Better Life With Mgo

the european lifenv project will demonstrate that a new dry desulfurization technology based on mgo reagents is a positive net environmental impact solution for magnesium industries, especially in those areas with limited water availability where wet technologies cannot not be applied. a full-scale pilot plant of this novel dry fgd technique will be designed, constructed, optimized and validated in grecian magnesite’s yerakini mine facilities. the plant will treat the combustion gases generated by one of the site’s magnesite calcination rotary kilns to demonstrate that the relevant sox emission limit values of the clm bref are achievable and call for the inclusion of this technique in the next revision of the clm bref and its replication in the magnesia sector. the project plans to offer a positive net environmental impact solution because it will: 1.use an existing mgo by-product as the main sox sorbent that would otherwise have to manage as waste, 2.practically prove that
