A model on an entrained bed-bubbling bed process for CO2 capture from flue gas

A simplified model has been developed to investigate effects of important operating parameters on performance of an entrained-bed absorber and bubbling-bed regenerator system collecting CO₂ from flue gas. The particle population balance was considered together with chemical reaction to determine the extent of conversion in both absorber and regenerator. The calculated CO₂ capture efficiency agreed with the measured value reasonably well. Effects of absorber parameters — temperature, gas velocity, static bed height, moisture content of feed gas on CO₂ capture efficiency — have been investigated in a laboratory scale process. The CO₂ capture efficiency decreased as temperature or gas velocity increased. However, it increased with static bed height or moisture concentration. The CO₂ capture efficiency was exponentially proportional to each parameter. Based on the absolute value of exponent of the parameter, the effect of gas velocity, static bed height, and moisture content was one-half, one-third, and one-fourth as strong as that of temperature, respectively.     

Flow of filter granules in moving granular beds with louvers and sublouvers

It is important to develop the technology of high-temperature gas cleanup for some advanced power generation systems based on the gasification or combustion of coal or biomass. The moving granular bed filter has great potential to be developed for the hot gas cleanup. However the existence of stagnant zones in granular moving bed systems with louvered walls cause major technical problems, especially in filtration and adsorption processes. With the existence of stagnant zones, the dust particulates and fly ash coming with flue gas may plug the system and the filtration efficiency decreases remarkably.We propose a new design by placing sublouvers into the convergent channel between louvers to diminish the stagnant zones. This paper presents the results of a study of the flow patterns in a quasi two-dimensional cross-flow moving granular bed with systems of louvers and sublouvers. Silica sands were used as filter granules which were discharged from an upper hopper and circulated to the bed. An image processing system was used to record the granular flow for the investigations in flow patterns of filter granules. The velocity field and velocity distributions of filter granules are also evaluated and discussed. In this study, the design of sublouver-system moving bed has been optimized to almost completely eliminate the stagnant zones.     

Hydrodynamics of a gas-driven gas-liquid-solid spouted bed with a draft tube

A cylindrical gas-liquid-solid spouted bed, driven exclusively by gas flow, has been developed with a high potential for use in biochemical processes, such as a biological wastewater treatment. A plexiglass column with a 152 mm inner diameter was used in combination with a 53 mm inner diameter plexiglass draft tube. Three particle types were studied with densities ranging from 1044 kg/m³-1485 kg/m³ and average particle sizes ranging from 0.7-2.5 mm. Four flow regimes were observed when increasing the gas velocity, including fixed bed, semispouted bed, full spouted bed, and internal circulating fluidized bed. The transition gas velocities between those regimes were experimentally measured and termed as minimum spouting velocity, full spouting velocity, and minimum circulating velocity, respectively. A measurement of the downward particle flux in the annulus was used to identify the minimum spouting velocity, while the particle velocity and dense phase retraction in the annulus were monitored for the full spouting and minimum circulating velocities. All regime transition velocities increased with more dense particles and longer draft tubes. The minimum spouting velocity and full spouting velocity were not affected when varying the nozzle-tube gap, while the minimum circulating velocity increased with longer nozzle-tube gaps. Experiments without a draft tube were carried, though the spouting stability was significantly reduced without the draft tube.

Simulation analysis of gas–solid flow characteristics and water evaporation in flue gas semi-dry desulphurization process based on CPFD method

The gas–solids flow in an industrial-scale semi-dry method desulphurization tower is simulated by the computational particle fluid dynamics (CPFD) approach. Compared with previous studies on desulphurization towers, this study focuses on analyzing particle distribution characteristics such as particle volume fraction, temperature distribution, and residence time. The simulation fully considered the particle–fluid, particle–particle, and particle–wall interactions in the desulphurization tower. Based on these considerations, the effects of flue gas inlet velocity and temperature on the gas–solid distribution characteristics of the desulphurization tower are simulated. An optimization scheme for adjusting the gas–solid flow in the desulphurization tower is proposed. The research results show that the error between the CPFD simulation data and experimental data is small and the changing trend is consistent. The particles in the bed of the desulphurization tower show a typical core–annulus flow. The distribution of gas and particles in the bed has a serious deviation with the increase of the flue gas inlet velocity and temperature. As the axial height of the desulphurization tower increases, the flue gas velocity, temperature, particle concentration, and water vapour distribution in the bed become more uniform. The relatively stable operating conditions for the gas–solid flow in the desulphurization tower is that the flue gas inlet velocity and temperature are 15 m/s and 393 K, respectively. Under these operating conditions, the pressure loss caused by the venturi accounted for 73.6% of the total pressure loss of the desulphurization tower. When the particle radius is between 0–150 μm, the particle size and the flue gas inlet velocity have the greatest influence on the particle residence time. Finally, the distribution of gas and particles before and after the adjustment of the desulphurization tower is compared, which showed that adjusting the bottom structure of the desulphurization tower could optimize the gas–solid flow.     

Numerical Simulation of a Spouted Bed Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

In this article, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology is used to model a spouted bed(SB). The multifluid Eulerian-Eulerian approach based on kinetic theory of granular flows and Gidaspow's drag model for the interaction between gas and particles are applied in the modeling. The effects of the SB properties—that is, cone angle, particle size, cylinder diameter, and static bed height of particles—on its dynamics performance are investigated. The simulated results—that is, flow pattern of particles, fountain height, voidage, and particle velocity of the spout zone—are presented. It is shown that periodic fluctuation of spouting appears in an SB with conical angle of 30° and inlet velocity at 16.6 m/s. When the SB cylinder diameter becomes 0.52 m, periodic fluctuation appears, too. The stable spouting of the SB with a 90° cone angle could be obtained at an inlet air velocity of 24.3 m/s. The fountain height of particles decreased with an increase in particle size and the static bed height of particles. It is kept at about 0.19 m when different SB cylinder diameters in the range of 0.36 to 0.48 m are used. In the spouting region, the voidage decreased with static particle height in bed, but the particle velocity increased. For a certain particle size, the voidage decreased with an increase in particle height, but the velocity of the particles increased. It was also found that the cylinder diameter did not affect the volume fraction of particles except for the cylinder diameter 0.52 m and the change in particle velocity was minimal in the spout zone. With the different static bed height of particles used, the voidage and particle velocity did not change much at the same level of spout zone.     

喷动床中气体停留时间分布的研究

In a spouted bed of 80mm in ID and 1700mm in height, the gas residence time distributions at different radial positions in both spout and annular area were measured with five different kinds of particles as spouting material, air as spouting gas, and hydrogen as tracer. The effects of superficial gas velocity, operating pressure, particle size and its category on gas residence time distribution were discussed. It was found that the gas velocity profile in spout was more uniform than that in annulus. It could be concluded that the gas flow in the spout could be treated as a plug-flow, while that in the annulus inhibited a strong non-ideal flow behavior. Increasing the superficial gas velocity and decreasing the operating pressure, the particle density and its size gave rise to spouting disturbance, thus the measured tracer concentrations vs. time curves fluctuated. The variances of residence time distribution curves could be taken as a measure of the gas fluctuation degree.
