Abstract
A flue gas desulfurization apparatus includes at least one activated carbon fiber boardprovided in a catalyst unit, the board being formed by alternatingly juxtaposing one or more plate-like activated carbon fiber sheets and one or more corrugated activated carbon fiber sheets so as to provide vertically extending conduits, wherein water for producing sulfuric acid is supplied, through a capillary phenomenon, to the activated carbon fiber boardprovided in the catalyst unit. The flue gas desulfurization apparatus attains removal of sulfur oxides (SO) by adding a minimum required amount of water to the activated carbon fiber boardso as to attain uniform water distribution and can reduce the amount of water required for removing sulfur oxides (SO).
