Abstract
The Molten Carbonate Process for the removal of sulfur oxides from power plant stack gases has been evaluated. The purpose of the evaluation was to advise on the continued course of action regarding this process. The removal of sulfur oxides from an 800 MW power plant operated with coal containing 3% sulfur was selected as a base case. Alternate cases involving coal-burning power plants were included. Various copper smelter situations were also reviewed. Process and engineering problem areas were identified and potential solutions were examined. Cost estimates are given detail. The process converts recovered sulfur oxides successively to sulfides and H2S. (Author)
