Exhaust flue gas is drawn from the boiler and forced into an absorber tower by a booster fan. Once inside the absorber tower, the gas flows upwards through a dense shower of lime or limestone slurry. The slurry absorbs the Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) in the flue gas. The absorption process converts the lime/limestone into Calcium Sulfite.
Gypsum has been used in agriculture for centuries to provide plant nutrients, improve soil physical and chemical properties, and increase crop productivity (Watts and Dick, 2014). Recently flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate, CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O) has become widely available. In 2010, approximately 52.3 million tons …
