Trace Metal Capture by Various Sorbents during Fluidized Bed Coal Combustion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Toxic trace metallic elements such as arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, and selenium are usually contained in coal in various forms and trace amounts. These metals will either stay in the ash or be vaporized during high temperature combustion. Portions of the vaporized metals may eventually be emitted from a combustion system in the form of metal fumes or particulates with diameters less than 1 micron, which are potentially hazardous to the environment (1).

Effects of Secondary Air on So2 Emission in Circulating Fluidized Beds
Coal is a major energy source, and on the other hand coal is a source of pollution. Some of the important environmental issues related to use of coal in energy production are the release of sulphur dioxide (SO2). SO2 is a precursor to acid rain, responsible for atmospheric pollution and damage to human health. Therefore, investigations and development of technologies promising low SO2 emission ...
متن کاملArsenic and selenium capture by fly ashes at low temperature.
Arsenic and selenium compounds may be emitted to the environment during coal conversion processes, although some compounds are retained in the fly ashes, in different proportions depending on the characteristics of the ashes and process conditions. The possibility of optimizing the conditions to achieve better trace element retention appears to be an attractive, economical option for reducing t...
متن کاملCfd Analysis of Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion
In this paper computational analysis of circulating fluidized bed combustion using the fluent software is analysed. This work is concerned about gas–solid two-phase mixtures flowing upwards through the fast beds. The procedures studied are applicable to all types of fluidized-bed boilers. The type of information resulting from various ways of analyzing the pressure and temperature in fluidized ...
متن کاملReaction of CO, with Clean Coal Technology Ash to Reduce Trace Element Mobility
The combustion of coal in power plants generates solids (e-g., fly ash, bottom ash) and flue gas (e.g., SOX, C02). New Clean Air Act mandated reduction of SOX emissions from coal burning power plants. As a result, a variety of Clean Coal Technologies (CCT) are implemented to comply with these amendments. However, most of the CCT processes transfer environmentally sensitive elements (e.g., As, C...
متن کاملFluidized Bed Desulfurization using Lime Obtained after Slow Calcination of Limestone Particles
In this work we have tested the fluidized bed desulfurization performance of lime particles obtained by means of a proprietary limestone slow calcination pre-treatment technique. This performance was compared to that of the parent untreated limestone particles. The occurrence of particle fragmentation and attrition during the fluidized bed operation was also investigated with a specific test pr...
