The use of activated brown coal char slurry for the removal of sulphur dioxide from flue gas
- Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (Australia)
Slurry of activated brown coal char in water was used to remove sulphur dioxide (SO{sub 2}) from flue gases using a small slurry bed system with gas chromatograph analysis. Standard activated charcoal and brown coal char was also used in this study to remove SO{sub 2} from an air or nitrogen stream and their efficiency was compared with activated brown coal char. The results showed that the capacity of activated brown coal char to remove sulphur dioxide was much higher than the activated charcoal and brown coal char. Effects of particle size, temperature, and slurry density on the adsorptive capacity of activated brown coal char were also studied. The concepts of sulphuric acid production by continuous regeneration and recycling were also investigated.
