Title: Support studies in fluidized-bed combustion. Quarterly report, January--March 1978

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6615529· OSTI ID:6615529

This work supports the development studies for atmospheric and pressurized fluidized-bed coal combustion. Laboratory and process development studies are aimed at providing needed information on limestone utilization, control of emission of alkali metal compounds and SO/sub 2/T/sub 2/ during combustion, particulate loadings of flue gas, and other aspects of fluidized-bed coal combustion. These studies are designed to supply data and new concepts essential for the timely application of fluidized-bed combustion units to public utility and industrial systems. This report presents information on: the use of oil shales for SO/sub 2/ emission control in FBCs, enhancement of limestone reactivity by heat treatment, enhancement of limestone sulfation by use of chemical additives, corrosion of alloys in FBCs with salt added, removal of gaseous NaCl and KCl from hot gases by use of solid sorbents, studies of trace pollutant levels from PFBC and regenerator, and studies of an L valve for the control of the flow of solids.
