Hat is the emission of sulfur

Reference no: EM13311068

Consider a new 38 % efficient 600MW power plant burning 9000 BTU/lb coal containing 1 % sulfur. If the plant has a scrubber that is 80% efficient, then:

a) What is the emission of sulfur (g/hr)?

b) If all the sulfur converts to SO2, how many grams of SO2 are generated per kilowatt hour?

c) If 0.9 g of particulate matter are released per lb of coal and the air pollution control system is also 80% efficient, what is the amount of particulate matter released into the air per kilowatt hour.
