Combustion Characteristics And Kinetic Analysis Of Oil Sludge With Cao Additive

Combustion of High-sulfur oil sludge (OS) blended with CaO can significantly reduce the emission of sulfur gas pollutants, but its combustion and kinetic characteristics need to be further studied. TGA experiments showed the combustion characteristics of OS were significantly changed after adding CaO. As reflected by comprehensive combustion index (S), the combustion performance of OS decreased after adding CaO, and significantly improved with the increase of heating rate. The kinetic parameters of the main combustion process of OS with CaO were calculated by the iso-conversion methods of Friedman, FWO, and Starink, respectively. Kinetic analysis results indicated the energy required for OS combustion with CaO first increased and then decreased with deepening of reaction degree. The thermodynamic parameters of Delta H, Delta G and Delta S were determined on the basis of kinetics. The negative Delta H, positive Delta G, and negative Delta S validated the combustion of OS with CaO was an exothermic and nonspontaneous process.
