Flue Gas Desulfurization
ACS Symposium Series No. 188 John L. Hudson, Editor University of Virginia Gary T. Rochelle, Editor University of Texas at Austin Based on a symposium sponsored by the Division of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry of the American Chemical Society. A unique collection of fundamental work on flue gas desulfurization pro cesses This 18-chapter volume presents current research that provides the foundation for a quantitative understanding of the flue gas desulfurization processes. Five chap ters report the initial results of fundamen tal chemistry projects supported by the Department of Energy. Rate processes and innovations in throwaway slurry scrubbing aredealt with in eight chapters, while four chapters discuss alternatives to throwaway slurry scrubbing. Chemical and mechanical engineers and chemists engaged in development, de sign, and operation of flue gas desulfuri zation will want to add this valuable vol ume to their reference collection.
