Introduction The formation and emission of fine particles from biomass and coal combustion have received increasing attention in the last few years. Aerosols from fuels with high volatile sodium or potassium compounds, as biomass and bio-refuse feedstocks, are often dominated by a large submicron particle fraction, formed as a consequence of alkali volatilization in the combustion zone and the following condensation. The growing interest in these particles mainly owns to their contribution to environmental pollution on both urban and regional scale. This issue is potentially enhanced by the greater difficulties in filtering the ultrafine particulate than the coarser fraction, using the existing flue gas cleaning devices. Moreover, aerosols can be enriched in heavy metals volatilized in the combustion zone, as particularly observed in coal combustion. Fine particles, which in biomass combustion are mainly composed by chlorides and sulphates, also contribute to deposition (slagging and fouling) and corrosion phenomena on boiler walls and tube surfaces. Alkali reduce the melting temperature of boiler deposits while chlorine accelerates boiler corrosion, which therefore strongly depends on the fuel composition. Nowadays, several studies analyze the role of the gaseous sulphur chemistry on the sulphates/chlorides ratio found in the fine particles from biomass combustion, and suggest the use of co-combustion with fuels containing sulphur (as coal or coke) to minimize corrosion associated with chlorine [1]. The negative effects of aerosol combustion particles in human life and in deposition and corrosion processes of power plants were analyzed in many works [2], even if only very few experimental measurements are available to develop and validate mechanistic models of alkali aerosol formation [1, 3, 4, 5]. From the kinetic point of view, the fundamental reaction scheme of alkali formation is still under investigation. In the published literature there is general agreement in indicating the formation of inorganic aerosol precursors as an homogenous gas phase mechanism, when KCl salts are vaporized in a flue gas stream, simulating coal combustion products [6]. Aerosol gas phase species then condensate to form particles, which grow through coagulation and surface growth processes. Therefore, several authors indicate the necessity of a general model, encompassing both a gas phase and a condensation mechanism. Recently, Glarborg and Marshall [6] proposed a kinetic gas phase mechanism for alkali formation, including an update of the SO x formation pathways and SO x -alkali reactions. They used the experimental data from Iisa and Lu [3] for validation, showing fine agreement of the predictions with the formation of potassium sulfate under the conditions investigated. Further, the study suggests that a deeper understanding of the condensation and nucleation processes is needed to explain the drain of sulfates out of the gas phase. These preliminary results stimulated the interest in assessing the mechanism for a wider range of reacting environments, mainly those * Corresponding author: tognotti@ing.unipi.it III-5, 1
2 31st Meeting on Combustion representing industrial operating conditions. Jiménez and Ballester performed a first attempt to apply Glarborg and Marshall kinetic mechanism to real cases of biomass and coal combustion and co-combustion [1]. They simulated the aerosol formation produced in a wide range of test conditions with their experimental setup: an entrained flow reactor (EFR) with a cooling device (called chimeny). The chemical engineering model used in the theoretical study represented only the cooling section of their reactor. They initially used the Glarborg and Marshall complete mechanism, but the calculations produced predictions far away from the experimental data. Then, further simulations have been performed with a simplified mechanism focused only to SO 2 -SO 3 conversion. Even if the comparison of calculated data (Cl/S molar ratio) with experimental ones showed good agreement for some experimental conditions, their model failed in the low [SO 2 ]-low [O 2 ] region. The past studies showed some difficulties in applying detailed kinetic models for predicting alkali aerosol formation, that should be overcome improving the whole modelling approach. In this work a detailed model for predicting alkali aerosol formation is proposed, based on reactor network analysis [7] and comprehensive mechanistic schemes. One of the novel features is that, besides gaseous combustion species predictions, also particle chemical speciation and granulometric distribution are both included in the calculations. The modeling approach encompasses many sub-models: a reactor network model to represent experimental set-up conditions, a detailed kinetic model for gas phase reactions and a condensation model for particle nucleation and growth. A general combustion mechanism [15] is updated including the entire SO x and SO x -alkali mechanism by Glarborg and Marshall [6] to simulate aerosol precursors formation. To solve nucleation, surface growth and coagulation problems, the nodal model (NGDE) from Prakash et al. [8] was used, which is essentially an evolution of the sectional model presented by Gelbard [9] and developed in some other works [10, 11]. Finally, the assessment of the modeling approach is achieved, comparing the predictions with the experimental data of aerosol chemical composition and size distribution, measured by Jiménez and Ballester [4]. Since the known technical difficulties to remove fine particles by means of pollution control devices, the final goal is to develop a simulation tool that should be useful to find the best conditions for controlling the aerosol formation in the combustion processes. 2. Model development The model was developed assuming the alkali aerosol precursor formation as an homogeneous gas phase mechanism. The aerosol particles generate from the inorganic part of the fuel, in the combustion zone, through a process starting with mineral matter vaporization and continuing in the gas phase reactions and finally in particle nucleation, coagulation and growth. Devolatilization is the first step of the process and it strongly depends on the fuel type. Particularly, for what concerns the main alkali aerosol elements (K, S, Cl) from biomass combustion, several studies [5, 12, 13] show that potassium, sulfur and chlorine are almost completely released at 1150 C. The volatiles are then involved in a series of reactions to form aerosol precursors species. In the present work, a detailed combustion mechanism [15] is combined with Glarborg s subset of reactions for alkali formation, recently published [6]. The gas phase kinetic scheme together with the thermodynamic data of the chemical species and the reactor network model constitute the input program files for the computer software Dsmoke [14], as schematized in Fig. 1. The output file provides the gas phase chemical composition of aerosol precursors as a function of the combustion conditions. The general dynamic equation (GDE) was then solved by means of NGDE for the aerosol precursors, obtaining the particle size distribution. III-5, 2

Kinetic model Kinetic interpreter Thermodynamic data Kinetic binary file Reactor Network model Fig. 1 DSmoke Gas phase composition NGDE Particles Size distribution Computational flow of the modeling approach Kinetic model description The gas phase reaction mechanism is basically formed on a strongly modular hierarchical structure: the core hydrocarbon combustion has been elaborated by Ranzi et al. [15] and the nitrogen sub-mechanism has been derived by Milan Polytechnic researchers [16] from the work of Miller and Bowman, Kilpinen et al [17] and from the development proposed by Glarborg et al. [18]. The kinetic model was here completed by adding Glarborg s reactions for the SO 2 SO 3 conversion and for the alkali species (potassium and sodium sulfates, bisulfates and chlorides) formation. The first step of the Glarborg model [6] is the conversion of SO 2 to SO 3, which represents the slower and limiting step of the mechanism. This step is mainly based on the following reactions: SO 2 + O(+M) = SO 3 (+M) HOSO 2 + O 2 = SO 3 + HO 2 A minor contribution to the SO 3 formation comes also from: SO 2 + O(+M) = SO 3 (+M) SO 2 + OH= SO 3 + H SO 2 + O 2 = SO 3 + O SO 2 KO(+M) = KSO 3 (+M) KSO 3 + OH = SO 3 + KOH The SO 3 is then converted to K 2 SO 4 by reacting with chloride and potassium hydroxide through the formation of chemical species which are stable at 1573K (KHSO 4 and KSO 3 Cl) Condensation model description The aerosol particle formation depends on both the thermodynamic equilibrium and the transport phenomena. The aerosol system can be described solving the General Dynamic Equation (GDE): dnk dt dn dn dn k k k = + + Eq. 1 dt coag. dt nucl. dt evap./ cond. The NGDE software realized by Prakash et al.[8], solves the GDE by means of a numerical algorithm for nucleation, coagulation and surface growth processes, while several other phenomena are not encountered, such as fragmentation, thermophoresis, diffusion to surfaces and inertial impact. Furthermore, the program has a modular structure able to solve the GDE completely or only for the surface grow or for the nucleation+coagulation process. The software was used by the authors to simulate aluminum particulate formation and growth from a supersaturated phase of the vapor. In the present work NGDE is applied to simulate the particle formation of the main aerosol species, as derived from kinetic gas phase model (i.e. potassium sulfate, potassium chloride and potassium chloride dimer).

[4] was represented through a series of interconnected CSTRs (continuous stirred-tank reactors) and PFRs (plug flow reactors) (Fig. 2). The R 3 to R 8 reactors are characterized by a linear temperature profile, to reproduce the temperature profile of the cooling system (Fig. 2).

Right side: temperature evolution with time along the EFR cooling section. The reactors were dimensioned on the basis of the constructive data and operating conditions reported by Jiménez and Ballester [4]. The input gas stream to EFR is composed by natural gas, N 2, O 2 and SO 2 (stream 1) and a mixture of oxygenate hydrocarbons and alkali species having the same elemental composition of the solid fuel used in the experiments (stream 2). The chemical composition of stream 2 was assigned assuming complete devolatilization of Orujillo in the early time steps inside the reactor and choosing, among the species involved in combustion mechanism, phenol and formaldehyde to represent aromatic and carbonilic biomass components, respectively. Moreover, chlorine is introduced as KCl and the excess of potassium is introduced as KOH. Finally, CO was added to close the mass balance. 3. Results and discussion In order to validate the general model proposed here, the inorganic aerosol formation has been simulated referring to the experimental conditions reported in Tab. 1. The calculated data ([Cl]/[S]) for the gas phase are compared with the experimental data in Fig. 3. Initially, the aerosol formation was simulated applying the original Glarborg kinetic sub-mechanism [6] for the alkali species (model GM 0 in the Fig. 3). The obtained results reveal a low K 2 SO 4 formation efficiency and the predictions overestimate the experimental data especially in the low [O 2 ], low [SO 2 ] region. Further calculations have been performed under the hypothesis that K 2 SO 4 production can be enhanced if the condensation process is taken into account. The effect of the condensation is introduced in the GM 0 scheme adding a fast irreversible reaction describing the passage of K 2 SO 4 from gaseous to solid phase. III-5, 4

Filled symbols denote experimental results [4]; open symbols with tendency lines denote modeling predictions. As a matter of fact, in the so called GM 0 +cond modified mechanism, K 2 SO 4 condensation promotes further gaseous K 2 SO 4 formation, consequently the SO 2 SO 3 conversion resulted enhanced without modifying either the kinetic constants or introducing new reactions in the gas phase mechanism. This is because K 2 SO 4 condensation acts itself as a sink for SO 3 in the gas stream. The GM 0 +cond mechanism gives a satisfying K 2 SO 4 production in all the experimental conditions and the results show an excellent agreement with the experimental data (Fig. 3). Then, the process of condensation (nucleation, coagulation and surface grow) was studied for the major aerosol species. The particles can be composed by one single specie which condensates homogeneously, or by multiple species if the particles are involved in heterogeneous growth (one specie which condenses on the nucleuses of an other specie). Three cases have been considered solving the GDE (Eq. 1): 1. homogeneous K 2 SO 4 condensation, 2. homogeneous (KCl) 2 condensation, 3. heterogeneous condensation of (KCl) 2 on the preformed K 2 SO 4 nucleuses. The results are compared in Fig. 4 with the experimental distribution by Jiménez [4]. Among all the experimental trials, the two runs which produced particles formed mostly of K 2 SO 4 or KCl have been chosen. The calculated size distributions are in agreement with the experimental data for what concerns the shape, but the peak diameter is shifted. It is worth to remark that from the condensation of an homogeneous vapor of K 2 SO 4, bigger particles are formed with respect to that derived by the condensation of an homogeneous vapor of (KCl) 2. This behavior is well reproduced in the simulations. The calculated distributions are slightly shifted toward the low size region with respect to the experimental results. This issue may be addressed to the presence of more complex phenomena which actually contribute to determine the chemistry of a real system. For example, in Fig. 4 preliminary calculations of heterogeneous growth of (KCl) 2 on K 2 SO 4 nucleuses are reported, where a significant right-shift of the distribution was obtained. III-5, 5

Conclusions A detailed mechanistic approach was developed to simulate inorganic aerosol formation from biomass and coal combustion and co-combustion processes. The model encompasses a reactor network model to represent experimental set-up conditions, a detailed kinetic scheme for gas phase reactions and a condensation model for particle nucleation and growth. It was validated by the comparison with experimental data for both the gas phase chemical speciation and size particle distributions. Differently from what reported by Jiménez [4], excellent agreement was obtained by using the full Glarborg gas phase model by the addiction of a condensation step to enhance sulfates formation and obtain adequate sulfates quantity. Finally, promising results were achieved also from the application of a condensation model. Further efforts will be devoted to better explain the relationship between particle size distribution and their chemical composition. For that purpose, the setting up of new experiments is wished.
