This study investigates the effects of coal type, NH3 injection mode, temperature, excess air ratio (alpha), and NH3 co-firing ratio (ENH3) on combustion characteristics and fuel-N transformation of ammonia/pulverized coal. The results show that ammonia co-firing can reduce CO emissions and convert fuel-N to N2. From the perspective of emission control and decarbonization, an ENH3 = 40% is the optimal ammonia co-firing ratio for reducing CO2 emissions and minimizing fuel-N conversion ratio and residual NH3.
As a feasible way to decarbonize coal combustion under the background of carbon neutrality in recent years, ammonia co-firing with pulverized coal is receiving considerable critical attention from the academic and industrial communities. This paper investigates the effects of coal type, NH3 injection mode, temperature, excess air ratio (alpha) and NH3 co-firing ratio (ENH3) on combustion characteristics and fuel-N transformation of ammonia/ pulverized coal in a 6 kW drop tube furnace. Emission of O2, CO2, CO, NO, NO2 and NH3 at the furnace exit was monitored online. The unburned carbon (UBC) content and elementary composition in fly ash were also tested. Results show that NOx generation behaviors of premixed and staged modes are significantly different. Typically, NOx emission peaks at ENH3 = 20 % under high temperature and staged mode. As for NH3/coal cases at 1000 degrees C, NOx level is even lower than pure coal combustion, but NH3 residue is higher. The water gas shift reaction (WGSR) under fuel-rich condition generates more CO, and the conversion ratio from fuel-N to NOx decreases when alpha diminishes. Ammonia co-firing can achieve lower CO emission with anthracitic coal from Gongyi (GYcoal) while lower NOx emission with bituminous coal from Inner Mongolia (IM-coal). Ammonia co-firing can considerably improve the transformation from fuel-N to N2. From the perspective of emission control and decarbonization, ENH3 = 40 % is an optimal ammonia co-firing ratio which not only can reduce half of CO2 but also brings the conversion ratio from fuel-N to NOx and residual NH3 to the minimum level. The micromorphology of ash samples is greatly affected by coal/ammonia co-firing. In premixed mode, the surface of ash sample is porous and adhered to each other; while in staged mode, obvious fractures and cuts exist between the ash particles due to the sharp decrease of local gas temperature.
