Abstract

Abstract: As an industrial solid waste, pyrite cinder exhibited excellent reactivity and cycle stability in chemical looping combustion. Prior to the experiment, oxygen carriers often experienced a high temperature calcination process to stabilize the physico-chemical properties, which presented significant influence on the redox performance of oxygen carriers. However, the effect of calcination temperature on the cyclic reaction performance of pyrite cinder has not been studied in detail. In this work, the effect of calcination temperature on the redox activity and attrition characteristic of pyrite cinder were studied in a fluidized-bed reactor using CH₄ as fuel. A series of pyrite cinder samples were prepared by controlling the calcination temperature. The redox activity and attrition rate of the obtained pyrite cinder samples were investigated deeply. The results showed that calcination temperature displayed significant impact on the redox performance of pyrite cinder. Considering CH₄ conversion (80%–85%) and attrition resistance, the pyrite cinder calcined at 1050?℃ presented excellent redox properties. In the whole experiment process, the CO₂ selectivity of the pyrite cinder samples were not affected by the calcination temperature and were still close to 100%. The results can provide reference for optimizing the calcination temperature of pyrite cinder during chemical looping process.
