A development program on pressurized fluidized-bed combustion is being carried out in a process demonstration unit capable of operating at 10-atm pressure. The concept involves burning fuels such as coal in a fluidized bed of particulate lime additive that reacts with the sulfur compounds formed during combustion to reduce air pollution. The CaSO/sub 4/ can be regenerated to CaO that is recycled to the combustor for further removal of sulfur compounds. This report presents information on a 10-cycle combustion-regeneration experiment, an alternative regeneration process, preparation of synthetic SO/sub 2/-sorbents containing metal oxides, limestone characterization, studies of the enhancement of the sulfation of limestone by NaCl, and flue-gas particulate cleaning studies.
