IMPROVED DRY SULFUR DIOXIDE ( SO2 ) SCRUBBING FROM FLUE GAS

摘要

A system (300) for removing sulfur dioxide (SO2) from SO2 laden flue gas resulting from the burning of fossil fuel, includes an absorber (314) and first and second separators (350), (316). The absorber captures SO2 from a flow of the S02 laden flue gas (312) with a sorbent. The first separator (350) separates a first portion (312b) of the sorbent with captured S02 both from a second portion (312c) of the sorbent with captured S02 and from the flue gas (312). The second separator (316) separates the second portion (312c) of sorbent from the flue gas (312 e).
