Abstract: | A bubbling fluidized bed reactor was used as a desulfurization apparatus in this study. The height of the bed was 2.5 m, and the inner diameter was 9 cm. The bed materials were calcium sorbent and silica sand. The effects of the operating parameters of the flue gas desulfurization including relative humidity, temperature, superficial gas velocity, and the particle size of calcium sorbent on SO2 removal efficiency and calcium sorbent conversion and attrition rate in the fluidized bed were investigated. It was found that the temperature effect in our system was negligible from 40 to 65°C. A higher relative humidity had a higher calcium conversion and a higher sulfur dioxide removal efficiency. Moreover, a smaller particle size of calcium sorbent had a lower calcium conversion in the cyclone but a higher sulfur dioxide removal efficiency. A lower superficial gas velocity resulted in a higher sulfur dioxide removal efficiency and a higher calcium conversion, thus, the total volume of the flue gas treated was maximum near the minimum fluidization velocity. Finally, an attrition rate model proposed in this study could predict the elutriation rate satisfactorily. |
