Coal has a heating value of 3 0 MJ / kg and the following molecular composition: C 1 0 0 H 1 0 0 S

Coal has a heating value of 30 MJ/kg and the following molecular composition: C100H100S1N0.5. It is burnt in the air without excess oxygen. If
Emisson rate of SO2=1.59 g/GJ and NO2=1.14 g/GJ
Mole fraction of SO2=NO2=0.00159=1590 ppmv
a) The flue gas of the plant is to be treated with flue gas desulfurization (FGD) using a limestone (CaCO3) wet scrubber to remove the SO2. Assume that 2 moles of CaCO3 are necessary for every mole of SO2. How much limestone is consumed per ton of coal?
b) The flue gas of the plant is to be treated with flue gas denitrification (FGN) using urea (CO(NH2)2) injection directly into the boiler. Assume that a molar ratio NO2:CO(NH2)2=1:1 is necessary. How much urea is consumed per ton of coal?
