SIAGI, Z.O.  and  MBARAWA, M.. An Overview of SO₂ Emissions Reduction Techniques. R&D j. (Matieland, Online) [online]. 2008, vol.24, pp.26-33. ISSN 2309-8988.

Coal is the primary source of energy produced and consumed in South Africa. Coal combustion results in the production of SO₂, a precursor of acid rain. As South Africa adopts and enforces emission limits, it will become mandatory for power plants to befitted with SO₂ scrubbers. This paper presents an overview of commercially available flue gas desulphurization (FGD) technologies that have an established record of performance. The paper assesses the application of these technologies and their performance in the SO₂ emissions reduction.

Keywords : SO₂; Desulphurisation; Emissions.
