A fuel containing sulfur is burned with air in a furnace and the exhaust gases are scrubbed to reduce the SO2 concentration in the exhaust gas that leaves the process. The fuel contains 80.2 mol% C atoms, 13.1 mol% H atoms, and 6.7 mol% S atoms and 14% excess air is used in the combustion. All of the fuel is combusted to CO2, SO2, H2O, and CO with the fraction that converts to CO being 15%. Before the exhaust gas from the furnace is sent to a scrubber to remove the sulfur dioxide, a fraction of it is split to bypass the scrubber. The scrubber removes 75% of the SO2 in the gas that Is Input to the unit by absorption Into an alkaline liquid solution. The gases leaving the scrubber (all of CO2, CO, N2, and O2 with some of SO2 and H2O) mix with the bypass stream. If the concentration of SO2 in this mixed stream is 5110 ppm (dry basis), then what is 14.0 16.8 20.2 24.2 29.0
