| Popis: | Sulfur removal during combustion of coal or low-temperature coal char using excess air in a fluidized bed of dolomite has been demonstrated in a continuous bench-scale unit. The SO2 produced during the combustion is fixed as CaSO4 by reaction with CaO in the dolomite as follows: CaO + SO2 + ½ O2 = CaSO4. The ranges of conditions explored were calcium oxide-to-feed sulfur mol ratios in the range of 1 to 8, fluidizing velocities of 1.5 and 3.0 ft/sec, superficial gas residence times of 1 and 2 sec, and temperatures from 1700° to 1900°F, with 120% stoichiometric air at the operating pressure of 8 psig. The process was operable at all conditions studied using a highly caking Pittsburgh seam coal as well as two low-temperature chars. Desulfurization efficiency with a Ca-to-S mol ratio of 1 was 78%; at Ca-to-S ratios of 2 or higher desulfurization efficiency exceeded 90%. Continuous regeneration of the sulfated dolomite using partial combustion of carbon monoxide gas at 1950°F was also demonstrated. As high as ... |
