The effect of H2O on the sulfation of Havelock limestone under oxy-fuel conditions in a thermogravimetric analyser

Abstract

A gas mixture representing oxy-fuel combustion conditions was employed in a thermogravimetric analyser to determine the effect of water vapor and SO2 concentration on limestone sulfation kinetics over the temperature range of 800 to 920 degrees C. Here, experiments used small samples of particles (4 mg), with small particle sizes (d(p)
