Ash particles produced from pulverized coal combustion are considered to be tri-modally distributed. These include the well-known ultrafine and coarse modes, and a central mode that is less reported but attracts increasing attention. This work presents a preliminary study on the formation mechanisms of the central mode particles during pulverized coal combustion. Experiments of four sized and density-separated coal samples were carried out in a laboratory drop-tube furnace under various controlled conditions. Experimental data show that the ash particle size distributions have an evident central mode at 4 μm for all coal samples. Increasing combustion temperature leads to an increase in the central mode particle formation, which is thought to be due to enhanced char fragmentation. The small-size coal sample produces a larger amount of the central mode particles, reasonably due to abundant fine particles in the parent coal sample. Under similar combustion conditions, both the Heavy (>2.0 g/cm3) and Light (<1.4 g/cm3) coal fractions produce a central mode, indicating that not only the included minerals but also the excluded minerals contribute to the formation of the central mode particles. 相似文献

This paper aims to reveal the mechanisms governing the impaction and sticking dynamics of fly ash particles in pulverized coal combustion. The modeling work is of relevance to experiments in a 25?kW self-sustained down-fired furnace, which provides a sequence of real deposit shapes as varied boundary conditions for CFD simulations. Although the formed ash deposit has a comparable length scale with the probe, it has little effect on the global impaction efficiency of newly-coming particles. However, as the deposit builds up, incident particles impact the deposit and probe at generally larger impact angles and smaller normal velocities despite the almost invariant global impaction efficiency. It results in an enhanced local sticking probability in the center region of the probe, but a decreased one in the lateral regions. The incident kinetic energy of newly sticking particles to the deposit exhibits a converse correlation with their impact angle. The relationship of the averaged local sticking probability as a function of the azimuthal angle of probe is illustrated. Finally, the effect of Reynolds number on global particle impaction efficiency is examined. A universal formula is proposed, which is of importance to bridge lab-scale experiments and practical applications. 相似文献

Apparent char kinetic rates are commonly used to predict pulverized coal char burning rates. These kinetic rates quantify the char burning rate based on the temperature of the particle and the oxygen concentration at the external particle surface, inherently neglecting the impact of variations in the internal diffusion rate and penetration of oxygen. To investigate the impact of bulk gas diffusivity on these phenomena during Zone II burning conditions, experimental measurements were performed of char particle combustion temperature and burnout for a subbituminous coal burning in an optical entrained flow reactor with helium and nitrogen diluents. The combination of much higher thermal conductivity and mass diffusivity in the helium environments resulted in cooler char combustion temperatures than in equivalent N2 environments. Measured char burnout was similar in the two environments for a given bulk oxygen concentration but was approximately 60% higher in helium environments for a given char combustion temperature. To augment the experimental measurements, detailed particle simulations of the experimental conditions were conducted with the SKIPPY code. These simulations also showed a 60% higher burning rate in the helium environments for a given char particle combustion temperature. To differentiate the effect of enhanced diffusion through the external boundary layer from the effect of enhanced diffusion through the particle, additional SKIPPY simulations were conducted under selected conditions in N2 and He environments for which the temperature and concentrations of reactants (oxygen and steam) were identical on the external char surface. Under these conditions, which yield matching apparent char burning rates, the computed char burning rate for He was 50% larger, demonstrating the potential for significant errors with the apparent kinetics approach. However, for specific application to oxy-fuel combustion in CO2 environments, these results suggest the error to be as low as 3% when applying apparent char burning rates from nitrogen environments. 相似文献

The model that takes chemical reactions, heat and mass transfers in the boundary layer of the particle into account simultaneously, is developed for simulating the combustion of a pulverized coal particle. The FTIR in situ temperature-measurements and the comparison between numerical simulations for the pulverized coal and the devolatilized char show that the volatile flame induces the combustion of the primary product of surface oxidation CO. Due to the influence of volatile flame, the char particle can be ignited at temperature lower than its heterogeneous ignition temperature, which elucidates the physical essence of joint hetero-homogeneous ignition mode discovered by Jüntgen. 相似文献

An improved model of fine particulate matter formation coupling the mechanism of mineral coalescence and char fragmentation under different pulverized coal combustion environments has been constructed. Firstly, based on the theoretical model of char fragmentation and percolation, the included minerals with different types and particle sizes are constructed in the model, and a three-dimensional char particle sub-model is established. And the type, content and particle size distribution of included minerals are introduced as input parameters by using computer controlled scanning electron microscopy (CCSEM) technology. All of the above makes it more in line with the actual distribution of the included minerals. Then a sub-model of char fragmentation is built based on the sub-model of the char particle. And considering the influence of char combustion reaction on the particle formation process and melting characteristics of included minerals, a sub-model of mineral melting coalescence under different combustion environments is established. Finally, based on this improved model, we compared the calculation results with the experimental data and the calculation results of the traditional model. Fully considering the process of mineral coalescence and char fragmentation, which contains the characteristics of different included minerals, the results show that the newly established model has a good fitting effect for the experiment and is closer to the actual process of char particle combustion to generate particles. By the new model, the influence of the factors (mineral content, particle size distribution and porosity) on the formation of particulate matter is preliminarily analyzed. 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

This paper investigates the effects of ultrasound (UTS) energy at different temperatures on the zeolitization of aluminosilicate constituents of coal fly ash. UTS energy irradiated directly into the reaction mixture utilizing a probe immersed into the reaction mixture, unlike previously reported works that have used UTS baths. Controlled synthesis was also conducted at constant stirring and at the same temperatures using conventional heating. The precursor reaction solution was obtained by first fusing the coal fly ash with sodium hydroxide at 550 °C followed by dissolution in water and filtration. The synthesized samples were characterized by XRF, XRD, SEM and TGA. The crystallinity of crystals produced with UTS assisted conversion compared to conventional conversion at 85 °C was twice as high. UTS energy also reduced the induction time from 60 min to 40 min and from 80 min to 60 min for reaction temperatures of 95 °C and 85 °C, respectively. Prolonging the UTS irradiation at 95 °C resulted in the conversion of zeolite-A crystals to hydroxysodalite, which is a more stable zeolitic phase. It was found that at 85 °C coupled with ultrasound energy produced the best crystalline structure with a pure single phase of zeolite-A. It has been shown that crystallization using UTS energy can produce zeolitic crystals at lower temperatures and within 1 h, dramatically cutting the synthesis time of zeolite. 相似文献

Ignition and devolatilization of pulverized bituminous coal particles during oxygen/carbon dioxide coal combustion 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Oxygen/carbon dioxide recycle coal combustion is actively being investigated because of its potential to facilitate CO2 sequestration and to achieve emission reductions. In the work reported here, the effect of enhanced oxygen levels and CO2 bath gas is independently analyzed for their influence on single-particle pulverized coal ignition of a U.S. eastern bituminous coal. The experiments show that the presence of CO2 and a lower O2 concentration increase the ignition delay time but have no measurable effect on the time required to complete volatile combustion, once initiated. For the ignition process observed in the experiments, the CO2 results are explained by its higher molar specific heat and the O2 results are explained by the effect of O2 concentration on the local mixture reactivity. Particle ignition and devolatilization properties in a mixture of 30% O2 in CO2 are very similar to those in air. 相似文献

Burning of coal accounts for an enormous proportion of the current energy supply, especially in developing countries. Burning of coal produces large amounts of coal fly ash, which causes serious environmental problems unless it is managed properly. Using chemical analysis, we found that coal fly ash could be a promising source of Si, Al, Ca and some rare earth elements, especially with the assistance of some measures such as ultrasound. In this study, we extracted silicon from coal fly ash using an alkaline dissolution strategy and investigated the effects of temperature and ultrasonic power on the efficiency of silicon extraction. During a 70 min reaction, the efficiency of silicon extraction increased markedly, from 9.41% to 34.96%, as the reaction temperature increased from 70 °C to 110 °C. With ultrasound assistance, ultrasonic waves enhanced the extraction of silicon at both 80 °C and 110 °C at 720 W ultrasound, increasing the efficiency of silicon extraction from 6.01% to 15.36% and from 34.96% to 54.42%, respectively. However, at 900 W ultrasonic power, extraction was slightly inhibited at both temperatures, causing a little decrease in efficiency. 相似文献

The alumina content (more than 40%) of high-alumina coal ash is comparative to the middle content bauxite ores in China. So far, in order to meet the high demand of alumina and the rise of circular economy industrial chain, extracting alumina from coal ash has become a way to comprehensively utilize high-alumina coal ash. However, this process has high requirements on the crystal phase and stability of alumina. Different from most studies, this paper focuses on how to produce coal ash more beneficial to the later refining of aluminum. Therefore, the effects of combustion temperature and coal types by classifying high-alumina coal into dull coal and bright coal on alumina crystal phase formation were studied. Through proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, calorific value analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) and other methods, it is found that γ-Al2O3 in high-alumina coal ash translated into more stable θ-Al2O3 and finally α-Al2O3 when combustion temperature is higher than 1000°C. Thus compared with pulverized coal boilers, circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers with lower combustion temperature can produce higher quality coal ash. Moreover, at the same combustion temperature, alumina crystal phase in dull coal ash is relatively less stable than that in bright coal ash, which is more suitable to the later refining and electrolysis of aluminum. 相似文献

Previous research has provided strong evidence that CO2 and H2O gasification reactions can provide non-negligible contributions to the consumption rates of pulverized coal (pc) char during combustion, particularly in oxy-fuel environments. Fully quantifying the contribution of these gasification reactions has proven to be difficult, due to the dearth of knowledge of gasification rates at the elevated particle temperatures associated with typical pc char combustion processes, as well as the complex interaction of oxidation and gasification reactions. Gasification reactions tend to become more important at higher char particle temperatures (because of their high activation energy) and they tend to reduce pc oxidation due to their endothermicity (i.e. cooling effect). The work reported here attempts to quantify the influence of the gasification reaction of CO2 in a rigorous manner by combining experimental measurements of the particle temperatures and consumption rates of size-classified pc char particles in tailored oxy-fuel environments with simulations from a detailed reacting porous particle model. The results demonstrate that a specific gasification reaction rate relative to the oxidation rate (within an accuracy of approximately +/- 20% of the pre-exponential value), is consistent with the experimentally measured char particle temperatures and burnout rates in oxy-fuel combustion environments. Conversely, the results also show, in agreement with past calculations, that it is extremely difficult to construct a set of kinetics that does not substantially overpredict particle temperature increase in strongly oxygen-enriched N2 environments. This latter result is believed to result from deficiencies in standard oxidation mechanisms that fail to account for falloff in char oxidation rates at high temperatures. 相似文献

For oxy-combustion with flue gas recirculation, as is commonly employed, it is recognized that elevated CO2 levels affect radiant transport, the heat capacity of the gas, and other gas transport properties. A topic of widespread speculation has concerned the effect of the CO2 gasification reaction with coal char on the char burning rate. To give clarity to the likely impact of this reaction on the oxy-fuel combustion of pulverized coal char, the Surface Kinetics in Porous Particles (SKIPPY) code was employed for a range of potential CO2 reaction rates for a high-volatile bituminous coal char particle (130 μm diameter) reacting in several O2 concentration environments. The effects of boundary layer chemistry are also examined in this analysis. Under oxygen-enriched conditions, boundary layer reactions (converting CO to CO2, with concomitant heat release) are shown to increase the char particle temperature and burning rate, while decreasing the O2 concentration at the particle surface. The CO2 gasification reaction acts to reduce the char particle temperature (because of the reaction endothermicity) and thereby reduces the rate of char oxidation. Interestingly, the presence of the CO2 gasification reaction increases the char conversion rate for combustion at low O2 concentrations, but decreases char conversion for combustion at high O2 concentrations. These calculations give new insight into the complexity of the effects from the CO2 gasification reaction and should help improve the understanding of experimentally measured oxy-fuel char combustion and burnout trends in the literature. 相似文献

Particle imaging of ignition and devolatilization of pulverized coal during oxy-fuel combustion 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

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

The addition of halogens, particularly iodine, to the gas during coal char oxidation has been used in previous studies to quench gas-phase chemistry, thereby allowing one to separate the effects of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. Halogen addition suppresses the gas-phase radicals to near-equilibrium levels. A similar effect can be expected from other compounds with high efficiency as fire suppressants, such as alkali metals. The effectiveness of the use of additives in distinguishing homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions during char oxidation relies on the assumption that radicals are suppressed while heterogeneous reactions occurring on the char surface are not affected. The present work tests this assumption for potassium bromide (KBr) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) reacting with a pulverized eastern bituminous coal char during oxidation. An increase in CO and a slight reduction in particle temperature were observed with the addition of KBr, consistent with known effects of halogens on gas-phase chemistry. An increase in particle size was also observed with the KBr addition. This observation and the results of model calculations suggest that there is significant incorporation of liquid KBr on the char surface under the conditions examined. With Na2CO3 addition, the particle temperature did not change, the particle size showed a slight decrease, and CO production increased. Although the mechanisms for Na interaction with radicals at combustion conditions are not well established, char oxidation modeling suggests that a decrease in OH concentration in the particle boundary layer is the cause for the observed increase in CO production. It is concluded that Na2CO3 has clear advantages over KBr for inhibiting gas-phase chemistry without affecting char oxidation for the conditions investigated here. 相似文献

The spectral emittance of deposits left by bituminous and sub-bituminous coals under oxidizing conditions have been measured in situ. Pulverized coal is injected into a down-fired entrained-flow reactor. Ash accumulates on a probe in the reactor effluent and radiation emitted by the ash layer is recorded using a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. Values for the spectral emissive power emitted by the ash and the surface temperature of the ash are extracted from these data. These results are then used to calculate the spectral emittance of the deposit. The spectral emittances of ash deposits formed by burning Illinois #6 (bituminous) coal and Powder River Basin (sub-bituminous) coal were measured between 3000 and 500 wavenumbers. The spectral emittance of the deposit left by the bituminous coal has a constant value of approximately 0.46 between 3000 and 2400 wavenumbers. Between 2200 and 1200 wavenumbers, the spectral emittance of the deposit increases from approximately 0.47 to approximately 0.61. Between 1200 and 500 wavenumbers, the spectral emittance is relatively constant at 0.61. The spectral emittance of the deposit left by the sub-bituminous coal is also relatively constant between 3000 and 2400 wavenumbers at a value of 0.29. Between 2200 and 500 wavenumbers, the spectral emittance of deposits from the sub-bituminous coal increases from approximately 0.29 to 0.55. Differences between these spectral emittance measurements and those measured ex situ illustrate the importance of making in situ measurements. Band emittances were calculated using the measured spectral emittances, and band emittances of the deposits are reported as functions of temperature. 相似文献

This work presents a new method of measuring the CO/CO2 ratio at the surface of carbon particles during combustion. This thermogravimetric method deduces the ratio of CO to CO2 by comparing the rate of consumption of carbon with the rate of oxidation of an external reference material with fast oxidation kinetics, in this case Cu. The method is useful when combustion is controlled by external mass transfer, commonly encountered in large-scale processes. The viability of this method has been demonstrated experimentally with graphite and a lignite char. It was found that in an atmosphere of ~ 1% O2, the graphite produced CO2 between 700 and 900 °C whilst the lignite char produced a mixture of CO and CO2 between 700 and 800 °C with the proportion of CO increasing with temperature, and above 850 °C, only CO was produced. It was also found that for this particular lignite char, the ratio of CO/CO2 increased with decreasing pO2 in the environment. 相似文献

Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of ciprofloxacin adsorption onto modified coal fly ash from aqueous solution 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Batch adsorption experiments were carried out for the removal of ciprofloxacin from aqueous solution using modified coal fly ash as adsorbent. The effects of various parameters such as contact time, initial solution concentration and temperature on the adsorption system were investigated. The optimum contact time was found to be 100 min. The isotherm adsorption data fit well with the Langmuir model, and the kinetic data fit well with the pseudo-second order and the intra-particle diffusion model. Intra-particle diffusion analysis demonstrates that ciprofloxacin diffuses quickly among the particles at the beginning of the adsorption process, and then the diffusion slows down and stabilizes. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG, ΔH and ΔS were also calculated. The negative Gibbs free energy change and the positive enthalpy change indicated the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption, and the positive entropy change indicated that the adsorption process was aided by increased randomness. 相似文献

We study the twist-three fragmentation function contribution to the single transverse spin asymmetries in inclusive hadron production in pp collisions, p↑p→h+X. In particular, we calculate the associated derivative terms which dominate the spin asymmetries in these processes. With certain parameterizations for the twist-three fragmentation function, we estimate its contribution to the single spin asymmetry of π0 production at RHIC energy. We find that the contribution is sizable and might be responsible for the big difference between the asymmetries in η and π0 productions observed by the STAR collaboration at RHIC. 相似文献

In this study, the soot formation characteristics in a pulverized-coal combustion field formed by a 4 kW Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) jet burner were predicted by large eddy simulation (LES) employing a tabulated-devolatilization-process model (TDP model) [N. Hashimoto et al., Combust. Flame 159 (2012) 353–366]. This model enables to take into account the effect of coal particle heating rate on coal pyrolysis. The coal-derived soot formation model proposed by Brown and Fletcher [A. L. Brown and T. H. Fletcher, Energy Fuels 12 (1998) 745–757] was employed in the LES. A comparison between the data predicted by LES and the soot volume fraction distribution data measured by laser induced incandescence confirmed that the soot formation characteristics in the coal combustion field of the CRIEPI burner can be accurately predicted by LES. A detailed analysis of the data predicted by LES showed that the soot particle distribution in this burner is narrow because the net soot formation rate is negative on both sides of the base of the soot volume fraction. At these positions, soot particles diffused from the peak position of soot volume fraction are oxidized due to a relatively high oxygen concentration. Finally, the effect of soot radiation on the predicted gas temperature distribution was examined by comparing the simulation results obtained with and without soot radiation. This comparison showed that the maximum gas temperature predicted by the simulation performed with soot radiation was over 100 K lower than that predicted by the simulation performed without soot radiation. From result strongly suggests the importance of considering a soot formation model for performing numerical simulations of a pulverized-coal combustion filed. 相似文献

A new experimental technique is proposed to measure the product CO/CO2 ratio at the surface of spherical char particles during fluidized bed combustion. It is based on the measurement of the burning rate of a single char particle under low oxygen concentration conditions and on the use of an accurate prediction of the particle Sherwood number. This technique was applied to spherical char particles obtained from a bituminous coal which is characterized by a low attrition and fragmentation propensity. The product CO/CO2 ratio was measured at a bed temperature of 850 °C and at a fluidization velocity of 0.3 m/s in a lab-scale apparatus operated with a bed of 0.5–0.6 mm sand. The char particle size was varied between 2 and 7 mm and the inlet oxygen concentration between 0.1% and 2.0%. Results showed that under the experimental conditions investigated carbon was mostly oxidized to CO2 within the particle boundary layer, with a maximum fraction of carbon escaping as CO of 10–20% at the lowest oxygen concentrations and largest particle sizes. 相似文献
