In the evaluation of ceramic refractories for slagging gasifiers the preliminary measurements reported for the relative corrosion resistance of the magnesia-chromia refractories tested in Run 5 have been revised. Significant slag penetration (40 to 50 mm) was observed for all bricks in Run 5. A second-generation coal-feed-line elbow instrumented for erosive wear detection was installed in the Synthane Pilot Plant, and the first-generation elbow has been examined after exposure to 2.2 x 10/sup 6/ kg (approximately 2400 tons) of crushed coal conveyed. Laboratory and theoretical results suggest that a quantitative acoustic leak-detection system may be possible if the leakage flow is ''choked,'', i.e., the exit velocity from the leakage channel is sonic. This is likely to be the case for the relatively large leaks of interest in high-pressure lockhopper applications. Oxidation-sulfidation studies of Fe-Cr-8 wt % Ni alloys with 4, 12, and 22 wt % Cr were conducted at 750 and 875/sup 0/C in multicomponent gas mixtures that contained CO, CO/sub 2/, CH/sub 4/, H/sub 2/, and H/sub 2/S. The reaction processes resulted in parabolic kinetics. For a given sulfur partial pressure, the oxygen partial pressures required for the formation of a continuous oxide layer in an Fe-22 wt % Cr-8 wt % Ni alloy were approximately 10/sup 2/ and 10/sup 3/ times those calculated for Cr-Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/ equilibrium at temperatures of 875 and 750/sup 0/C, respectively.
