DOSIMETRY FOR COMBUSTION FLUE GAS TREATMENT WITH ELECTRON BEAM

Kishor Mehta, Sylwester Bułka


Dose and dose distribution in the reaction vessel of a flue gas treatment facility very strongly influence the removal efficiency of NOx, and to a smaller degree of SO2. Thus, it is essential that these two parameters are measured and are optimized for better economy of the process.
This report reviews past work in the field of dose measurements in flue gases. It also describes results of recent work carried out at the experimental facility of the Institute of Nucelar Chemistry and Technology. Experiments were carried out using various dosimetry techniques, such as solid dosimetry, gas phase dosimetry, gas phase dosimetry and calorimetry.
The purpose of this present work was not to measure and determine various dose related important parameters. That can hardly be done in a short period of time available for the project, and the fact that the analytical instruments (including the CTA dosimetry system) need much more time to check and calibrate them with traceability. The main objective of the project was to explore various possible methods for determining them.
