Sorbalite for Industrial Waste to Energy Incineration Plants

In a context of growing concern for the environment and energy efficiency, the incineration of industrial waste offers a promising solution for converting waste into useful energy, simultaneously reducing the volume of waste destined for landfill. At the same time, this process emits various pollutants, such as SOx, HCl, HF, heavy metals (e.g., Pb, Cd, Hg), dioxins, and furans, which must be effectively removed to protect public health and the environment. To address these challenges, the adoption of advanced flue gas treatment technologies is crucial.

Solution with Sorbalite

One of the advanced solutions for controlling these pollutants is the use of Sorbalite, a compound that combines the properties of hydrated lime with the adsorption efficiency of activated carbon. Injected into the exhaust gases of industrial waste-to-energy plants using a controlled dosing system, the neutralizing effect of lime is combined with the adsorbent properties of activated carbon. This approach not only treats acids and heavy metals but is also extremely effective at absorbing dioxins and furans.

Magnesium Lime

For specific industrial plants, Magnesium Lime injected directly into the combustion chamber is a valuable additive thanks to its ability to neutralize low-concentration acids, aiding the neutralization process performed by sorbalite. Just like activated carbon, this material can capture and bind harmful substances, such as heavy metals, ensuring optimal filtration. For this reason, it is an ideal choice for combining with sorbalite.
