In this paper, porous alumina was used as an alternative bed material to reduce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission and improve the combustion efficiency during sewage sludge combustion in a fluidized bed combustor (FBC). To discover the reduction mechanism, the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, critical fluidized velocity, and heat-transfer coefficient of three bed materials (silica sand, alumina sand, and porous alumina sand) were characterized. In comparison to the conventional silica bed material, the reduction efficiencies of PAH emission and PAH total toxic equivalent (TEQ) by porous alumina bed material under 850 °C were 52.0 and 97.7%, respectively. Porous alumina bed material had more BET surface area than that of the conventional silica sand, which could adsorb gaseous hydrocarbon and prolong the residence time of hydrocarbon in the diluted zone of the FBC. At the same time, it was well-known that gaseous hydrocarbons were a precursor of PAHs. Thus, PAH formation was suppress...
