Which outcome occurs when exceeding a recovery boiler's liquor-to-air ratio limit cycle?

A)Smelt bed collapses rapidly forming clinkers
B)Waterwall tube corrosion is acutely magnified
C)Pluggage increases in the electrostatic precipitator
D)Cyclone separators undergo refractory overexpansion

💡 Explanation

A smelt bed collapse occurs because excessive organic solids cause a rapid consumption of available oxygen via enhanced oxidation, a reducing environment. Therefore, clinkers form because the non-oxidized smelt fails to properly liquify, rather than normal oxidation at optimal liquor ratios.
