So2 Capture

Simultaneous carbonation and sulphation have been investigated to simulate non-calcining conditions at FBC temperatures (750–850°C) using an atmospheric-pressure thermogravimetric reactor (TGR) with up to 80% CO2 in the gas stream to extend the pressure range of applicability of the results. This investigation was undertaken to provide insight on simultaneous carbonation and sulphation and to provide knowledge relevant to FBC, including PFBC, operations. Two calcium-based sorbents (one limestone and one dolomite) were tested with particles of diameter 212–250 μm and 500–600 to determine the effects of operating conditions such as temperature, CO2 and SO2 concentrations, particle size and reaction time on the sorbent performance. SO2 was found to impede CO2 capture; on the other hand, CO2 enhanced the capture of SO2. The calcination rate was also observed to decrease as a result of the presence of the sulphate layer.

Background: Turkey is approximately 72% of the world’s boron sources. Colemanite, tincal, ulexite and pandermite are among the most significant in Turkey. Boron compounds and minerals are widely used in many industrial fields. Objective: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the control of impurities in the boric acid production process using colemanite by carrying out the reaction with a mixture of CO2 and SO2 - water, and determining the appropriate process conditions to develop a new process as an alternative to the use of sulfuric acid. Due to worrying environmental problems, intensive studies are being carried out globally to reduce the amount of CO2 and SO2 gases released to the atmosphere. Methods: The Taguchi method is an experimental design method that minimizes the product and process variability by selecting the most appropriate combination of the levels of controllable factors compared to uncontrollable factors. Results: It was evaluated the effects of parameters such as reaction temperature, solid-to liquid ratio, SO2/CO2 gas flow rate, particle size, stirring speed and reaction time. The optimum conditions determined to be reaction temperature of 45°C; a solid–liquid ratio of 0.083 g.mL−1; an SO2/CO2 ratio of 2/2 mL.s−1; a particle size of -0.354+0 .210 mm; a mixing speed of 750 rpm and a reaction time of 20 min. Conclusion: Under optimum operating conditions, 96.8% of colemanite was dissolved. It is thought that the industrial application of this study will have positive effects on the greenhouse effect by contributing to the reduction of CO2 and SO2 emissions that cause global warming.

Fluidized Bed Combustor

Petroleum coke is regarded as a difficult fuel because of its high sulphur content and low volatile content. However, its low price and increased production, means that there is a powerful economic stimulus to use it for power generation. In this work, a process simulation has been performed as part of a feasibility study on the utilization of petroleum coke for power generation with low-cost CO2 capture. The proposed system employs a pressurized fluidized bed combustor and a calciner. In the combustor itself, the petroleum coke is burned and most of the CO2 generated is captured by a CaO sorbent under pressurized condition to form CaCO3. The CaCO3 is transported into the calciner where limited proportion of the petroleum coke is burned with pure O2, and calcines the spent sorbent back into CaO and CO2. A nearly pure CO2 stream is obtained from the calciner for subsequent disposal or utilization. The predicted overall efficiency of the combustion is near 40%. The proposed system would also be suitable for firing other high carbon and low ash fuel, such as anthracite.

Flash pyrolysis of Shenmu coal with solid heat carrier was carried out in a fluidized bed using semi-coke as the solid heat carrier and nitrogen as the carrier gas. The effects of pyrolysis temperature, reaction time and mass ratio of heat carrier to coal on the yields of products were studied. It is found that the best operating conditions involving pyrolysis temperature 550°C, reaction time 6 min and mass ratio of heat carrier to coal 2. The properties of coal tar from fluidized bed, such as density, viscosity, freezing point, carbon residue and hydrogen carbon atom ratio, are almost higher than that of the above water coal tar and lower than that of the below water coal tar, while the above and below water coal tar obtained from Sanjiang squared retort. The results of simulation distillation show that gasoline and diesel fractions of coal tar from fluidized bed are higher than that of below water coal tar and lower than that of above water coal tar, while the heavy oil fraction is opposed.

ABSTRACTAtmospheric-pressure fluidized bed combustion (AFBC) produces solid residues that are different from the familiar pulverized coal ashes. When limestone beds are used to adsorb SOx, high-Ca residues, comprised largely of CaO and SO4, are produced. Leachates from high-Ca AFBC residues are strongly alkaline (pH >11) and contain high levels of dissolved solids (TDS >3000 mg/L). If water is added during handling, hydration of CaO may cause a temperature rise and hydration of CaSO4 may result in premature hardening of the residues. Trace elements and organic components may leach from disposal sites. This paper presents an overview of the nature of AFBC residues and the factors influencing their disposal.
