Alkali metal vapor removal from pressurized fluidized-bed combustor flue gas. Quarterly report, April-June 1982
This work supports the program to develop methods for cleanup of combustion gases from pressurized fluidized-bed coal combustors (PFBC) so that the cleaned gases can be used to power downstream gas turbines without causing corrosion. A simulated PFBC flue gas was used to characterize diatomaceous earth for NaCl-vapor sorption at a bed temperature of 905/sup 0/C and a system pressure of 10 atm absolute. The capture of NaCl vapor was found to be essentially a combined result of a chemical reaction that converts the vapor into condensed sodium sulfate and chemical reactions that transform the captured sodium into water-insoluble silicate compounds. In sorption performance studies, 99.1% NaCl-vapor capture efficiency was achieved by a 12.7-cm-long bed tested for 8-h duration in a gas stream containing an average NaCl-vapor concentration of 28 ppmV. This efficiency significantly dropped, to 95.3%, when the NaCl-vapor concentration was decreased by an order of magnitude.
