Studies on the reaction of calcined limestone with sulfur dioxide: Topical report, October 1985-September 1986

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7182089
The primary objective of this project, which constitutes a balanced program of theoretical and experimental work, is the development of a systematic procedure for the description of the sorptive capacity for SO/sub 2/ removal of a given limestone or dolomite starting from basic physical principles and experimental information. Our research chiefly focusses on the experimental and theoretical investigation of the effects of the initial pore structure of limestone or dolomite and of its evolution with the progress of the reaction on the transient behavior of calcined limestone or dolomite particles reacting in an environment of SO/sub 2/ and O/sub 2/. Particular attention is paid to the effects of the intraparticle mass transport process on the sorpting capacity of reacting limestone particles.
