Modeling of high-temperature desulfurization by Ca-based sorbents

Wang, Wuyin LU and Bjerle, Ingemar LU (1998) In Chemical Engineering Science 53(11). p.1973-1989
Abstract
Models for estimating the sulfation of CaO at high temperature are presented. Short-residence-time sulfation is described by a pore size distribution model and long-residence-time sulfation by a particle expansion model. The calculations made agree well with experiments carried out on three different limestones in a TGA, a volumetric reactor and an entrained flow reactor. The pore size distribution model explains the effects of particle size, pore size distribution and partial pressure of SO2, suggesting these three factors to be the most important for CaO conversion. For particles larger than 1-2 mu m, pore diameters of 50-300 Angstrom are desirable. When large particles or long-residence times are used, as in fluidized-bed combustion,... (More)
