Objective
The project proposed is devoted to the removal of SO2 from flue gases resulting from coal based processes. It covers processes ranging from dry sorption through semi dry systems to wet scrubbing technologies and includes the addition of sorbents to the coal products themselves. It is applied to plant ranging from home heating appliances to industrial size facilities and large power generation sites. The project has four components.
a. The first component is aimed at the development of a honeycomb structured catalyst which converts significant quantities of SO2 to SO3
b. The aim of the second component is to develop at a pilot scale a duct sorbent injection process which will centre around (i) the pre collection of the fly ash, (ii) the use of enhanced quality (high surface area) sorbents, (iii) the partial recirculation of the sorbent, (iv) reactivation of the recycled sorbent and (v) the upgrading of the existing ESP.
c. The third component is aimed at the reduction of sulphur emissions in the flue gases from the burning of mineral solid fuels in domestic heating appliances.
d. The fourth component is aimed at the technical and economic optimisation two types of process in order that the European environmental standards will be achieved or surpassed. Specifically the two processes to be studied will be (i) conversion on solid catalytic materials to be regenerated at high temperatures and (ii) physico-chemical scrubbing in an appropriate liquid to be regenerated either thermally of chemically.
