The effects of water vaporand C02 on the sintering rate of nascent calcium oxide were measured as a function of partial pressure and temperature using CaO prepared by rapid decomposition of CaC03 and Ca (OH) 2. Each gas strongly catalyzed the sintering process, and their combined effects were additive. The model formulated by German and Munir, which describes surface area reduction by a single mechanism, is empirically modified to account for catalytic effects of the gas phase. Although multiple sintering mechanisms are apparently operative in the presence of C02 and/or H20, the empirical model correlates isothermal surface area reduction as a function of time over the temperature range 380-1150 C and partial pressures of 39 Pa to 15 kPa. Porosity reduction was also accelerated by the presence of H20 or C02 in the sintering atmosphere. In an atmosphere of simulated flue gas, porosity reduction followed theCoble logarithmic law during sintering at 800, 900, and 1000 C with induction periods of 6, 4.5, and 2.7 s, respectively, for the onset of particle shrinkage. A coupling of the sintering model with a sulfation model that accounts for the effects of surface area allows the prediction of S02 capture efficiencies in boiler furnaces by Ca (OH) 2 injection.In an effort to minimize the cost of flue gas desulfurization andincrease the range of options available to industry for pollution control, several processes based on the injection of limestone-derived sorbents are being evaluated. This approach appears to be the most effective one for application to existing plants because of its relative ease of retrofit. Several alternative sorbents andmodes of injection are under trial; the one of interest here is injection into thefurnace at temperatures up to 1230 C where the particles calcine and the CaO reacts with S02 during the short residence time (ca. 2 s) before the temperature cools and reaction ceases. Successful application of this process to boilers of varied design, each operating at different conditions, requires a predictive model that accounts for the rate processes involved. Prior work has shown that the calcination of small CaC03 particles produces a nascent CaO of high initial surface area (Borgwardt, 1985) and that the S02 reaction rate of this CaO is strongly related to its specific surface area (Borgwardt and Bruce, 1986) when the particles are sufficiently small to minimize pore dif-fusion resistance.
