Xt. Li et al., MODELING SULFUR RETENTION IN CIRCULATING FLUIDIZED-BED - APPLICATION OF PERCOLATION THEORY, Progress in Natural Science, 6(1), 1996, pp. 69-74
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.
