Mineral Whool Production Industry. Solutions for Flue Gas Cleaning

The production of mineral wools, such as rock wool and glass wool, is an industrial process that involves the fusion of raw materials, which are then processed to create insulation products. In the production of mineral wool, the use of sulfur-based additives leads to the formation of sulfur oxides (SOx). These SOx emissions must be reduced to comply with current regulations. The most commonly used solution involves injecting a powdered alkaline substance directly into the flue gas duct upstream of a bag filter. This reacts with and neutralizes the sulfur oxide, thus purifying the flue gases of any acidity.

FAQ

The production of Mineral Wools, such as rock wool and glass wool, is an industrial process that involves melting raw materials beyond 1400° and their subsequent transformation into fibers through a spinning process, fibers that are then processed to create insulation products. In the production of mineral wools, the use of sulfur-based additives leads to the formation of sulfur oxides (SOx) as emissions. Each production facility is equipped with a filtering system positioned before an oxidizer, which incinerates the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) resulting from the melting process and converts it into SOx. These SOx emissions must then be reduced to comply with current regulations. The most used solution consists of the direct injection into the flue upstream of a bag filter of a powdered alkaline substance capable of reacting with the sulfur oxide and neutralizing it, thus purifying the fumes from any acidity.
The production process of mineral wools involves the use of sulfur-based additives, which generates a large amount of sulfur oxides, particularly SO2 and SO3, during the cooking process in the furnaces. These substances are characterized by a strongly acidic Ph and are therefore harmful to the environment.
