    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for starting up a fluidized bed boiler, such as a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) or a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boiler, for operation with a predetermined concentration of ilmenite particles in the bed material. The invention also relates to a method for pre-oxidizing ilmenite, to pre-oxidized ilmenite and to the use of pre-oxidized ilmenite in a fluidized bed boiler.

    Abstract: The invention relates to abed management cycle for a fluidized bed boiler, comprising the steps of: a) providing fresh ilmenite particles as bed material to the fluidized bed boiler; b) carrying out a fluidized bed combustion process; c) removing at least one ash stream comprising ilmenite particles from the fluidized bed boiler; d) separating ilmenite particles from the at least one ash stream; e) recirculating separated ilmenite particles into the bed of the fluidized bed boiler. The invention also relates to a corresponding arrangement for carrying out fluidized bed combustion, comprising a fluidized bed boiler comprising ilmenite particles as bed material; and a system for removing ash from the fluidized bed boiler; wherein the arrangement further comprises a separator for separating ilmenite particles from the re-moved ash; and means for recirculating separated ilmenite particles into the bed of the fluidized bed boiler.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for recycling fluidized bed boiler bed material, comprising: a. a bottom ash removal device for removing bed material from a fluidized bed boiler, b. a mechanical classifier (10) comprising a mesh size from 200 to 1,000 μm designed to separate a coarse and a fine particle size fraction, c. a magnetic separator (12) designed to magnetically classify the fine particle fraction from the mechanical classifier, d. a device for recirculating the magnetic particle fraction into the boiler. The invention allows effective recirculation and reuse of ilmenite bed material.
