Active absorbent for flue gas desulfurization was prepared from coal fly ash, calcium oxide (CaO) and calcium sulfate (CaSO4 ) by hydro-thermal process; steam and water hydration. The absorbents were examined and compared for its micro-structural properties. The experiments were conducted based on Design of Experiments (DOE) according to 24 factorial design. The effect of various absorbent preparation variables such as hydration period (Factor A), ratio of CaO to fly ash (Factor B), amount of calcium sulfate used (Factor C) and drying temperature (Factor D) towards the BET surface area of the absorbent were studied. The BET surface area of the absorbent was in the range of 12.9-169.3 m2/g. Fisher’s test showed that there is a strong influence of factor A, B and D towards the absorbent surface area, while its dependence on factor C is negligible. Comparison between absorbents prepared from water and steam hydration showed that the BET surface area of absorbents prepared from water hydration gives a higher surface area, but at a lower rate. The optimum BET surface area for the prepared absorbent 169.3 m 2 /g, was obtained at the following absorbent preparation variables using water hydration; hydration period of 24 hours, ratio of CaO to fly ash of 1:2, CaSO4 amount of 3 g and drying temperature of 200°C.

Wet flue gas desulphurization (FGD) is a crucial technology which can be used to abate the emission of sulphur dioxide in coal power plants. The dissolution of coal fly ash in adipic acid is investigated by varying acid concentration (0.05-0.15M), particle size (45- 150?m), pH (5.5-7.0), temperature (318-363K) and solid to liquid ratio (5-15 wt %.) over a period of 60 minutes which is a crucial step in wet (FGD). Characterization of the sorbent was done using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Furrier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Branauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area. BET surface area results showed an increase in the specific surface area and SEM observation indicated a porous structure was formed after dissolution. The experimental data was analyzed using the shrinking core model and the diffusion through the product layer was found to be the rate limiting step. The activation energy for the process was calculated to be 10.64kJ/mol.
