This paper describes a parametric study conducted in a 5-cm bubbling bed to determine the feasibility of scrubbing acidic gases from incinerator flue gas by direct contact with an alkaline sorbent in a fluidized bed. The effects of process parameters on removal of HCl, P/sub 2/0/sub 5/, and SO/sub 2/ were investigated experimentally. The relationship between removal efficiency and sorbent utilization was determined at 542{sup 0}C (1000{sup 0}F) and twice the minimum fluidization velocity.
