Desulfurization with a Modified Limestone Formulation in an Industrial CFBC Boiler

摘要

This work presents a practical result of experimental investigation of the limestone particle size effect on de-SO_x from a circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) boiler that burns domestic anthracite and is the first industrial scale in Korea. Because of combustion problems such as clinker formation, fine limestone has not been used as a desulfurization agent. The present test, however, showed that higher content (up to 50%) of the particles under 0.1 mm did not entail any malfunction in a modern CFBC system. In addition, the desulfurization efficiency was found to be comparable to the old mode of limestone sorbents.
