This study was performed to develop the modified FGD(Flue Gas Desulfurization) process which can eliminate the possibility of generating secondary pollutants. Limestone was regenerated by adding ammonium hydroxide and carbon dioxide, and reusing it as a absorbent in FGD gypsum Process. A series of the new or modified FGD process which include desulfurization and regeneration limestone from CaSO$_3$. 1/2H20 and CaSO4 . 2H2O, were carried out under various experimental conditions. The results showed that the optimum injection ratio for regeneration of limestone was 0.3 ml/min of CO2 flow rate, 2 ml of NH4OH per 0.01 M of regent grade CaSO4 . 2H20O and the optimum regeneration temperature was 50. The increaser was the number of times of limestone regeneration, the faster was the breakthrough point of desulfurization at the desulfurination process which the regenerated limestone was used. Then the efficiency of desulrurization was decreased. This study can be confirmed the possibility for reuse of regenerated limestone due to the similarity of desulfurization characteries both reagent grade calcium carbonate and regenerated calcium carbonate. Finally, it appeared that the new technology using regenerated 1imestone can be applied to the FGD process.

For the purpose of reducing the amount of limestone, which is used as a desulfurization agent to absorbing $SO_X$ gas in thermal power plants, and to recycle limestone sludge generated from a steel mill, limestone sludge was utilized as a desulfurization agent. In this study, cement, made of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum obtained in a desulfurization process using limestone sludge, was manufactured then, experiments were conducted to identify the physical properties of the paste and mortar using the cement. The results of the crystal phase and microstructure analyses showed that the hydration product of the manufactured cement was similar to that of ordinary Portland cement. No significant decline of workability or compressive strength was observed for any of the specimens. From the results of the experiment, it was determined that FGD gypsum manufactured from limestone sludge did not influence the physical properties of the cement also, quality change did not occur with the use of limestone sludge in the flue gas desulfurization process.

The trend of international concerns on environmental conservation and domestic demand of ambient air quality improvement, specially on sulfur dioxide level has resulted in the establishment of mid-term strategy of environmental improvement and stepwise strengthening of emission regulations in this decade in Korea. Development of flue gas desulfurization(FGD) process is becoming an essential task to be accomplished especially for the power plants and large industrial facilities. This study is an initial stage researc focusing on the mass transfer principles in wet type FGD process and the effects of operating variables of a jet bubbling scrubber utilizing limestone slurry on sulfur dioxide removal efficiency. Experimental results showed this type of scrubbing system has some advantages in terms of mass transfer mechanism and removal efficiency. More rigorous research is needed for the reaction system and the comparison with existing FGD processess for the possible development of a process which is compatative in view of installation cost and treatment of by-products.

The flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process is currently the most effective process utilized to remove sulfur dioxide from stack gases of coal-fired plants. However, FGD systems use a lot of limestone as desulfurizing agent. In this study, we use limestone sludge, which is a by-product of the steel industry, to replace the desulfurizing agent of the FGD system. The limestone particle size is found to be unrelated to the desulfurizing rate; the gypsum purity, however, is related. Limestone sludge mixes with limestone slurry delivered at a constant rate in a desulfurizing agent with organic acid are expected to lead to a high desulfurization efficiency and high quality by-product (gypsum).

배연탈황기술은 화력발전소에 발생하는 $SO_2$ 가스를 제거하기 위한 효과적인 방법이며, 흡수제로 석회석을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 천연자원인 석회석의 사용량을 저감하고 산업 폐기물의 재활용을 위해, 제철소에서 발생하는 석회석 슬러지를 흡수제로 사용하고자 하였다. 흡수제 원료의 물리 화학적 특성분석을 실시하였으며, 전처리 설비를 구축하여 석회석 슬러지를 사용한 흡수제를 제조한 후 배연탈황 공정에 적용하였다. 제조 흡수제 적용 결과, $SO_2$ 농도 변화상에서의 경향성은 나타나지 않았으며, 흡수탑에서의 운전 제어를 통해 석회석 슬러지를 흡수제로 사용 가능할 것으로 사료되었다.

The flue gas desulfurization (FGD) process is one of the most effective methods to reduce the amount of $SO_2$ gas (up to 90%) generated by the use of fossil fuel. Limestone is usually used as a desulfurizing agent in the wet-type FGD process; however, the limestone reserves of domestic mines have become exhausted. In this study, limestone sludge produced from the steel works process is used as a desulfurizing agent. Seven different types of additives are also used to improve the efficiency of the desulfurization process. As a result, alkaline additive is identified as the least effective additive, while certain types of organic acids show higher efficiency. It is also observed that the amount of FGD gypsum, which is a by-product of the FGD process, increases with the used of some of those additives.

동해-삼척지역 석회석을 활용하여 습식배연탈황공정기술에 대한 적용성을 검토하기 위해 석회석의 물리화학적 특성이 탈황성능에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 실험은 ASTM 표준 시험방법인 염산적정법을 적용한 실험실 규모의 실험 장치를 이용하여 총중화능력을 측정하였다. 실험결과 총중화능력은 CaO 함량 등의 화학성분 보다 입자크기의 물리적 특성에 더 큰 영향이 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 입자크기가 미립화 될수록 총중화능력의 값은 높아지는 것으로 확인되었다.

Korea Institute of Energy Research(KIER) has designed the 3MW pilot scale wet FGD process based on the experimental results of the bench scale FGD system which can treat 150 m3/hr of flue gases. The effects of process chemistry, packing material, and operating variables including L/G ratio, pH, scrubber pressure drop were investigated. In cooperation with Kyunggi Chemicals, the 3MW pilot scale plant was established on the industrial site at Onsan, Korea. This system has been operating since October 1999. This paper introduces an outline of the design features of the pilot plant and discusses its operational results.

The organic linings at flue gas desulfurization systems (FGD system) in power plant have the excellent chemical properties but, lose the anticorrosive properties according to the aging with environment conditions. The properties of the organic linings depend on the manufacturing company. Therefore, the basic properties of organic linings for the preestimate of life time should be examined by conducting the aging and the bond strength test according to temperature. The pre-aging samples were compared with the post-aging samples. The temperature conditions of the aging process were 70, 150 and $200^{\circ}C$. The bond strength was calculated and the cross sections of fracture surface were examined by optical microscope and SEM. The $T_g$ was examined by DSC, DTA and TGA.

Fossil fired power plant produces the electric energy by using a thermal energy by the combustion of fossil fuels as like oil, gas and coal. The exhausted flue gas by the combustion of oil etc. contains usually many contaminated species, and especially sulfur-content has been controlled strictly and then FGD (Flue Gas Desulfurization) facility should be installed in every fossil fired power plant. To minimize the content of contaminations in final exhaust gas, high corrosive environment including sulfuric acid (it was formed during the process which $SO_2$ gas combined with $Mg(OH)_2$ solution) can be formed in cooling zone of FGD facility and severe corrosion damage is reported in this zone. These conditions are formed when duct materials are immersed in fluid that flows on the duct floors or when exhausted gas is condensed into thin layered medium and contacts with materials of the duct walls and roofs. These environments make troublesome corrosion and air pollution problems that are occurred from the leakage of those ducts. The frequent shut down and repairing works of the FGD systems also demand costs and low efficiencies of those facilities. In general, high corrosion resistant materials have been used to solve this problem. However, corrosion problems have severely occurred in a cooling zone even though high corrosion resistant materials were used. In this work, a new technology has been proposed to solve the corrosion problem in the cooling zone of FGD facility. This electrochemical protection system contains cathodic protection method and protection by coating film, and remote monitoring-control system.
