| Abstract Scope |
Highly exothermic reactions in a Sulphuric Acid Plant are sources of energy that can be used effectively in metallurgical facilities. Unfortunately, this aspect does not receive the attention that it deserves while designing metallurgical facilities.
High temperatures in gas circuit allow heat recovery as steam which is a very valuable source of energy. Over the last two decades, development of better materials of construction has allowed operation of acid circuits at high temperatures, resulting in increased opportunity of heat recovery as steam.
This paper discusses various options for recovering heat and utilizing it effectively in metallurgical facilities. |
