Abstract
The objective of this investigation is to determine the kinetics of reactions involving partially sulfided dolomite and oxygen, which is needed for the design of the reactor system for the stabilization of sulfide-containing solid wastes from gasification of high sulfur coals. During this quarter, samples of the partially sulfided dolomite were reacted with oxygen in the fluidized-bed reactor at different operating conditions. The test parameters included the effects of solid residence time, sorbent particle size, and reaction pressure. The reacted solids were analyzed to determine the extent of CaS conversion to CASO{sub 4}. The results of these tests indicate that the rate of sulfation reaction increases with decreasing sorbent particle diameter and increasing pressure. Classical gas/solid reaction models, including the shrinking core model, the uniform conversion model, and the grainy pellet model, were applied to the experimental data of CaS sulfation. However, none of these models appears to be capable of predicting the measured CaS conversion with acceptable accuracy, indicating that these classical models should be modified to obtain better agreement between experimental and theoretical results.
