How could acid rain be reduced in coal fired power stations?
== == Acid gas emissions cold be reduced by: * Reducing demand on the station (less fuel burned less emissions) * Make the staitons more efficient * Use a lower sulfur coal * Improve NOx forming conditions in the boilers * Remove Acid Gases by treatmnt before discahrge * Close inefficient stations * Have a shedding strategy for the network that uses lower politon emitting stations first
How is sulfur removed in power stations?
Sulphur dioxide can be removed from the waste gases of a power station by passing it through a slurry of calcium hydroxide. no need to thank me :P lol hehe
How is calcium carbonate used in coal fired power stations?
Limestone is used in a power station to neutralise the sulphur dioxide that is emitted. Carbon dioxide and carbon sulphate are both made!
Why are waste gasses from coal-fired power stations passed through calcium carbonate?
In the main the gas released is Sulphur and Carbon monoxide and this is filtered out by the Calcium
How can you reduce the amount of sulfur dioxide released?
Some types of coal contain sulphur, and when burned, release sulphur dioxide; this is the major source of sulphur dioxide emissions. There are ways to scrub pollutants out of the smoke emitted by coal-burning power plants, however, I personally think that it makes more sense to stop burning coal and switch to other methods of power generation.
What are the emissions from coal combustion at thermal power plants?
Oxides of Nitrogen Oxides of Sulphur
Who were the first people to remove sulphur dioxide from power stations?
ages a go
How do you reduce air pollution from power stations?
Air pollution from power stations can be reduced by ensuring that the effluents are purified before being released into the air. Carbon emissions from a coal station can go through a cleaning process to remove heavy metals from the smog before it is released.

What are the probable sources of smoke?
sources of smoke include emissions from vehicles and power stations
How does calcium carbonate reduce harmful emissions from coal-fired power stations?
Coal contains sulphur and when this is burnt(heated) sulphur dioxide is produced, this is a greenhouse gas. To remove this greenhouse gas, this gas is passed a mechanism like a shower that is able to dissolve it and make it an acid. Then this acid sulphur is neutralized with calcium carbonate to form calcium sulphate, water and carbon dioxided
Calcium carbonates be used to remove acidic gases from power stations?
it sure has something to do with sulphur dioxide
Which method of generating electricity produces carbon dioxide?
Coal power stations will give off CO2 emissions.
What atmospheric pollutants are made by power stations?
Mostly sulphur and carbon dioxode comes out of a power station that burns fossil fuels. But there are some other gases
What problem does carbon dioxide cause to power stations?
There is pressure on power stations to reduce or capture their carbon dioxide emissions. For those burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), this is practically impossible, so it is quite a problem!
Which pollutants can be removed from the chimney gases of factories and power stations by treatment with calcium carbonate?
Sulphur dioxide
