Characterizations of some Nigerian Bed Materials for fluidized Bed Combustor

Bed materials processing involves solid minerals reduction to sizes of about 100-600µm and density of about 1400-3000kg/m3. Apart from the physical criteria, the chemical properties were also essential in respect of its absorbent and agglomeration effects in the fluidized bed combustor. In this work, we present the process technology to produce and select bed materials from Nigeria solid minerals. Firstly, the chemical composition of the various processed bed materials were determined using wet chemical method. Secondly, we subjected the materials at 100μm to dustiness test which provided the proportion trapped by the cyclone and filter. Nigerian bed materials were high in qualities and they met the requirements of fluidized bed combustion technology.
