    Abstract:
    The Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid model (TFM) in conjunction with kinetic theory of granular flows (KTGF) was used for analyzing water vaporization and the semidry flue gas desulfurization process in a two-dimensional powder-particle spouted bed (PPSB). In an environment with high-temperature gas, desulfurization slurry is wrapped on the surface of moving particles and evaporated, along with the application of the user defined function (UDF) method to accomplish water heat and mass transfer by considering evaporation in the simulation process. The simulation results revealed that the best mass- and heat-transfer effect of each phase can be found in the outer annulus and the near spout region, both of which are also the main areas where water vaporization occurs. The rate of desulfurization products decreases with the increase in inlet gas temperature as the water vaporization rate increases. The volume fraction of desulfurization reaction products decreases with the increase in inlet flue gas temperature. Compared with other working conditions, the highest desulfurization efficiency reaches 84% when the inlet flue gas temperature is 480 K. The change of the desulfurization product rate with the radial distance is the same under different superficial gas velocities, with the peak desulfurization efficiency appearing in the annulus. The optimal operating parameter for the desulfurization process is available in PPSB, and the desulfurization efficiency and gas handling capacity reach the best result when the superficial gas velocity equals 1.2 Ums.
