Bruce, K., B. Gullett, AND a. Beach. COMPARATIVE SO2 REATIVITY OF CAO DERIVED FROM CACO3 AND CA(OH)2. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-89/002 (NTIS PB89197776), 1989.

Description:

The paper gives results of a Comparison of experimental data on sulfation rates of CaO particles derived from CaC03 with 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 proposed as a contributor to the greater performance of Ca(OH)2 in pilot scale S02 removal studies.
