Title: Ninth symposium on flue gas desulfurization: proceedings. Volume 1

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6174324

These proceedings are of the Ninth Symposium on Flue Gas Desulfurization, held June 4 to 7, 1985, at the Netherland Plaza Hotel in Cincinnati, Ohio. The symposium was cosponsored by EPA's Air and Energy Engineering Research Laboratory (formerly Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory), located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, and by EPRI's Coal Combustion Systems Division, located in Palo Alto, California. The meeting served as a forum for the exchange of technical and regulatory information and developments regarding systems and processes applicable to utility and industrial boilers. Addresses at the opening session (1) compared regional declines of forests in Europe with those of North America and the possible role of airborne chemicals in these declines, (2) examined the current legislative/regulatory situation, and (3) presented results of a study of the economics of FGD systems in a variety of SO/sub 2/ reduction strategies for coal-fired power plants. Subsequent technical sessions dealt with the commercial status of FGD in Europe, Japan, and the US, limestone FGD/organic acid enhancement, FGD reliability improvement, chemistry/reagent preparation, materials of construction, retrofitting technologies for acid deposition control (panel discussion), and dual alkali FGD, emerging technologies, spray dryer FGD, and FGD by-product disposal/utilization. These proceedings include all of the technical papers presented at the symposium and most of the other presentations. In addition, 8 unpresented technical papers are included. Volume one contains twenty four papers which have been processed for inclusion in the Energy Data Base.
