Fouling propensities of blended coals in pulverized coal-fired power station boilers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the experimental results on the fouling propensity of five pairs of blended coals (19 coals and blends) tested in the Australian Coal Industry Research Laboratory (ACIRL) furnace.

Sulfation of Condensed Potassium Chloride by SO2

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the sulfation of KCl (90-125 μm) by SO2 in a fixed bed reactor in the temperature range 673-1023 K and with reactant concentrations of 500-3000 ppm SO2, 1-20% O2, and 4-15% H2O.

Nitrogen in Biomass Char and Its Fate during Combustion: A Model Compound Approach

TL;DR: In this article, low heating rate biomass model chars were prepared from a combination of either cellulose or glucose and five of the amino acids most commonly found in terrestrial biomass: l-proline, l-glutamine, lhistidine, lasparagine, and l-tryptophan.

Suspension-Firing of Biomass. Part 1: Full-Scale Measurements of Ash Deposit Build-up

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an advanced online deposit probe that allowed nearly continuous measurement of the deposited mass, and two different measures of deposit formation rate were used in the analysis of the data.

Carbon-negative emissions: Systemic impacts of biomass conversion: A case study on CO2 capture and storage options

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the feasibility of carbon-negative energy solutions in coal power plants with direct-and co-firing of biomass and coal, and concluded that in the case of a coal power plant equipped with CCS, more net electric energy can be provided from the feedstock of biomass than would be obtainable from an independent BECCS plant, although the amount of CO2 captured and stored from the biomass (per tonne) will be essentially the same.

Wood ash composition as a function of furnace temperature

TL;DR: In this paper, the elemental and molecular composition of mineral matter in five wood types and two barks was investigated as a function of temperature using thermal gravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction.

Ash deposition during biomass and coal combustion: A mechanistic approach

TL;DR: In this article, a mechanistic approach to describing the fate of inorganic material in solid fuels with a particular focus on the mechanisms of ash deposition is presented. But this approach has the potential of embracing a large range of fuel variations, combustor types, and operating conditions without the need of developing extensive databases or testing procedures for each new situation.
