New Method Captures SO3 in Industrial Off-Gas for Safer Environment.
The researchers developed a new method to measure acid dew point in industrial off-gas. They used a simple approach that captures SO3 gas on a solid trap, avoiding interference from SO2. The trap is dissolved in water for analysis. Isokinetic sampling was found to be not significantly different in results, indicating small acid droplets. This method shows promise for assessing acid dew point in industrial off-gas.
