An experimental investigation of the SO2 removal reaction by pure CuO was performed by thermogravimetry. In addition, mathematical modelling of this non-catalytic gas-solid reaction was performed using the random pore model. Modelling predictions of CuO conversion-time profiles at various temperatures and SO2 partial pressures compared well with the experimental results. The inherent rate constants and the product layer diffusivities were estimated between 400 and 600 °C.

In this work, the random pore model was modified for a general concentration dependency and also bulk flow effect, in order to predict the carbonation reaction of calcium oxide with carbon dioxide. This reaction is one of the main methods for carbon dioxide capture from industrial flue gases. Different kinetic rate concentration functions were tested with the various literature experimental data for finding the best reaction constants and rate functions. Moreover, an exponential function for the diffusion of carbon dioxide through the product layer was proposed from the whole experimental conversion-time profiles.

Abstract In this work, a modified random pore model was developed to study the kinetics of the carbonation reaction of CaO. Pore size distributions of the CaO pellets were measured by nitrogen adsorption and mercury porosimetry methods. The experiments were carried out in a thermogravimeter at different isothermal temperatures and CO2 partial pressures. A fractional concentration dependency function showed the best accuracy for predicting the intrinsic rate of reaction. The activation energy was determined as 11 kcal/mole between 550–700°C. The effect of product layer formation was also taken into account by using the variable product layer diffusivity. Also, the model was successfully predicted the natural lime carbonation reaction data extracted from the literature.

Abstract An experimental investigation of low temperature SO2 removal by porous sodium carbonate was carried out by thermogravimetry. As well as, applied mathematical modeling based on the random pore model was employed to kinetic study of this reaction. The experiments were performed at various temperatures (100-250 oC) and different SO2 concentrations (0.13-1.12 vol%). The initial slopes procedure was used to determine dependency of the reaction rate constants versus temperature. First-order kinetic with respect to gaseous reactant was found and value of activation energy was attained as 22.5 kJ mol-1. Product layer diffusion coefficients were evaluated by the best fitting of experimental data with the model predictions. These random pore model predictions indicated good agreement with experimental conversion-time data at various conditions. The resulted kinetic parameters were avail abled for engineering calculations of SO2 abatement from the coal-based power plants by low-temperature flue gas desulfurization.
