TL;DR
This paper reviews the environmental and economic potential of reusing desulfurization dross from coal plants in China.
Contribution
Highlights the progress and challenges in reusing semi-dry calcium-based desulfurization dross for sustainable development.
Findings
Semi-dry desulfurization dross has potential for high-value reuse if environmental risks are managed.
Heavy metal leaching and strong alkalinity pose risks to soil and groundwater.
Current research needs better systematic risk assessment and pretreatment optimization.
Abstract
As a solid waste generated during the desulfurization process of coal-fired power plants, the output of desulfurization dross is increasing year by year. If not properly treated, it may occupy land and potentially pollute the environment. This article reviews the physicochemical properties of desulfurization dross and the progress in its resource utilization. It specifically focuses on the application potential of semi-dry desulfurization dross, emphasizing how its comprehensive resource utilization can reduce environmental pollution and generate considerable economic benefits for related industries. It should be noted, however, that the leaching of heavy metals and the strong alkalinity of desulfurization dross may pose environmental risks such as soil and groundwater contamination. Current research still requires further improvement in the systematic assessment and management…
