  • Other industrial uses of hydrofluoric acid include metal refining, mineral processing, and the desulfurization of oil. 23 Despite the fact that hydrofluoric acid is used in a wide variety of industries, it is extremely toxic.

  • At New Sky Energy, a new start-up here in Boulder, a Fairview High graduate named Deane Little has developed a technology for converting waste salt (from agricultural runoff or flue gas desulfurization), processing it with water electrolysis to yield oxygen, hydrogen, a strong acid and a strong base.

  • Such measures such as fuel switching (use of natural gas instead coal), and desulfurization of flue gases of coal-fired power plants have contributed very significantly to reducing sulfur dioxide concentrations to the extent that winter smog episodes have more or less ceased to be a problem in the US and Europe.

  • Because people like ME are building flue gas desulfurization systems that pull that SO2 out of the flue gas and then use it to create GYPSUM WALLBOARD that probably BUILT YOUR HOUSE.
