Question: In a flue gas desulphurization process, a limestone ( C a C O 3 ) slurry with a solid concentration of 2 0 % is

In a flue gas desulphurization process, a limestone (CaCO3) slurry with a solid concentration of 20% is used. The flue gas flow rate is 30,000m3h, and the inlet SO2 concentration is 4000ppm. If the system achieves an SO2 removal efficiency of 90%, calculate the mass flow rate of limestone (in kgh) required for the process. [10 marks]
A power plant has a flue gas flow rate of 80,000m3h and an SO2 concentration of 5000ppm. The plant plans to install a dry scrubbing system using sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) as the sorbent. The required stoichiometric ratio (NaS) is 1.2. Calculate the mass flow rate of sodium bicarbonate (in kgh) required for achieving an SO2 removal efficiency of 80%.[10 marks]
