Understanding apparent kinetics of single large fuel particle combustion is of significance to the design and optimization of grate-firing and circulating fluidized bed boilers. Based on the concept of finite reaction zone approximation, a simple heterogeneous single particle model was formulated to consider the effects of external gas film, ash la...

The suppression of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is the key to reducing pollutant emission of a domestic coal-fired stove due to the limitation of technology condition and economic cost. The decoupling combustion (DC) technology invented by Institute of Process Engineering (IPE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is characterized by that a traditional stov...

The reaction of NO with chars of sewage sludge, refuse derived fuel (RDF), and straw was investigated in a fixed bed reactor at temperatures from 800 to 900 degrees C and NO inlet concentrations from 400 to 1500 ppmv. The effect of ash forming elements in the chars was examined by comparing the reactivity of raw and demineralized chars. Compared to...

This paper presents ReaxFF molecular dynamics simulations of pyrolysis and oxidation processes at 500-2500 K and 1000-2800 K performed using the GPU-enabled ReaxFF MD code of GMD-Reax and reaction analysis code of VARxMD. The simulation results of a large-scale coal model with varied types of N-containing groups shows that more than 65% N still rem...
Carbon capture and sequestration of CO2 from the combustion of fossil fuels in thermal power plants is expected to be important in the mitigation of climate change. Deployment however falls far short of what is required . A key barrier is the perception by developers and investors that these technologies are too inefficient, expensive and risky. To...
Agglomeration of ash in fluidized bed combustors may result in defluidization and subsequent downtime of the installation. Previous research has shown that Ca-based additives can prevent agglomeration, but the added amount was determined arbitrarily and testing occurred only on lab scale or pilot scale. This paper presents a statistical approach, b...
This review provides a comprehensive assessment of recently improved carbon dioxide (CO2) separation and capture systems, used in power plants and other industrial processes. Different approaches for CO2 capture are pre-combustion, post-combustion capture, and oxy-combustion systems, which are reviewed, along with their advantages and disadvantages...
