Some examples are: Wet scrubbing using a slurry of alkaline sorbents, spraydry scrubbing, wet sulfuric acid process recovering sulfur in the form of commercial quality sulfuric acid; and dry sorbent injection systems. National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) is tackling the first series of limestone gypsum FGD systems in the Indian Market.
The invention provides various methods for removing gas phase pollutants by calcining limestone or dolomite using flash calcination to produce a high surface area lime or hydrated lime and directly adding the lime or hydrated lime to a gas stream containing gas phase pollutants. In other methods, the production of an activated sorbent, such as activated carbon, is combined with the production ...
The sorbents are characterized based on the CaCO3 content, particle size distribution of the parent sorbent, and a relative sulfation reactivity parameter [3]. Calcium utilization, in general, increases as the sorbents particle size decreases.
limestone/sorbent being utilised within the WFGD process. Eskom's WFGD units were initially designed with a high quality limestone input which is based on qualities generally associated with limestone sources located in the Northern Cape. If limestone/sorbents of lower quality is .
Reaction kinetics of steam hydration for four different limestone based sorbents was studied using high pressure thermogravimetric analysis. Elevated pressures ( atm) and high temperature ...

A novel method of reactivating the stone in humid, ambient air is described. Typically, a calcined limestone has a carrying capacity for CO2 which falls from ∼79% (on the basis of moles of CO2 per mole of CaO) to only about 20–30% after 30 cycles of regeneration and reuse.
Limestone and dolomite availability in the Ohio River Valley for sulfur sorbent use, with observations on obtaining reliable chemical analyses Author: David A Stith ; Illinois State Geological Survey.
lime is used as sorbent material instead of limestone. It is known that, the hydrated lime possesses higher desulfurization capacity than limestone due to its higher solubility and higher alkalinity in slurry and better reactivity with SO2 at low temperature (Ma et al., 2000; Özyuğuran et al., 2006).
Since 1936, Meckley's Limestone Products, Inc. in Herndon, Pennsylvania has been a leader in the limestone processing field, and has been providing pulverized sorbent to the power industry since CFB technology was introduced in the United States in 1982.
Also included in studies are superreactivity limestone sorbent synthesis, and multifunctional sorbents for removal of SO2/NOx, As, Se, etc. Another recent pilot scale demonstration, the CARBONOX process, was performed at University of North Dakota's Energy and Environmental Research Center.
The combination of limestone calcination, catalytic methane reforming, and combustion in a membrane reactor is simulated as a possible means to achieve autothermal and hydrogenproducing sorbent regeneration for calciumlooping technology.

Feb 15, 2014· Following repeated cycles of calcination and carbonation, sorbent particles undergo thermal sintering/deactivation [4,5] and must be purged (typically, from the calciner) and replaced with fresh limestone. The CaL technology has been under investigation for several years [1–8], and the economics of the process can
limestone sorbent as a raw material for making cement can have a very favorable effect not only on the economics of the CaLFB process, but also on the cement manufacture in terms of (i) reduced generation of carbon dioxide and pollutants, (ii) saving of raw materials and fuel, (iii) decreased flow rate of gaseous emissions. Introduction
The desorption efficiency is determined by injecting a known amount of sample onto the sorbent, desorbing it and analysing the amount recovered.
Limestone has many other uses. Powdered limestone is used as filler in paper, paint, rubber, and plastics. Crushed limestone is used as a filter stone in onsite sewage disposal systems. Powdered limestone is also used as a sorbent (a substance that absorbs pollutants) at many coalburning facilities.
2. The limebased recycle pumps are significantly smaller than limestone sorbent pumps. This will result in significantly lower power usage and a reduction in capital cost over a limestone system of 1,400,000. 3. The ball mills (one operating and one spare) are 84% smaller for the lime design resulting in 1,800,000 capital savings. 4.
FGD chemistry. Therefore, the most common largescale FGD systems use an alkaline sorbent such as lime or limestone to neutralize and remove the SO 2 from the flue gas. Since lime and limestone are not soluble in water, they are used either in the form of an aqueous slurry or in a dry, powdered form.
