A Microstructural and Kinetic Investigation of the KCl-Induced Corrosion of an FeCrAl Alloy at 600 °C

TL;DR: In this paper, the corrosion behavior of a FeCrAl alloy was investigated at 600°C in O2+H2O with solid KCl applied, and it was shown that KCl accelerates corrosion and that potassium chromate formation depletes the protective scale in Cr, thus triggering the formation of a fast-growing iron-rich scale.

Gas emissions from a large scale circulating fluidized bed boilers burning lignite and biomass

TL;DR: In this article, a coal combustion model in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) was employed to predict co-combustion of lignite and biomass processes, and the validity of the model was successfully performed on a large-scale 261MW e COMPACT CFB boiler.

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.
