Abstract

Cl is one of the main pollutants emitted from domestic waste incineration systems. In this study, we focused on the process of Ca dechlorination in the furnace of a circulating fluidized-bed waste incineration system. We analyzed the stability of CaCl2 and Ca in the furnace, the dechlorination process, and distribution of Cl in the incineration system. The results show that the optimal Ca/Cl molar ratio for Ca dechlorination in the circulating fluidized-bed waste incinerator is 2:1; moreover, the dechlorination product CaCl2 was found to decompose at high temperatures (> 850 °C). At temperatures > 700 °C, we measured CaCl2 decomposition rates up to 80%. Ca was added in the furnace, mainly to provide a dechlorination Ca source for the decomposition of limestone into tail flue gas. The amount of Ca2+ in the flue decreased gradually, parallelly to the temperature of the flue gas. Stable CaCl2 was formed after HCl was captured, and relatively small solid particles appeared in the ash collecting bag.
