These studies support development work in atmospheric and pressurized fluidized-bed coal combustion. The problems to be addressed in designing a regenerator larger than a PDU unit are discussed. Work has begun on the evaluation of rotary kilns (presently laboratory-scale kilns) as alternatives to fluidized beds for the regeneration of partially spent limestone sorbent. The new automated 15-cm dia fluidized-bed combustor for measuring corrosion of materials of construction in a PDU unit has been completed, and preliminary coal combustion runs have been made. Now in progress are laboratory-scale experiments to evaluate the corrosiveness of salts in a flue gas environment.
