Abstract
A mathematical model of ammonia-based wet flue gas desulfurization process was developed based on the double film theory. The calculated results of the desulfurization system for two 220 t·h−1 boilers per unit by this model were compared to that of corresponding measured data. It was found that the calculated results agree well with the measured data for the operating conditions of pH, liquid/gas ratio and SO2 concentration. This model can provide predictions of the absorption performance of an ammonia-based wet flue gas desulfurization process and appears to be helpful for designing scrubbers for SO2 absorption with ammonia absorbent.
