The formation of PM10 (particles less than or equal to 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter) during char combustion in both air-firing and oxy-firing was investigated. Three Chinese coals of different ranks (i.e., DT bituminous coal, CF lignite, and YQ anthracite) were devolatilized at 1300 °C in N2 and CO2 atmosphere, respectively, in a drop tube furnace (DTF). The resulting N2-chars and CO2-chars were burned at 1300 °C in both air-firing (O2/N2 = 21/79) and oxy-firing (O2/CO2 = 21/79). The effects of char properties and combustion conditions on PM10 formation during char combustion were studied. It was found that the formation modes and particle size distribution of PM10 from char combustion whether in air-firing or in oxy-firing were similar to those from pulverized coal combustion. The significant amounts of PM0.5 (particles less than or equal to 0.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter) generated from combustion of various chars suggested that the mineral matter left in the chars after coal devolatilization still had great contributions to the formation of ultrafine particles even during the char combustion stage. The concentration of PM10 from char combustion in oxy-firing was generally less than that in air-firing. The properties of the CO2-chars were different from those of the N2-chars, which was likely due to gasification reactions coal particles experienced during devolatilization in CO2 atmosphere. Regardless of the combustion modes, PM10 formation in combustion of N2-char and CO2-char from the same coal was found to be significantly dependent on char properties. The difference in the PM10 formation behavior between the N2-char and CO2-char was coal-type dependent.  相似文献

Char samples representing a range of combustion conditions and extents of burnout were obtained from a well-characterized laminar flow combustion experiment. Individual particles from the parent coal and char samples were characterized to determine distributions in particle volume, mass, and density at different extent of burnout. The data were then compared with predictions from a comprehensive char combustion model referred to as the char burnout kinetics model (CBK). The data clearly reflect the particle-to-particle heterogeneity of the parent coal and show a significant broadening in the size and density distributions of the chars resulting from both devolatilization and combustion. Data for chars prepared in a lower oxygen content environment (6% oxygen by vol.) are consistent with zone II type combustion behavior where most of the combustion is occurring near the particle surface. At higher oxygen contents (12% by vol.), the data show indications of more burning occurring in the particle interior. The CBK model does a good job of predicting the general nature of the development of size and density distributions during burning but the input distribution of particle size and density is critical to obtaining good predictions. A significant reduction in particle size was observed to occur as a result of devolatilization. For comprehensive combustion models to provide accurate predictions, this size reduction phenomenon needs to be included in devolatilization models so that representative char distributions are carried through the calculations.  相似文献

Characterization of high heating rate chars of biomass fuels   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Data on biomass chars obtained under conditions similar to those of practical applications (high heating rate and low residence time) are required for co-combustion and gasification plants. A methodological procedure is developed and applied to two biomass fuels (cacao shells and olive cake) for producing high heating rate chars and characterizing their reactivity and morphology after the first steps of devolatilization. Different chars are produced in a drop tube reactor (rapid pyrolysis) by varying the nominal temperature and the residence time. Oxidation in air is performed to compare typical temperatures and kinetic parameters and evaluate the effect of the operating conditions on char reactivity. A detailed SEM analysis allows to assess the structural variations during the pyrolysis and detect the main phenomena (softening, swelling, melting, formation of bubbles). A quantitative morphological study is also performed to provide size and shape (important for biomasses) distributions of the parent fuel and the chars. These data are more significant than average values in advanced model to correctly simulate the fluid dynamic behaviour of each dimensional class of particles in large scale furnaces and gasifiers and predict a more reliable residence time of the particles.  相似文献

Combining polarizing-filtered planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) with simultaneous laser absorption, quantitative laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and two-color pyrometry, the potassium release during the combustion of biomass fuels (corn straw and poplar) has been investigated. The temporal release profiles of volatile atomic potassium and potassium compounds from a corn straw show a single peak. The woody biomass, poplar, produces a dual-maxima distribution for potassium and potassium compounds. For both biomass samples, the highest concentrations of released atomic potassium and potassium compounds occur in the devolatilization stage. The mass ratios between volatile atomic potassium and potassium compounds in the corn straw and poplar cases are 0.77% and 0.79%, respectively. These values agree well with chemical equilibrium predictions that 0.68% of total potassium will be in atomic form. A two-step kinetic model of potassium release has been developed, which gives better predictions during the devolatilization stage than the existing single-step model. Finally, a map of potassium transformation processes during combustion is developed. Starting with inorganic and organic potassium, there are eight proposed transformation pathways including five proposed release pathways that occur during the combustion. The pathways describe the transformation of potassium between the fuel volatile matter, char, and ash. Potassium release during the devolatilization stage is due to pyrolysis and evaporation; during the char burnout stage, potassium release is due to char oxidation and decomposition; and during the ash cooking stage, potassium release is caused by reactions between the ash and H2O in the co-flow.  相似文献

In this paper, the correlations between coal/char fragmentation and fly ash formation during pulverized coal combustion are investigated. We observed an explosion-like fragmentation of Zhundong coal in the early devolatilization stage by means of high-speed photography in the Hencken flat-flame burner. While high ash-fusion (HAF) bituminous and coal-derived char samples only undergo gentle perimeter fragmentation in the char burning stage. Simultaneously, combustion experiments of two kinds of coals were conducted in a 25?kW down-fired combustor. The particle size distributions (PSDs) of both fine particulates (PM1-10) and bulk fly ash (PM10+) were measured by Electrical Low Pressure Impactor (ELPI) and Malvern Mastersizer 2000, respectively. The results show that the mass PSD of residual fly ash (PM1+) from Zhundong coal exhibits a bi-modal shape with two peaks located at 14?µm and 102?µm, whereas that from HAF coal only possesses a single peak at 74?µm. A hybrid model accounting for multiple-route ash formation processes is developed to predict the PSD of fly ash during coal combustion. By incorporating coal/char fragmentation sub-models, the simulation can quantitatively reproduce the measured PM1+ PSDs for different kinds of coals. The sensitivity analysis further reveals that the bi-modal mass distribution of PM1+ intrinsically results from the coal fragmentation during devolatilization.  相似文献

O2/CO2 combustion has attracted considerable attention as a promising technology for CO2 capture. Using biomass for fuel is considered carbon neutral, and O2/CO2 biomass combustion can mitigate the deleterious environmental effect of greenhouse. In this study, the effect of CO2, the main component gas in O2/CO2 combustion, on the pyrolysis characteristics of biomass is investigated. Cellulose, lignin, and metal-depleted lignin pyrolysis experiments were performed using a thermobalance. Information on the surface chemistry of the chars was obtained by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to investigate changes in the surface chemistry during pyrolysis under different surrounding gasses. When the temperature increased to 1073 K at heating rate of 1 K s?1, the char yield of lignin in the presence of CO2 increased by about 10% compared with that under Ar. However, for cellulose and metal-depleted lignin, no significant difference appeared between pyrolysis under CO2 and that under Ar. FT-IR showed that a strong peak corresponding to carbonate ions appeared in the char derived from lignin under CO2. Therefore, salts such as Na2CO3 or K2CO3 formed during the lignin pyrolysis under CO2. At around 1650–1770 cm?1, a significant difference appeared in the FTIR spectra of chars formed under CO2 and those formed under Ar. C=O groups not associated with an aromatic ring were found only in chars formed under CO2. It was suggested that these salts affected the char formation reaction, in that the char formed during lignin pyrolysis under CO2 had unique chemical bands that did not appear in the lignin-derived char prepared under Ar.  相似文献

Oxy-fuel combustion of coal is a promising technology for cost-effective power production with carbon capture and sequestration that has ancillary benefits of emission reductions and lower flue gas cleanup costs. To fully understand the results of pilot-scale tests of oxy-fuel combustion and to accurately predict scale-up performance through CFD modeling, fundamental data are needed concerning coal and coal char combustion properties under these unconventional conditions. In the work reported here, the ignition and devolatilization characteristics of both a high-volatile bituminous coal and a Powder River Basin subbituminous coal were analyzed in detail through single-particle imaging at a gas temperature of 1700 K over a range of 12–36 vol % O2 in both N2 and CO2 diluent gases. The bituminous coal images show large, hot soot cloud radiation whose size and shape vary with oxygen concentration and, to a lesser extent, with the use of N2 versus CO2 diluent gas. Subbituminous coal images show cooler, smaller emission signals during devolatilization that have the same characteristic size as the coal particles introduced into the flow (nominally 100 μm). The measurements also demonstrate that the use of CO2 diluent retards the onset of ignition and increases the duration of devolatilization, once initiated. For a given diluent gas, a higher oxygen concentration yields shorter ignition delay and devolatilization times. The effect of CO2 on coal particle ignition is explained by its higher molar specific heat and its tendency to reduce the local radical pool. The effect of O2 on coal particle ignition results from its effect on the local mixture reactivity. CO2 decreases the rate of devolatilization because of the lower mass diffusivity of volatiles in CO2 mixtures, whereas higher O2 concentrations increase the mass flux of oxygen to the volatiles flame and thereby increase the rate of devolatilization.  相似文献

A carrier-phase direct numerical simulation (CP-DNS) of pulverized coal combustion in a mixing layer is performed, considering three NOx formation mechanisms (fuel-NOx, thermal-NOx and prompt-NOx). Detailed analyses, including reaction path analysis, chemical timescale analysis, and a priori and budget analyses are conducted to investigate the NOx production mechanisms and the performance of the flamelet model. Considering the high computational cost of CP-DNS, this work focuses on the early phase governed by devolatilization, where char reactions are less important. The reaction path analyses show that the principal thermal-NO reaction contributes to the net consumption of NO in fuel-bound nitrogen pulverized coal flames, which is essentially different from fuel-nitrogen-free flames. The chemical timescale analyses show that the production rates of NOx species are faster than those of major species, which confirms the suitability of the flamelet tables. The a priori analyses show that the gas temperature and major/intermediate species can be predicted well by the flamelet model, while the NOx species show significant discrepancies in certain regions. Finally, the budget analyses explain why the flamelet model performs differently for major/intermediate and NOx species.  相似文献

NOx formation was measured during combustion of pulverized coals and pulverized coal char in N2 and CO2 environments under isothermal and nearly constant oxygen conditions (i.e. using dilute coal loading). Three different oxygen concentrations (12% O2, 24% O2, and 36% O2) and two representative US coals were investigated, at a gas temperature of 1050 °C. To investigate the importance of NO reburn reactions, experiments were also performed with an elevated concentration (550 ppm) of NO in the gases into which the coal was introduced. For low levels of background NO, the fractional fuel-nitrogen conversion to NOx increases dramatically with increasing bath gas oxygen content, for both N2 and CO2 environments, though the fuel conversion is generally lower in CO2 environments. Char N conversion is lower than volatile N conversion, especially for elevated O2 concentrations. These results highlight the importance of the volatile flame and char combustion temperatures on NOx formation. For the high background NOx condition, net NOx production is only observed in the 36% O2 environment. Under these dilute loading conditions, NO reburn is found to be between 20% and 40%, depending on the type of coal, the use of N2 or CO2 diluent, the bulk O2 concentration, and whether or not one considers reburn of volatile-NOx. This dataset provides a unique opportunity to understand and differentiate the different sources and sinks of NOx under oxy-fuel combustion conditions.  相似文献

Two kinds of char were prepared from a lignite by fast pyrolysis using a drop tube furnace and by slow pyrolysis using a fixed-bed furnace at the temperature of 1273 K. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and the BET method were employed to characterize char properties. The chars were gasified with CO2, H2O and their mixtures in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) system to investigate gasification kinetics and derive the rate expression. To validate the gasification rate equation derived from TGA, a fluidized-bed gasification experiment was also carried out. The results showed that both fast-char and slow-char were mainly composed of dense char. The shrinking core model was applicable to predict both gasification of fast-char and slow-char. It was found that the char gasification rate in the mixtures of CO2 and H2O was obviously lower than the sum of the two rates of the char independently reacting with CO2 and H2O but higher than the rate of each independent reaction, for both the fast-char gasification and slow-char gasification. Both of the results from the TGA and the fluidized-bed reactor showed that char-H2O reaction was independent on char-CO2 reaction, while char-CO2 reaction was inhibited by char-H2O reaction.  相似文献
