SUMMARY REPORT: SULFUR OXIDES CONTROL TECHNOLOGY SERIES: FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION - SPRAY DRYER PROCESS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/625/8-82/009 (NTIS PB92150358), 1982.

Description:

Described spray dryer flue gas desulfurization (FGD), which is a throwaway process in which sulfur dioxide (SO2) is removed from flue gas by an atomized lime slurry [Ca(OH)2]. he hot flue gas dries the droplets to form a dry waste product, while the absorbent reacts with sulfur dioxide in the flue gas. ry waste solids are collected in a fabric fitter (baghouse) or electrostatic precipitator (ESP) and are typically disposed of by landfill. Descriptions of the process as well as its advantages and costs are included in the report.
