摘要
In this work, pollutant emissions in a continuous bubbling fluidized bed combustor (similar to 3 kW(th)) at oxy-firing conditions were measured. An anthracite coal was used as fuel and a limestone was added for sulfur retention. Flue gas recirculation was simulated by mixing different gases (CO2, SO2, steam, and NO) and the effect of varying the gas composition of the recycled flow on the pollutant emissions was analyzed. It was observed that the most important effect of CO2 recirculation was the increase of the optimum temperature for SO2 retention from similar to 850 degrees C (conventional air combustion) to 900-925 degrees C. SO2 recirculation increased the Ca-based sorbent utilization and did not affect the N2O emissions at any temperature. In addition, at 850 degrees C the CO emission increased and the NO emission decreased, however, at 925 degrees C the CO variation was negligible and the NO reduction was low. About 60-70% of the recycled NO was reduced to N-2 and N2O, being the NO converted to N2O lower than 5%. Steam recirculation mainly led to a sharp decrease in NO emission. A synergetic effect among the different recycled gases was not found in any case. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
