Experimental and kinetics analyses of a typical Zhundong coal reaction in O2/CO2/H2O atmosphere

Xiaoqian Liu et al.

Summary: Oxy-fuel combustion is a promising carbon capture technology that can alleviate the slagging and fouling issues in high alkali Zhundong coal-fired boilers. However, the existing kinetic models often neglect the gasification reactions by CO2 and H2O, leading to insufficient prediction accuracy. This study established a co-gasification reaction model and proposed a novel method considering the chemical cooling effect to calculate the char-O-2 reaction rate under high temperature and complex atmosphere. A comprehensive high temperature gasification reaction model was successfully developed.

Modeling of single-particle char combustion under O2/H2O conditions: Effects of temperature and steam concentration

Kun Chen et al.

Summary: The study found through numerical simulations that increasing H2O concentration reduces the average temperature of char particles, and O2 consumption in the boundary layer accounts for 50% of the total O2 consumption. Higher temperatures and H2O concentrations enhance competition for O2 by homogeneous reactions.

Effect of CO2 and H2O on lignite char structure and reactivity in a fluidized bed reactor

Lin Li et al.

Summary: By comparing chars produced under different atmospheres, it was found that the pore structure and specific surface area of chars are significantly affected by the gasification environment, while the presence of chemical groups has a minor impact on the chars. The best gasification reactivities were obtained on the chars produced under 50%CO2/50%N2 and 50%H2O/50%N2 atmospheres, largely influenced by the porosity of the chars.

Reaction behaviors of a single coal char particle affected by oxygen and steam under oxy-fuel combustion

Zewu Zhang et al.

Summary: The addition of steam promotes the formation of H2, while the increase in oxygen content enhances the generation of CO. The sensitivity of oxygen and steam content varies for different reactions, with H2O playing a crucial role in some reactions. The competition between different reactions is affected by changes in steam concentration.

Identifying the contribution of rich-CO2/H2O gasification on the char conversion in typical atmospheres of chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling via single particle simulation

Chuanbao Zheng et al.

Summary: This study used single particle simulation to investigate the contribution of rich-CO2/H2O gasification reactions to char conversion in chemical looping with oxygen uncoupling (CLOU). The results show that the gasification reactions occurring in the inner core of the char particle hardly influence the oxidation reaction dominating the external layer, and the overall contribution of gasification reactions on the char conversion ranges from 1 to 20% in CLOU conditions.

Effects of CO2 and H2O on oxy-fuel combustion characteristics and structural evolutions of Zhundong coal pellet at fast heating rate

Chi Huanying et al.

Summary: The combustion characteristics and structural evolutions of Zhundong coal pellet were investigated under different atmospheres with fast heating rate. The addition of H2O increased the maximum temperature and mass loss rate, while the addition of CO2 decreased them. Different atmospheres also affected the ignition delay and consumption rates of functional groups during coal combustion.

Effect of steam addition on turbulence-chemistry interaction behaviors of pulverized coal MILD-oxy combustion

Zhenghong Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of steam addition on turbulent mixing and chemical reaction in pulverized coal MILD-oxy combustion. The results show that steam affects flame temperature, weakens internal flue gas recirculation, and transitions the combustion towards turbulent mixing control. With increasing steam concentration, chemical reactions shift towards diffusion-controlled regime.

Ashok Prabhakar et al.

Summary: The single-particle combined pyrolysis and gasification characteristics of Indian sub-bituminous coal in the presence of steam and CO2 were investigated. A comprehensive transient model incorporating heat and mass transport limitations was validated against experimental findings. The major components of evolved volatiles during pyrolysis were quantitatively measured, with gasification rates increasing with reactor temperature.
