Abstract
Under the conditions prevailing in in-situ desulfurization of fluidized bed combustion two types of limestone and two types of dolomite were tested for their reactivity with sulfur dioxide. Experimental variables were sorbent size, sulfur dioxide concentration and reaction temperature. In general reactivity increased with temperature with activation energy ranging 15.9 to 19.5kcal/mol for initial reaction rate. Reaction order with respect to sulfur dioxide was close to one and reactivity decreased with increase of sorbent size. With continuous feeding of coal and sorbent sulfur dioxide concentration in the effluent gas decreased with increase of Ca/S ratio.
