Abstract The experiment of improving Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) denitrification efficiency with gas additives (CH4 and C3H8) was carried out in the 50 kW circulating fluidized bed (CFB) pilot-scale equipment. The results show that the denitrification efficiency can reach 20 % when the reaction temperature is 650 °C, and the optimum mole ratio of C3H8/NH3 is 0.5. The denitrification efficiency can exceed 50 % when the mole ratio of C3H8/NH3 is 0.4 and the reaction temperature is 720 °C. However, the CH4 additive does not promote denitrification at this temperature. When the reaction temperature is 760 °C, the optimum denitrification efficiency of CH4 is 60 %, and the required CH4/NH3 is 0.8. Once the amount of CH4 exceeds the optimal value, the denitrification efficiency is suppressed. In addition, the concentrations of N2O and CO in the gas increase significantly with an increase of gas additives. Due to the incomplete oxidation of C3H8, a large amount of C2H4 is produced in the low-temperature region (< 750 °C) of SNCR.

Radial profiles of particle velocity in a large scale (418 mm I.D.) downward Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB downer) were obtained via a Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) system. Results show that particle velocity is gradually increasing along the radial direction and there exists a peak value in the near wall region. Such unique radial profile shape can be explained by the solids accumulating trend in the near wall region of the downer. Experiment results in this large scale downer are also compared with those obtained by other researchers in small scale units so as to investigate the scale-up effect on the radial particle velocity distribution in the downer.

Abstract Feed-forward neural network (FFNN) modeling techniques are applied to study the flow behavior of different-size irregular-shape particles in a pilot scale liquid–solid circulating fluidized bed (LSCFB) riser. The adequacy of the developed model is examined by comparing the model predictions with experimental data obtained from the LSCFB using lava rocks (dmean 500 and 920 µm) and water as solids and liquid phases, respectively. Axial and radial solid holdup profiles are measured in the riser at four axial locations (H 1, 2, 3 and 3.8 m above the distributor) above the liquid distributor for different operating liquids. In the model training, the effects of various auxiliary and primary liquid velocities, superficial liquid velocities and superficial solid velocities on radial phase distribution at different axial positions are considered. For model validation along with other experimental parameters, dimensionless normalized superficial liquid velocities and net superficial liquid velocities are also introduced. The correlation coefficient values of the predicted output and the experimental data are found to be 0.95 and 0.94 for LR-500 and LR-920 particles, respectively which reflects the competency of the developed FFNN model.
