Powerplants attempt to achieve 100% combustion to maximize energy production and minimize waste gas formation. They do this by monitoring the coal to air ratios and using special burners. They also inject gases like SO3 (tiny amounts) into the combustion chamber or flue gas to improve the operation of the Electrostatic precipitator.

The bottom line is that instead of preventing the gases from escaping the powerplants try to prevent them from ever forming.

Calcium carbonates be used to remove acidic gases from power stations?

Yes, calcium carbonate can be used to remove acidic gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from power station emissions through a process called flue gas desulfurization. This involves the reaction of calcium carbonate with the acidic gases to form less harmful products like calcium sulfate and water.


What is the harmful gases of geothermal?

Geothermal energy typically produces low amounts of harmful gases, with the main emissions being carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia. These gases can be released during the drilling and operation of geothermal power plants, but their levels are generally lower than those produced by fossil fuel-based power plants.
