The development of a banded double ring electrodynamic balance for studying the spray drying flue gas desulfurization system
Abstract
A banded double ring electrodynamic balance (BDRB) has been designed and constructed for the purpose of investigating the lime slurry spray drying flue gas desulfurization system. The BDRB is unique in that droplets greater than 750 $\mu$m have been captured and levitated. This represents an increase in mass of 30 times and an increase in diameter of 3 times compared to traditional electrodynamic balances. Design details and modelling information demonstrate the viability of the BDRB. The potential of the balance has been demonstrated by determining the critical solids content for droplets consisting of a saturated solution of Ca(OH)$\sb2$ in the presence of SO$\sb2$ at room temperature.
