NOX ratio, and the temperature of flue gas also had influence on the NOX removal efficiency. The optimum pH range is 5.6-6.3. After inspection by authoritative institutions, the quality of fertilizers is superior to national standards.

The essence of the research was to develop a correlation dependence between the degree of limestone grinding and the efficiency of boiler flue gas desulfurization. The design of the Installation of Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) in the slurry of ground limestone begins with the assumption (based on literature data or experience gained from previously completed and operated installations) of a certain pH value of this slurry in the reactor tank. The reagent is not yet indicated, its extraction location, its chemical composition, grain size and reactivity are not determined. Application practice and economics of these processes have shown that calcium reagents are the most advantageous in application because of the general availability of limestone, its large mining resources, existing infrastructure for its extraction, the network of suppliers and the purchase cost acceptable by the recipients. On a global scale, more than 90% of the flue gas desulfurization plant is treated with limestone [1]. The effectiveness of the desulfurization process is high, and some believe that the decisive influence is on the degree of limestone fragmentation dissolution rate of CaCO3 in the absorption slurry, its reactivity to absorbed SO2, the pH of the absorption slurry.
