How many metric tons of coal containing an average of 2% S are required to produce 100 million metric tons of SO2? 100 million metric tons is the amount of SO2 released annually from electricity production
The percentage of carbon is 98 %
C+O2 ---> CO2
S+O2-----> SO2
here, carbon is the fuel that contributes to electricity production.
lbmoles of SO2 =100 million *2000 lb of SO2/64 lb/lbmol =3125 million lbmol of SO2
carbon and sulphur are burnt ratio of 1:1
Metric tons of Coal =3125 *0.98=3062.5 million lbmol*12 lb/lbmol=36750 million lb=735*10^5 million tons

please show all computations PILULUH.001 1. How many metric tons of bituminous coal needed to run a coal power plant rated at 4,000 MW thermal for one year? How many kilograms of CO2 is produced from this plant? Assume a capacity factor of 100%.
A typical coal-fired electric generating plant will burn about 3 metric tons of coal per hour. Most of the coal burned in the United States contains 1 to 4 % by weight sulfur in the form of pyrite, which is oxidized as the coal burns: 4FeS2(s) + 11 O2(g) 2 Fe2O3(s) + 8 SO2(g) Once in the atmosphere, the SO2 is oxidized to SO3, which then reacts with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid: SO3(g) + H2O(l) H2SO4(aq)...

A typical coal-fired power plant burns 320 metric tons of coal every hour to generate 2.6×106 MJ of electricity. 1 metric ton = 1000 kg; 1 metric ton of coal has a volume of 1.5 m3. The heat of combustion is 28 MJ/kg. Assume that all heat is transferred from the fuel to the boiler and that all the work done in spinning the turbine is transformed into electrical energy. 1. Suppose the coal is piled up in a 10...

An economy depends on two basic products, wheat and ol. To produce 1 metric ton of wheat requires 0.27 metric tons of wheat and 0.35 metric tons of oil. Production of 1 metric ton of oil consumes 0.08 metric tons of wheat and 0.12 metric tons of oil. Find the production that will satisfy a demand for 550 metric tons of wheat and 830 metric tons of oil. 0.27 0.08 Input-output matrix A 0.35 0.12 How much wheat is required...
32 Suppose a utility generates electricity with a 36 percent efficient coal-fired power plant emitting the legal limit of 0.6 lb of SO2 per million Btus of heat into the plant. Suppose the utility encourages its customers to replace their 75-W incandescents with 18-W com pact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) that produce the same amount of light. Over the 10,000-hr (a) How many kilowatt-hours of electricity would be saved? (b) How many 2,000-lb tons of SO2 would not be emitted? (c)...
