The effects of possible operating variables such as flow rate, surface temperature, bulk temperature, solids contents, sulfate addition and pH on the fouling of sulfite spent evaporators were studied. The study pointed out that the Ca⁺⁺ concentration difference between heated surface and bulk is the most important factor for fouling...
Fume, sub-micron aerosal particles in the combustion gases, have been identified
as a cause of extensive plugging and fouling in the heat transfer section of a kraft
recovery boiler in kraft pulp mills. After the deposition on the heat transfer surface,
fume deposits will undergo the sintering process which causes...
Laminar entrained flow reactor (LEFR) was used to determine the effect of
temperature and residence time on the distribution of carbon, sulfur and nitrogen between
gaseous and condensed phase products from low temperature pyrolysis of kraft black
liquor. The operating furnace temperatures were between 400°C-600°C where the effect
of condensable...
Black liquor recovery boilers experience significant fire-side fouling problems due to the deposition of entrained particulate matter. Increased understanding of the mechanisms by which particles deposit on these surfaces will lead to more effective management of the resultant problems. There is some evidence which suggests that the sub-micron fraction of...
Solubility studies on the heavy metal sulfides in liquid hydrogen
sulfide at room temperature were carried out using the isopiestic
method. The results were compared with earlier work and with a
theoretical result based on Raoult's Law. A relative order for the
solubilities of sulfur and the sulfides of tin,...
