✦ Synopsis

In the lime and limestone wet scrubbing processes for flue gas desulfurization, the scaling tendency of these processes is primarily dependent upon the calcium sulfite and calcium sulfate supersaturation ratios. These ratios are determined by first analyzing experimentally the composition of the liquid portion of the slurry: molalities of dissolved sulfur dioxide, sulfate, carbon dioxide, chloride, sodium and potassium, calcium, magnesium, and pH.
