Abstract: Under the oxy-firing combustion surroundings, the characteristics of limestone dissolution used for WFGD were researched on a small-scale test rig. The results indicate that higher CO2 concentration can enhance the dissolution of limestone. Especially at 80% CO2 concentration the rate of limestone dissolution increases significantly. The higher CO2 concentration, the faster rate of dissolution under the same pH value. When pH is equal to 4.5, it takes 70 more minutes under low CO2 concentration surroundings than with the high CO2 concentration surroundings. Apparently, the CO2 concentration has significant impact on the limestone dissolution.

Key words: coal-fired power generation, oxy-firing combustion surroundings, limestone, wet desulphurization (WFGD), dissolution, ?CO2 concentration
