Flue Gas Desulfurization Processes. The process of FGD is designed to absorb the sulfur dioxide in the flue gas before it is released. This is accomplished through either a wet or a dry process. Dry FGD. In the process of dry scrubbing injection systems, lime is used as a reagent to react and remove gaseous pollutants.

of the medium-temperature desulfurization process. Kinetics are an important consideration in the design of the desulfurization unit of a power plant and henceforth will be the subject of the present study. Kinetic parameters like SO2 breakthrough time, total lime conversion, sulfur yield and sulfur selectivity are chosen as performance indicators.

The lime in the KR process is used more efficiently, which means less lime is needed and lime of a lower (thus cheaper) quality can be used. The stirring however also means that the hot metal needs to be skimmed prior to desulphurization as well, in order to remove high SiO2 containing slag from the BF, which decreases the efficiency of the lime.
