Hydrogen chloride is one of the acid gas emissions resulting from municipal and hazardous waste combustion and can be neutralized by reaction with calcium-based sorbents downstream of the furnace. The mechanisms of HCl reaction with dry Ca(OH)[sub 2] or CaO sorbents in flue gas cleaning applications were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry, and X-ray diffraction. A short-time differential reactor (STDR) was used to contact 1,000 ppm HCl with dry sorbents at temperatures ranging from 100 to 600 C. The product of HCl reaction with Ca(OH)[sub 2] over the 100--600 C range in the STDR was identified as a solid solution of CaCl[sub 2] [center dot] 2H[sub 2]O and CaClOH. Subsequently, the Cl/Ca molar ratio in the product was determined to be less than 2. The product of the HCl reaction with CaO in the STDR over the 100--600 C range was identified as CaClOH. When scanned by DSC, samples of both CaO and Ca(OH)[sub 2] that were previously exposed to HCl in the STDR revealed an endotherm between 530 and 590 C. The amount of enthalpy correlated well with the chemically determined sample conversion.
