What are the hazards of SO2?

2023-3-14      View:

SO2, also known as sulfurous anhydride. It is a colorless, pungent and toxic gas, and is a common air pollutant. SO2 is a gaseous pollutant with a large amount and a wide impact scale among the aipollutants. With the development of industrial technology, air pollution, especially urban air pollution, is becoming increasingly serious, seriously endangering human health.

 

The harm of sulfur dioxide to human body is mainly reflected in the respiratory system, and the damage of the respiratory system will cause various respiratory diseases, such as asthma, bronchitis, lung swelling, throat edema, etc.

 

Sulfur dioxide also has a great impact on the ecological environment. Sulfur dioxide is an important source of acid rain, which has brought severe impact and damage to the earth's ecological environment and human social economy. Sulfur dioxide is easily converted into sulfuric acid fog in the atmosphere, corroding metal products and buildings, and also causing acidification of soil and Rivers and Lakes. Long time contact between plants and SO2 will constitute chlorosis or verticillium wilt, which will greatly damage the living environment of animals and plants, thus leading to the destruction of ecological balance.

 

Sulfur dioxide mainly comes from the burning of sulfur-containing oil, coal and natural gas, the melting and burning of sulfide ores, and the processing and production process of various sulfur-containing materials. Since coal and oil are the primary energy sources, the SO2 generated from its incineration now accounts for 70% of the air pollution. SO2 in industrial production process mainly includes nonferrous metal refining, petroleum refining, sulfuric acid production, sulfur refining, paper making, vulcanized rubber, etc. During this period, nonferrous metal tempering and sulfuric acid production were more severe.

 

 

Therefore, it is urgent to take effective measures to control sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere.

 

1. Select clean fuel to reduce the generation of sulfur dioxide

 

2. Use industrial sulfur-fixing briquette as fuel: can reduce smoke and dust emissions

 

3. Select flue gas desulfurization and use sulfur dioxide detector to detect the concentration of SO2 in flue gas after desulfurization
