摘要
For energy conservation and emission reduction, a spouted bed reactor using activated semi-coke particles to remove SO2 from flue gases was studied. The behavior of a gas-solid flow in the spouted bed was simulated by using the Euler-Euler two-fluid modeling approach, incorporating a kinetic-frictional constitutive model for dense assemblies of the particles. The developed model of a heterogeneous reaction considering the effect of the concentration of activated semi-coke was also used to predict the rate of desulfurization in the spouted bed. The distribution of SO2 and overall flow patterns including a stable spout region, a fountain region, and an annular down comer region within the spouted bed were obtained well. Then, the simulation results of different operating conditions were compared. The results show that the rate of desulfurization in the annular region is much higher, and the temperature of reaction along with the concentrations of O2 and H2O in flue gases have a prominent effect on efficiency of desulfurization. The humidity in the flue gas was increased by 4% and the efficiency of desulfurization was increased by 20% or so. Such research verifies that the efficiency of desulfurization in the spouted bed will be enhanced by proper elevation of the reacting temperature, the concentrations of O2, and humidity in flue gases.
