Abstract
The environmental impacts of five most advanced and promising stack gas desulfurization processes are examined. Limestone slurry scrubbing, lime slurry scrubbing, magnesia slurry scrubbing (regeneration to sulfuric acid sodium solution), sulfur dioxide reduction to sulfur, and catalytic oxidation are investigated. Lime slurry scrubbing generates the greatest quantity of pollutants and wastes, and catalytic oxidation the least. An attempt is made to assess the external costs of the control processes. Catalytic oxidation is the best process when external costs are added to operating cost.
