The melting behaviour in the salt system (Na,K)(CO3,SO4,S,Cl,OH) is investigated by laboratory methods to develop a chemical model for salt mixtures with compositions relevant for recovery boilers.The model, based on both literature data and experimental work can be used as (a) submodel in models for the over-all chemistry in recovery boilers and to estimate (b) deposit formation on heat transfer surfaces (fouling), (c) the melting properties of the fly ash, and (d) the smelt bed in recovery boilers.Experimental techniques used are thermal analysis, high temperature microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy.
