Limestone is used in a power station to neutralise the sulphur dioxide that is emitted. Carbon dioxide and carbon sulphate are both made!
In the main the gas released is Sulphur and Carbon monoxide and this is filtered out by the Calcium
Coal fired power plants,Petroleum power plants,
They do this to decontaminate the emissions (to some extent) that are released into the atmosphere. but answers are fake and so is wikepedia
Using a method called flue gas desulphurisation which involves the addition of a calcium oxide. The calcium oxide basically absorbs the sulphur dioxide on its way out of the flues; economically, useful products are produced such as gypsum which can be used as plaster.
The most significant resource that a coal fired power station uses is of course coal. Coal is a non renewable natural resource and mining of coal has significant negative effects. In many cases coal is mined in sensitive grassland and wetland habitats - causing significant water pollution. Power stations also rely on large amounts of freshwater in the cooling towers as part of the power production process.
Calcium carbonate easily react with acids and a neutralizing reaction occur.
In the main the gas released is Sulphur and Carbon monoxide and this is filtered out by the Calcium
The calcium carbonate reacts with the acid as per any carbonate: Calcium Carbonate + Acid -> Calcium Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide
it is preferable for power stations to use soft water in their boilers because there is calcium carbonate in it and it does not create scale or scum
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
Sulphur dioxide
Coal fired steam driven power stations are still in use

South Africa is investing on gas-fired power stations because gas is a cheaper natural resource, it is efficient and does not produce a lot of pollution when it is burnt to generate electricity.

it sure has something to do with sulphur dioxide
