The focus of the study was on sorbents with a grain size of 125-250 μm. Examinations of reactivity were conducted in a reaction furnace under conditions required for reactivity testing of calcium sorbents. The tests were performed according to standard calcium sorbent tests (FW). Computation of reactivity indices and capacity index were performed according to formulae contained in previous publications [1]. The process of simultaneous calcination and sulfation of calcium sorbents is controlled by the speed of chemical processes and diffusion. Therefore, surface properties of sorbents, including porosity, play an important role in the flue gas desulphurization process. Examinations of sorbent porosity were performed using a mercury porosimeter. Based on porosimetric analysis, open porosity, the total surface area of sorbents and mean diameter of pores were evaluated for the sorbents studied.
