Description:

Experimental data on sulfation rates of CaO particles derived from CaCO3 are compared to those derived from Ca(OH)2 using a product layer diffusion control model differing only in the shape of the CaO grain. Both the model and the experimental data indicate slightly higher reactivity for the Ca(OH)2-derived oxide due to the observed difference in grain shape. This effect is considered as a contributor to the greater performance of Ca(OH)2 in pilot-scale SO2 removal studies.
