Abstract: A laboratory study was performed to examine the main factors affecting the removal efficiency of chloride (Cl) and potassium (K) of ash treatment systems operated at a tempera- ture between 60 and 100C. The results show that the removal efficiency is directly proportional to the amounts of Cl and K in the liquid that have been separated from the ash-water slurry. For a given system, the Cl and K removal efficiency is determined by the concentration of Cl and K in the liquid and by the Degree of solid-liquid Separation (DS). DS, in turn, is greatly affected by the ash concentration in the slurry and the CO3 content of the ash.
