What is Ammonia-based Desulfurization?
Reaction between SO2 and NH3 to produce ammonium sulfate.

SO2 + H2O + xNH3 (NH4)xH2-xSO3

2. EADS Process
Topics
Ammonia Loss: Challenge for Ammonia Desulfurization
Ammonia recovery 〓 Ammonia in the product

Total ammonia consumption
Ammonia recovery
• A key performance index for ammonia desulfurization
• Directly reflects the utilization of ammonia
Reduce ammonia loss

• Ammonia slip: Free ammonia that escapes with treated flue gas
• Aerosol: Unstable particles of ammonium sulfite, which eventually break
down to SO2 and ammonia and are difficult to capture
Ammonia Loss: Challenge of Ammonia Desulfurization
Low ammonia Recovery rate High ammonia recovery rate

Ammonia Loss Control Strategies
Optimized temperature and pH control
Precise ammonia addition control
Complete oxidation
Patented demising system

Ultrasonic Enhanced PM Control- Acoustic Agglomeration Mechanism
• Collision between particles with different

sizes, which vibrate at different amplitudes
when ultrasound is applied.
• Fluid attraction between particles due to
the gas velocity relative to particles.
• Precipitation of particles on the wave
loop of a standing sound wave caused by
acoustic radiation pressure, greatly
increasing the possibility of particle
collision.
