Development work has been done in support of atmospheric and pressurized fluidized-bed combustion. Sulfur retentions obtained in fluidized-bed combustors were compared with results obtained by thermogravimetric analysis to identify the reasons for discrepancies in results from the two sulfation devices. In other work, basic studies and engineering studies were performed on the process for enhancing limestone sulfation by hydrating partially sulfated stone. Other laboratory studies were carried out to determine (1) the effect of attrition on the particle size distribution of sorbents in a pneumatic transport system and (2) why some stones exhibit popping (explosive disintegration) when subjected to shock calcination and some do not.
