In larger combustion facilities, secondary reactions between char and chlorine and sulfur may be important. In this work, the interactions of chlorine and sulfur with biomass char during thermal conversion have been experimentally investigated. A laboratory-scale fixed-bed reactor was applied to study the capture of HCl and SO2 by biomass char in the temperature range of 400−950 °C. The observed reaction rate was sufficient for significant recapture of HCl and SO2 to occur under conditions typical for fixed-bed combustors. A maximum in the chlorine and sulfur retention existed at ∼600 °C. Relatively high amounts of chlorine and sulfur could be retained in the char samples over the entire temperature range, compared to the inherent chlorine and sulfur content in the biomass. Spectroscopic and chemical analyses revealed that HCl was mainly captured by the inherent metal species, whereas SO2 was mainly captured by the organic matrix. As a result, the maximum chlorine retention was dictated by the inherent me...
