CFB Black liquor gasification – Discussions of gasification and system solutions

• In this paper a new type of black liquor gasification process is presented and analyzed. It is a Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) process with the addition of TiO2 to the bed material. This gives a direct caustization of Na2CO3 to Na2O.TiO2 which forms NaOH by leaking with water. Thus a lime kiln is not needed in the process. Simultaneously SO4 is also reduced to S2- and stripped off as H2S to a major extent, absorbed in a selective scrubber, giving a separation of OH- and S2- , which makes modified cooking possible. Performance of integrating black liquor gasification has also been analyzed and discussed for electricity production in an efficient Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) and/or different chemicals such as NH3, DME or methanol in a polygeneration sytem.
