In the flue gas desulfurization process of the coal-fired power plant, the grinding efficiencies of the limestone as the sorbent for desulfurization were compared after BWI and HGI measurements. As a result, the grinding index of the domestic desulfurization limestone were linear inversely proportional relationship with decreasing BWI was observed with increasing HGI. There was a difference in grinding efficiency depending on the chemical composition and crystal structure. Therefore, it is considered that when grinding ability of limestone is measured, the grinding property of the sample can be confirmed even by using HGI which can be measured more easily than BWI which is difficult to measure and takes a long time. The desulfurization efficiency can be improved by selective utilization of limestone depending on the crushing characteristics.
