100 kg of pyrite mineral is burned per hour in a furnace. The composition of this pyrite mineral is as follows; FeS2=90% Inert=10% This pyrite mineral is burned with 20% excess air. (Based on stoichiometric oxygen SO3 will be calculated accordingly). While there is no sulfur in the slag, SO3 in the furnace does not occur. The resulting furnace gases are sent to a converter and 98% of SO2 is SO3. is converted into. The gases from the converter are sent to an absorption tower. sent, all of the SO3 is absorbed. 80% to the absorption tower sulfuric acid enters and exits the absorption tower as 100% H2SO4. Calculate the analysis of the gases coming out of the converter
