Abstract
Desulfurization of flue gases from various chemical industries in a techno-econo-enviro manner is a demanding technology. The concentrations of sulfur dioxide in and around these plants overshoot the danger point. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made for wet flue gas desulfurization using water as the absorbing medium in a newly developed scrubber. Prediction of SO 2 removal efficiency is very important for selection of pollution control equipment. The present paper reports on both the modeling and detailed experimental investigations on the scrubbing of SO 2 in the modified multi-stage bubble column scrubber (MMSBCS) using water. Experimental results show that almost 100% removal efficiency of SO 2, can be achieved in the present system without additives or pre-treatment. A comparison has been made between the predicted and experimental percentage removal efficiency of SO 2. Experimental results are in excellent agreement with the predicted values from the model.
