Economic Model Flue Gases

The sulfite oxidation rate in hold tanks of antipollution scrubbers is central to flue gas desulfurization technology. The accurate description of the rate of disappearance of sulfite slurry particles (from the scrubber liquor) bears upon both process selection and economics. This article will describe a mathematical model for a semi-batch, stirred tank reactor in which S(IV) anions, sulfite and bisulfite, are reacted with dissolved oxygen gas at saturation. Experimental work to secure several physical parameters and to verify the... 

Thirdly, the evaluation for CO2 capture should be conducted under a simulated or even an actual flue gas condition, rather than the most often used equilibrium CO2 sorption for the current studies. In our opinion, the international facilities in this field should create the benchmarking materials and further the prototypical materials column, which can be used for the evaluation of the CO2 capture performance of newly emerging capture materials on the same standards. Beyond these considerations, the engineering economics of the new materials must be evaluated upon the scale-up of the materials for industrial applications, and economic models must be established to cover lifecycle CO2 separation, capture, and sequestration costs for various technologies.
