SOx Emission and Its Control

Hydrosulphurization method

  • Effective method of desulphurizing coal and oil fuels.
  • This method treats fuels in the presence of hydrogen at high pressure and temperature.
  • Finely grounded coal is mixed with anthracene oil along with hydrogen to produce slurry.
  • The dissolved coal is passed through a pressure filtration unit in which pyretic sulphur is removed.
  • A flash evaporator is used to convert the dissolved coal to low sulphur coal.
