Wet Flue Gas System Boosts Mercury Removal from Polluting Emissions
The wet flue gas desulfurization system was studied using Aspen Plus software to improve mercury removal from flue gas. Factors like liquid-gas ratio, inlet oxygen concentration, and pH level affect mercury and desulfurization efficiency. Increasing SO2 concentration boosts both efficiencies. However, higher flue gas and slurry temperatures reduce mercury removal efficiency.
