Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

Air pollution control is a long task for both society and industry. Flue gas is one of the main sources of gaseous pollutions, and its treatment has attracted extensive attention in recent decades. There are many well-developed methods for flue gas treatment, such as electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) for dust purification, flue gas desulfurization (FGD) for SO2 removal, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for NOx abatement. In the future, ideal flue gas treatment should meet the following requirements: high efficiency, low energy cost, low carbon, environmental friendliness, and good recycling potential. Further, with the development of artificial intelligence (AI), the integration of flue gas treatment with AI technology is also an interesting topic.

This Special Issue aims to publish recent advancements, technical challenges, and novel methodologies or materials for flue gas treatment. The main topics of this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

  • Advances in the flue gas treatment process;
  • Novel methods for flue gas treatment;
  • Multipollutant abatement technology;
  • Technology of heavy metal removal;
  • Materials (adsorbents and catalyst) for flue gas purification;
  • Methods for energy and resource saving in flue gas treatment.

Fossil fuel power plants can cause numerous environmental issues, owing to exhaust emissions and substantial water consumption. In a thermal power plant, heat and water recovery from flue gas can reduce CO2 emissions and water demand. High-humidity flue gas averts the diffusion of pollutants, enhances the secondary transformation of air pollutants, and leads to smog weather; hence, water recovery from flue gas can also help to lessen the incidence of white plumes and smog near and around the power plant. In this study, a lab-scale system for heat and water recovery from flue gas was tested. The flue gas was initially cooled by an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system to produce power. This gas was further cooled by an aftercooler, using the same working fluid to condense the water and condensable particulate matter in the flue gas. The ORC system can produce approximately 220 W of additional power from flue gas at 140 °C, with a thermal efficiency of 10%. By cooling the flue gas below 30–40 °C, the aftercooler can recover 60% of the water in it. Full article
