Sewage sludge combustion experiments are carried out to investigate the effect of operating parameters on SO
2 capture and limestone utilization in a two-stage swirl-flow fluidized-bed combustor. Operating parameters investigated in the study are the Ca/S molar ratio, superficial gas velocity, bed temperature, air-fuel ratio, and particle size of limestone.
The experimental results show that the increase of the Ca/S molar ratio results in the increase of SO
2 capture, whereas it causes the decrease of the limestone utilization. The SO
2 capture tends to increase with the superficial gas velocity and total air-fuel ratio, but has a maximum value at a temperature of about 800°C. It is also noted that a smaller limestone size significantly enhances the SO
2 capture and the limestone utilization.
