Phenylthiourea as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in simulated flue gas desulphurization systems

Abstract

The emission of sulphur dioxide, a dangerous atmospheric pollutant, is the major problem with the increasing use of coal as a fuel in various industries. A variety of methods in minimizing the sulphur dioxide emission have been reported, among which the desulphurization of the flue gas generated by combustion of the coal receives much attention and it is termed as flue gas desulphurization (FGD).
