Granular calcic reagent for packed bed absorber
Sorbacal® HCG is an engineered granular calcic reagent with a grain size between 2 and 5 mm. It is specially designed for packed bed absorbers and composed of Ca(OH)2 and CaCO3.
This unique combination with more reactive Ca(OH)2 increases the porosity and specific surface area (~20 m²/g BET) compared to natural crushed limestone (~1 – 2 m²/g BET).
This leads to a significantly better neutralization of acidic gases like HCl, SO3, HF, and especially SO2.
