- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

High Temperature Oxidation of the Austenitic (35Fe27Cr31Ni) Alloy Sanicro 28 in O-2 + H2O Environment

- The present study investigates the high temperature oxidation of alloy Sanicro 28 (35Fe27Cr31Ni) in 5% O-2 and in 5% O-2 + 40% H2O. Polished steel coupons were isothermally exposed in a tube furnace at 600, 700 and 800 A degrees C for up to 168 h. The samples were investigated by gravimetry, grazing angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-rays (STEM/EDX). The results show that the material forms a protective scale in both environments. The scale is duplex. The inner part of the scale consists of corundum type chromium-rich (Cr (x) Fe1-x )(2)O-3, and the outer layer consists of spinel type oxide. Chromia is lost from the protective oxide by vaporization of CrO2(OH)(2) in O-2 + H2O environment. The capacity of Sanicro 28 to suffer chromia vaporization without forming a rapidly growing iron-rich oxide is attributed to its high Cr/Fe ratio. The spinel formed at the oxide/gas interface could in addition be beneficial for oxidation behavior in wet oxygen because it may slow down chromia evaporation.

KCl-Induced High Temperature Corrosion of the Austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni Alloys 304L and Sanicro 28 at 600 °C

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The influence of KCl(s) on the high temperature oxidation of the austenitic alloys 304L and Sanicro 28 at 600 °C in O2 + H2O environment is reported. 0.10 mg/cm2 KCl(s) was added before exposure. The samples are investigated by grazing angle XRD, SEM/EDX, and AES. In the absence of KCl, both alloys show protective behaviour in dry O2. In O2 + H2O environment, alloy 304L suffers local breakaway corrosion while Sanicro 28 still shows protective behaviour. The oxidation of both alloys is strongly accelerated by KCl. KCl reacts with chromium in the normally protective corundum-type oxide, forming K2CrO4. This depletes the scale in chromia and leads to the formation of a non-protective, iron-rich scale. The significance of KCl-induced corrosion in real applications is discussed and the oxidation behaviour of the two steels is compared.

A pilot plant study of the effect of alkali salts on initial stages of the high temperature corrosion of alloy 304L

- Alloy 304L was exposed for between 15 min to 12 hr in the 12MW CFB research boiler at the Chalmers university of technology using an air-cooled probe. The base fuel consisted of a mixture of 67% wood chips and 33% pellets. In addition to the base fuel experiment, a number of exposures were performed where S and Cl was added to the fuel in the form Of SO2(g) and HCl(aq) in order to control the flue gas chemistry in the superheater region. After the exposures the samples were analysed by ESEM/EDX, XRD and SAM. Burning a mixture of woodchips/pellets without adding sulphur or chlorine results in the formation of K2SO4 deposits on the corrosion probes. When HCl is added to the fuel KCl deposits form. The simultaneous addition of HCl and SO, results in a deposit consisting of a mixture of KCl and K2SO4. In all environments studied an oxide in the 100nm range forms. With time, the oxide becomes covered by ash deposits. After exposure to the biomass flue gas environment, the oxide is enriched in K, especially the outer part. Chlorine is not present in the oxide even when the KCl(s) forms on the surface. It is suggested that potassium chromate formation occurs by the reaction of potassium chloride with chromium oxide.

The influence of sulphur additions on the corrosive environment in a waste-fired CFB boiler

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Corrosion/deposition field tests have been carried out in the superheater region of a commercial waste-fired 75MW CFBC boiler using air cooled probes. The influence of material temperature (450-500 degrees C), flue gas temperature, temperature variations (i.e. thermal cycling) and additives to the fuel (elemental sulphur and dolomite) on deposition and corrosion was studied. The results presented here mainly consider the influence of sulphur additions to the fuel. The fuel was a mixture of 50% household waste and 50% industrial waste. After exposure the samples were analyzed by ESEM/EDX, XRD, AAS, FIB and IC. With no additional sulphur, alkali chlorides made up a large part of the deposit/corrosion product layer and in some cases chromate (VI) was detected. It is suggested that the chromate (VI) has formed by reaction of the protective oxide with alkali chlorides in the deposit. Adding sulphur to the fuel changed the composition of the deposits, alkali chlorides being largely replaced by alkali sulphates. No chromates(VI) were detected in the sulphur-added runs. It is suggested that adding sulphur to the fuel may decrease fireside corrosion because it changes the composition of the deposit. Alkali sulphates are much less corrosive than alkali chlorides partly because they do not form chromate(VI).
