[A method of desulfurization with calcium sulfite and it's mechanism]

Directing to the scaling problem lying in wet desulfurization with lime slurry, a method of desulfurization with calcium sulfite was proposed. Reaction mechanism and the effects of different conditions on desulfurization efficiency were studied. The optimum conditions were obtained, i.e. air velocity of 2.75 m/s in empty tower, L/G = 3.0 L/m3, solid content 6.7%, air temperature 31 degrees C, concentration inlet of SO2 1500 x 10(-6) and inlet suspension pH of 8.0. Under the conditions, the desulfurization efficiency was about 87%. The presented method theoretically and practically solved the scaling problems, which is a novel indirect lime-method with Ca-contained material as desulfurization agent.
