Sulfur Dioxide Removal

A new wet FGD process in which sulfur dioxide was absorbed in the bubble reactor using granular limestone simultaneously adding acetic acid had been proposed. The main difference compared to conventional wet FGD process was the ability of the new process to utilize granular limestone directly as a desulphurization reagent simultaneously adding acetic acid. Thus, the pulverizing of limestone, which causes power consumption, can be saved. Only using granular limestone directly as absorbent without acetic acid, SO2 removal efficiency and limestone utilization were too low. Adding some concentration of acetic acid, the performance of the new wet FGD process was confirmed to be equal to or higher than that of a conventional process in various tests. Various parameters of the new FGD process which would affect the sulfur dioxide removal efficiency and limestone utilization were studied.

Desulfurization Process

The biggest challenge faced in oil refineries is the removal of sulfur compounds in fuel oil. The sulfur compounds which are found in fuel oil such as gasoline and diesel, react with oxygen in the atmosphere to produce sulfur oxide (SOx) gases when combusted. These sulfur compounds produced from the reaction with oxygen in the atmosphere may result in various health problems and environmental effects. Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is the conventional process used to remove sulfur compounds from fuel oil. However, the high operating conditions required for this process and its inefficiency in removing the organosulfur compounds turn to be the major drawbacks of this system. Researchers have also studied several alternatives to remove sulfur from fuel oil. The use of ionic liquids (ILs) has also drawn the interest of researchers to incorporate them in the desulfurization process. The environmental effects resulting from the use of these ILs can be eliminated using eutectic-based ionic liquids (EILs), which are known as greener solvents. In this research, a combination of extractive desulfurization (EDS) and oxidative desulfurization (ODS) using a photocatalyst and EIL was studied. The photocatalyst used is a pre-reported catalyst, Cu-Fe/TiO2 and the EIL were synthesized by mixing choline chloride (ChCl) with organic acids. The acids used for the EILs were propionic acid (PA) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (TSA). The EILs synthesized were characterized using thermogravimetry analyser (TGA) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis to determine the physical properties of the EILs. Based on the TGA analysis, ChCl (1): PA (3) obtained the highest thermal stability whereas, as for the DSC analysis, all synthesized EILs have a lower melting point than its pure component. Further evaluation on the best EIL for the desulfurization process was carried out in a photo-reactor under UV light in the presence of Cu-Fe/TiO2 photocatalyst and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Once the oxidation and extraction process were completed, the oil phase of the mixture was analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the sulfur removal efficiency. In terms of the desulfurization efficiency, the EIL of ChCl (1): TSA (2) showed a removal efficiency of about 99.07%.

Recommended Level

Removal of heavy metal contaminants from sewage sludge is a necessity before it is used as an agricultural fertilizer (biosolid), due to environmental concerns and municipal, provincial and federal regulations. The bioleaching method is recommended as an economical and effective process for the removal of heavy metals from the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant (ABTP) sludge, some of them with concentrations exceeding the recommended level by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs guidelines. The Gram-negative thiobacilli is a group of organisms with physiological and morphological similarity and grows by oxidizing ferrous ion and reduced sulphur compounds. One species of thiobacillus, T. ferrooxidan , was recommended as an effective bacterium for the heavy metal removal from sewage sludge. This research involved the incubation of adapted sludge using fresh raw digested sludge and activated sludge of ABTP. Using adapted sludge for the bioleaching process, the method was tested in a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) in combination with a series of jar tests. Results showed that the metal removal efficiency increases with decreasing pH, and the solids content does not affect the removal efficiency of cupper and zinc very much during short term jar test. The results from the long-term (20-day) CSTR test demonstrated that the high T ferrooxians-contained adapted sludge could remove copper from the sewage sludge of ABTP very effectively, by as much as 79.2%. In comparison, the simultaneous removal efficiency of zinc and cadmium were also studied for the same process and, they are 82.0% and 83.9% respectively. The TSS degradation constant rate during the 20 days' bioleaching was found to be 0.0522 day -1. It is concluded that Ontario should continue to apply sludge to agricultural land, as sludge is an economic alternative, promotes recycling of resources, and is a valuable fertilizer. However, the toxic metals in sludge should be removed from sewage sludge using the bioleaching process to recommended level before it is disposed as a fertilizer for land application.

Zeolite Coating

This study was carried out to investigate adsorption characteristics on NO2 and SO2 for two kinds of media, ie the carbonated media and its zeolite coated media with sewage sludge. Porous media was manufactured through processes of drying, extruding, forming, carbonation and washing. Zeolite was coated on the media, and then thermally treated. Test of NO2 and SO2 removal was peformed by detecting NO2 and SO2 concentration at inlet and outlet of the reactor continuously flowing the mixed gas. Zeolite coated media showed higher than carbonization media in removal efficiency of NO2 and SO2. Also, zeolite coated media took shorter time for achieving in 84% removal of SO2 than carbonated media. And, zeolite coated media showed that removal efficiency of NO2 and SO2 maintained high in early stage as well as time elapsing. It make possible the zeolite coated media remove SO2 and NO2 for long time. As a result, micro pore in zeolite could increase breakthrough time and adsorption capability, compared to macro pore in carbonated media. Zeolite coating on porous media would be effective on removal of SOx and NOx.
