A method, a system and a crushing plant for controlling a crushing process, which crushing plant includes a feeder for feeding material to be crushed to a crusher, a first crusher for crushing the fed material, a second crusher for crushing the crushed material and a conveyor for conveying the crushed material from said first crusher to said second crusher. A crushing plant includes measurement means for measuring the volume flow of the crushed material and control means for controlling the feeding speed of the material to be crushed responsive to change in the volume flow of the crushed material.

Method and equipment for controlling crushing process

The invention relates to a process for the removal of sulfur dioxide from hot flue gases (8) which have been obtained by burning a sulfur-containing substance (4) in a boiler (1). In the process, a substance (6), such as lime or limestone, which reacts with sulfur dioxide to form a solid product is fed into the boiler or into the reaction zone (2) subsequent to the boiler, the hot flue gases (8) are cooled in the reaction zone (2) by feeding into it at maximum such an amount of water as the hot flue gases are capable of evaporating, and the substantially dry solid products are separated (3) in the form of dust (10) from the cooled flue gases. According to the invention, the flue gases (11) thus obtained are scrubbed (13) with an alkaline aqueous solution (15) in order to remove the remaining sulfor dioxide and dust from the flue gases, and part (9') of the cycled scrubbing solution (9) is fed into the boiler (1) or the reaction zone (2) in order to evaporate the water from this solution.

Process for the removal of sulfur dioxide from hot flue gases

A process for causing gaseous trace element particles to pass from a flowing hot gas into a fine particulate material by means of water. A mixture of the hot gas and water drops is caused to flow substantially upwards at such a velocity that the water drops remain in the gas flow and for a period long enough for most of the mass of the water drops to evaporate in order to cool the gas and to increase its relative humidity. After the gases have reached their wet temperature, they are brought into a turbulent state in order to cause the dust particles and the water drops which have decreased through evaporation to impinge against each other in order to produce in the aqueous film which covers the dust particles an exothermal ion reaction between the gaseous water-soluble trace element particles and the fine particles. Thereafter, the mixture is caused to flow further in order to evaporate the remaining water by means of the heat of reaction so that a dry end product is obtained.

A nozzle assembly includes at least one nozzle (1) for the injection of liquid moistening medium into a flow of flue gas, especially in view of cooling the flue gas, and a body (2) for directing the moistening medium to the nozzle. Nozzle (1) and body (2) are essentially disposed in a flue-gas flow duct or the like. In the flue-gas flow duct is fitted a housing (3) which essentially surrounds nozzle (1) and body (2). Housing (3) ia provided with an an aperture (10), which can be closed by a closing means (9) and through which a jet of moistening medium passes into a flow of flue gas.
