"Clean coal" primarily from the Powder River Basin, is low in sulfur content compared to other coal sources, and therefor produces less SO2 when combusted.
" Clean Coal Technologies" use chemical methods of "scrubbing" SO2 from exiting flue gasses before they can be released to the environment. One byproduct of this technology is gypsum which can be used in wall board for construction.

What is used to reduce SO2 emissions from coal burning power plants?
wet-scrubber units
Does coal burning produce SO2?
wat is SO2
How is SO2 formed?
SO2 is produced when the power plants combust coal.
What is the advantage of afbc boiler over pf boiler?
afbc has high turn down ratio,burner arrangement is simple,low grade coal can be burnt efficiently,so2 emission can be controlled,
What human activity increases sulfur dioxide?
The main source of SO2 air pollution is burning coal in power plants, because there is a kind of coal that contains sulfur as an impurity, which becomes SO2 when it burns. Burning coal. car fumes.
What does coal produce when burned?
Ash, CO2, CO, SO2 and heat.
How does the amount of sulphur increase of human activity?
The main source of SO2 air pollution is burning coal in power plants, because there is a kind of coal that contains sulfur as an impurity, which becomes SO2 when it burns.
How much so2 is produced from burning one ton of coal?
50% of carbon dioxode is released burnind coal
Is there a tool used for measuring sulfur emissions?
Correlation Spectrometers (COSPEC) can be used for measuring sulphur dioxide (SO2) emission rates, and the remote sensing of SO2 gas in the air.
What is the Name of air pollutant produced by burning coal?
The pollutants produced by burning coal are Mercury-HG Sulphur oxide-SO2 Nitrogen oxides-NO2
Why is coal power stations bad for peoples health?
Well, coal contains great amount of sulfur and when it burns, i.e. reacts with oxygen, it becomes SO2 which is a deadly gas to human. Other than that, burning also release CO2 and CO which are equally deadly to human as SO2 is.
What are environmental issues and what can be done to prevent them?
The main environmental issues are:Ozone depletionGlobal warm up due to emission of green house gasesacid rainair pollution due to emission of CO2, SO2, NOx, CO, heavy metals as mercury, lead, cadmium, and Arsenic.It can be prevented through using clean energy technologies that controls the emission of air pollutants, green house gases, and the extensive use of fuoronated gases ( as hydrofluorocarbons, fluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride)
