McCarty, H E

Two sets of fluidized-bed combustion experiments have been conducted in which raw shale fines and a simulated low Btu off-gas were burned to produce steam for power generation. The results show that the shale fines and low Btu off-gas can be utilized for energy production, and further, the sulfur removal is effective and efficient. This process eliminates the need for H/sub 2/S removal and is not sensitive to small quantities of entrained liquids.
