[ $Mg(OH)_2$ ]slurry was prepared by using natural mineral brucite exploited from Liaoning province in China, and its de-SOx efficiency was examined. The effect of difference in particle size distribution of brucite and activation by hydrothermal treatment were investigated. The de-$SO_2$ efficiency of a finely-milled brucite sample below 1000 mesh with narrow particle size distribution was higher than that of the sample below 80 mesh. On the other hand, the de-$SO_2$ efficiency of brucite sample below 80 meshes was significantly improved by the hydrothermal treatment at 363 K tor 3 h.

Reaction characteristics of simultaneous removal of SOx and NOx have been investigated in a thermogravimetric analyzer and tubular fixed bed reactor using the $CuO/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ sorbent/catalyst. Sulfur removal capacity of $CuO/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ sorbent/catalyst is largely enhanced above both the temperature of $450^{\circ}C$ and the loading of 6wt% due to the participation of alumina support in a sulfation reaction. The NO reduction efficiency of 8wt% $CuO/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ sorbent/catalyst shows the maximum value at $370^{\circ}C$ and then decreases with the increase of reaction temperature due to the oxidation of $NH_3$ gas. The presence of sulfate on the surface of sorbent/catalyst enhances the optimum reaction temperature showing the maximum deNOx efficiency. In the simultaneous removal of SOx and NOx at $250^{\circ}C$. deNOx activity of $CuO/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ sorbent/catalyst is rapidly decreased due to the formation of ammonium salts such as $NH_4HSO_4$. In the simultaneous removal reaction of SOx and NOx, the optimum temperature showing the maximum deNOx efficiency increases to $400^{\circ}C$ due to the presence of $SO_2$ gas.

Tests of pilot-scale plasma DeSOx-DeNOx system using pulsed streamer corona were carried out. The system consists of the reactor with wire-plate electrodes the $30kW_{max}$. MPC type pulse generator, and $1MW_{th}$ pulverized coal combustor as a flue gas source. $NH_3$ and $C_2H_4$ were used to enhance the removal rate. The experimental result on the removal efficiency of SOx/NOx and on the effect of the additives was presented in this paper.

In this paper, we investigated the post-combustion removal of nitrogen oxide($NO_x$) and sulfur oxide($SO_x$) which is based on the gas to particle conversion process by the pulsed corona discharge. Under normal pressure, the pulsed corona discharge produces the energetic free electrons which dissociate gas molecules to form the active radicals. These radicals cause the chemical reactions that convert $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ into acid mists and these mists react with $NH_3$ to form solid particles. Those particles can be removed from the gas stream by conventional devices such as electrostatic precipitator or bag filter. The reactor geometry was coaxial with an inner wire discharge electrode and an outer ground electrode wrapped on a glass tube. The simulated flue gas with $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ was used in the experiment. The corona discharge reactor was more efficient in removing $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ by adding $NH_3$ and $H_2O$ in the gas stream. We also measured the removal efficiency of $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ in a cylinder type corona discharge reactor and obtained more than 90 % of removal efficiency in these experimental conditions. The effects of process variables such as the inlet concentrations of $SO_x$, $NH_3$ and $H_2O$, residence time, pulse frequencies and applied voltages were investigated.

The pulsed poser system has been widely used to many applications, such as E/P(Electrostatic Precipitator), DeNox/DeSOx power system, ozon generator, etc. A pulse energy efficiency for load depends on the rising time, peak value, pulse duration and impedance matching, etc. The pulse generator generally required for short pusle duration and high peak value was forced to consider its volume and economy. In this study, developing a compact pulse generator that applied for cascading method to be made of two pulse transformers, we compared cascading voltage with non cascading one by applying the pulse energy to load. Adopting cascading technique to pulse transformer, we found that average cascading voltage was about 60[%] of theoretical value. Maximum cascading ratio was calculated at 60 times compared with non cascading voltage.

Recently the pulsed power systems have been widely used in many fields such as E/P(Electrostatic Precipitator), DeNOx/DeSOx power systems, ozone generators and power sources of the laser beam. In this paper, we studied various electrical characteristics for arc suppression of line-to-line electrodes in air and removal of the metaloxide using our pulsed power system. To obtain high efficiency of the pulsed power system, we repeatedly experimented and tested their characteristics. by adjusting electrode length of the load. As a result, when the value of the electrode length and pulse repetition rate were changed at the load, the value of the arc voltage changed at the electrode load. In conclusion, we controlled arc voltage of the load by ,changing electrode length and pulse repetition rate. Also. we stydied removal area of the metaloxide using area discharge according to pulse repetition rate.

Limestone has been used as absorbent in the FGD(Flue Gas Desulfurization) system, the DeSOx system of thermal power plant. This study investigated the desulfurization characteristics of the two different limestones, 325mesh and 200mesh particle size. Experimental analysis showed that the dissolving rate of limestone became much slower as the particle size increased. But the desulfurization efficiency depended on the L/G(liquid/gas) ratio and slurry pH regardless of the limestone particle size. The quality of gypsum produced in the FGD process increased as the limestone particle size or the slurry pH decreased. To reduce the cost of absorbent, the mixed limestone which were composed of 200 and 325mesh limestone with 5 different ratios were tested.

Flue gas desulfurization(FGD) is an effective technique to remove $SO_2$ gases of coal-fired plants. Limestone is usually used as desulfurizing agent. In this study, we use the limestone sludge which is a by-product of steel industry in order to replace desulfurizing agent of FGD process. Physical and chemical characteristics analysis of desulfurizing agent was conducted. Desulfurizing agent using limestone sludge was fabricated by pre-treatment process and, then the agent was used on FGD process. Consequently, the tendency on the $SO_2$ concentration did not appear. And limestone sludge was considered as possible alternative agent for flue gas desulfurization process through absorber control system.
