Feasibility Study and Conceptual Design of a Process to Recover SO2 from Sulfuric Acid Plant Tail Gas.

Abstract

The feasibility of absorbing in diethylene glycol, SO2 from air containing 1000 ppm SO2 and desorbing the SO2 for recovery was confirmed. A design is given for use at new sulfuric acid facilities at munition plants. Development was discontinued because the tail gas could contain 0.1% of H2SO4, SO3 and NO sub X, which could react to form explosive dinitrate. (Author)
