Abstract

Advances an alternative method for disposal of softening plant residuals by demonstrating its application at a coal-fired electric generation station as a limestone makeup reagent for flue gas desulfurization. Provides data to confirm the merit of reuse as a realistic strategy and addresses attributes for the acceptance and application of the option. Published in 1997.
