TL;DR: A comprehensive review of CO2 capture in coal-fired combustion plants can be found in this article, where the status of the technology development and assessments providing comparisons with other power generation options, and suggests research needs.

TL;DR: A comprehensive assessment on oxyfuel combustion in a pilot-scale oxyfuel furnace, modifying the design criterion for an oxy retrofit by matching heat transfer, a new 4-grey gas model which accurately predicts emissivity of the gases in oxy-fired furnaces has been developed for furnace modelling, the first measurements of coal reactivity comparisons in air and oxyfuel at laboratory and pilot scale; and predictions of observed delays in flame ignition in oxyfiring as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the validity of thermal analysis methods to characterise fusion of biomass and waste ashes to predict the proportion of melted species resulting from combustion of biomass fuels.

TL;DR: In this article, coal characteristics have been identified that correlate with the formation of fine ash during coal combustion, and coal selection based on char characterization and ash fusion temperature could play an important role in the minimization of the fine ash formed.

TL;DR: This paper examined the variability occurring between the submicron ashes formed from coals of similar rank and found that the condensation of evaporated species is responsible for the formation of ash particles smaller than 0.3μm.
