5) Plants in Europe sometimes use the mineral pyrites (containing FeS, and inerts) as a source of SO; for the production of sulphite pulping liquor. Pyrite rock containing 48.0% sulphur is burned completely with dry air by flash combustion. All the iron forms Fe,Oa in the cinder or the product gas. The gas from such a furnace is passed through milk of lime (Cao in water) absorbers to produce bisulfite pulping liquor. The exit gas from the absorber analyzes: SO, 0.7%, O, 2.9%, and N2 96.4%. Calculate the air supplied to the burner per kg of the pyrites burned. FeS, + 02 → Fe,0, + SO2

Question
5) Plants in Europe sometimes use the mineral pyrites (containing FeS2 and inerts) as a source of SO; for the
production of sulphite pulping liquor. Pyrite rock containing 48.0% sulphur is burned completely with dry
air by flash combustion. All the iron forms Fe:0a in the cinder or the product gas. The gas from such a
furnace is passed through milk of lime (Cao in water) absorbers to produce bisulfite pulping liquor. The
exit gas from the absorber analyzes: SO; 0.7%, O2 2.9%, and N2 96.4%. Calculate the air supplied to the
burner per kg of the pyrites burned.
