The effect of H(2)O on the sulfation of Havelock limestone under oxy-fuel conditions in a thermogravimetric analyser
A gas mixture representing oxy-fuel combustion conditions was employed in a thermogravimetric analyser to determine the effect of water vapor and SO(2) concentration on limestone sulfation kinetics over the temperature range of 800 to 920 °C. Here, experiments used small samples of particles (4 mg),...

Sumario: | A gas mixture representing oxy-fuel combustion conditions was employed in a thermogravimetric analyser to determine the effect of water vapor and SO(2) concentration on limestone sulfation kinetics over the temperature range of 800 to 920 °C. Here, experiments used small samples of particles (4 mg), with small particle sizes (d(p) < 38 µm) and large gas flow rates (120 mL/min@NTP) in order to minimize mass transfer interferences. The gas mixture contained 5000 ppm(v) SO(2), 2% O(2), and the H(2)O content was changed from 0% to 25% with the balance CO(2). When water vapor was added to the gas mixture at lower temperatures (800–870 °C), the limestone SO(2) capture efficiency increased. However, as the temperature became higher, the enhancement in total conversion values decreased. As expected, Havelock limestone at higher temperatures (890 °C, 920 °C, and 950 °C) experienced indirect sulfation and reacted at a faster rate than for lower temperatures (800–870 °C) for direct sulfation over the first five minutes of reaction time. However, the total conversion of Havelock limestone for direct sulfation was generally greater than for indirect sulfation. |
