The objectives of this study were to investigate the characteristics of desulfurization under different experimental conditions and the effects of desulfurization in a fluidized bed combuster installed with the screen. The experimental results were as follows ; First, as the height of fluidized bed combustor becomes higher, the concentrations of SO_2 mainly increased and sulfur retion of paper sludge was higher than that of natural limestone. Second, the desulfurization by natural limestone occurred at in-bed and the desulfurization by paper sludge occurred in the whole of fluidized bed combuster. In additiion, we identified calcium sulfate by the analysis of SEM and XRD. Third, screen at splash region increased sulfur retention 2∼5%, air velocity and anthracite fraction had a little effect on the sulfur retention.

A porous α-alumina tube of 2.5 ㎜ O.D. and 1.9 ㎜ I.D. was used as the support of an inorganic membrane. Macropores of the tube, about 150 nm in size, were plugged with silica formed by thermal decomposition of tetraethylorthosillcate at 600℃. The forced cross-flow CVD method that reactant was evacuated through the porous wall of the support was very effective in plugging macropores. The H_2 permeance of the prepared membrane was of the order of 10^-8 mol s^-1 m^-2 . Pa^-1, while the N_2 permeance was below 10^-11 mol. s^-1 . m^-2 . Pa^-1 at 600℃. This was comparable to that of silica-modified Vycor glass whose size was 4 nm.
