Hydrated Lime or Sorbacal® for Glass Factories

Glassmaking is a major industry sector, producing high-quality glass products used in a wide range of applications. However, the glass manufacturing process emits harmful substances, including sulfur oxides (SOx) and hydrofluoric acid (HF), which must be properly treated and purified from exhaust gases before being released into the atmosphere.

Solution with Hydrated Lime or Sorbacal®

An effective flue gas purification system in the glass production process involves the use of a dedicated lime dosing system. Both hydrated lime and Sorbacal® are dosed and injected into the flue gas treatment system, helping to neutralize sulfur oxides and acids present in the exhaust gases. This process efficiently purifies the flue gases, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and protecting the ecosystem.

Flue Gas Cleaning with Hydrated Lime or Sorbacal®

FAQ

What are the main pollutants generated in glass manufacturing?

The fumes resulting from the glass melting process contain Sulfur Oxides (SOx) and Hydrofluoric Acid (HF), primarily deriving from impurities present in the raw materials used for glass production. These pollutants must be adequately treated to prevent environmental and human health damage.

Why use hydrated lime for flue gas purification in the glass manufacturing process?

During the glass manufacturing process, the high temperatures used to melt materials generate fumes containing pollutants, including SOx and HF. Hydrated lime chemically reacts with these compounds to form non-hazardous solid by-products, such as calcium sulfate, contributing to the effective treatment of fumes.
