The use of catalysts in FGD systems can improve efficiency in several ways:
Increased Reaction Rates: Catalysts can significantly increase the rate of chemical reactions, allowing for more rapid and complete removal of SO2 from flue gases. Lower Energy Consumption: Catalysts lower the activation energy required for reactions, reducing the energy needed to achieve high levels of pollutant removal. Improved Selectivity: Catalysts can be designed to be highly selective for SO2 removal, reducing the formation of unwanted by-products. Enhanced Sorbent Utilization: In systems using sorbents, catalysts can improve the efficiency of sorbent use, reducing the amount required and lowering operational costs.
