Experiments were carried out in a pilot-scale test rig at temperatures of 600--770 C to investigate the potential of filter cakes formed in hot gas filtration to remove sulfur dioxide, nitric oxide, and alkalis. The results demonstrate that a filter cake of fly ash particles is capable of contributing to SO{sub 2} capture, particularly with injection of a fresh sorbent. A filter cake of mixed limestone and alumina particles formed at 600 C showed a higher resistance to flow than one formed at 700 C. The efficiency of SO{sub 2} removal increased with the temperature over the range investigated. Both the cake and filter absorbed alkalis by chemical reaction, showing that the filter cake will help to protect the gas turbine, as well as the filter itself, against alkali attack. NO{sub x} emissions were not affected by the presence of the filter in an oxidizing atmosphere, while a considerable reduction of NO was obtained in the presence of CO.
