PROCESS FOR REMOVAL OF PARTICULATES AND SO2 FROM GASSES

摘要

This invention relates to a process for removing particulate and SO2 pollutants from flue gases from a coal fired boiler (10). The process comprises the steps of removing particulates from the flue gas by means of an electrostatic precipitator (14) or a fabric filter; a sulphur reacting solvent material (17) is then injected into the flue gas (18) before filtering through a fabric filter (19) to remove the sulphur by-product and the unreacted sorbent material from the flue gas. The exhaust is then discharged (23) to a stack.
