Abstract
As a new treatment of sulfur retention in circulating fluidized bed, t he intraparticle diffusion of the gaseous reactant is examined based o n percolation on a Voronoi tessellation of polyhedra representing the porous structure of calcined limestone added to the bottom of a circul ating fluidized bed combustor. Model predictions on the effects of var ious operating conditions on sulfur retention efficiency are found to agree well with experimental data.
