Abstract: Ca(OH)2 and CaCO3 were selected as the main sulfur-fixed agent, their mass ratio is 2∶3. Vermiculite and Na2CO3 were selected as the additives. The influence on the desulphurization ratio by the addition of main sulfur-fixed agent and additives were studied under Ca/S=2.25. Result shows that the desulphurization ratio of powder coal with the addition of sulfur-fixed agent can achieve 85% at 950℃ and burning half an hour. TG experiment was carried on the coal with different sulfur-fixed agents, their effects on the coal combustion characteristic and kinetic parameters were analyzed. Conclusion draws that the addition of main sulfur-fixed agent and additives not only enhanced the desulphurization ratio, but also promoted coal combustion and reduced the amount of coal ash.
