Question

Power plants use specialized scrubbers to remove sulfur oxide gases. true or false.

Answer 1

Answer:

The given statement is TRUE

Explanation:

Sulfur oxides (SOx) are compounds of sulfur and oxygen molecules. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is the pre- dominant form found in the lower atmosphere. It is a colorless gas that can be detected by taste and smell. Scrubbers help to remove most of the sulfur oxides from the smoke stack exhaust of a power plant. In the scrubber, there is a water spray that produces a cloud of fine water droplets. The water is mixed with crushed limestone, which reacts with the sulfur and pulls it out of the exhaust

Answer 2

True. But it is not entirely fool proof.
