Effect of Limestone Characteristics on In-Furnace Desulfurization under Hot Gas Combustion

석회석 분말을 이용한 노내 고온 건식 탈황 특성 연구

The effect of limestone characteristics on in-furnace desulfurization was experimentally investigated at hot gas combustion condition in a drop tube furnace (DTF). Flue gas was measured by Gas analyzer in order to figure out $SO_2$ content. The experiments were performed under excess sulfur 3000ppm condition to examine the effect of operating variables such as reaction temperatures, Ca/S ratios on the $SO_2$ removal efficiencies. The results show that the $SO_2$ removal efficiency increased with reaction temperature and Ca/S ratio increase. When considering the economics, $1200^{\circ}C$ and Ca/S ratio 2 condition is optimized to reduce $SO_2$ emission.
