- The effect of the addition of chlorine and/or sulfur to the fuel on fly ash composition, deposit formation, and superheater corrosion has been studied during biomass combustion in a circulating fluidized-bed boiler. The chlorine (HCl (aq)) and sulfur (SO2 (g)) were added in proportions of relevance for the potassium chemistry. The composition of the bottom and the fly ashes was analyzed. Gas and particle measurements were performed downstream of the cyclone before the convection pass and the flue gas composition was recorded in the stack with a series of standard instruments and an FTIR analyzer. At the position downstream of the cyclone, a deposit probe was situated, simulating a superheater tube. Deposits on the probe and initial corrosion were examined. It is concluded that addition of sulfur and chlorine increases the formation of submicron particles leading to deposition of potassium sulfate and chloride. The results compare well with earlier work based on laboratory-scale experiments concerning effects of chlorine and sulfur on potassium chemistry.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The formation of volatile chromium species is a major problem concerning metallic interconnects for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC). This problem is known and a number of routes, usually in the form of coatings, has been presented to overcome this problem. This paper investigates the influence of thin metallic films which can be applied by a low cost process. The measurements are carried out by a novel denuder technique where volatile chromium species are collected as sodium chromate. This technique allows the quantification of chromium evaporation in a time resolved manner. Coated and uncoated samples of ferritic steels developed for SOFC applications are investigated at 850°C in a N2-O2-H2O environment.

- The influence of alkali- and chlorine-containing compounds on the corrosion of superheater alloys has been studied extensively. The current paper instead investigates the corrosive effects of KCl and HCl under conditions relevant to waterwall conditions. A low-alloy (Fe-2.25Cr-1Mo) steel was exposed to KCl(s), 500 vppm HCl(g) and (KCl + HCl) in the presence of 5%O2 and 20% H2O at 400 °C. The results indicate that alloy chlorination by KCl occurs by an electrochemical process, involving cathodic formation of chemisorbed KOH on the scale surface and anodic formation of solid FeCl2 at the bottom of the scale. The process is accompanied by extensive cracking and delamination of the iron oxide scale, resulting in a complex, convoluted scale morphology. Adding 500 vppm HCl to the experimental environment (KCl + HCl) initially greatly accelerated the formation of FeCl2 at the scale/alloy interface. The accelerated alloy chlorination is attributed to HCl reacting with KOH at the scale surface, causing the cathodic process to be depolarized. A rapid slowing down of the rate of chlorination and corrosion in KCl + HCl environment was observed which was attributed to the electronically insulating nature of the FeCl2 layer which forms at the bottom of the scale, disconnecting the anodic and cathodic regions.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- En ergonomisk och teknisk utvärdering genomfördes av en förändring av produktionssystemet i ett elektronikföretag som innebar en ökad automatisering. Själva förändringsprocessen utvärderades också.Automatiseringen av den manuella monteringen och transporten minskade exponeringstiden för manuell montering på systemnivå samt ökade produktiviteten. För den kvarstående manuella monteringen ökade dock repetitiviteten och ensidigheten. Montörerna upplevde också att den psykiska arbetsbelastningen var större i det nya systemet jämfört med det gamla. De ansåg också att de manuella monteringsstationerna som helhet var dåliga arbetsuppgifter.I den studerade förändringsprocessen var bristen på kontinuitet i arbetsledning ett av avdelningens huvudproblem. Arbetsledaren fick också sätta sin prägel på hur produktionsmålen skulle uppfyllas och hur arbetsförhållandena skulle utformas. Därigenom blev det arbetsledaren och inte den handlingsplan med arbetsrotation som en arbetsorganisationsgrupp utformade som avgjorde hur arbetsorganisationen utformades.

Fireside corrosion of stainless and low alloyed steels in a waste-fired CFB boiler; The effect of adding sulphur to the fuel
- 2008

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Corrosion field tests have been carried out in the superheater region of a commercial waste-fired 75MW CFBC boiler using air cooled probes. Exposure time was 24 and 1000 hours. The effect of adding sulphur to the fuel on the corrosion of two high alloyed steels and a low alloyed steel was studied. The fuel consisted of 50% household waste and 50% industrial waste. The exposed samples were analyzed by ESEM/EDX and XRD. Metal loss was determined after 1000 hours. Both materials suffered significant corrosion in the absence of sulphur addition and the addition of sulphur to the fuel reduced corrosion significantly. The rapid corrosion of the high alloyed steel in the absence of sulphur addition is caused by the destruction of the chromium-containing protective oxide by formation of calcium chromate. Adding sulphur to the fuel inhibited chromate formation and increased the sulphate/chloride ratio in the deposit. Iron(II) chloride formed on the low alloyed steel regardless of whether sulphur was added or not.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Combustion of an increasing amount of biofuel and waste woods has resulted in certainenvironmental advantages, including decreased emissions of fossil CO2, SO2 andmetals. On the other hand, a number of chloride and alkali related operational problemshave occurred which are related to combustion of these fuels.Alkali related operational problems have been studied in a project consisting of twoparts. The overall scope has been to characterise the operational problems and to studymeasures to minimise them. The first part was reported in Värmeforsk report 997 wherethe results were summarised in a table of different measures. In part two, additionalmeasures have been included in the test plan and initial corrosion has been studiedlinked to the different measures. The tests have also in part two been carried out at the12 MW CFB boiler at Chalmers. The effect of the selected measures has beeninvestigated concerning both deposit formation and bed agglomeration, and at the sametime emissions and other operational conditions were characterised.The second part of the project has among other things focused on:• To investigate measures which decrease the content of alkali and chloride in thedeposits, and consequently decrease the risk for corrosion (by investigating theinitial corrosion). Focus was also on trying to explain favourable effects.• To investigate if it is possible to combine a rather low dosage of kaolin and injectionof ammonium sulphate. This was done in order to reduce both bed agglomerationand problems from deposits during combustion of fuels rich in chlorine.• To investigate if co-combustion with sewage sludge, de-inking sludge or peat withhigh ash content, could give similar advantages as conventional additives.• Investigate if ash from PFBC is possible to use as an alternative bed material.By comparing the different measures in part two, it could be concluded that cocombustionof sewage sludge gave the best overall effect. The judgement was based onthe effects concerning bed agglomeration, level of alkali chloride in the flue gas,deposits and initial corrosion. Simultaneous addition of kaolin and ammonia sulphatealso had a favourable impact both in the bed and on the alkali chlorides in the gas phase.Dosage of kaolin did not reduce the effect of injected ammonium sulphate. Cocombustionof peat could also be a very attractive alternative, but it is critical to select asuitable peat type. It is of special concern to avoid peat with a high content of calcium,since it can increase the level of alkali chlorides by reacting with available sulphur.Change of bed material to ash from PFBC can decrease problems with bedagglomeration, but there is a risk of increased deposit formation and corrosion. A boileroperated with high steam data should consequently combine the change of bed materialwith injection of ammonium sulphate or another source of sulphur.Co-combustion of de-inking sludge from pulp and paper production can reduceproblems with bed agglomeration. There is, however, an increased chance of corrosiondue to the high content of calcium. Injection of sulphates may improve the situationconcerning corrosion. The results also showed that low potassium chlorine content in the flue gas decreasesthe risk of corrosion. Increased amount of potassium chlorine content in the flue gaswill not necessary give a high amount of chlorine content in the deposits if there is sulphur in the system.Key words: agglomeration, deposits, corrosion, alkali, kaolin, ammonium sulphate,sludge

Influence of Resin Composition on the Defect Formation in Alumina Manufactured by Stereolithography
- 2017

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Stereolithography (SL) is a technique allowing additive manufacturing of complex ceramic parts by selective photopolymerization of a photocurable suspension containing photocurable monomer, photoinitiator, and a ceramic powder. The manufactured three-dimensional object is cleaned and converted into a dense ceramic part by thermal debinding of the polymer network and subsequent sintering. The debinding is the most critical and time-consuming step, and often the source of cracks. In this study, photocurable alumina suspensions have been developed, and the influence of resin composition on defect formation has been investigated. The suspensions were characterized in terms of rheology and curing behaviour, and cross-sections of sintered specimens manufactured by SL were evaluated by SEM. It was found that the addition of a non-reactive component to the photocurable resin reduced polymerization shrinkage and altered the thermal decomposition of the polymer matrix, which led to a reduction in both delamination and intra-laminar cracks. Using a non-reactive component that decomposed rather than evaporated led to less residual porosity.

The influence of KCl on the corrosion of an austenitic stainless steel (304L) in oxidizing humid conditions at 600 ºC: A microstructural study

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The effect of KCl on the corrosion behavior of the austenitic stainless steel 304L was studied at 600 A degrees C in 5% O(2) + 40% H(2)O + N(2). The breakdown of the protective oxide was investigated. This was done through a detailed microstructural characterization of the oxide scales formed after 1, 24 and 168 h. The oxidized samples were investigated by SEM/EDX, FIB and STEM/EDX. The presence of KCl(s) causes a breakdown of most of the protective scale, even though it is not in direct contact with KCl(s) particles, starting after just 1 h exposure. A fast growing porous oxide formed in direct contact with (former) KCl(s) particles and an about 2 mu m thick scale covered most of the surface. Only some regions were covered by a thin scale. K(2)CrO(4) particles were randomly distributed all over the scale after 1 h exposure. The particles are situated above the oxide scale and are not in direct contact with the subjacent metal. The thin scale contains lower Cr levels than has been observed in corresponding scales formed in the absence of KCl. The breakdown of the protective scale is suggested to be caused primarily by the formation of K(2)CrO(4), depleting the protective oxide in chromium. In addition, chromia evaporation contributes to chromia depletion and breakdown of the protective scale. Very little or no transition metal chlorides were found after breakaway oxidation. Cl is suggested to play a minor role in the initial breakdown of the protective scale. The presence of KCl particles caused local rapid oxidation, which results in an outward growing Fe and Fe-Cr rich porous oxide.
