Discuss the impact that the tonnage of sulfur or sulfuric acid recovered from SO2 in flue gas
treatment would have upon the chemical industry if all coal- and oil-fired were required to use
such treatment processes.
Solution
YEs, definitely we must required to use FGD as sulfur dioxide enters the air mainly from
industrial processes and from the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels with a substantial sulfur (S)
content and represents a major source of air pollution. Sulfur dioxide is a colorless, corrosive gas
that has a bitter taste, but no smell at low levels. The share of SO2 emissions comes from the use
of coal and oil in fossil-fired power plants, in industrial combustion units, in small combustion
units in households, and in vehicles. Besides the concentration of SO2 in stack gases emitted by
steam generation plants is usually in the range of 800 to 6000 mg/Nm3, the volume of gases
produced by the utility industry worldwide results in the liberation of a large tonnage of sulfur
dioxide into the atmosphere.Sulfur dioxide is a chemical that can be dangerous in many ways. At
lower levels, sulfur dioxide has been found to be a corrosive irritant to eyes and skin. Sulfur
dioxide has been associated with a variety of respiratory diseases and increased mortality rates.
Inhalation of sulfur dioxide can cause increased airway resistance by constricting lung passages.
Sulfur dioxide is also one of the main ingredients in acid rain. Acid rain occurs when sulfur
dioxide or other gaseous chemicals, such as nitrogen oxides, are released into the air. These
gases ascend through the atmosphere, and when they reach upper cloud levels, they react with
water, oxygen, and sunlight.Various concentrations of sulfuric acid and nitric acid are then
produced. These acids mix with the condensed water vapor in the clouds and fall to the ground
with the water in various forms of precipitation. This precipitation with greater acidity is what is
known as acid rain. Acid rain is dangerous to many natural ecosystems; it can harm plants, sand,
make water undrinkable, and unlivable for many animals. The biggest producers of sulfur
dioxide emissions are electrical utilities that produce electricity through the burning of fossil
fuels.Sulfur dioxide emissions, from combustion installations using coal or HFO, can be reduced
by fuel desulfurization or by FGD, as well as by a combination of these two measures.
Flue gas desulfurization is an efficient method for the reduction of the sulfur dioxide emissions.2
Many processes are available in the market, such as (a) wet scrubbers, (b) spray dry scrubbers,
(c) sorbent injection, (d) regenerable processes, and (e) combined SO2/NOX removal processes
