Sorbalite for Other Activities Waste to Energy Incineration Plants

In the current waste treatment landscape, incineration of waste from other activities is emerging as an increasingly widespread practice aimed at generating energy and reducing waste volume. Despite the energy benefits, this process leads to the formation of harmful substances such as SOx, HCl, HF, heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Hg, dioxins, and furans, whose negative effects on health and the environment require effective flue gas purification systems.

Sorbalite represents one of the most promising methods for addressing these critical issues. Combining hydrated lime and activated carbon, Sorbalite proves to be an extremely effective purifying agent, perfectly compliant with current stringent environmental regulations.

Solution with Sorbalite

With its ability to neutralize and adsorb, Sorbalite is ideally suited to the flue gas purification processes of private waste-to-energy plants. The unique integration of lime and activated carbon allows for the treatment of a wide variety of pollutants. Specifically, the reaction with acids produces inert salts, while persistent organic substances such as dioxins and furans are effectively immobilized by the activated carbon. The dosing system that introduces Sorbalite into the flue gas streams ensures that this occurs efficiently and in a controlled manner.

Magnesium Lime

In some industrial plants, adding Magnesium Lime to the combustion chamber proves to be a particularly useful choice due to the reagent's ability to neutralize acids at low concentrations, supporting sorbalite in the neutralization process. Like activated carbon, it can intercept and retain substances such as heavy metals, ensuring advanced filtration. It therefore represents an optional, highly effective reagent that can be used in conjunction with sorbalite.
