Reducing sulfur oxide content of exhaust gas generated by burning fuel, comprises contacting gas with green liquor sludge from sulfate pulp cooking process

摘要

Sulfur is removed from exhaust gases generated by burning fuel by contacting the gas with a green liquor sludge obtained from a sulfate cooking process. An agent for removing sulfur from exhaust gases comprises green liquor sediment or sludge obtained from a sulfate pulp cooking process. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) Method for removing sulfur from exhaust gases generated by burning sulfur-containing fuels in an oven by contacting the gas with this agent; and (2) Use of this agent for reducing the amount of sulfur oxides (SOx) in exhaust gases generated by burning sulfur-containing fuels.
