There are four common FGD techniques: wet scrubbers, spray dry scrubbers, sorbent injection, and regenerable processes (Córdoba, 2015). Among them, wet limestone desulfurization accounts for more than 90% of FGD processes in China because of its high efficiency and low cost (Gude, 2015; Lu et al., 2017). Desulfurization wastewater from ...

The Ni …

A new wet limestone−gypsum process for flue gas desulfurization (FGD) has been developed. The main difference compared to a conventional wet FGD process is the ability of the new process to utilize granular limestone directly as a desulfurizing reagent. Thus, the pulverizing of limestone, which causes power consumption, can be …

The FGD process is designed to capture and remove SO2 from flue gases produced during the combustion of fossil fuels. The FGD process involves various methods, with wet scrubbers and dry scrubbers being the two primary approaches. Wet scrubbers utilize a liquid sorbent, typically limestone slurry, to react with the SO2 in the …

FGD Gypsum Production Process. Mineralogically identical to natural gypsum, FGD gypsum, or synthetic gypsum, is produced from gas captured within emission control systems at coal fired electric utilities. An emission that would compromise air quality, sulfur dioxide (SO 2) gas, is the primary contribution coal makes to FGD gypsum.
