Scrubber Technology

The text discusses various methods and consequences related to sulfur dioxide emissions and their environmental impact. One method proposed to mitigate these emissions involves using plants within smokestacks to absorb the sulfur dioxide instead of traditional scrubbers.

Sulfur dioxide emissions

acid rain

acid rain is formed by chemicals breaking down in the atmosphere and falls down as precipitation such as snow, rain, sleet, hail.

acidification

some type of substance’s pH drops below normal

acidification of the soil

the soil's pH is below normal by acidic compounds seeping into the soil

destruction of foiest area

the forest area is destroyed by the soil being acidic, the water source is contaminated with a acidic substance, the leafs are destroyed by acid precipitation.

geothermal wells

wells that generate electricity by hot water turning into steam and powering a turbine from underground reservoirs.

whare to find geothermal sites

where ever magma is close to the surface, an water is trapped near the site, hot dry rock that is near the surface, or where hot water escapes.

sulfur dioxide

sulfur dioxide can be mixed with water to make sulfurous acid or it oxidizes to make sulfur trioxide.

Sulfurous acid

a less corrosive acid than sulfuric acid

Sulfur trioxide

sulfur trioxide is formed from the oxidization of sulfur dioxide

sulfur trioxide mixed with water will make sulfuric acid

sulfuric acid

sulfuric acid is used for many things and it will cause destruction of tissue

replace the scrubber for sulfur
