Hydrated Lime or Sorbacal® for Mineral Whool Production Industries

The production of mineral wool, such as glass wool and rock wool, is an industrial process characterized by the use of high temperatures, necessary to melt and process minerals and glass. During this phase, fumes containing pollutants, primarily sulfur oxides (SOx), are generated. To comply with environmental regulations and reduce the impact of production processes on the environment, it is essential to adopt fume treatment and purification systems.

Solution with Hydrated Lime or Sorbacal®

An effective method for flue gas purification in the mineral wool production process involves the use of a hydrated lime or Sorbacal® dosing system. This system allows for the precise and controlled introduction of lime into the flue gas flow. The lime chemically reacts with the sulfur oxides (SOx) present in the flue gases, transforming them into non-hazardous solid compounds. These byproducts can be easily collected and disposed of, contributing to the purification of the gases before their release into the atmosphere.

Flue Gas Cleaning with Hydrated Lime or Sorbacal®

FAQ

The fumes emitted during the production of mineral wool primarily contain sulfur oxides (SOx), which derive from impurities in the minerals and materials subjected to the high temperatures required for melting. If untreated, these substances can have a significant impact on the environment and human health, making the use of purification systems like hydrated lime dosing essential.
During the melting and processing of materials in the production of mineral wool, fumes containing pollutants such as sulfur oxides (SOx) are generated. Hydrated lime is a particularly effective alkaline reagent for the neutralization of these acidic gases, forming solid by-products that can be easily managed. Thanks to the hydrated lime dosing system, flue gas treatment is controlled, reducing environmental impacts and optimizing purification processes.
