✦ Synopsis

The effects of cycle period, cycle split, and liquid flow rate on SO 2 removal in a periodically operated trickle bed of activated carbon were investigated using a simulated flue gas containing 2500 ppm SO 2. The highest measured SO 2 removal was 98%. Temperature waves observed in the bed were the consequence of periodic flushing with liquid coupled with the exothermicities of SO 2 absorption and its oxidation to SO 3 as well as the endothermicity of evaporation. The outlet SO 2 concentration from the trickle bed also varied and appeared to be closely related to the changing bed temperature. The period and split affect the SO 2 removal apparently as a result of limits in the minimum flushing time combined with the rate of oxygen transfer to the catalyst. Increasing the period at a fixed split has almost the same effect as decreasing the split with a fixed period. The liquid flow rate has no significant effect on the catalytic activity within the range of experimental conditions studied.

Trickle bed reactors are governed by equations of flow in porous media such as Darcy's law and the conservation of mass. Our numerical method for solving these equations is based on a total-velocity splitting, sequential formulation which leads to an implicit pressure equation and a semi-implicit ma
