| Abstract |
The paper gives results of pilot plant tests to evaluate the effects of magnesium and chloride ions on system performance of limestone-regenerated dual alkali processes under closed-loop operating conditions. It was found that limestone reactivity and solids dewatering properties are very sensitive to magnesium ion concentrations. The total magnesium ion concentration should be maintained below 1000 ppm for satisfactory performance under normal operation. A model which assumes competitive surface adsorption of calcium and magnesium ions was used to interpret the data. Limestone reactivity and solids dewatering properties decreased with the increase of chloride ion concentrations; however, the effect of chloride ion accumulation was not significant until the concentration reached 80,000 ppm. |
