Industrial flue gas treatment system is a set of technologies which is used to remove hazardous gases such as sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) from the emission of industries and power plants. Fossil fuels such as oil and coal contain specified amount of sulphur. When these fuels are combusted in the presence of air almost 95% or more sulphur is directly converted into sulphur dioxide (SO2). When flue gas has excess quantity of oxygen it is again converted into sulphur tri oxide (SO3). In flue gas treatment system the flue gas is generally passed through an ash removal device and then through a SO2 absorber.

Calcium is one of the most abundantly available elements and is commonly in sedimentary rocks such as gypsum, dolomite and calcite. Calcium can also occur in igneous and metamorphic rocks, especially in silicate minerals including garnets, plagioclases, pyroxenes, and amphiboles.

Ammonium sulfate is an inorganic salt which occurs naturally in volcanic fumaroles as a rare mineral, mascagnite. It is prepared by the treatment of ammonia, often as a by-product from coke-ovens with sulfuric acid. Ammonium sulfate is also produced by gypsum which is treated with ammonium carbonate solution to give the precipitate of calcium carbonate leaving ammonium sulfate in the solution. It has high sulfur content in the sulfate form, making it easily absorbable by plants, and low pH making it suitable for alkaline soils. It is consumed in a wide range of applications such as fertilizers for alkaline soils, purifying protein, flame retardants, food additives, and for the preparation of ammonium salts such as ammonium persulfate. Ammonium sulfate is one of the most extensively consumed nitrogen fertilizers for crop production, which is considered valuable where both nitrogen and sulfur are required on account of its high solubility providing versatility to various agricultural applications. Small amounts of ammonium sulfate are also used in applications such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals and cattle feed supplements.
