Flue Gas
The air coming out of a chimney after combustion in the burner it is venting. It can include nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, water vapour, sulphur oxides, particles and many chemical pollutants.
Flue Gas Desulphurisation ...
Flue Gas Desulfurization: A technology that employs a sorbent, usually lime or limestone, to remove sulfur dioxide from the gases produced by burning fossil fuels.
Flue Gas: The air coming out of a chimney after combustion in the burner it is venting.
Fogging: Applying a liquid chemical by rapidly heating it to form fine droplets that resemble smoke or fog.
Ft2: Square feet.
Vapor Plumes: Flue gases visible because they contain water droplets.
stack gas See flue gas.
stack-unit maps A map showing the areal distribution of geologic materials based on their order of occurrence to a specified depth.
The burning of fossil fuels produces flue gases, which include CO2, water vapor, sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides. In a post-combustion process, CO2 is separated and captured from the flue gases that result from the combustion of fossil fuel.
many coal-burning power plants use Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) to remove sulfur-containing gases from their stack gases. An example of FGD is the wet scrubber which is commonly used in the U.S. and many other countries.
Fly ash consists of very small particles of ash that are carried out of the system along with the flue gases.
Fly Ash - The fine ash waste collected from flue gases from coal burning power plants, smelters, and waste incinerators. Fly ash can be used as a cement substitute in concrete, thereby reducing embodied energy of the concrete.
A series of screens placed in the way of flue gases to slow the stream of air, thus helping gravity to pull particles into a collection device.

geosequestration: a process to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere; a variety of sequestration methods, including removing carbon from flue gases, condensing it to a liquid then pumping it underground for storage, are being explored.
Settling Chamber- A series of screens placed in the way of flue gases to slow the stream of air, thus helping gravity to pull particles into a collection device.
Desulphurisation
the removal of sulphur compounds from flue gas in the form of solid sulphur or as calcium sulphate (gypsum) ...
Non-combustible residual particles expelled by flue gas.
Food Chain
A sequence of organisms, each of which uses the next, lower member of the sequence as a food source.
Scrubber: anti-pollution device that uses a liquid or slurry spray to remove acid gases and particulates from municipal waste combustion facility flue gases.
It can include metal oxides, silicates and sulfur compounds, as well as many other chemical pollutants. It is fine ash carried along by flue gases that must be captured by some means before it reaches the mouth of the chimney.
