Consider the following:
How many of the above given methods are used for Flue Gas Desulphurisation?
A: Only one
B: Only two
C: Only three
D: All four
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
FGD methods, including wet scrubbing, spray-dry scrubbing, wet sulfuric acid process, SNOX Flue gas desulfurization, and dry sorbent injection systems, are utilized to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from industrial emissions. Wet scrubbing employs alkaline sorbents in a slurry, while spray-dry scrubbing atomizes sorbent slurry into fine droplets for effective SO2 removal. The wet sulfuric acid process recovers sulfur as commercial quality sulfuric acid, and SNOX integrates SCR for NOx removal with wet scrubbing. Dry sorbent injection systems introduce powdered sorbents directly into exhaust ducts for efficient SO2 and SO3 removal.
