Indiana limestones and dolomites for flue gas desulfurization (2009)

Order Number: SR67
Price: $15.00
Format: paper report

Required reductions of sulfur compounds from gas streams, called “flue gas desulfurization,” encouraged installation of wet limestone scrubbers at many coal-fired electricity-generating plants. Because Indiana has large deposits of limestone—the major consumable alkaline raw material for scrubbers—the state can meet an expected demand of several million tons per year. Limestone from varying limestone units behaves quite differently when used as scrubbing agents, therefore thorough knowledge of the rock units is essential. The location of suitable limestones close to the generating plants is also important. Optimizing the fit between geological characteristics of limestones and prospective scrubber systems will greatly improve planning and should result in lower overall costs for operation. Several hundred limestone samples from more than 30 active quarries were collected and their physical properties determined. Excellent sources of scrubber stone were found in Mississippian age rocks in central and southern Indiana. Rocks of the Paoli, Ste. Genevieve, and Salem Limestones (Mississippian) were especially efficient; however, even small amounts of dolomite, clay minerals, and quartz diminished a stone’s usefulness for flue gas desulfurization.
