From the thermodynamic considerations on the reactions in the dry limestone injection Process, we described in the previous report that the sulfur oxide absorbtion will occure at below 1250°C.
In this reports, we investigated the effects of the reaction conditions on the sulfur oxides removals using the reaction tower type experimental apparatus. Their results are concluded as follows.
(1) The sulfur oxides removal incresaed proportionally to the amounts of injected limestone.
(2) The sulfur oxides removal decreased inversely with the one fourth to one third power of particle size.
(3) The Tokunoshima limestone was the most reactive limestones among the various kinds of them we investigated. Its reactivity was twice as much of the usual limestones in Japan.
(4) Almost the same sulfur oxides remals were obtained when the limestones were injected into combustion gases at the temperatures between 900-1, 200°C.
(5) The sulfur oxides removal increased proportionally with 0.3-0.5 power of sulfur dioxide concentration.
