                                     INTRODUCTION
      This investigation, conducted under Contract No. PH 86-67-115, is concerned with
some of the fundamental aspects of the reactivity of limestones and dolomites with SO2-
Work done under the first segment of this program has been reported in the Summary
Report* dated August 30, 1968.   The purpose of the current work was to extend the mea-
surements of the rate of reaction of several lime stone-based materials with SO2 under
varied conditions  of SO2 concentration, temperature,  particle  size, and solid composi-
tion so  as to develop further understanding of the nature of physicochemical processes
that are important to utilization of limestone as  an agent for SO2 removal from flue gas.
This Summary Report covers work done on the program during the period July 1, 1968,
through February 28,  1969.
                                        SUMMARY
Experimental Results

      The reaction of SO2 with limestones, dolomites, and limes was studied under sim-
ulated boiler conditions with the dispersed-phase reactor.** This  reactor provides for
injection of limes or stones into a flue-gas stream.  As in the  case of injection into a
power boiler, the particles are dispersed in the gas;  also,  as  in a boiler, the samples
are near room temperature when injected,  and must heat up (and calcine in  the case of
raw stones) before reacting with the SO2  present.  Conditions differ from those in a
boiler in that the walls are kept hot to maintain relatively constant gas temperature, and
the samples are small compared with the amount of gas so that the SO2 level remains
essentially constant.

      For the experiments conducted, gas temperatures were between 1300  and 2100°F
and residence times were from 0.  1 to 0. 5 seconds at 2100°F and from 0. 4 to 2. 1 seconds
at the lowest temperature.  The highest calcium utilization observed under the conditions
employed was about 27 percent. In general, the reaction with  raw stones is

characterized by incomplete calcination within all but the longest residence times at the
highest temperatures when  -140 + 200 U. S. Standard mesh stone is used.   Concurrent
with the calcination process is the formation of calcium sulfite and calcium sulfate.  It
was found that sulfite is the predominant form of sulfur at short  residence times and that
the fraction of sulfur present as sulfite can be correlated with the degree of calcination.

      A study of the  effect of particle size on the apparent rate of reaction at  1900°F and
0. 5  second for two limestones, Nos. 1683 and 1373*, and two dolomites,  No.  1337 and
Basic  Chemicals, Inc. , dolomite, suggested an  inverse relationship between  size and
reactivity as average particle size was varied from 130 to about 50 microns.  With
smaller particles (down to 5 to 10 microns),  the results were somewhat erratic, but no
significant further increase in reactivity was apparent.  This trend can be explained at
least partly on the basis  of the rate  of heatup of  the particles and the nature of the initial
chemical reactions.

      Investigation of the effect of SC>2 concentration on the apparent reaction rate of
No.  1359 and the Basic Chemicals dolomite at 2000°F and 0. 12 second showed reactivity
increasing with concentration up to about 0. 1-0.  2  volume percent SC>2 but no significant
increase in reactivity at  higher concentrations.  It is believed that this  observation can
also be explained  in  terms of transport processes.

      The current results suggest that the hydrated limes may have a peak  reactivity in
the neighborhood of 2000°F.  For No.  1337,  a dolomite, the dihydrate is the most reac-
tive form in the temperature range studied,  with the order of reactivity being dihy-
drate > raw stone > monohydrate > burnt lime.   For No.  1359, a high-purity limestone,
the order of reactivity is raw stone  > hydrate > burnt lime.

      Apparent activation energies for SC>2 reaction, obtained from Arrhenius plots of
the data, ranged from about 11 to about  28 kcal/mole for the various stones and burnt
limes  studied. **  Because of the complexity of the reaction process, and because gas
temperatures rather than the unknown reaction temperatures are used in the Arrhenius
plots,  the activation-energy values obtained should not be considered as indicative of
any specific chemical or physical processes, but rather as overall trends in the  data.
Conclusions and Recommendations

      The overall reaction between raw stones and SC>2 in the reactor follows a complex
path, the nature of which is due in part to the slow heatup of stone particles as a result
of the thermal requirements for calcining the stone.  Sulfite formation is the primary
mode of sulfur pickup during the early stages of the process, during which time the stone
is still  relatively cool.  In later stages of the process,  as  the stone heats up to temper-
atures above the thermodynamic limit for sulfite existence  (about 1400°F), the sulfite
can calcine and sulfur is lost from the particles.  Concurrent with these steps, the sul-
fite can be oxidized and/or disproportionate to form sulfate and sulfide.   The net result,
however, is a maximum in sulfur  pickup during  the first second of exposure  in the
reactor.  The time  required for attainment of this maximum and the magnitude
of the maximum pickup are likely to depend upon  factors which influence the
 "Stone numbers used in this report are those used by NAPCA and other NAPCA contractors.

heatup time and the rate of oxidation or disproportionation, e.g. , particle  size, injec-
tion temperature, oxygen pressure,  the duration of exposure at a given temperature,
and the details of the physical state of the lime formed during the calcination step.  If,
for example,  injection in a boiler is made at very high temperatures (» 2300°F) and  in a
region of the boiler where temperature does not change rapidly with time,  then heatup,
calcination, and  sulfite formation and decomposition might take place within such a short
time scale that the maximum in the sulfur pickup curve might be undetectable and rela-
tively unimportant  in the overall process.  On the other hand, if injection in the boiler
is made near  the superheater section where the gas temperature begins to  drop off very
rapidly, calcination may not be complete within the time available,  and sulfite may be
the principal product of sulfur pickup.  However, this effect would be reduced with the
use of very small particles because of their rapid heatup.

      The results of the current work provide at least a qualitative  understanding of the
overall reaction  trajectory of the  limestone-SO2 reaction and a possible connection
between the results of the  relatively long-term experiments  carried out by NAPCA and
others and the short-term exposure in the dispersed-phase reactor or in a boiler.  A
detailed set of recommendations directed toward further clarification of the limestone -
SO2 reaction has been submitted to NAPCA.  In essence,  on the basis of the results
obtained in this program,  it is  recommended that consideration be given to a detailed
fundamental study of the calcination and SC>2 reaction for  short residence times such as
would be encountered in a  boiler,  with the goal of elucidating the importance of heat
transport,  mass  transport, and chemical reaction rate to  the overall sequence of events
occurring when limestone  is injected into flue gas.
                             EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS
      In the current series of experiments,  study of the reaction between limestone-
based materials and SC>2 was continued using the dispersed-phase reactor.  Results of
the previous work, along with details of construction and operation of the reactor are
given in the Summary Report dated August 30,  1968.  A brief description of the reactor
also is presented in Appendix A.  In this reactor, sized particles of  stone, burnt lime,
or hydrated lime are injected into a nearly isothermal stream of flue gas and are trans-
ported by the gas stream to a collection probe, whence they are withdrawn from the flue
gas for chemical analysis.  Residence time in the reactor is determined by probe spacing
and gas-stream velocity.  The samples are small compared with the volume of gas to
which they are exposed, so the particles encounter essentially constant SC>2 concentra-
tion throughout the run.  The nominal gas temperature  reported for the reaction is that
on the  centerline at a point midway between the injection and collection probes.


                          Materials  Preparation and Analysis


Particle Sizing

      For the most part, the samples of stones and limes used in this  study were
-140 + 200 U. S. Standard mesh,  obtained by grinding and sieving bulk samples provided

-------
by NAPCA.  For the particle-size study,  the three larger sizes,  -100 +  120,  -140 + 200,
and -270 + 325 U. S. Standard mesh,  were sieved with wire-mesh screens.  For the
three smaller sizes, 20-40, 10-20, and 5-10 microns, electroformed screens were
used.
Calcination and Hydration

      Specimens were calcined in a laboratory rotary kiln under conditions specified by
the Sponsor:  2 hours at 1800°F in flowing nitrogen.   A  stainless steel kiln, lined with
pyrophillite (a refractory ceramic)  to prevent reaction  of the limes with the metal-oxide
surface of the kiln,  was used for the calcination.  The  same kiln was used with a Pyrex
liner for preparing the hydrated limes.   A schematic drawing of the hydration apparatus
is shown in Figure 1.

      Conventional laboratory procedures for hydration of limes involve addition of
liquid water to the lime.  Because of the strongly exothermic nature of the reaction,
this type of hydration is normally quite violent and causes disruption of the burnt-lime
particles.   In the current work it was desired to retain original particle size so that
comparison of the reactivity of hydrated  limes with that of burnt limes could be made
without change in relative particle size.  The following procedure for hydration was
adopted.  The lime is  first heated to about 660°F and steam is admitted to the kiln at a
pressure of 1 atmosphere.  The temperature of the kiln is then allowed to decrease
gradually over a period of several hours to 230 to 250°F while steam is admitted contin-
uously. With this procedure,  the rate of hydration is kept low and disruption of the lime
particles is minimized. After completion  of the temperature program, dry nitrogen is
passed over the lime to remove any excess water from the kiln.   The resultant limes
are dry powders having approximately the  same particle-size range as  the original
stone, as  indicated by sieving, and  containing stoichiometric quantities of water, as
judged by thermogravimetric analyses of the products.  Because of the  resistance of
MgO to hydration, only the  calcium oxide portion of a lime is hydrated by this method.
However,  substantial fractions of the MgO in a dolomitic  lime can be hydrated by
increasing the steam pressure.  By maintaining  steam  pressure at 80 to 90 psi and lime
temperature at 300 to  320°F for 12 hours,  a sample  of dihydrated No. 1337 was prepared
in which 80 percent  of the MgO was hydrated.  This  material was used in experiments
with dihydrated lime.


Chemical Analyses

      Reacted specimens obtained from the dispersed-phase reactor were analyzed for
total sulfur, calcium,  and magnesium content, and selected  specimens  also were ana-
lyzed for sulfite  content.  Both calcium and magnesium were determined by atomic-
absorption photometry.  Total sulfur was determined as CaSO^.- 2H2O by the wet-
chemical method outlined in the Summary Report dated August 30, 1968.  An essential
step in this procedure is the oxidation of non-sulfate  sulfur to sulfate using hydrogen
peroxide.   Sulfite analysis was made by the same procedure, but the oxidation step was
not performed.  Instead,  the  solution of the reacted  specimen was swept with nitrogen
to remove SO2-  The remaining sulfate was then determined in the usual manner and the
sulfite content was obtained by difference.  The accuracy of  the method has not been
tested.  No analyses for sulfide were made.

      Analytical data for most of the limes were supplied by Bituminous Coal Research,
Inc. , and are given in Appendix B.  Two new stones used in the current work,  the Basic
Chemicals dolomite and the TVA (Colbert County) limestone, were analyzed for calcium
content by atomic-absorption photometry.  The burnt limes obtained from these stones
were found to contain 61 and 95 weight percent CaO, respectively.
                                Results and Discussion
      A complete listing of experimental conditions,  analytical results, calculated val-
ues of reactivity,  and percentage calcination for all runs made on this segment of the
program is given in Table C-l in Appendix C.  Data displayed in tables and figures
discussed below are abstracted from this table.  Mathematical procedures for calcula-
tion of reactivity and percent calcination are given in Appendix D.


General Characteristics of SC>2 Reaction

      All of the stones and limes  were reacted for three residence times at each of
several temperatures. At temperatures between 1500 and 2100°F the qualitative features
of the observed reaction trajectory were the same for all materials.  The total sulfur
content of samples exposed for the longest residence time at a given temperature was
lower than that found in the same material exposed for the intermediate residence
time.*  In  some cases, there was even less sulfur in the long-residence time samples
than in those exposed  for the shortest period.  That is, for all materials, a definite
maximum in sulfur pickup was observed within the range of  residence times used in the
reactor.

      It was also found,  for -140  + 200 mesh stone,  that calcination is generally  incom-
plete during the exposure in the reactor, except for experiments at the longest residence
times at the highest temperatures.

      Selected samples of several reacted stones  were analyzed for sulfite as well as for
sulfate content. The results of these measurements  are  shown in Table  1.  It can be
seen that sulfite is the predominant form of sulfur for runs made at the shortest  resi-
dence times and lowest temperatures,  whereas  sulfate is predominant only for longer
residence times at higher temperatures.  The presence  of sulfite at gas temperatures
above the thermodynamic stability point of the sulfite, about 1400°F, suggests that an
appreciable part of the residence time in the reactor is consumed before particle tem-
perature approaches gas temperature.  Figure 2, plotted from data in Table 1,  shows
that the fraction of the sulfur as  sulfite is also related to the degree of calcination, sug-
gesting either that one process controls the other or  that the rates of calcination and
sulfite formation are related through a common mechanism.
*For example, see Figures 8 and 9.

        FIGURE 2.  MOLAR PERCENTAGE  OF SULFUR OCCURRING AS SULFITE
                     AS A FUNCTION OF PERCENTAGE CALCINATION

       The following mechanism is  hypothesized as being consistent with  these general
experimental observations:

       (1)  The initial  temperature of a particle of stone injected into the  reactor
           is low relative to the temperature of the gas.

       (2)  The time required to heat a  particle essentially to  gas temperature
           is not negligible  compared with its total residence  time in the  reactor.
           The length  of this heating period depends partly upon the kinetics and
           heat of reaction of the  calcination process.   Thus,  for example, raw
           stone heats up more slowly than burnt lime because of the  endothermic
           calcination reaction.

       (3)  In calcination,  while the particle is still at  relatively  low temperature,
           SO2 begins  to react with the  lime forming calcium  sulfite,  which may
           gradually oxidize and/or disproportionate to CaSO4 and CaS. #   That is,
•The work of K. H. vanHeekandH. Juntgen (discussed at the Third Limestone Symposium, St. Petersburg, Florida,
 December 4-8, 1967) and of S. Sprung in Schriftenreihe der Zimentindustrie 31, 1-67 (1964), indicates direct reaction of
 SC>2 with uncalcined limestone.  However,  the conditions employed in their work were quite different from those in the work
 reported here, and the results cannot be directly related.

      (4) As the temperature of the particle continues to increase approaching
          gas temperature,  some of the sulfite  decomposes to yield SC>2 and
          free lime.  At the same time, disproportionation and/or  oxidation
          of the remaining sulfite may continue at an increased rate.

      (5) Once the particle achieves gas temperature (above the decomposition
          point of  the sulfite), the reaction continues at a new rate  with 803 and
          O2 to yield sulfate:

                              CaO + SO2 + 1/2O2 -*  CaSO4  .

      According to this hypothesis,  the initial reaction rate should  be essentially charac-
teristic  of formation of sulfite at reduced temperatures.  The total sulfur content may
then go through a maximum before  the characteristic high-temperature formation of
sulfate commences.  Work at NAPCA* and TVA**,  as well as earlier work at
Battelle***, has indicated lower rates of SO2 sorption than those reported here.  This
may be a result of the longer term  experiments employed in these studies;  the maximum
pickup point may have been passed  in the course of the experiments,  giving a lower
average rate.
Effect of SO2 Concentration

      The  effect of the concentration of SO2 in the flue gas on the apparent reaction rate
was studied using a limestone,  No. 1359, and the  Basic Chemicals dolomite (-140 + 200
U.  S. Standard mesh).  Exposure in the dispersed-phase reactor was at a mean gas
temperature of 2000°F for a residence time of 0. 12 second.  Concentrations of SO2 em-
ployed ranged from 100 ppm to about 6000 ppm; the amount of reaction at ,100 ppm was
too slight to be measurable.

      The  effect of changing concentration on the  reactivities of the two stones is shown
in Figures 3 and 4.  Data used in constructing these plots are taken from the Summary
Report of August 30,  1968, as well as  from the current data.  The behavior noted in
Figures  3  and 4 is at variance with the linear dependence indicated by the preliminary
data given in the above-mentioned Summary Report.  Although there is  considerable
scatter in  the data, it is clear that there is little  dependence on concentration except at
very low SO2 levels.  This fact is consistent with  the notion that the rate of  reaction is
not controlled by the  chemical reaction rate  or the rate of admittance of SO2 to the par-
ticle during the early reaction stages,  but rather depends upon  the availability of lime
for reaction,  i. e. , on the  calcination rate,  which  in turn may depend upon the rate of
heat transfer to the particle.

      It is emphasized that the dependence  shown in Figures 3 and 4 may not hold for
reaction at the longer residence times of interest in boiler operation but is indicative
only of the behavior during the initial portion of the reaction process.  In fact,  studies
of SO2  sorption at longer residence times have indicated a first-order dependence on
SO2 concentration. *


Effect of Particle  Size

      A study of the effect of particle size on the apparent rate of reaction of two lime-
stones, Nos.  1373 and 1683,  and two dolomites, No.  1337 and the  Basic Chemicals
dolomite, was carried out in the reactor  at a gas temperature of 1900  F with a residence
time of 0. 5 second.   Particle sizes used  were 125-149, 88-105, and 44-53 microns
(-100 + 120, -140  + 200, and -270 +  325 U.  S.  Standard mesh) and 20-40, 10-20,  and
5-10 microns.  For the four larger sizes noted, the sample injector used was the same
as was  used with all other runs made in the reactor.** However,  this injector could not
be used with the two smaller sizes because of agglomeration of the particles.  A  special
injector,  shown in Figure  5,  was constructed for use with these small particles.   With
this injector, an appropriate amount of stone is placed in an airtight aluminum box
which communicates  with the reactor inlet  through  a short aluminum tube.  The box is
vibrated in line with the  tube and reactor inlet, causing the particles to  drift along the
tube into a small mixing chamber  wherein they are picked up by a  stream of nitrogen
and blown into the  reactor.  Rates of injection can be varied reliably through alteration
of the amount of stone in the box and variation of the amplitude of vibration.

      The effect of particle size on SC>2 pickup for the two limestones and two dolomites
examined is shown in Figures 6 and  7.  Contrary to preliminary estimates  of the
particle-size dependence***, the rate of  reaction is not simply inversely proportional
to particle size.  This type of dependence may be a limiting case for the larger particle
sizes,  as indicated by the  points for the three  larger  particle  sizes on Figures 6  and 7,
but with the smaller sizes there seems to be little or no dependence on size.   It is also
noted that there  is considerable  scatter in the  data, particularly for the  dolomitic
stones.  With these materials,  especially No.   1337, extensive fragmentation was
observed to accompany calcination of particles in the size range of -140 + 200 mesh.  It
may be that fragmentation is less  pronounced with smaller particle sizes and that the
size of particles actually taking part in the  reaction with SC>2 was essentially independent
of initial size.  However,  the limestones also  show a leveling off of reactivity at  the
smaller particle sizes.  Aggregation of the smaller particles  into  clusters  may also be
a factor.

      These data for  the effect of particle size on apparent rate  of reaction are consis-
tent with the sulfite-formation model discussed earlier.   For  smaller particles the rate
of heatup should be greater than that of the  larger particles,  so  that, for a given resi-
dence time, the  smaller particles should be further along  their respective reaction tra-
jectories.   Thus,  the failure of the smallest particles to have high reactivity may indi-
cate that they are  further down the desorption side  of the  reaction  curve.  Possibly, their

  Florida,  December 4-8,  1967) and by the work of R. C. Attig (Progress Report, December 10, 1968, Contract No.

reactivity would be greater than that of the larger particles for the longer residence
times which would be used in a boiler, i. e. ,  after SO£ desorption has been completed
and sulfate  formation has become the dominant mode of sulfur pickup.
Effect of Chemical State of Stone

      The question exists as to whether or not more efficient scrubbing of the SO2 from
flue gas can be achieved by injecting burnt or hydrated lime instead of raw stone.  To
explore this question,  two stones were exposed in the reactor in different chemical
forms at temperatures of 1500 to 2100°F.   For limestone No.  1359, the reactivity of the
burnt lime and hydrate was compared with that of the raw stone.  For dolomite No. 1337,
both the monohydrate and the dihydrate were studied,  along with the burnt lime and raw
stone.  Special procedures outlined in the section on materials preparation were used to
insure that the initial particle size was not a variable in these studies.

      Figures  8 and  9 illustrate the results obtained at 2000°F.  Qualitatively similar
results were obtained at other temperatures.  Regardless of residence time, the follow-
ing order of reactivities was observed:*

      Dolomite reactivity: dihydrate > raw stone > monohydrate > burnt lime
      Limestone reactivity:  raw stone > hydrate > burnt lime.

      Scatter in the data does not permit quantitative conclusions on the relative efficacy
of the various  forms.  However, over the temperature range used, the best materials
were clearly the raw limestone  and the dihydrate and raw stone in the case of the dolo-
mite.  Burnt lime was definitely inferior in both cases. A factor which may be partially
responsible for the low ranking  of the burnt lime is that this material was prepared by
calcination for a. long period of time - two hours at  1800°F - conceivably causing some
sintering of the lime.  The reason  for the improved reactivity of the hydrates is not
known;  it may  be related to the fact that the carbonate and hydrate have different crystal
structures so that the CaO formed  by calcination may,  at least temporarily, have differ-
ent structure or porosity in the  two cases. With the  dihydrate, there may be some addi-
tional fragmentation which occurs upon calcination,  thus resulting in higher reactivity
than for the raw dolomite, but no information concerning this point is available.

      The data for the hydrates  suggest a  possible maximum in reactivity at about
2000°F.   However, because of scatter in the data, the existence of a maximum cannot be
established with certainty.


Effect of Temperature

      The apparent reaction  rate,  i.e. ,  the amount of SO2  pickup per unit time, was
determined at  temperatures between 1300 and 2100°F for the  various  stones and limes
examined in this program.  Because of the complexity  of the  overall  reaction process
during exposure in the reactor,  a true specific rate  constant cannot be determined within
"Zentgraf, op. cit., found the order to be calcium hydrate > dolomite monohydrate > raw limestone > burnt lime (high calcium)
 for injection into a boiler at about 2100 F, but the ranking appeared to change with injection temperature.  Also, his particle
 size was not the same for all specimens.

the limits of current understanding of the reaction process.  Also, particle tempera-
tures and, hence, true reaction temperatures probably are not well approximated by the
mean gas temperature in the  reactor.  To the contrary, the actual reaction temperature
undoubtedly varies considerably within the span of an exposure.  If, as suggested above,
the controlling mechanism in the overall process is heat transfer to and within the par-
ticles, the use of an Arrhenius-type equation, which applies strictly only to activated
processes,  is not entirely correct.  However, Arrhenius plots are a convenient means
for organizing the reaction-rate data and may provide useful comparisons of the reac-
tivities of various materials.

      Figures 10 and 11 show examples of Arrhenius  plots, with lines fitted by least-
square analysis, which were  made for the various materials studied on this program,
with the exception of the hydrates. (Plots for the remaining materials are presented in
Appendix E. )  As indicated above,  the latter materials tend to display a maximum in
reactivity as a function of temperature and, hence, cannot be approximated by an expo-
nential relationship.  Because of the complexity of the residence time-sulfur pickup
relationship, three apparent rate  curves, one for each residence time, were plotted for
each temperature.   These are identified in the figures by the  subscripts S, M, and L,
referring to short, medium,  and long residence times.  Apparent activation energies,
in kilocalories per mole, also are indicated in the figures for short, medium,  and long
residence-time  data.  It is not intended that these energies should be taken as an indi-
cation of any specific physical or  chemical processes  but rather that they show approxi-
mate  overall trends in the data.  In fact, it may be noted that, almost without exception,
the experimental data are fitted better by curves concave downward than by  straight
lines.  In most cases, the apparent activation energies for the short and medium resi-
dence times are within the probable error limits of each other,  and the long-residence-
time energies are slightly lower,  suggesting that the  sulfur pickup might be governed by
one process up to the neighborhood of the maximum in the pickup curve, and that other
processes  such as  calcination and  oxidation of the sulfite  may be more influential in
determining the temperature  dependence during the later  stages  of the  reaction.

      The apparent activation energies range from 11  to 15 kcal/mole for  No.  1683 and
the burnt limes  to 24-28 kcal/mole for the other limestones and  dolomites.  The latter
values are in agreement with the 28 kcal/mole previously reported for the reaction of
No. 1359.  The  low values for the  burnt limes are consistent with the fact that calcina-
tion is not required with these materials, so that the  overall thermal requirements for
the burnt limes  should be lower.  However, the low apparent activation energies for
No. 1683 are not consistent with the values obtained for other raw stones.  This may be
related to the fact that No.  1683 is an aragonite rather than a calcite as are the other
limestones.

      It should be noted that the activation energies of raw stones indicated above are
appreciably higher than those previously reported (12  to 17 kcal/mole) under Contract
No. PH 86-68-84,  Task 11, for a special series of high-purity limestones being
screened for the full-scale TVA dry-limestone injection tests (see Appendix F).  In the
latter case, the size of particles examined was  20-40  microns,  considerably smaller
than the -140 + 200 mesh material used in the current tests.  If, indeed,  heat transport
is an  important  factor in determining the overall reaction rate,  it might be expected that
the apparent thermal requirements would decrease as particle size  is decreased since
the rate of convective heat transfer per unit area increases with decreasing particle size
for these small  particles.

                              Recommended Future Work
      Results obtained during the current contract period have indicated that, when
limestone particles are  injected into a hot flue gas stream under nearly isothermal con-
ditions,  certain time factors become important.   Heat-up and calcination of the particles,
for example,  require  exposure to the hot gases for several tenths  of a second.  During
part of this time,  the  temperature of the lime shell which is formed is low enough, that
SC>2 can  be  absorbed to form calcium sulfite.   The sulfite can,  in turn,  either dispropor-
tionate or be oxidized to yield  calcium sulfate.  As the calcination process continues,
the temperature of the lime  shell rises to a point  at which the calcium sulfite begins  to
calcine.  As a result,  the particles undergo a net loss in sulfur content during the later
stages of calcination and heat-up.  After this initial series  of processes, the fully cal-
cined particles may be expected to continue to  pick up sulfur  at a rate characteristic of
the formation of calcium sulfate.

      In  a boiler,  where gas temperatures drop off very rapidly between, say, 2300 and
1500°F,  the heat-up and calcination problem is likely to be  accentuated  over  that ob-
served in nearly isothermal experiments.  It is,  therefore, highly important that the
nature of the physical  and chemical processes  occurring during heat-up and calcination
be thoroughly understood so that valid  extrapolations from the pilot experimental work
to boiler performance can be made.  It is implicit that this understanding should be based
upon the  following factors;

      (1)  The rate of  heat transport to and within a limestone particle

      (2)  The rate of  mass transport to,  from, and within the particle

      (3)  The rates of the chemical processes occurring within the particle:

          (a)  Calcination
          (b)  Formation and decomposition of  sulfite
         (c)  Formation of sulfate.

      The program outlined below is suggested as a logical route for gaining insight into
the above factors.  It  is recommended that the work be performed with  a single well-
defined limestone,  with  the purpose of developing understanding of the mechanics of the
overall process.

      The program would be conducted in a dispersed-phase reactor of  the type used to
date.  However, because of the need for obtaining longer residence times and higher tem-
peratures than are currently possible,  a new dispersed-phase reactor would be required.
This reactor would be approximately twice as long as  the existing  one,  so that residence
times  of about 2 seconds could be achieved at  1800°F,  and would be constructed of mate-
rials to permit operation up to about 2500°F.  It would also be necessary to construct an
appropriate calciner and preheater.

      The recommended program is  as follows:

      (1)  Conduct preliminary experiments to  establish qualitatively the effect
         of oxygen and  nitrogen oxide  content  of the flue gas  on the reactivity
         of limestone with

-------
                                 21 and 22

(2)  Study the  course of the reaction of raw limestone with respect to cal-
    cination,  sulfite formation,  and sulfate formation as a function of
    temperature.

(3)  Study the  course of the reaction of precalcined stone with SC>2 with
    respect to sulfite  and sulfate formation.  The  stone would be  calcined
    under conditions simulating those in the dispersed-phase reactor.

(4)  Study, the  calcination rate in the reactor, using flue gas containing no
    s ulf ur.

(5)  Attempt to construct a mathematical model of the reaction system in
    terms of gas temperature, particle  composition, and time.

                            DISPERSED-PHASE REACTOR
      Figure A-l is a sketch of the dispersed-phase  reactor as shown in the previous
Summary Report dated August  30, 1969-  In the current work, the reaction section was
lengthened from 60 to 72 inches to allow for more versatility in operation, and a new
shell of 316 stainless steel was installed to reduce corrosion problems.  Not shown in
Figure A-l are radiation screens which were placed at the top and bottom of the reaction
section to reduce radiation losses and to smooth out  gas flow.

      Injection and collection of particles is made through the series of ports spaced
every 6 inches along the reaction section.   Probes for these operations are described in
the body of this report and in the previous Summary  Report.  In operation, the mean
gas temperature is determined with a multiple-shielded 10%Rh, Pt-Pt thermocouple
which is inserted midway between the injection and collection probes.

      Input gas-flow  rates to the  combustor are mete red by differential flow manometers;
the residence times of particles in the reactor can be determined from probe spacings
and gas velocities.  Reynolds numbers for the flue gas are determined from the mean
temperatures and the viscosity data  of Geiringer. *

      The uppermost ports of the reactor are also used for withdrawal of gas samples
for analysis.  Probes inserted  in these ports  lead directly to Orsat (for CO2 and 03) or
titration apparatus (for sulfur oxides).  Techniques used in these analyses are discussed
further  in the text of this report.

                                TREATMENT OF DATA
      Analytical data obtained on reacted samples are in the form of weight percentage
of CaSC>4' ZHzO, calcium and magnesium.  These data are transposed to more useful
forms as follows:
      Let
          y = weight fraction CaSC>4' 2H2O
          x = weight fraction calcium
          R = weight of CaO which has reacted with SC>2 per gram of sample
          U = weight of calcium compounds which have not reacted, expressed
              as CaO, per gram of sample
          z = fractional utilization of total calcium in sample
          g = weight of nonreactive material per gram of sample
          M = average molecular weight of unreacted CaO species
                     ,  CaO,  etc.)
          S = grams of 803 sorbed per gram of completely calcined stone
          C = fraction of CaCO3 which has been calcined.
For computational purposes,  it is assumed that
      (1)  Only CaO reacts with the SO2.
      (2)  Unreacted CaO is present as either CaO or CaCO3.
      (3)  The analyses  of calcined stones  obtained by Bituminous Coal
          Research, Inc., apply to currently used specimens (see Summary
          Report dated August 30,  1968).
      (4)  Any MgCO3 is completed calcined.
Then
          g = K(R + U),  where K can be calculated from the BCR data,         ( 1)
          y = R(17Z/56),                                                     (2)
and
                                x = (R+U)(40/56)  ;                            (3)
therefore,
                                z = (40/172)(y/x)                             (4)



-------
                                         D-2

and

                                 (80/56) R  _    80z
                                   R+U+g      56(1+K)    '                     ( '

Now

                             g = 1 - R(172/56) - U(M/56) ;                     (6)

using Equation (1) for g,  and solving Equations (2), (3),  and (4) for R and U in terms of
y and z,  Equation (6) can be rearranged to yield


                                ^ 172(l-y)  - 56K(y/z)
                                      Y/z - Y           '                      (?)

Then,  to evaluate the percent calcination,

      let p = the weight of CaO per gram of  sample which has not reacted

and

         q = the weight of CaCC>3 remaining in 1  gram of sample.

Thence,

                                    C= (R  + p)/(R + U)                       (8)

and M may be defined as

                               M= (p + q)/(p/56 + q/100)   .                   (9)

Since

                                 q = (U - p)(100/56) ,                        (10)

p may be evaluated in terms of U and M  :

                                  p  = (100-M)U/44 .                         (11)

Substituting the value of p from Equation (11) in Equation (8) yields

                                          R + U
But R/(R+U) = z and U/(R+U) = 1-z  .
Therefore,
                                         ' 100-M
                                                                            , , ,v
                                                                            (12)

-------
                                          D-3

      The calculated values of the fractional utilization of calcium, z, in the sample and
the 803 pickup, S, thus depend upon the measured quantities x and y in a way such that
minor inaccuracies in x, the calcium analysis,  affect the values of z and S more strongly
than do comparable inaccuracies in y, the sulfate analysis.   This  sensitivity to the
accuracy of the calcium analysis is accentuated in the  calculation  of percentage calcina-
tion because of the ratio of differences  involved in the  calculation  of M.   With dolomites,
in which there is less calcium to begin  with, the sensitivity to errors in analysis is
increased further.  As an example,  Figure D-l shows the calculated values of percentage
calcination as a function of weight percent calcium for a  relatively pure dolomite and a
relatively pure limestone at two levels  of sulfate content. It can be seen that the calcu-
lated value of percentage calcination for a dolomitic  sample is strongly dependent upon
calcium analysis, especially for low true calcination percentages.

      Examples of Arrhenius plots for the apparent rates of reaction of stones No. 10
and No.  11 are given in the main body of this report.  Arrhenius plots for the remaining
stones and limes studied during this contract period are shown in Figures E-l through
E-7 of this Appendix.   As stated in the text, apparent activation energies associated
with these plots cannot at this time be related to individual chemical or physical pro-
        but, rather, the plots serve as a convenient means of organization of the data.

                          INVESTIGATION OF TVA STONES
      The dispersed-phase reactor was used to study the SO2 sorption characteristics of
15 stones under consideration for use in full-scale boiler trials by TVA.  Analytical data
for the  stones are given in Table F-l.


                                  Screening Program


      The initial phase of this program was concerned with the screening of fifteen stones
supplied by NAPCA for the purpose of  selecting the five most promising materials for
use in a full-scale  demonstration of the dry-limestone injection process.  This initial
screening program was  carried out using a single set of reaction conditions - 0. 61 second
at 2000°F in simulated flue gas containing 0. 3 volume percent SO2-   The results of these
screening tests are shown in Table E-2.

      For most of the stones listed in Table 1, the calcium utilization was about 10 per-
cent and the 803 pickup  was in the range of 110 to 150 mg/g of calcine.   Nos.  2060,
2064, and 2069 had 803  pickups above  this range, and seem to be the best sorbents under
the conditions employed.  Nos. 2060 and 2069 also performed well in the fixed-bed tests
conducted by NAPCA, but No. 2064 was one of the poorest sorbents in the fixed-bed tests.
However, these tests were conducted under different conditions from those used by
Battelle, and relative performance may be a function of conditions used.

      Calculated values  of percent calcination of the reacted stones are also shown in
Table E-2.  These calculated values are quite  sensitive to minor variations in the accu-
racy of  the  analytical data, and values  of 90 to 110 percent probably should be considered
as indicating essentially complete  calcination.

      Because of the possible changes  in ordering of stone reactivities at temperatures
different from that used in the initial screening tests,  five stones were  selected for fur-
ther examination at other temperatures to  determine activation energies for the reac-
tivity of these materials.  This set of five  stones was composed  of the three outstanding
materials listed above plus two stones, Nos. 2061 and 2062, selected by NAPCA.


                                   Further Testing


      The essence of the hypothesized  model for the reaction mechanism discussed
earlier  in this report is that heat transfer  and/or mass transport controls the rates of
the two  endothermic reactions (calcination of carbonate and sulfite).   One consequence of
this mechanism is that total sulfur pickup can go through a maximum during the initial
portion  of the reaction trajectory,  as has been observed with samples run at different
residence times under Contract No. PH 86-67-115.

      This fact had an important bearing on the manner in which the five candidate stones
were tested for dependence of reactivity on temperature.   As test temperatures are
lowered,  the maximum pickup is  shifted to longer residence times.   To accommodate
this feature of the reaction trajectory, residence times were not held constant for runs
at the various temperatures,  but  were lengthened as the temperature was lowered.   Con-
sequently, it is believed that  the results represent similar portions of the pickup curve
and it is valid to compare results obtained at various temperatures.

      Test conditions, chemical analyses,  and calculated values of reactivity are given
in Table F-2.  Apparent rates of  reaction of the five stones at five temperatures are
summarized in Table F-3.  Arrhenius plots constructed from these data and apparent
activation energies obtained by a  least-squares treatment  of these rates are shown in
Figures F-l to F-5.  Errors indicated for the activation energies are most-probable
errors  obtained from the least-squares treatment.  In making these calculations, all
measured points were included in the computations except for the one pair of points
which are obviously in error  for No.  2060.  It must be recognized that the values
obtained are not true activation energies, since the temperatures plotted on the figures
are gas temperatures; actual reaction temperatures are not known.

      Two of the five stones,  Nos. 2064 and 2069, have high apparent activation energies
and would be logical choices for trial in a boiler, providing that long-enough residence
times could be achieved at higher temperatures.  However,  this may not be possible in
the boiler if injection is made at temperatures near 2300°F,  since gas temperature in  a
boiler drops off very rapidly  below this point.  If injection is made at about 2300°F,
No. 2060 might be a better  choice  since this material has relatively high reactivity over
a broad temperature range.

      The current work emphasizes the need for further development of means for re-
lating the results obtained in the dispersed-phase reactor to the performance of a stone
in a boiler.   In particular,  a model of the reaction system which takes  into account the
differences  in the thermal history of a stone particle in boiler and reactor environments
is needed.
