Brief description of desulfurization technologies and installations
More than 400 methods based on different chemical and physical principles are proposed to remove sulfur dioxide from flue gases:
- chemical binding with formation of the recoverable and unreclaimable wastes;
- selective sorption by solid substances (activated carbon, zeolites, resins) with the following regeneration of sorbents;
- selective liquid-phase sorption by specific organic liquids;
- conversion of sulfur dioxide to trioxide in the gas phase using catalysts or special electrical discharges;
- liquid-phase catalytic reduction of sulfur dioxide to elemental sulfur.
