平朔煤热解过程中PAHs的释放特性

利用热解-气质联用仪(PY-GC-MS)研究了平朔煤在不同热解温度下多环芳烃(PHAs)的释放规律,并探讨了该过程中PAHs的生成机理。研究结果表明,16种PAHs的生成总量随着热解温度的升高先增大后减少,在800℃达到最大值。且PAHs环数分布规律对热解温度具有显著的依赖性,不同环数的PAHs,其最大生成量时所对应的热解温度亦不同。随着热解温度的升高,煤结构中的桥键、芳香环上的脂肪侧链以及较难断裂的甲基、酚羟基等依次断裂,使得PAHs的生成量不断增加,当温度升高至1 000、1 200℃时,伴随着缩合反应加剧,大环PAHs的生成量继续增加。由总体趋势看出,平朔煤大分子网络结构的热裂解主要发生在600~800℃,热解缩合反应主要发生在高温下。平朔煤热解过程中的PAHs除小部分来自煤中可萃取的芳烃结构挥发外,主要来自煤中大分子芳香结构裂解以及热解生成自由基碎片的高温聚合。     

循环流化床燃煤过程NO、N2O和SO2的排放行为研究

在30kW循环流化床装置上进行了中国西部三种煤的燃烧实验，考查了燃烧温度、空气分级、空气过剩系数、固体颗粒循环料率和煤种等因素对NO、N2O、SO2污染物排放的影响。结果表明，强化空气分级可显著降低高挥发分煤种NO的生成量，但对N2O影响不大；增加空气过剩系数同时增加了NO与N2O的排放；增加固体循环料率显著降低NO生成量，但N2O排放略有增加；高阶煤燃烧生成较多N2O，低阶煤生成较多NO。燃烧温度1120K、过剩空气系数1.25下约85%燃料中N转化为N。实验范围内改变操作参数不影响SO2与CO排放量。     

铜及氧化铜对煤燃烧过程多环芳烃排放的影响

在实验管式炉上研究了金属铜和氧化铜对烟煤燃烧过程中PAHs生成的影响。采用气相色谱分析PAHs。实验结果表明，铜会促进PAHs的生成，而且主要是促进中高分子量PAHs的生成，这是由于铜为PAHs的合成提供了大量的活性反应中心。另一方面氧化铜对PAHs的合成和裂解具有双重催化效果，从而显著增加了中分子量PAHs的排放。在800 ℃以下，添加铜和氧化铜都减小了PAHs排放的毒性当量。在900 ℃以上，添加铜增大了PAHs排放的毒性当量。添加氧化铜时与添加铜时的规律类似，但是在1100℃以上，PAHs排放的毒性当量要比不添加时小。

对胜利脱灰褐煤的燃烧反应性进行了测试,并利用FT-IR、XPS、XRD和Raman等对不同条件下的未反应残留物进行了表征,以分析胜利脱灰褐煤在燃烧过程中微结构演变特性。结果表明,在燃烧反应过程中,煤样的脂肪族官能团不断消耗,碳氧官能团和芳烃骨架的消耗与生成交替进行,褐煤表面C-C/C-H键合结构所占比例先增加后减少,碳-氧键合结构所占比例先减小后增加,未反应残留物的芳香度不断升高,褐煤的石墨缺陷指数先增加后降低,而脂肪族侧链指数则呈现先减少后增加的变化规律,表明随着燃烧反应进行对褐煤未反应残留物的石墨化程度逐渐提高,特别是在燃烧反应后期,石墨化程度显著提高。     

SO2在Fe2O3颗粒表面不同温度下非均相反应的实验模拟

使用漫反射Fourier变换红外光谱(DFTIRS)、离子色谱(IC)及透射电子显微镜(TEM)对不同温度条件下SO2在α-Fe2O3颗粒表面的非均相反应过程进行实验模拟和监测,并分析了反应剧烈波段(8.7μm)的产物硫酸盐以及颗粒吸收和后向散射光学系数的变化.结果表明,在15-45℃内,硫酸盐生成量、生成速率以及吸收系数、后向散射系数都随反应温度的升高而呈现先增加后减少的趋势;同一反应温度下,硫酸盐生成速率随时间呈现先增大后减小,最后逐渐趋于稳定的演变;光学系数变化与硫酸盐生成量之间存在较好的指数关系.在当前全球气候变暖背景下,研究结果将对深入了解真实大气中SO2与矿尘非均相反应造成的气溶胶光学特性演变,以及定量评估其辐射强迫影响具有一定意义.     

污泥化学链燃烧过程中氮迁移转化特性研究

在单流化床反应器上探究了污泥化学链燃烧过程中氮迁移转化特性。由于赤铁矿载氧体反应活性低,采用30%水泥对其改性。结果表明,水泥改性可提高污泥热解气化反应速率以及赤铁矿还原反应速率,进而提高污泥碳转化率,但是NO生成率也增加。随着反应温度的升高,污泥的碳转化率和NO生成率均增加。另外,随着水蒸气浓度的增加,碳转化率增加,同时可降低NO生成。在污泥化学链燃烧过程中,NO生成率为0.286%-0.768%,低于污泥空气焚烧氮氧化物排放量。     

煤燃烧过程生成氮氧化物前驱体的研究

对煤中氮在燃烧条件下生成NOx前驱体（HCN、NH3）进行了研究。实验采用石英玻璃管流化床反应系统，测定了神木煤、澳大利亚烟煤、澳大利亚褐煤在400 ℃～900 ℃HCN、NH3的生成，用离子色谱测定了HCN、NH3的生成量，用差热分析测定了三种煤的燃烧峰温及起始燃烧温度。实验结果表明，在燃烧条件下煤中氮转化为HCN、NH3的比例很高，这一释出过程伴随着煤燃烧过程而发生; 在400 ℃～500 ℃燃烧时HCN、NH3的生成量占煤中总氮质量分数的50%～70%,无论是煤挥发分还是半焦中的氮都在此条件下转化生成了HCN、NH3, 这一实验规律与热解条件的实验结果不同。煤样在更高的温度下燃烧（>700 ℃）时，气体产物中的HCN、NH3的质量分数很少，这是HCN、NH3进一步氧化生成了NOx的缘故。     

烟气中多环芳烃吸附脱除的研究

针对热电厂烟气中排放的多环芳烃（PAHs）污染物，在实验室规模上研究了六种吸附剂对烟气中典型的PAHs, 如萘（Nap）、芴（Flu）、菲（Phe）的吸附脱除行为。考察了吸附剂结构特征与Nap，Flu，Phe高温脱除的相关性，并对煤质活性炭（AC-1）在160 ℃～200 ℃下的吸附等温线进行了研究。结果表明，吸附剂对PAHs的吸附能力与其结构参数中BET表面积和微孔体积具有紧密相关性，而与中孔体积没有明显关系；活性炭表现出很好的脱除烟气中PAHs的作用；吸附剂对PAHs的吸附能力随着PAHs的质量分数增大而增大，随吸附温度的增加而减小；随着PAHs的碳原子数和芳环数增加，其在吸附剂上的吸附能力也增强。     

氧气浓度对劣质煤掺混生活污泥燃烧特性的影响

采用热重分析方法研究了劣质煤掺混生活污泥在氧气浓度20％、30％、50％、70％、90％条件下的燃烧特性和动力学特性.随着氧气浓度的增加,失重率曲线DTG向低温区移动.对着火温度、失重率峰值以及对应温度、燃尽温度、混合物燃烧综合特性指数进行了对比分析,并对固定碳燃烧阶段的表观活化能进行了计算,结果表明,提高氧气浓度能显著改善燃烧条件,表观活化能随着氧气浓度的提高而增大,随掺混比的增加而减小.定义燃烧促进因子C.E.F.(Combustion Enhancement Factor)表征燃料内外部燃烧促进条件,在固定碳燃烧段,燃烧促进因子随氧气浓度增加迅速增大,表明增大氧气浓度对燃烧具有良好促进作用.燃烧促进因子C.E.F.与表观活化能之间具有动力学补偿效应.     

大同烟煤增压富氧燃烧过程中硫、氯和氟的析出特性

利用高压热重结合傅里叶红外研究了大同烟煤在增压富氧燃烧过程中硫、氯和氟的释放行为,主要考察压力对其析出特性的影响。实验结果表明,压力的改变对煤中硫、氯和氟的迁移转化均有显著影响。随着压力的升高,黄铁矿硫向COS等中间产物的转化率逐渐增加,导致SO2的收率逐步上升,但在3 MPa时,燃煤SO2收率却有所降低。此外,压力升高后反应气氛中CO分压的增加促进了COS的生成,导致其收率逐渐上升。因为煤中有机氯析出和转化与挥发分的释放密切相关,所以高压下挥发分释放量的增加使得煤中有更多的有机氯析出并转化为HCl,而且压力升高后,挥发分燃烧速率和温度的升高促进了无机氟化物分解,HF生成量相应增加。此外,高压下水解反应的强化也提高了HF的收率。     

Indene Formation under Single‐Collision Conditions from the Reaction of Phenyl Radicals with Allene and Methylacetylene—A Crossed Molecular Beam and Ab Initio Study

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are regarded as key intermediates in the molecular growth process that forms soot from incomplete fossil fuel combustion. Although heavily researched, the reaction mechanisms for PAH formation have only been investigated through bulk experiments; therefore, current models remain conjectural. We report the first observation of a directed synthesis of a PAH under single‐collision conditions. By using a crossed‐molecular‐beam apparatus, phenyl radicals react with C₃H₄ isomers, methylacetylene and allene, to form indene at collision energies of 45 kJ mol^?1. The reaction dynamics supported by theoretical calculations show that both isomers decay through the same collision complex, are indirect, have long lifetimes, and form indene in high yields. Through the use of deuterium‐substituted reactants, we were able to identify the reaction pathway to indene.     

Polymer flammability. I

The transport of oxygen by diffusion from the environment into a gas stream was investigated as a model for the analogous process in a diffusion flame. The amount transported at steady-state conditions depended on the flow rate, diameter, and spatial orientation of the gas stream. A change of the same extrinsic parameters in a diffusion flame caused changes of burner surface temperature, maximum flame temperature, and flame height. These responses were correlated and yielded an overall activation energy of the rate-controlling reaction step in the combustion process equal to 49 kcal/mole. This value was the same for several types of diffusion flames examined and appeared to be associated with the CO/CO₂ conversion process at the high-temperature flame boundary. Flame quenching was demonstrated to occur at a minimum fuel flow rate and minimum environmental oxygen concentration which were characteristic for a given fuel. Quenching conditions were related to the diffusion rate of oxygen into the product effluent stream. Quenching of a polymer flame by depletion of environmental oxygen was governed by the same processes. The effect of extrinsic parameters on polymer flames is discussed in Part II.     

Combustion measurement of thermoacoustic oscillating flames by diode-laser absorption spectroscopy sensors

Diode-laser absorption spectroscopy has been applied to a swirl-stabilized turbulent combustor to detect high frequency combustion oscillation and combustion state related to combustion noise. Two diode-laser absorption spectroscopy techniques of scanned-wavelength method and fixed-wavelength method are adopted. In the scanned-wavelength method, fluctuations of temperature and H₂O mole fraction up to 1 kHz are detected. Two dominant peak frequencies of power spectra of these fluctuations, which are about 125 Hz and 140 Hz, coincide with those of pressure fluctuation in the combustor. In the case of control by secondary fuel injection, the energy at peak frequency of temperature and H₂O mole fraction decreases in accordance with noise reduction. Similar to the combustion noise, temperature fluctuation shows a minimal value at the appropriate frequency of secondary fuel injection. By analysing transmitted signals, the fixed-wavelength method provides power spectra similar to those obtained by the scanned-wavelength method. The advantage of the fixed-wavelength method is capability of detection of high frequency combustion oscillation more than 1 kHz. These results prove that the diode-laser absorption spectroscopy has great applicability as sensors for the combustion measurement of thermoacoustic oscillating flames and active control of turbulent combustion.     

Synthesis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Phenyl Addition–Dehydrocyclization: The Third Way

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent the link between resonance‐stabilized free radicals and carbonaceous nanoparticles generated in incomplete combustion processes and in circumstellar envelopes of carbon rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Although these PAHs resemble building blocks of complex carbonaceous nanostructures, their fundamental formation mechanisms have remained elusive. By exploring these reaction mechanisms of the phenyl radical with biphenyl/naphthalene theoretically and experimentally, we provide compelling evidence on a novel phenyl‐addition/dehydrocyclization (PAC) pathway leading to prototype PAHs: triphenylene and fluoranthene. PAC operates efficiently at high temperatures leading through rapid molecular mass growth processes to complex aromatic structures, which are difficult to synthesize by traditional pathways such as hydrogen‐abstraction/acetylene‐addition. The elucidation of the fundamental reactions leading to PAHs is necessary to facilitate an understanding of the origin and evolution of the molecular universe and of carbon in our galaxy.

Chemistry of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons formation from phenyl radical pyrolysis and reaction of phenyl and acetylene

An experimental investigation of phenyl radical pyrolysis and the phenyl radical + acetylene reaction has been performed to clarify the role of different reaction mechanisms involved in the formation and growth of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) serving as precursors for soot formation. Experiments were conducted using GC/GC-MS diagnostics coupled to the high-pressure single-pulse shock tube present at the University of Illinois at Chicago. For the first time, comprehensive speciation of the major stable products, including small hydrocarbons and large PAH intermediates, was obtained over a wide range of pressures (25-60 atm) and temperatures (900-1800 K) which encompass the typical conditions in modern combustion devices. The experimental results were used to validate a comprehensive chemical kinetic model which provides relevant information on the chemistry associated with the formation of PAH compounds. In particular, the modeling results indicate that the o-benzyne chemistry is a key factor in the formation of multi-ring intermediates in phenyl radical pyrolysis. On the other hand, the PAHs from the phenyl + acetylene reaction are formed mainly through recombination between single-ring aromatics and through the hydrogen abstraction/acetylene addition mechanism. Polymerization is the common dominant process at high temperature conditions.     

Solid vapor pressure for five heavy PAHs via the Knudsen effusion method

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are compounds resulting from incomplete combustion and many fuel processing operations, and they are commonly found as subsurface environmental contaminants at sites of former manufactured gas plants. Knowledge of their vapor pressures is the key to predict their fate and transport in the environment. The present study involves five heavy PAHs, i.e. benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[ghi]perylene, indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, and dibenz[a,h]anthracene, which are all as priority pollutants classified by the US EPA. The vapor pressures of these heavy PAHs were measured by using Knudsen effusion method over the temperature range of 364 K to 454 K. The corresponding values of the enthalpy of sublimation were calculated from the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. The enthalpy of fusion for the 5 PAHs was also measured by using differential scanning calorimetry and used to convert earlier published sub-cooled liquid vapor pressure data to solid vapor pressure in order to compare with the present results. These adjusted values do not agree with the present measured actual solid vapor pressure values for these PAHs, but there is good agreement between present results and other earlier published sublimation data.     

Application of Plasma Fuel Reformer to an On-Board Diesel Burner

A conventional diesel burner has arisen several shortcomings, such a large supply of air for a stoichiometric combustion, and a long heat-up time to reach the light-off temperature of catalyst in a diesel after-treatment system. This study shows a promising potential of using a plasma reformer for staged diesel combustion with minimized air and fuel consumption, and increased the flame stability with low NOx emission. A working principle of a plasma fuel reformer for staged combustion is explained in detail by both visualizing the plasma-assisted flame and analyzing the gas products. The concentrations of H₂, CO, NOx and the unburned total hydrocarbons were measured by gas chromatography and a commercial gas analyzer. Considering the operating condition of diesel exhaust gas is too harsh to maintain a stable diesel flame with a conventional diesel burner, plasma fuel reformer has distinctive advantages in stable flame anchoring under the condition of low oxygen concentration and fast flow speed. The re-ignition and stable flame anchoring by entrapment of oxygen in exhaust gas is mainly attributed to the low ignition energy and high diffusion velocity of hydrogen molecule. From an economic point of view, plasma reformer is also the only technology which can use only 1/3–1/8 of the air required for the stoichiometric burning of a conventional diesel burner. A conventional burner was simulated and analyzed to consume up to 30 % more fuel compared to the plasma reformer with the staged combustion to get the same level of temperature elevation in a real diesel engine scale.
