Abstract
To investigate the effects of the number of multiple-cycles and $SO_2$ concentration on $CO_2$ absorption characteristics by means of limestone, $CO_2$ capture capacity has been measured in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor (0.1m 1.D., 1.17m high). Danyang limestone was used as a $CO_2$ sorbent and the number of cycles $(\~10th\;cycle)$ and $SO_2$ concentrations (0, 2000, 4000 ppm) were considered as variables. The measured $CO_2$ capture capacity decreased as the number of cycles increased and it showed $50\%$ or initial value after 10 cycles. Moreover, $CO_2$ rapture capacity decreased with 501 concentrations. For three different $SO_2$ concentrations, the total CaO utilization was almost the same but $SO_2$ capture capacity increased and $CO_2$ capture capacity decreased as $SO_2$ concentration increased. These results suggest that $SO_2$ capture reaction is predominant over $CO_2$ capture reaction in the simultaneous $CO_2/SO_2$ capture conditions.
