A fluidized bed reactor model, the large particle fluidized bed model (LPFBM), has been developed in order to predict the performance of a fluidized bed reactor, which operates at low-to-medium {mu}{sub 0}/{mu}{sub mf} ratios ({mu}{sub 0}/{mu}{sub mf} = 2--5) in the presence of large particles. The LPFB model was applied to simulate a pilot-plant unit of the dry regenerable process of SO{sub 2} removal from flue gases, over a wide range of operating conditions. The conversions predicted by the model fit the experimental data reported in the literature satisfactorily. The LPFB model was used to study the effects of the solid sorbent composition and particle size on SO{sub 2} conversion. From the simulation, it can be concluded that SO{sub 2} sorbents containing 5 wt % or less of Cu, Na, Fe, Ce, Co, or Ni could be well considered for industrial applications.
