Assessment of the Impact of Modification of Calcium Sorbents and the Possibility of Their Use in Desulfurization for Oxy-Fuel Combustion Process
The paper describes the possibilities of simple and effective modification of calcium sorbents used for flue gas desulfurization with a size between of 125–250 µm. The additives to the sorbents in the amount of 0.5% and 1.0% were inorganic sodium and lithium compounds. The research on the reactivity...
