Abstract
Oxy-fuel combustion of fossil fuel is one of the most promising methods for producing electricity, together with a stream of concentrated CO 2 ready for sequestration. Oxy-fuel fluidized-bed combustion (FBC) can also use limestone as a sorbent for in situ capture of sulfur dioxide. However, although a limited number of studies have been performed on sulfation of limestone under oxy-fuel combustion conditions, there are still a number of important but unanswered questions. Here, the effect of water vapor on the sulfation of limestone was studied, because it has not been examined in detail in previous sulfation studies and past studies on direct sulfation of limestone in FBC either did not explore the influence of H 2 O or did so under unrealistic conditions for oxy-fuel FBC. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of water vapor on direct sulfation of limestone under simulated oxy-fuel circulating FBC (CFBC) conditions. Direct sulfation of three limestones was conducted in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) apparatus at 800 and 850 °C. The limestone particle sizes used were 75−125, 125−150, 150−250, and 250−425 μm, and tests were carried out in a synthetic flue gas atmosphere, consisting of 80% CO 2, 15%, 10% or 0% H 2 O, 4% O 2, 5000 ppm SO 2, and balance N 2 . Water always improved limestone sulfation, especially at 850 °C. In addition, for some limestones, such as Kelly Rock (Nova Scotia, Canada), when the reaction gas contained no H 2 O, the calcium conversion ratio was higher at 800 °C than at 850 °C. However, when the reaction gas contained 10% H 2 O, the conversion ratio and the sulfation reaction rate were always higher at 850 °C than at 800 °C. Because coal-fired boiler flue gases always contain water vapor, the role played by H 2 O in the limestone sulfation reaction should always be considered in future studies.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
