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 paper, the physical and chemical structures of biomass char were studied to gain insight into the role of heating rate and pressure on the gasification characteristics of biomass chars generated in a suite of reactors.

TL;DR: In this article, different methods and techniques have been suggested for the consumption of bulk red mud to maintain a sustainable environment, and an appropriate costbenefit analysis of the existing technologies needs to be examined in the future because of the high cost of the transportation of a large amount of red mud from alumina refineries to the point of application.

TL;DR: The reactivity of four pulverised Australian coals were measured under simulated air and oxy-fuel (O 2 /N 2 ) and O 2 /CO 2 ) environments using a drop tube furnace (DTF) maintained at 1673 K and a thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) run under non-isothermal (heating) conditions at temperatures up to 1473 K.

TL;DR: An overview of these technology options, particularly those proposed/developed over the last 3 years, is presented in this paper as discussed by the authors, however, would be primarily on process-related aspects of such advanced chemical looping concepts for novel energy and fuels applications rather than aspects such as oxygen carriers, redox properties, and solid circulation/transport.
