Detailed process descriptions and technical evaluations are given for the following twelve flue-gas desulfurization processes: (1) Westvaco Activated Carbon Process, (2) Shell/UOP Copper Oxide Adsorption Process, (3) Bergbau-Forschung/Foster Wheeler Dry Adsorption Process, (4) Atomics International Aqueous Carbonate Process, (5) Catalytic/IFP Ammonia Scrubbing Process, (6) Citrate/Phosphate Buffered Absorption Process, (7) Ammonia--Ammonium Bisulfate (ABS) Process, (8) Ionics Electrolytic Regeneration Process, (9) Wellman-Lord Sulfite Scrubbing Process, (10) Cat-Ox Catalytic Oxidation Process, (11) Magnesia Slurry Scrubbing Process and (12) Lime/Limestone Wet Scrubbing Process. Since several of the processes require an H/sub 2//CO reducing gas, a section includes various technical and economic considerations relating to four methods of H/sub 2//CO production: steam methane reforming, steam-naphtha reforming, coal gasification, and partial oxidation. The study basis specified that the processes be designed for sulfur production. However, it was felt that recent developments indicate a strong potential market for sulfuric acid exists in some areas which may result in sulfuric acid being the desired by-product although more difficult to store and ship. Therefore, a section discussing sulfur and sulfuric acid production was prepared. Technical and economic evaluation of calcium sulfite/sulfate regeneration for the Lime/Limestone Process is presented.
