Title: The sulfur fixing characteristics on calcium-compounds

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20082213

On the basis of a three factor and four level orthogonal experiment, the sulfur fixing characteristic on calcium-compounds has been studied. Three factors include burning temperature, the ratio of calcium versus sulfur and calcium-compounds. The sulfur fixing efficiency of sample was calculated through measuring the sulfur content of slag by means of X-ray fluorescent analysis, and it was found that influence of calcium-compounds on the efficiency is more important than the burning temperature or the ratio, and that Ca(OH){sub 2} has a better efficiency than CaO or CaCO{sub 3}. As the burning temperature is increased, the efficiency is decreased; when the ratio is increased, the efficiency will increase. Sulfur fixing agent and coal powder were mixed, then the mixture obtained was burned, the best efficiency of fixing sulfur was only 33%. As a result, some measures must be adopted to increase the efficiency to a extent that the sulfur fixing agent on the basis of calcium-compounds can be used practically.
