Sulfite removal from flue-gas desulfurization residues of coal-fired power plants: Oxidation experiments and kinetic parameters estimation

Semi-dry flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) processes abate 99% of atmospheric emissions of sulfur dioxide from coal-fired power plants at the expense of producing daily tones of solid FGD residues containing sulfites, sulfates, carbonates and hydroxides of calcium and magnesium, besides fly-ashes. In t...
