Abstract: | The objective of the present study was to generate submicrometer calcium hydroxide aerosols and to investigate the effectiveness of such aerosols in sulfur capture. The effectiveness of SO2 removal by Ca(OH)2 aerosol has been investigated in an isothermal reactor. Ca(OH) 2 aerosol was generated by a novel fluidizer system in which submicrometer-sized powders were entrained in gases. SO2 was added to this aerosol to a concentration of 2000 ppm. The aerosol-SO2 mixture was heated to 550°C-750°C in an isothermal tube reactor. The SO2 removal efficiency, which varied from 20% to 70%, was determined to be a function of the aerosol concentration, reactor temperature and residence time. The fraction of aerosol reacted was not affected strongly by the aerosol concentration. The reaction kinetics were determined from the experimental data using a simple analytical model in which the rate is first order in both SO2 and calcium hydroxide aerosol concentrations. |
