Effects of the addition of RPF and woody biomass on PM emissions during co-firing with coal

Yanchi Jiang et al.

Summary: Two Cl-free refuse plastic and paper fuels (RPFs) produced by hydrothermal treatment with Ca(OH)2, as well as two biomasses, were co-fired with bituminous coal to reduce SO2 emissions and inhibit PM formation. The addition of biomass and RPF led to the formation of sticky particles, which absorbed alkali vapor and fine grains to control PM emissions. The co-firing of RPF with bituminous coal provides a solution for controlling greenhouse gas emissions, gaseous pollutants, and PM while remediating plastic waste.

Impact of potassium on bio-ash slagging and resultant slag flowing characteristics under mild reducing environment

Tanvir Alam et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of potassium (K) on the flowability of bio-slag in a reducing gas environment at temperatures ranging from 900 to 1400 degrees Celsius. The flow rate of bio-slag was compared to that of coal slag using the inclined plate method. It was found that the presence of K2O and Al2O3 in bio-slag favors the formation of solid KAlSi2O6, resulting in a lower flow rate compared to coal slag, which is rich in CaO and Al2O3 and favors the formation of molten species. Additional K in bio-ash was found to enhance the flow rate, but it was still lower than that of coal slag due to the superiority of Ca2+ over K+ in promoting bio-slag flow. The use of CaO as a flux additive and monitoring the flow rates of bio-slag in low-angle locations within the furnace are recommended for practical applications.

Flue Gas-Enhanced Water Leaching: AAEM Removal from Agricultural Organic Solid Waste and Fouling and Slagging Suppression during Its Combustion

Xiangxi Wang et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel flue gas-enhanced water leaching (FG-WL) method using flue gas as the heat and CO2 source for effective removal of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs) from agricultural organic solid waste (AOSW) and prevents fouling and slagging during its combustion. FG-WL shows significantly higher AAEM removal rate than conventional water leaching (WL) under the same pretreatment conditions. It also reduces the release of AAEMs, S, and Cl during AOSW combustion. The ash fusion temperatures of FG-WL-treated AOSW are higher than that of WL-treated AOSW, indicating reduced fouling and slagging tendency. FG-WL provides a simple and feasible method for AAEM removal from AOSW and suppressing fouling and slagging, and it also offers a new pathway for the resource utilization of power plant flue gas.

Effects of AAEMs on the char heterogeneous structure evolution during Zhundong coal pyrolysis: Insights from micro-Raman spectroscopy

Qichen He et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of alkali and alkaline earth metallic species (AAEMs) on the heterogeneous evolution of coal/char structure during pyrolysis. The results showed that water-soluble AAEMs inhibit the release of volatiles, while ion-exchangeable AAEMs promote the release of volatiles at the early stage of pyrolysis. Both types of AAEMs increase the relative amount of small aromatic rings. Water-soluble AAEMs promote the crack and transformation of active components, while ion-exchangeable AAEMs promote the breakdown of chemical bonds between aromatic rings.

Effects of ultra-low emission air pollution control devices on the evolution of PM and its associated water-soluble ions in a 1000 MW coal-fired power plant

Fangqi Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the PM evolution in an ultra-low emission CFPP. The results showed that PM generally decreased along with flue gas steam, but PM1 increased at SCR outlet and GGH outlet. The proportion of WSIs in PM increased with the increase of flue gas steam, with SO42-and Ca2+ being the main components. ESP had high removal efficiency for PM1, PM2.5, and PM10, and PM reduced by more than 50% after WFGD and WESP. PM emissions met ultra-low emission requirements, with average emission factors of 8.73, 15.90, and 21.04 g/t_fuel for PM1, PM2.5, and PM10.

Effect of preheating Co-firing of biomass and coal on the synergistic reduction of PM and NO source emissions

Liang Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the preheating co-firing behavior of coal and biomass and its impact on PM and NO emissions. It shows that preheating combustion reduces PM1, PM1-10, and NO emissions from coal by 22.30%, 10.75%, and 49.84% respectively, and reduces emissions from biomass by 28.61%, 15.16%, and 53.01% respectively compared to conventional combustion. Preheating co-firing experiments reveal that as the co-firing ratio increases, NO emissions decrease, but the emissions of PM1 initially decrease and then increase, reaching a minimum at a co-firing ratio of 25%. The lower the rank of the coal, the better the effect of preheating combustion and preheating co-firing, and the ash content and composition of coal also impact the generation of PM1.

Seyedhassan Fakourian et al.

Summary: There is global interest in repurposing electric utility boilers to fire woody biomass or blends of woody biomass with coal instead of pulverized coal. An investigation into the behavior of mineral particles in two prepared biomass/coal blends and pure coal fired in a 1500 kW pulverized coal combustor was conducted. The experimental results at pilot-scale showed little difference in mineral behavior between coal and biomass blends, with slightly enriched aerosol particles in biomass blends and higher initial deposition rates for biomass blends.

MILD combustion of co-firing biomass and pulverized coal fuel blend for heterogeneous fuel NO and PM2.5 emission reduction

Fan Hu et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigates the performance of a sawdust and bituminous coal blend under MILD combustion conditions and measures the PM2.5 emissions. The results show that MILD combustion of the blend can reduce fuel-NO emissions by at least 45.5% compared to conventional swirl flame combustion. Additionally, the PM2.5 emissions are decreased by over 37%. The findings suggest that MILD combustion is an effective method to utilize biomass fuel blends on a large scale.

NO formation during co-combustion of coal with two thermally treated biomasses

Thomas Allguren et al.

Summary: This study investigated the combustion behavior of biomass with different pre-treatments and studied the formation of NOx in co-firing experiments. The results showed that the amount of fuel-bound nitrogen in coal is higher than that in biomass fuels, resulting in higher NO formation. Further analysis revealed that the distribution of volatile nitrogen species varied in the biomass co-firing cases, which was suggested as the main reason for the observed difference in NO formation.

Co-firing of coal and biomass under pressurized oxy-fuel combustion mode in a 10 kWth fluidized bed: Nitrogen and sulfur pollutants

Qinwen Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the nitrogen and sulfur pollutants generated from co-firing coal and biomass under pressurized oxy-fuel combustion. The results show that increasing combustion pressure and biomass blending ratio can significantly reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide, and improve the sulfur self-retention efficiency. The study also reveals that sulfur self-retention occurs through direct sulfation under the typical operating temperature range. Additionally, the pressurized and co-firing conditions have a synergistic effect on reducing sulfur dioxide emissions.
