Alloy 20 in Sulfuric Acid Applications
A byproduct of coal fired power plants is sulfur dioxide. If released into the atmosphere, it can produce acid rain, which is harmful to living organisms. Coal-burning power plants are required to use scrubbers or other methods to remove the sulfur dioxide from their emissions. This substance is then processed into sulfuric acid, diluted with water, and stored for proper disposal. Due to the corrosive nature of sulfuric acid, storage and handling equipment must be constructed of specific materials.
