under which conditions sulfur species generated during the combustion of pulverized coal can be captured and retained by calcium containing sorbents. Two series of experiments were carried out: one in which any capture would take place primarily under oxidizing conditions and the other in which significant residence times in the rich zone would allow capture under reducing conditions. Under oxidizing conditions the thermal environment experienced by the sorbent particle appears to be the dominant parameter controlling sulfur capture. This is probably because of deadburning. If a sorbent particle's temperature exceeds a certain limit (which depends on the particular sorbent) the sorbent deadburns and loses its reactivity (4). The processes controlling capture and retention when the sorbent is maintained under reducing conditions for a prolonged time are more complex. The principle gas phase sulfur specie are HzS, SO2 and COS and, even though the sulfur species are absorbed the possibility that the sulfide will decompose during burnout exists. The data presented in Figure 6 shows a significant difference between the behavior of coal and propane doped with H2S. This difference can be attributed to: - With coal part of the fuel remains in the solid phase and for a given input stoichiometry the gas phase stoichiometry in the reducing zone is higher than with gas. Reference to Figure 1 indicates that the stability of calcium sulfide is strongly dependent upon stoichiometry ratio; - With coal up to 50 percent of the sulfur remains in the solid phase under rich conditions thus the gas phase concentration is lower than the corres- ponding concentration with propane as the fuel; - The conditions during burnout in the second stage will be different for the solid and gaseous fuels and this could affect retention of the sulfur during burnout. These tests indicate that there is the potential to remove greater than 50 percent of the input sulfur with Ca/S molar ratios of two when coal is burned under low NOx conditions. Further work is necessary to insure that the controlling conditions can be achieved in practical combustors and that the sorbent injection does not adversely impact combustor performance.
