High-temperature, short-time sulfation of calcium-based sorbents. 2. Experimental data and theoretical model predictions

This paper reports on the fundamental processes for injection of CaCO{sub 3} and Ca(OH){sub 2} for the removal of SO{sub 2} from combustion gases of coal-fired boilers analyzed on the basis of experimental data and a comprehensive theoretical model. Sulfation data were obtained in a 30-kW isothermal...

Description
Summary:This paper reports on the fundamental processes for injection of CaCO{sub 3} and Ca(OH){sub 2} for the removal of SO{sub 2} from combustion gases of coal-fired boilers analyzed on the basis of experimental data and a comprehensive theoretical model. Sulfation data were obtained in a 30-kW isothermal gas-particle transport reactor at conditions simulating those of upper-furnace injection. The theoretical model accounts for particle structure, calcination, sintering, sulfation, and heat and mass transfer. Pore diffusion, product-layer diffusion, and sintering appear to be the principal processes that govern the rate of SO{sub 2} capture for the hydrate particles of interest for commercial dry sorbent injection.
