Introduction to magnesium-enhanced lime flue gas desulfurization: Videotape workbook

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7145359
This workbook presents an introduction to the chemistry involved in a magnesium-enhanced lime FGD system. It covers the factors affecting the efficiency of magnesium-enhanced lime FGD system operation, emphasizing how an undestanding of the chemistry will help avoid some common problems. The ways in which ion activity and dissolved alkalinity affect sulfur dioxide removal, how relative saturations influence solids formation, and the importance of lime preparation all are explained. This tape is an introduction only; future tapes will cover lime/limestone FGD performance indicators and troubleshooting in more detail.
