Iron oxide (Fe203) is catalytic to the sorption of S02 by CaO in a chemical environment similar to that in fluidized-bed combustion of coal. Four percent by weight of Fe203 physically mixed with CaO approximately doubles the sorption (sulfation) rate. The kinetic mechanisms of the catalytic re-action are discussed based on the view that S03 formation is the rate-limiting step. Coal ash also catalyzes the sulfation reaction, and Fe203 appears to be the active constituent in such catalytic effects. Other iron-containing compounds ex-istent in coal and fluidized-bed combustion systems are oxidized rapidly inthe combustion gases to form Fe203 and in turn catalyze the sulfation reaction.In recent years, fluidized-bed combustion has been recog-nized as a promising and versatile technology for clean com-bustion of coal (1-3). One of the crucial factors in effecting this technology is a relatively high reactivity of the lime ad-ditive toward S02 to form calcium sulfate in the environment of the combustion gases. A significant amount of work has been done in the past to determine the effects of the reactivity of the variables under combustion conditions, such as tem-perature and concentration of S02 (4, 5), total pressure and rapidly changing atmospheres (6, 7), water vapor and oxygen partial pressures (8, 9), and the generic factorof the limestone (10).
