Abstract

In gasifiers of coal, decomposition of limestone into CaO and CO₂ depend on the concentration and pressure of CO₂ and the temperature. The basic characters of the oxidative decomposition of CaS were studied using reagent grade CaS to determine a method for perfect conversion of CaS formed from a natural lime to CaSO₄. The role of H₂O in the oxidative decomposition of CaS carried out using a flow-type thermogravimetric apparatus at 1 atm was studied. At 900°C, the presence of H₂O drastically accelerated the decomposition of CaS with O₂. CaS directly reacted with H₂O at 800°-1000°C and formed CaO, SO₂, and H₂. The evolution of SO₂ in the 10% H₂O-1% O₂-He system indicated that there is a synergistic effect of H₂O and O₂ on the oxidative decomposition of CaS. H₂O played an important role in the oxidative decomposition of CaS even if the O₂ concentration was high.
