they clean the coal as it passes through with machines called 'scrubbers'
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
Sulfur dioxide (also sulphur dioxide) is the chemical compound with the formula SO2. It is produced by volcanoes and in various industrial processes. Since coal and petroleum often contain sulfur compounds, their combustion generates sulfur dioxide unless the sulfur compounds are removed before burning the fuel. Further oxidation of SO2, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as NO2, forms H2SO4, and thus acid rain.[2] Sulfur dioxide emissions are also a precursor to particulates in the atmosphere. Both of these impacts are cause for concern over the environmental impact of these fuels.
No. Sulfur dioxide is sulfur and oxygen. Carbon dioxide is carbon and oxygen. They are two different substances.
No. Carbon dioxide is very different from sulfur dioxide.
The similarity of sulfur molecule and the sulfur dioxide molecule is the type of bond.
Iceland's energy demands are met with geothermal heat. No fuel = No emissions = No sulfur dioxide
Sulfur dioxide can be removed from a gas phase by making use of the reaction SO2 + CaO = CaSO3.

Carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide
No. Trading programs move emissions around, but don't reduce anything.

The gaseous emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other undesirables depending on the grade of the coal.
The pH of soils and lakes in the area decreased over time.
When burned, sulfur yields toxic sulfur dioxide, which forms irritants in the atmosphere and contributes to acid rain.
Because they are major pollutants that contribute to acid rain.
This is the combustion of fossil fuels as coal, petroleum and derivates.
