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: A review of the technologies for coal-based power generation closest to commercial application involving carbon capture is presented in this paper, where the R&D challenges identified for the combustion scientist and engineer are those of design, optimisation and operational aspects of new combustion and gasification plant, controlling the gas quality required by CCS related units and associated emission compliance, and gas separations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of coal devolatilization studies, especially the experimental studies and modelling efforts on the formation of char structure of bituminous coals in the open literature.

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.
