The novel combustion concept Oxygen Carrier Aided Combustion (OCAC) is realized by addition of an active oxygen-carrying bed material to conventional fluidized bed boilers. The active bed material is meant to become reduced in fuel-rich parts of the boiler and oxidized in oxygen-rich parts, thus potentially providing advantages such as new mechanisms for oxygen transport in space and time. In this study, oxygen-carrier particles prepared from so called Linz-Donawitz (LD)-slag are examined as active bed material in a 12 MWth Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boiler. LD-slag is the second largest by-product in steel making and is generated in the basic LD oxygen converter process. The experimental campaign lasted for two full weeks. The fuel was wood chips. LD-slag worked well from an operational point of view and no problems related to handling, agglomeration or sintering were experienced, albeit the production of fly ash increased. The boiler temperature profile suggested that fuel conversion in the main boiler body was facilitated, but the effect did not readily translate into reduced emissions from the stack. Spraying an aqueous solution of ammonium sulphate directly into the cyclone outlet with the aim of rejecting alkali metals as alkali suphates was found to solve the problems related to carbon monoxide emissions, suggesting that the problems could be due to the poor ability of LD-slag to absorb certain ash components. Use of a mixed bed consisting of 10–50 wt% LD-slag, with the remaining part being silica sand for ash absorption, also worked well. It is concluded that LD-slag could be a very cheap and readily available oxygen-carrying bed material for use in fluidized bed applications.

Petroleum coke firing in a circulating fluidized bed boiler has sometimes been reported to be associated with cyclone deposit problems and return leg plugging. In this paper, we present data which indicate that some of these problems may be due to the calcium-rich bed material used during the firing. We have earlier shown that calcium oxide may react with the flue gas components SO2 or CO2, causing neck growth between the solid particles. This neck growth between particles may lead to both deposits in the cyclone and plugging of the cyclone return leg. In this study we made use of a sintering testing method, based on compressive strength tests of heat-treated cylindrical pellets. Laboratory-prepared petroleum coke ash was mixed with two potential bed materials, limestone and dolomite, and sintering tests were performed in three different gas atmospheres. Significant differences were found between the mixtures as a function of both the gas atmosphere and temperature. We also performed thermogravimetric analyses on one of the bed materials, the limestone. Based on these results a mechanism for the formation of cyclone deposits and bed material agglomeration in the return leg was suggested.
