Control of Waste and Water Pollution from Power Plant Flue Gas Cleaning Systems:First Annual R and D Report.

摘要

The report summarizes and assesses the state of research and development in the fields of non-regenerable flue gas cleaning (FGC) waste treatment,utilization,and disposal,as well as water reuse technology,for coal-fired utility power plants. Significant results cover: (1) chemical and physical characterization of wastes from eastern and western U.S. plants using lime,limestone,or double-alkali scrubbing systems; (2) chemical and physical properties and leaching characteristics of treated and untreated wastes; (3) field evaluations of treated and untreated waste disposal; (4) disposal alternatives; (5) cost estimates for ponding and for fixation disposal methods; (6) disposal standards; (7) gypsum production and marketing; (8) potential use of wastes in fertilizer production and portland cement manufacture; (9) beneficiation studies;and (10) total power plant water reuse.
