Aqueous scrubbing system

The dry product is primarily collected in cyclone collectors (a few bag houses still remain), sieved, and finally packaged in moisture barrier containers. The exit air from the dryer often has to be treated to meet local pollution control laws. While many of the older dryers use gas incineration, as energy costs have increased these incineration systems have become quite costly to operate. New dryer installations use scrubbing systems (e.g., aqueous/chemical sprays) to remove entrained solids and gaseous volatile flavors. 

Chemical scrubbing systems for SO/ absorption fall into two broad categories (a) Disposable systems and (b) regenerative systems. Typical of systems in use for a number of years are those that use an aqueous slurry of an insoluble caldum compound, which can be discarded after use. Disposable 02-removal systems use aqueous slurries of finely ground materials, such as lime, limestone or dolomite, to produce a mixture of insoluble sulfites and sulfates. On passing through the scrubber, S02 from the waste gas dissolves to form sulfurous acid S02 ... 

In one variation of this process that removes C02 from the gas stream, the aqueous scrubbing solution contains 40% K2C03 and is circulated at 118X1 in the absorber. The C02 is released in the stripper at atmospheric pressure by heating the solution to 230°C. An inhibitor generally is needed to reduce corrosion and stainless steel equipment is used in many places. This system is characterized by its low steam requirements and its compatibility with... 

In addition, the HCl content of oil decreased, moreover the off-gas scrubbing system, in which light oil was washed by NaOH aqueous solution, was out of operation NaOH consumption decreased, and process wastewater also decreased. Reactivity (pH in extracted water) of the oils was improved from acid (pH below 4.6) to natural (pH above 4.6). 

The off-gas treatment systems using dry (non-aqueous) cooling and treatment steps are commonly referred to as dry systems, as compared with wet systems that incorporate any of the wet (aqueous) steps. Systems using water or steam injection for partial temperature reduction without the scrubbing function, but otherwise containing dry process steps, are considered as dty systems. The wet... 

The dry off-gas treatment systems are simpler and more economical to operate. These systems may preferably be used if there are no specific reasons for the incorporation of wet scrubbers. The dry systems keep the off-gas temperature well above the dewpoint so that corrosion by acid gas condensation can be minimized. A dry system may be selected when processing tritiated wastes (subject to regulatory conditions and to tritium concentrations) since it will release tritium, together with the dry-filtered off-gas, into the envirotunent. This practice may present a lesser radiological hazard when compared with the aqueous scrubbing of tritium and the consequent need for the handling and conditioning of the tritiated scrub solutions. 

In view of the very satisfactory function of the aqueous flue gas scrubbing system of the first incineration plant, it was decided to equip the second disposal line also with scmbbers. As a novelty, the collected scrubbing waters will be evaporated to dryness. Hence, the second incineration plant will produce no waste waters. Eventually the salt residues will have to be deposited as toxic waste. 

While the use of low-sulfur fuels is one mechanism to reduce sulfur dioxide emission, alternatively most approaches focus on scrubbing or ridding the emissions in smoke stacks of sulfur dioxide gas. A number of different types of scrubbers, i.e., sulfur dioxide removal systems, are available for industry. One system sprays the flue gas into a liquid solution of sodium hydroxide. The hydroxide combines with SO2 and O2 to form the corresponding sulfate which can be removed from the aqueous solution ...

NO Absorption by Ammonia and 2-Aminoethanol Solutions. The best NO removal observed during the project occurred with concentrated aqueous ammonia (28 wt % NH3) as the scrubbing solution. Here 74% of the NO and 80% of the NO2 were absorbed. Table IV contains these results in addition to scrubbing data from a similar system, 2-aminoethanol.
