The purpose of this work was to study the feasibility of regenerating and reusing lime employed as a sorbent for sulfur oxides in an industrial, circulating fluidized bed boiler that is fired with petroleum coke. At present ground limestone is supplied continuously to the boiler, and the resulting sulfated bed ash and fly ash are discarded. By regenerating the sorbent, much less limestone would be required and waste disposal would be minimized.
