Method of producing calcium sulfate dihydrate in connection with the desulfurization of flue gases

摘要

A scrubber for flue gases from a fossil-fired power plant in which calcium sulfate dihydrate is produced by recirculating the scrubbing water suspension containing lime and introducing oxygen into the sump collection, has a discontinuously operated pump which withdraws the suspension for recovering of the solid product only discontinuously so as to maintain the solids concentration between 40 and 130 g/l.
