These studies support the develpomental work on atmospheric and pressurized fluidized-bed coal combustion. Laboratory and process-development-scale studies are aimed at providing (1) a model for the prediction of sulfation of various calcined limestones and dolomites of various particle sizes in various sulfur dioxide concentrations, (2) development of the hydration process for enhancing limestone sulfation, (3) the effect of attrition on the particle size distribution of limestone or dolomite in a pneumatic transport system, and (4) information on why some stones exhibit popping (explosive disintegration during calcination) and some do not. A handbook describing standardized methodology for evaluating the utilization of limestones in fluidized-bed combustors has been issued.
