USING LIME FOR FLUE GAS TREATMENT
Lime plays a key role in many air pollution control applications. Lime is used to remove acidic gases, particularly sulfur dioxide (SO2) and hydrogen chloride (HCl), from flue gases. Lime-based technology is also being evaluated for the removal of mercury.
Lime is more reactive than limestone, and requires less capital equipment. SO2 removal efficiencies using lime scrubbers range from 94 to 99 percent (at electric generating plants). HCl removal efficiencies usinglime range from 94 to 99 percent (at municipal waste-to-energy plants).
There are two main methods for the removal of acidic gases: dry scrubbing and wet scrubbing. Both methods are used for cleaning flue gases from the combustion of coal to produce electric power. Dry scrubbing is also used at municipal waste-to-energy plants and other industrial facilities, primarily for HCl control. Lime is used in both systems.
