Gravimelt process development. Quarterly technical progress report

OSTI ID:7022530

Results were obtained from the bench-scale Gravimelt reactor system which showed good agreement with laboratory-scale batch reactor results. In general the ash and sulfur removal objectives were met. It was found that coals such as Illinois No. 6 and Pittsburgh No. 8 have a greater tendency to foam at reaction conditions than either the Upper Freeport sample or the zinc chloride simulant. The mod II reaction concept should overcome the caustic level control problem that surfaced during operation of the first continuous reactor system.
