An application of ChemApp on the chemical processes in the kraft recovery boiler
Windows-based program for boiler designers and operators to predict chemical processes in the furnace and in flue gas channels
One-dimensional, multi-stage chemistry model using chemical equilibrium calculations, physical models for deposit behavior and experimental information for combustion characteristics
Why thermodynamic modeling is useful for BL combustion
Well-defined ”ash” chemistry (Na-K salts) Alkali salts have good contact in smelt
bed High liquid content in inorganic particles
down to 500 °C + molten phase has lowviscosity fast reactions
Concepts T15 and T70 work for recoveryboilers

Thermodynamic modeling of ashchemistry in combustion
Useful tool for modeling alkali salt melting and reactions in BL recovery boilers Bed behavior, corrosion, deposit formation
Useful tool for predicting ash chemistry in biomassand coal combustion Well-defined databases for coal ashes and slags Database for salt phases including Ca, Mg, Pb, Zn, and
P is being developed Databases for alkali-rich silicates need development Limitations of kinetics, fuel speciation, combustion
techniques need to be addressed for proper use of thermodynamic modeling
