    A novel process for grinding limestone to a predetermined particle size distribution is disclosed. The process includes grinding the limestone between a pair of opposing rotating rolls having a smooth surface. Optionally, particles larger than about 14 to 16 mesh are removed, in a separator, and refed to the roll grinder.

The process comprises feeding a feedstock of limestone to a roll agtinder having a pair of opposing rotating rolls having 2 smooth surface, the rolls being separated by a prede- termined nip or gap and having a predetermined cir- cumferential velocity, and grinding the limestone be- tween the rolls to @ particle size distribution including particles in a range of about 759% to about 90% by weight greater than 200 mesh to produce a limestone product. Optionally, particles larger than about 14 to 16 mesh are removed, in a separator, and refed to the roll grinder. 6 Claims, 2 Drawing Sheets US, Patent Dec. 27, 1994 Sheet 1 of 2 5,375,779 Sheet 2 of 2 5,375,779 Dee. 27, 1994 US.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Limestone is 2 natural crystalline mineral, which has as its major constituent calcium carbonate, character- ized chemically a CaCO3. Limestone is used in many processes including chemical manufacturing, agricul- tural product manufacturing, and construction material ‘manufacturing. In particular, limestone is used in power plant boilers for flue gas desulfurization or flue gas scrubbing, which is a process for removing sulfur-based ‘compounds such as sulfur dioxide (S0,) from flue gas prior to discharge to the atmosphere. In the most basic exemplification of a flue gas desulfurization process, limestone is mixed with aliquid carrier such as water to create a srry. The slurry is then transported to a scrub- bing tower where it is injected into and intimately mixed with the flue gas stream which is discharged from the boiler. The intimate mixing of the limestone and flue gas at elevated temperatures fosters the desul- farization or scrubbing process. Limestone is also used as a desulfurizing or scrubbing medium in fluidized bed combustion units. In these units, combustion materials such as coal and the like are fluidized and combusted in a combustion vessel by contact with upflowing high temperature gasses. In moder practice, limestone is mixed with the combus- tion materials prior to feeding of the mixture into the vessel, and the desulfurization process is effectuated in the vessel during combustion. ‘The scrubbing or desulfurization process is a chemi- cal reaction. Therefore, the proper stoichiometric ratio, of limestone containing calcium carbonate to flue gas, will produce the most efficient reaction. In order for the desulfurization reaction to proceed efficiently and with ‘minimal waste, the limestone must be processed such as by grinding to produce a defined particle size prior to use. In the fluidized bed combustion process, it is of ‘utmost importance to control limestone particle size
