Scrubbers process description

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...
