38 Fundamental question in attempt to explain the reduction of SO2 Reduction of SO2 under oxy-coal combustion conditions - Could this observations due to 2 competing phenomena in the furnace and in the convective section??? High htemperature t sulfation of fthe ash h( (as proposed dby Okazaki et. al.) - which could be in agreement base on the data of IFRF (APG2 Trials). Sulfur capture in ash at convective section enhanced by higher SO3 formation, higher deposition rate and lower carbon in ash

45 Oxy-Combustion: o KEY ISSUES S SO3 issue is a big missing link! (4 years ago) ANL study (1985) have indicated that SO3 formation is 3 to 5 times greater as compared to conventional air firing mode We need to know more about the potential From Chemical Engineering Progress (Vol. 70) operational issue

51 Ash Related Issue Data from the trials taken by: MBEL (Doosan Babcock), Air Products, Ulster University and Naples University (1995) 51

52 Summary SO2/SO3 and Sulphur in Ash (1) Capture of sulphur in ash at the furnace section is primarily due to the high temperature direct sulphation mechanism as suggested by Okazaki et. al. (2001) as shown in their experimental results. This is pretty much in agreement to the in-flame SO2 measurements done by IFRF during their APG2 trials. Okazaki et. al. suggested that this is due to promotion of capture of sulphur by CaO species and the inhibition of the decomposition of CaSO4 This mechanism is further supported from the results of IVD Stuttgart (Maier et. al.) and Imperial College (Wrigley et. al.) indicating the occurrence of both carbonation and sulphation in the ash collected from oxy-coal combustion trials. This could indicate that equilibrium reactions promoting the formation of CaCO3 and CaSO4 are probably favoured (or highly enhanced) under CO2 rich environment. These results established the feasibility of using in-furnace SO2 reduction by using Ca(OH)2 or CaO injection. 52

53 Summary SO2/SO3 and Sulphur in Ash (2) Additional sulphur capture in ash could also be promoted by increased formation of SO3. It should be recognised that both results s from ANL-EERC and IVD Stuttgart confirms that SO3 formation is higher (about 4-5 times in terms of mass SO3 emissions per unit energy input) as compared to air fired case. However, it is not yet clear if level of recycled SO2 has it impact to the level of SO3 formation. Capture of sulphur by this mechanism would occur along the flue gas path (during the convective section) as shown in the results by IVD- Stuttgart. o Furthermore, IVD-Stuttgart results indicated that the higher the level of SO2 are recycled, the capture efficiency of sulphur in ash is more efficient. o Nonetheless, it should be noted that that this observation in sulphur capture efficiency is coal dependent. 53

54 Summary SO2/SO3 and Sulphur in Ash (3) Results from Marrier and Dibbs (1974) further support the observations made by IVD Sttuttgart: maximum conversion of SO2 to SO3 would occur around o C. Capture of sulphur in ash could be dependent on the concentration of CaO and MgO in the ash. (This could probably be one of the reasons why capture efficiency of sulphur becomes coal dependent) Iron oxides could enhanced the formation of SO3 therefore promoting the capture of sulphur in the ash at the convective section. (This could probably be one of the reasons why capture efficiency of sulphur becomes coal dependent). Carbon in ash could diminish the efficiency in the capture of sulphur in ash. This is supported by various studies indicating a lower carbon in ash during oxy-coal combustion trials (IHI, IFRF, ANL-EERC) showed a lower SO2 emissions (i.e. higher degree of sulphur capture in ash). A higher carbon in ash by E.ON UK experimental results indicated a nearly similar SO2 emissions to the air fired case. Higher ash deposition rate under the wet RFG trials could also promote higher sulphur capture in the convective section. This should be further validated! 54

58 Burner Development for Oxyfuel Combustion Burners are critical to combustion, emissions, and thermal efficiency / capacity of the utility boilers Critical importance to burner development is a full scale testing This is an important exercise to establish reference data that could be used in the development and validation of different modeling tools. This is also to gain experience in operating full scale burner. (i.e. start up/shut down, flame stability, efficiency, heat transfer, fouling and slagging, etc )
