Experimental Research on Hybrid Strategy and Desulfurization for White Mud and Coal Slurry

Abstract

White mud is a kind of solid waste from the papermaking process, because of the high pH value and desulfurization material, it can be used as a desulfurization agent. Coal slury is the waste from the coal washing process and generally be used as fuel. This paper studies the hybrid method for white mud and coal slurry to be transported by pipeline, and the furnace desulfurization effect with the mixture. Rheological properties of coal slury and white mud was analyzed, and then based on the rheological data the coal slurry, white mud and water mixed strategy was obtained. By altering calcium sulfur ratio and operation parameters of boiler, fluidizing bed boiler desulphurization effect was tested with the mixture, the economic analysis was also performed through comparision of operational cost. The result shows that the proposed hybrid method is not only relatively simple, but also has the characteristics of good desulfurization effect, high desulfurization efficiency, and good economy. The study has important guiding meaning for desulphurization of coal slurry fluidized bed boiler.
