SO 2 removal in a limestone forced oxidized (LSFO) wet scrubber is controlled by how much SO 2 can be absorbed per unit volume of recirculated slurry (lb SO 2 per gallon, or kg per liter). This is referred to as absorption. SO 2 absorption is limited by the amount of solid and liquid phase alkalinity provided in each gallon of slurry. The absorption is also a …

In wet lime scrubbing, lime is added to water and the resulting slurry is sprayed into a flue gas scrubber. In a typical system, the gas to be cleaned enters the bottom of a cylinder-like tower and flows upward through a shower of lime slurry. The sulfur dioxide is absorbed into the spray and then precipitated as wet calcium sulfite.
