Support studies in fluidized-bed combustion. Quarterly report, April-June 1979

Abstract
This work supports the development studies for atmospheric and pressurized fluidized-bed coal combustion. Laboratory and process development studies are aimed at providing needed information on limestone utilization, removal of particulates and alkali metal compounds from the flue gas control of SO/sub 2/ and trace pollutant emissions, and other aspects of fluidized-bed coal combustion. This report presents information on: (1) the removal of particulate emissions from pressurized fluidized-bed combustion flue gas using a commercially available high-efficiency cyclone (TAN-JET), and (2) the results of laboratory and process development unit studies to determine the effects of CaCl/sub 2/, Na/sub 2/CO/sub 3/, NaCl, and H/sub 2/O treatments on increasing the utilization of limestone.
