Abstract (en)

Process for combustion of a sulphur-containing liquid fuel with reduced emission of sulphur oxides (SOx) and corresponding combustion plant, in which combustion is performed of an emulsion comprising a continuous phase consisting of the liquid fuel and an aqueous phase, dispersed in the said continuous phase, in which a sorbent capable of reducing the emission of SOx is introduced. The amount of sulphur sorbent is determined as a function of the quantity of sulphur present in the fuel and of the maximum permissible concentration of SOx in the gaseous effluents, and in the emulsion the aqueous solution of the sorbent is dispersed in the liquid fuel in the form of particles having a mean diameter such as to obtain an SOx reduction efficiency of at least 90%. <IMAGE>
