Natural gypsum has been used as a soil amendment in the United States. However, flue gas desulfurization (FGD)-gypsum has not traditionally been used for agricultural purpose although it has potential benefit as a soil amendment. To expand use of FGD-gypsum for agricultural purpose, the effect of FGD-gypsum on soil chemical properties was investigated in the field scales. Application rates for this study were 0 (control), 1.1, and 2.2 Mg ha-1 of FGD-gypsum. After two year application, the soil samples were taken to 110 cm depth and sub-sampled at 10 cm intervals. The heavy metal contents in FGD-gypsum were lower than ceiling levels allowed by regulations for land-applied biosolids. Soil pH was not largely affected by FGD-gypsum application. Although degree of calcium (Ca) saturation in surface horizons increases only slightly with respect to the control, there is a clear decrease in exchangeable aluminum (Al). FGD-gypsum clearly increases the soil electrical conductivity (EC) with increasing application rate. Water-soluble Ca and sulfate is increased with FGD-gypsum application and these ions moved to a depth of at least 80 cm after only 2 years. We conclude that surface application of FGD-gypsum can mitigate toxicity of Al and deficiency of Ca in subsoil of acid soil.

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 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).

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.

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.

배연탈황 기술은 화력발전소의 연소가스에서 발생하는 $SO_2$를 제거하는 기술이다. 발전소에서는 주로 석회석을 이용한 습식 배연탈황공정을 적용하고 있으나, 천연자원인 석회석의 고갈 및 높은 운전동력 소비 등의 문제로 석회석을 대체할 수 있는 흡수제 개발에 매진하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제철소에서 발생하는 석회석 슬러지를 흡수제로 적용하기 위해 석회석 슬러지의 입도분포에 따른 탈황성능을 검토하고자 하였다. 탈황효율 검토방법으로는 입도에 따른 석회석 슬러지의 물리 화학적 특성 검토 및 $SO_2$가스제거시험 등을 시행하였다.

화력발전소의 배연탈황공정에서 발생된 탈황석고의 용도확대 및 천연 무수석고의 대체 가능성을 조사하기 위하여 탈황석고로부터 건식 열처리법에 의한 무수석고의 제조특성 및 탈황 무수석고에 대하여 시멘트 및 콘크리트 2차 제품으로의 적용 특성을 조사하였다. 탈황석고로부터 Ⅱ형 무수석고의 상전이는 700$^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 완전히 종료되었고, 이러한 Ⅱ형 무수석고의 상전이 과정에서 입자크기의 변화 등을 확인할 수 있었다. 천연 무수석고와 탈황 이수석고로부터 제조된 무수석고는 화학성분 조성, 입자크기, 열적특성 등의 물성이 유사하였다. 무수석고를 시멘트나 콘크리트 2차 제품에 적용시킬 때 부식문제를 발생시킬 수 있는 황산기(SO$_4^{2-}$)의 용출실험 결과, 700$^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 열처리로 제조된 탈황 무수석고는 천연 무수석고에 비하여 황산기의 용출량이 약 50 wt.% 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었고, 소석회(Ca(OH)$_2$) 3 wt.%의 첨가에 의해 황산기의 용출량이 천연 무수석고에 비하여 약 70 wt.% 감소시킬 수 있었다. 탈황 무수석고를 시멘트 및 콘크리트 2차 제품에 적용시킨 결과, 압축강도 등의 물성이 천연무수석고에 비하여 동등 또는 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

발전소의 탈황에 사용되는 습식탈황장치에는 반응제로 석회석이 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 주로 사용되는 325mesh입도의 석회석과 함께, 저렴한 200mesh석회석의 탈황공정 특성에 관하여 조사하였다. 석회석의 용해도에 대해 입도별로 실험한 결과 석회석의 입도가 클수록 용해속도가 떨어지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 습식탈황 공정에서의 탈황율은 석회석 입도와는 상관없이 L/G비(Liquid/Gas ratio, $L/m^3$) 및 현탁액의 pH에 의해서 증감되었다. 탈황공정에서의 부산물로 발생하는 석고의 경우에는 입도가 작아짐에 따라, 그리고 pH가 낮아짐에 따라 순도는 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 두 가지 입도의 석회석을 일정분율씩 혼합하여 실험한 결과 그 혼합비에 비례하여 탈황율, 석고 순도, 석회석 이용율 등의 공정특성이 나타났다.

Jet Bubbling Reactors(JBRs) were operated for the removal of SO$_{x}$ in flue gases produced from many electric power plants. However, many JBR flue gas desulfurization (FGD) facility faced a decrease of SO$_{x}$ removal efficiency and an increase of scale problems with continuous operations. We increased alkalinity of the SO$_{2}$ absorbing medium by adding the dibasic acids (DBAs) to solve these problems more effectively. The SO$_{2}$ removal efficiency, the purity of CaCO$_{3}$ and COD of the wastewater was measured to identify the addition effects of DBAs (150, 200, 250, and 400 ppm) for 2hr in a day into the JBR attached to the large-scale power plants (400 MW$\times$3). Addition of the DBAs resulted in the improvement of the SO$_{2}$ removal efficiency from 2 to 5% and the purity of the gypsum from 1 to 2%; these improvement were due to the alkalinity increase of the absorbing medium and the reduction of a proportion of un-reacted CaCO$_{3}$, respectively. Also, the scale problems formed by un-reacted CaCO$_{3}$ inside the reaction zone of the JBR were substantially reduced. Even though the effluent COD of the wastewater slightly increased from 10~15 to 18~36 mg/l and the erosion problems in the injection pump and duct occurred, this method of increasing SO$_{2}$ removal efficiency by adding the DBAs could be considered as a profitable approach.ach.
