Influence of Oxy-fuel Atmosphere on Microscopic Physical-Chemical Properties of High-alkali Ash at Softening Temperature. (December 2017) - Wang, Chang'an
Abstract: The utilization of high-alkali coals in Zhundong coalfield with oxy-fuel combustion technology has a great potential, however, the ash fusion properties of high-alkali coals are still unclear. Here, we studied the influence of oxy-fuel atmosphere on the microscopic properties of high-sodium ash. The change from air to oxy-fuel condition has a negligible influence on ash fusion temperatures, but exhibits certain impact on physical-chemical properties of high-alkali ash. Oxygen content presents a primary effect on the microscopic morphology of ash at softening temperature.
