METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSION CONTROL IN COMBUSTION SYSTEMS

摘要

A method and apparatus for burning fossil fuels containing a significant sulfur content which removes a significant portion of the sulfur oxides released to the atmosphere. The invention is characterized by the dispersal of a molten metal into a combustion chamber for intimate contact with the combustion products to combine with the sulfur compounds produced by the combustion reaction. The metal sulphide may then be collected and refined for recirculation and the sulfur dioxides collected for use or sale.
