This work examined the physical and chemical characteristics of submicron particulate emissions (PM1) from pulverized bituminous coal burning under either conventional air or oxyfuel conditions. Oxy-fuel combustion is a process that takes place in O2/CO2 environments, which are achieved by removing nitrogen from the intake gases and recirculating large amounts of flue gases to the boiler; this is done to moderate the high temperatures caused by the elevated oxygen partial pressure therein. In this study, combustion took place in a laboratory laminar-flow drop-tube furnace (DTF) in environments in either air or oxy-fuel conditions. A Pittsburgh bituminous coal was burned at a DTF temperature of 1400 K. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to observe the morphology of the submicron particles and SEM coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) technique was used for the chemical analysis of the PM1. Bimodal ash particle size distributions were observed in the submicron region. Mass fractions of the major metal oxides in submicron ash particles also showed a bimodal distribution. Both the submicron emission yield and the major metal oxides in the submicron particles were typically lower in oxy-fuel condition than those in air. S was the preeminent component of the PM0.1-0.18 (stage 9) while Si and Al were the greatest component of the PM0.56-1 (stage 6). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed that submicron particles were spherical which is attributed to vaporization of minerals followed by condensation and particle growth.

Physical Properties of Particulate Matter Emitted from Combustion of Coals of Various Ranks in O-2/N-2 and O-2/CO2 Environments Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza (2012-12-01) This work examined the particulate emissions from pulverized coals burning under either conventional or oxyfuel combustion conditions. Oxyfuel combustion is a process that takes place in O-2/CO2 environments, which are achieved by removing nitrogen from the intake gases and recirculating large amounts of flue gases into the boiler; this is done to moderate the high temperatures caused by the elevated oxygen partial pressure therein. In this study, combustion took place in a laboratory laminar-flow drop-tube...
Influence of coal briquette size on the combustion kinetics Altun, Naci Emre; Bagci, AS (Elsevier BV, 2004-08-15) In this study, the effects of one of the most important parameters in coal briquetting process, the briquette size, on the combustion behaviour of coal briquettes were determined from the view of combustion kinetics, i.e. their liability to ignite and combust. Effect of size on the combustion kinetics was treated by two different approaches. The first one consists of combustion kinetics experiments with briquettes of increasing sizes, thus of expanding volumes. In the second phase, briquette dimensions were...
Comparison of single particle combustion behaviours of raw and torrefied biomass with Turkish lignites Magalhaes, Duarte; Panahi, Aidin; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Levendis, Yiannis A. (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01) This study investigated the combustion behaviour of single pulverized biomass and lignite coal particles under high temperature-high heating rate conditions. Selected fuels included three important agricultural residues in Turkey (olive residue, almond shell, and hazelnut shell), and two lignite coals from the regions of Tuncbilek and Soma in Turkey. Biomass fuels were either raw or torrefied at 275 degrees C for 30 min in nitrogen. The biomass fuels were sieved to a size cut of 212-300 mu m, and the coals ...
Characterization of Particulate Matter Emitted from Combustion of Various Biomasses in O-2/N-2 and O-2/CO2 Environments Ruscio, Amanda; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Levendis, Yiannis A. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014-01-01) This work reports on the physical and chemical characteristics of the ashes of biomass residues burned in air as well as in simulated dry oxy-combustion conditions. Three pulverized biomass residues (olive residue, corn residue, and torrefied pine sawdust) were burned in a laboratory-scale laminar-flow drop tube furnace heated to 1400 K. Olive residue resulted in by far the largest particulate yields both submicrometer (PM1) and supermicrometer (PM1-18)-whereas torrefied pine sawdust resulted in the lowest....
Influence of fly ash composition on non-gray particle radiation in combusting systems Ates, CİHAN; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2018-08-01) In this study, chemical composition dependency of both radiative properties of ash particles and radiative heat exchange are investigated for conditions typically encountered in industrial coal-fired furnaces. For that purpose, chemical composition dependent / independent complex index of refraction models are utilized to evaluate (i) spectral particle absorption efficiencies, scattering efficiencies and asymmetry factors, (ii) particle cloud properties representing pulverized coal fired furnaces (PC-Fired)...
