Direct sorbent injection for combined SO/sub 2//NO/sub x/ removal: Final report, Volume 1: Text material

A multi-task program has been completed which investigated SO/sub 2/ and NO/sub x/ removal from flue gases by injecting lime slurry (and other sorbents) in the flue gas duct. The tasks in this program included: (1) SO/sub 2/ removal experiments conducted in a pilot scale facility. (2) Spray droplet velocity profile measurements with a laser velocimeter. (3) Spray doublet size distribution measurements with a shadow spectrometer. (4) Mathematical modeling to support the experimental work. Results are discussed. 36 figs., 42 tabs.
