Atmospheric fluidized bed combustion (AFBC) is a process that reduces sulfur emissions from coal-fired electric-generating plants. The residue from this process is a mixture of alkaline oxides, calcium sulfate, and coal ash constituent. ... The best and safest use of AFBC residue in agriculture was as a substitute for agricultural lime. 4, record 1, English, - atmospheric%20fluidized%20bed%20combustion
