Abstract
- A dry sorbent post-combustion CO 2 capture process using a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) was developed to a 10 MWe scale. Particle attrition is a major challenge for many CFBs owing to the loss of particles and increased operating costs. Furthermore, predicting and alleviating the rate of particle attrition in an entire CFB is difficult owing to limited information on attrition in the riser and cyclone. This study experimentally investigated particle attrition in risers and cyclones and the effect of system scale-up using CO 2 adsorbent particles used in a 10 MWe scale CFB. Experiments were conducted in two types of CFBs to measure the attrition rate in the riser and cyclone for 22 and 12 h for each experimental condition. To verify the scaled-up effect, internals were added to the riser to measure the effect of the surface-area-to-volume ratio. Correlations for the attrition rate of CO 2 adsorbent particles in riser and cyclone were proposed, and a model for the scale-up effect was suggested. In the 10 MWe scale system, particle attrition mainly occurred in the cyclone (58.0 %) and riser (37.3 %) according to the calculation, and the calculated overall attrition rate reasonably matched the operational data. Figure: (a) Calculated attrition rate of CO 2 adsorbent particles in the circulating fluidized bed of 10 MWe scale CO 2 capturing process, and (b) effect of cyclone inlet gas velocity on the particle attrition rate in cyclone. [Display omitted] • Particle attrition mainly occur in the cyclone and riser of a CFB. • Attrition rate in cyclone was proportional to the square of the gas velocity. • The top size of fines formed by attrition in riser increased with gas velocity. • Attrition rate in the riser increases by increasing surface area. • Correlation for particle attrition rate in the riser and cyclone are proposed.
