Cansolv® technology can be applied in industrial processes involving the combustion of sulphur-containing fuels.

Sulphur dioxide, formed primarily by the combustion of sulphur-containing fuels.

Common sulphur-containing fuels include coal and oil.

The combustion of sulphur-containing fuels - either in vehicles or at stationary sources (e.g., facilities) - results in the transformation of sulphur into sulphur dioxide and sulphate particles.

Project description For several years this work has been studying means of improving the ability of calcium-based sorbents – limestone and dolomite – to capture and store sulphur oxides during combustion of coal and other sulphur-containing fuels.
