Similarities between lime and limestone in wet—dry scrubbing
(1984) In Chemical Engineering and Processing 18(5). p.239-247- Abstract
- Lime is utilized as a sorbent in most commercial wet—dry scrubbing processes for SO2 control, while limestone is not considered to be sufficiently reactive for such a purpose. Faced with the fact that limestone is potentially the least expensive sorbent for SO2 control, a study was conducted to uncover ways to increase the reactivity of this sorbent in order to use it in wet—dry scrubbing applications. The study was focused on a comparison of the reactivity of lime and limestone during the dry reaction period. The conditions which have a major impact on the reactivity include the sorption capacity of water vapour, the BET surface area, the relative humidity and the sorbent utilization. The experiments revealed several similarities between... (More)
