| Abstract |
In an effort to develop a low-cost retrofit technology for control of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from coal-fired utility plants, boiler injection of dry calcium-based sorbents to form calcium sulfate (CaSo4) has been widely studied. The effects of such parameters as injection temperature, sorbent surface area, and SO2 concentration on the reaction between the active species, calcium oxide (CaO), and SO2 are well documented. One such parameter of particular interest is the chemical parentage of the active sorbent. In pilot-scale studies, CaO derived from hydrated lime, Ca(OH)2, has been found to be more reactive than that from the respective limestone, CaCO3. The paper gives results of a comparison of experimental data on sulfation rates of CaO particles derived from CaCO3 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. The effect is proposed as a contributor to the greater performance of Ca(OH)2 in pilot scale SO2 removal studies. |
