Combustion behavior of single particles from three different coal ranks and from sugar cane bagasse in O2/N2 and O2/CO2 atmospheres

The combustion behavior of single fuel particles was assessed in O₂/N₂ and O₂/CO₂ background gases, with oxygen mole fractions in the range of 20–100%. Fuels included four pulverized coals from different ranks (a high-volatile bituminous, a sub-bituminous and two lignites) as well as pulverized sugarcane-bagasse, a biomass residue. Particles of 75–90 μm were injected under laminar flow in a bench-scale, transparent drop-tube furnace (DTF), electrically-heated to 1400 K where, upon experiencing high heating rates, they ignited and burned. The combustion of individual particles was observed with three-color optical pyrometry and high-speed high-resolution cinematography to obtain temperature and burnout time histories. Based on combined observations from these techniques, a comprehensive understanding of the behaviors of these fuels was developed under a variety of conditions, including simulated oxy-fuel combustion. The fuels exhibited distinct combustion behaviors. In air, the bituminous coal particles burned in two distinctive modes; the volatiles burned in bright envelope flames surrounding the devolatilizing char particles followed by heterogeneous char combustion. The volatile matter of sub-bituminous coal particles burned either in subdued envelope flames, surrounding devolatilizing and occasionally fragmenting chars, or heterogeneously at the char surface. Lignite particles typically burned with extensive fragmentation, and their volatiles burned simultaneously with the char fragments. The volatiles of bagasse particles burned in spherical and transparent envelope flames. Increasing the oxygen mole fraction in N₂, increased flame and char surface temperatures, and decreased burnout times; particles of all fuels burned more intensely with an increasing tendency of the volatiles to burn closer to the char surface. When the background gas N₂ was substituted with CO₂, the combustion of all fuels was distinctly less intense; at moderate O₂ mole fractions (<30%) most particles did not ignite under active flow conditions in the furnace (they did ignite under quiescent gas flow conditions in the DTF). Increasing the oxygen mole fraction in CO₂ increased the likelihood of combustion and its intensity. Combustion of volatiles in envelope flames was suppressed in the presence of CO₂, particularly under active gas flow in the DTF.     

Single particle ignition and combustion of anthracite,semi-anthracite and bituminous coals in air and simulated oxy-fuel conditions

A fundamental investigation has been conducted on the combustion behavior of single particles (75–150 μm) of four coals of different ranks: anthracite, semi-anthracite, medium-volatile bituminous and high-volatile bituminous. A laboratory-scale transparent laminar-flow drop-tube furnace, electrically-heated to 1400 K, was used to burn the coals. The experiments were performed in different combustion atmospheres: air (21%O₂/79%N₂) and four simulated dry oxy-fuel conditions: 21%O₂/79%CO₂, 30%O₂/70%CO₂, 35%O₂/65%CO₂ and 50%O₂/50%CO₂. The ignition and combustion of single particles was observed by means of three-color pyrometry and high-speed high-resolution cinematography to obtain temperature–time histories and record combustion behaviors. On the basis of the observations made with these techniques, a comprehensive examination of the ignition and combustion behaviors of these fuels was achieved. Higher rank coals (anthracite and semi-anthracite) ignited heterogeneously on the particle surface, whereas the bituminous coal particles ignited homogeneously in the gas phase. Moreover, deduced ignition temperatures increased with increasing coal rank and decreased with increasing oxygen concentrations. Strikingly disparate combustion behaviors were observed depending on the coal rank. The combustion of bituminous coal particles took place in two phases. First, volatiles evolved, ignited and burned in luminous enveloping flames. Upon extinction of these flames, the char residues ignited and burned. In contrast, the higher rank coal particles ignited and burned heterogeneously. The replacement of the background N₂ gas of air with CO₂ (i.e., changing from air to an oxy-fuel atmosphere) at the same oxygen mole fraction impaired the intensity of combustion. It reduced the combustion temperatures and lengthened the burnout times of the particles. Increasing the oxygen mole fraction in CO₂ to 30–35% restored the intensity of combustion to that of air for all the coals studied. Volatile flame burnout times increased linearly with the volatile matter content in the coal in both air and all oxygen mole fractions in CO₂. On the other hand, char burnout times increased linearly or quadratically versus carbon content in the coal, depending on the oxygen mole fraction in the background gas.     

Comparison of staged combustion properties between bituminous coals and a low-rank coal; Fiber-shaped crystallized carbon formation,NOx emission and coal burnout properties at very high temperature

Previously, we developed a new-concept for a drop-tube furnace in order to investigate staged combustion properties for pulverized coals. Two high-temperature electric furnaces were connected in series. Coal was burnt under fuel-rich conditions in the first furnace, then, staged air was supplied at the connection between the two furnaces. In the present study, we investigated influence of burning temperature on NOx emission and combustion efficiency by using the furnace. The influence of the temperature differed between hv-bituminous coals and a sub-bituminous coal. For the hv-bituminous coals, combustion efficiency was improved when burning temperature in the fuel-rich region rose. When combustion efficiency was improved, NOx emission decreased. The NOx reduction reaction in the fuel-rich region was promoted by increasing the burning temperature in this region. On the other hand, NOx emission increased for the sub-bituminous coal when the temperature was higher than 1800 K. Usually, combustion efficiency was increased with burning temperature. However, combustion efficiency lowered for the sub-bituminous coal when burning temperature was higher than 1900 K. We observed the ash obtained by this temperature condition using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and observed fiber shaped carbon. The difference in NOx properties was derived as a difference of hydrocarbon concentration. For low-rank coals (sub-bituminous or lignite), the hydrocarbon formation rate was smaller than that for hv-bituminous coals. When the hydrocarbon contribution to the NOx reduction reaction was large, NOx emission decreased with increasing burning temperature; however, hydrocarbon content in volatile matter was small for low-rank coals.     

Transient gasification and syngas formation from coal particles in a fixed‐bed reactor

An experimental investigation on gasification and syngas formation from coal particles in a fixed‐bed reactor is conducted; particular attention is paid to the transient reaction dynamics. Three different coals, including two high‐volatile coals and a low‐volatile coal, are taken into consideration. In the initial reaction period, a two‐stage reaction is clearly observed; specifically, an exothermic reaction followed by an endothermic reaction is exhibited. Meanwhile, seeing that the devolatilization and pyrolysis reactions are pronounced, the initial concentrations of H₂ and CH₄ are relatively high, especially for the former. With increasing time, the interaction between coal and char particles is dominated by the latter, the concentrations of CO and CO₂ thus become higher. From the observation of syngas combustion, the entire gasification intensity proceeds from intensified growth, rapid decay, and then to progressive decay with increasing reaction time. For the two high‐volatile coals, the mass depletion is enhanced markedly once the reaction temperature is as high as 1000°C, whereas it is insensitive to the temperature for the low‐volatile coal. Nevertheless, it is found that, based on the weights of moisture and volatile matter, their relative release ratio from the low‐volatile coal is better than that from the high‐volatile coals. This implies that the final devolatilization and pyrolysis extent is not determined by coal grade. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Static model of coal pyrolysis in a circulating fluidised-bed reactor

Four different coals were investigated: two sub-bituminous, one bituminous and lignite, which were processed in the temperature range 750–950 °C. The heat for pyrolysis was generated by partial gasification of the char produced. Air was used as the gasifying medium with amounts of 0.6–1.5 m³/kg of coal, depending on the required gasification-temperature. Two sequential phenomena were taken into account: char gasification and coal devolatilisation in respect of temperature. The experimental data on carbon dioxide and monoxide concentrations in a LCV gas produced were used for the correlation of Boudouard's equilibrium and the data on carbon burn-off and final volatile matter content in char were used for the solid-products yield. The equations for the quasi-equilibrium state were developed and calculated values were compared with the measurements. The model takes into account the equations developed and the total energy-balance assuming the heat losses of the experimental system. The investigated coal throughput amounted to 200–300 kg/h depending on the coal properties. Process characteristics were discussed, namely: the effect of air/coal ratio on the pyrolysis temperature; char and gas yield, volatile matter and ash content in a char; as well as the gas calorific value.     

Effect of temperature on Lu’an bituminous char structure evolution in pyrolysis and combustion

In the process of pyrolysis and combustion of coal particles, coal structure evolution will be affected by the ash behavior, which will further affect the char reactivity, especially in the ash melting temperature zone. Lu’an bituminous char and ash samples were prepared at the N₂ and air atmospheres respectively across ash melting temperature. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe the morphology of char and ash. The specific surface area (SSA) analyzer and thermogravimetric analyzer were respectively adopted to obtain the pore structure characteristics of the coal chars and combustion parameters. Besides, an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) was applied to investigate the graphitization degree of coal chars prepared at different pyrolysis temperatures. The SEM results indicated that the number density and physical dimension of ash spheres exuded from the char particles both gradually increased with the increasing temperature, thus the coalescence of ash spheres could be observed obviously above 1100°C. Some flocculent materials appeared on the surface of the char particles at 1300°C, and it could be speculated that β-Si₃N₄ was generated in the pyrolysis process under N₂. The SSA of the chars decreased with the increasing pyrolysis temperature. Inside the char particles, the micropore area and its proportion in the SSA also declined as the pyrolysis temperature increased. Furthermore, the constantly increasing pyrolysis temperature also caused the reactivity of char decrease, which is consistent with the results obtained by XRD. The higher combustion temperature resulted in the lower porosity and more fragments of the ash.     

The fate of char-N at pulverized coal conditions

The fate of char-N (nitrogen removed from the coal matrix during char oxidation) has been widely studied at fluidized bed conditions. This work extends the study of char-N to pulverized coal conditions. Coal chars from five parent coals were prepared and burned in a laboratory-scale pulverized coal combustor in experiments designed to identify the parameters controlling the fate of char-N. The chars were burned with natural gas (to simulate volatiles combustion) in both air and in a nitrogen-free oxidant composed of Ar, CO₂, and O₂. In some experiments, the char flames were doped with various levels of NO or NH₃ to simulate formation of NO_x from volatile-N (nitrogen removed during coal devolatilization). The conversion of char-N to NO_x in chars burned in the nitrogen-free oxidant was 50-60% for lignites and 40-50% for bituminous coals. In char flames doped with NO_x, the apparent conversion of char-N to NO_x (computed using the NO_x measurements made before and after the addition of char to the system) decreased significantly as the level of NO_x doping increased. With 900 ppm NO_x present before the addition of char, apparent conversion of char-N to NO_x was close to 0% for most chars. While there is no clear correlation between nitrogen content of the char and char-N to NO_x conversion at any level of NO_x in the flame, the degree of char burnout within a given family of chars does play a role. Increasing the concentration of O₂ in the system in both air and nitrogen-free oxidant experiments increased the conversion of char-N to NO_x. The effects of temperature on NO_x emissions were different at low (0 ppm) and high (900 ppm) levels of NO_x present in the flame before char addition.     

Comparison study of fuel characteristics of slow pyrolyzed chars with Neyveli lignite

As coals are fast depleting, suitable means of substituting coal need to be explored. In this work, a feasibility study of co-firing lignite with char was investigated. Some locally abundant biomass were slow pyrolyzed. The pyrolyzed chars were characterized and their fuel properties were compared with that of Neyveli lignite. The study indicated that the heating value of chars (except rice husk char) were higher than Neyveli lignite. The study also revealed that the properties of chars were on superior to Neyveli lignite and can be substituted to Neyveli lignite.     

Formation of the structure of chars during devolatilization of pulverized coal and its thermoproperties: A review

The paper provides an overview of current studies on the behaviour of coal during devolatilization, especially the experimental studies and modelling efforts on the formation of char structure of bituminous coals in the open literature. Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel in the world. It dominates the energy supply in the future and plays an increasing role particularly in the developing countries. Coal utilization processes such as combustion or gasification generally involve several steps: i.e., the devolatilization of organic materials, homogeneous reactions of volatile matter with the reactant gases and heterogeneous reactions of chars with the reactant gases. The devolatilization process exerts its influence throughout the life of the solid particles from the injection to the burnout, therefore is the most important step which needs to be understood. When volatile matter is generated, the physical structure of a char changes significantly during the devolatilization, some accompanying a particle's swelling. The complexity of a char's structure lies in the facts that the structure of a char itself is highly heterogenous inside an individual particle and between different particles and the chemistry of a char is strongly dependent on the raw coal properties. A char's structure is strongly dependent on the heating conditions such as temperature, heating rate and pressure. Understanding the swelling of coal and the formation of char's pore structure during the devolatilization of pulverized coal is essential to the development of advanced coal utilization technologies. During combustion and gasification of pulverized coal, the behaviour of individual particles differs markedly due to the variation of their maceral composition. Particles with different maceral constituents generate different types of char structure. The structure of a char has a significant impact on its subsequent heterogeneous reactions and ash formation. The review also covers the most recent studies carried out by the authors, including the experimental observations of the thermoplastic behaviour of individual coal particles from the density fractions using a single-particle reactor, the experimental analysis on chars prepared in a drop tube furnace using the density-separated coal samples, the development of a mathematical model for the formation of char's pore structure based on a simplified multi-bubble mechanism and the investigation on the effect of pressure on char formation in a pressurized entrained-flow reactor.     

Effect of middle-temperature pyrolysis on the surface hydrophobicity of sub-bituminous coal

Middle-temperature pyrolysis is widely used to convert sub-bituminous coal into gas/liquid products and the coal char, which benefits the utilization of low rank coal resources. However, the coal char usually contains high-ash content because the volatile components in coal release from coal particle forming gas/liquid products while most of high-ash mineral components remain in the coal char. Therefore, the upgrading of the coal char is usually required to meet the requirement of calorific value for burning. It is necessary to find out the effect of middle-temperature pyrolysis on the surface hydrophobicity of coal. In this study, the effects of pyrolysis temperature (700, 800, and 900°C) and pyrolysis time (30 and 90 min) on the surface hydrophobicity of sub-bituminous coal were comprehensively investigated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), attachment time, and flotation tests were used to reveal the changes of surface hydrophobicity and floatability of sub-bituminous coal before and after middle-temperature pyrolysis. The XPS results indicated the content of hydrophilic oxygen-containing functional groups was reduced while the content of hydrophobic functional groups on coal surface was increased after the pyrolysis. The attachment time of coal particle-bubble was reduced while the flotation recovery of coal was increased after the pyrolysis. The surface hydrophobicity and floatability of sub-bituminous coal were enhanced by middle-temperature pyrolysis, which makes the upgrading of the coal char feasible.     

Combustion of single coal particles in a jet

Fluidized bed combustion has attracted much interest in recent years, but there is very little data on the behavior of coal particles at these new conditions. Coal of much larger diameter (1–10 mm), much lower furnace temperatures (~850 °C), and different fluid mechanical conditions exist compared to pulverized coal furnaces. This paper presents experimental data on the behavior and combustion rates of individual coal particles aerodynamically suspended in a heated jet, to stimulate flow conditions in a fluidized bed.Tests of bituminous, sub-bituminous and lignite coals from 2 to 12 mm at jet temperatures of 705 and 816 °C in air and air diluted with equal parts of nitrogen were conducted. The ignition delay time varied from 2 to 44 sec. The devolatilization time extended up to 80 sec and was dependent mainly on particle size. The total burn time was independent of coal type and temperature, and varied as the square of the size and inversally with the oxygen concentration. The total turn time varied from 25 to 740 sec independently of coal type. The square law for the char burning rate was investigated.     

Study of devolatilization during chemical looping combustion of large coal and biomass particles

Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) is one of the emerging technologies for carbon capture, with less energy penalty. The present way of using pulverized coals in a fluidized bed (FB)-CLC have limitations like loss of unconverted char and gaseous combustibles, which could be mitigated by use of coarser fuel particles. Devolatilization time is a critical input for the effective design of FB-CLC systems, primarily when large fuel particles are used. The present study investigates the devolatilization time and the char yield of three coals of two shapes, namely, two high ash Indian coals and a low ash Indonesian coal and a wood (Casuarina equisetifolia) in the size range of +8–25 mm, at different fuel reactor temperatures (800–950 °C) of a hematite based CLC unit. The devolatilization times of single fuel particles during CLC are determined using a visual method called ‘Color Indistinction Method’. Indonesian coal has the longest devolatilization time among the fuels, and biomass has the least. Increasing the bed temperature enhances the rate of volatile release, whereas this effect is less pronounced in larger particles. Devolatilization of Indonesian coal is found to be strongly influenced by the changes in operating conditions. With the decrease in sphericity, a maximum of 56% reduction in devolatilization time is observed for the +20–25 mm slender particles of Indonesian coals when compared to the near-round particles. The maximum average char yields at the end of the devolatilization phase for coal and biomass are about 55–76% and 16% respectively. Char yield in coal particles increases with an increase in particle size, whereas biomass particles show relatively consistent yield across all experimental conditions. Increase in bed temperature reduces the char yields of coal up to 12% and in biomass up to 30%. High volatile Indian coal is the most influenced fuel by the changes in fuels shape. A correlation for determining devolatilization time under CLC environment is presented, and it successfully fits most of the experimental values within ±20% deviation for coals (R² = 0.95) and within ±15% deviation for biomass (R² = 0.97).     

The devolatilization of coal and a comparison of chars produced in oxidizing and inert atmospheres in fluidized beds

This is a study of the devolatilization of coal in a laboratory-scale bed of silica sand, fluidized with either air or N₂ and electrically heated to 750 or 900°C. Coal particles (diameter 1.4–1.7 or 2.0–2.36 mm) were fed in batches to the surface of the bed and allowed to devolatilize in either an oxidizing atmosphere of air or inert N₂. In the first case, combustion of the volatiles occurred, but there was only thermal decomposition (pyrolysis) in the second situation. The resulting chars were recovered and analyzed for composition and structure, so that comparisons could be made between the effects of devolatilization with combustion and of pyrolysis in an inert atmosphere. It was found that the fractions of C and H in the char were only slightly sensitive to the type of fluidizing gas used. The amount of nitrogen in the recovered char and also the devolatilization time showed no dependence on the type of fluidizing gas, whereas BET areas were slightly larger after combustion in air. It is concluded that these effects are small relative to other errors, inherent in experiments on coal combustion, so that chars prepared in a bed fluidized by hot N₂ are very similar to those formed during coal combustion at nominally the same temperature. Equally, the overall composition of the volatile matter released during combustion in a fluidized bed is the same as in pyrolysis in nitrogen. The effects of other parameters, such as the temperature of the bed, the flow rate of the fluidizing gas and the size of the coal particles are also discussed in detail. It is concluded that most of the volatiles burn in a fluidized bed (at or less than 900°C) far away from the original coal particle. Also, NO_x is in effect a primary product of devolatilization, being produced in appreciable amounts when coal is heated in inert N₂. The ratio of C/N in the volatiles is found to be a constant during the latter stages of devolatilization, but beforehand at lower temperatures, carbon species are preferentially released. Overall, devolatilization of small particles (< 2.4 mm) in a fluidized bed at 900°C is kinetically controlled. The activation energy is small, being 15 ± 6 kJ/mol.     

Fluidised bed studies of: (i) Reaction-fronts inside a coal particle during its pyrolysis or devolatilisation, (ii) the combustion of carbon in various coal chars

An approximately spherical particle of coal (diam. 13–14 mm) was made by filing a larger piece. Next a hole (diam. 0.6 mm) was drilled through the centre of the sphere to end at 3 mm from the opposite face. Into this hole a fine thermocouple (o.d. 0.2 mm) was cemented. The coal was immersed into an electrically heated bed of sand, fluidised by nitrogen at 850 °C. During the subsequent pyrolysis, the temperature was measured at 3 mm inside the coal. Minima were found in the local internal rate of increase in temperature, when plotted against either time or this measured internal temperature. Here is new evidence for large coals thermally decomposing by a sequence of “endothermic waves” moving radially inwards through the coal to release volatile matter. These minima are each associated with a particular temperature and 21 of them were found (apart from that for drying) between 160 and 820 °C. Altogether four bituminous coals and one lignite were studied. Some “decomposition temperatures” were common to them all. Lower rank coals have major losses of volatile material at lower temperatures. These experiments thus support the modelling of pyrolysis using a suite of approximately 20 parallel reactions, each contributing to different extents and with different kinetic parameters and ΔH.Experiments in an identical bed, but fluidised by air, revealed endothermic waves in a coal. In this case, some of the volatiles burned in a counter-flow flame in the recently discovered cushion of air underneath such a relatively large coal particle. Also, towards the end of devolatilisation, the resulting char started to burn; different chars burned at different temperatures, all above that of the bed, even though burning was controlled by external mass transfer of O₂ to the char particle. It appears that underneath a char particle, there is again a counter-flow flame, where CO (from burning the char) is oxidised by OH radicals to CO₂ at ～900 °C. Most probably the carbon in the char is also oxidised by OH radicals to CO. The temperature at which a char burns is partly controlled by how much CO is oxidised by OH radicals close to the underside of the char particle. The oxidation of both CO and carbon in a char accordingly appears to be catalysed by hydrogen from the char.     

Studies on the Reaction Engineering of Combustion and Carbonization of Indian Coals,Depolymerized Coals and Residual Coal Obtained After Organo-Refining

Abstract

Kinetics of the combustion of original and depolymerized Assam, Raniganj and Talcher coals and Neyveli lignite has been studied under non-isothermal conditions in a thermogravimetric analysis apparatus by employing Coats and Redfern kinetic modeling. Depolymerization of coals through acidic phenoation was found to improve the reactivity of the coals for combustion. Similarly, depolymerization reaction also led to the improvement in the pyrolysis behavior of coals. The order and activation energy of the reactions have been reported. The kinetics studies of the residual coal obtained after the successive solvent extraction of coal has also been studied. The present studies on the reaction engineering of coal conversion and utilization technologies may help in the reactor design and in the process development engineering.     

Effect of Carbonization Temperature on Combustion Reactivity of Bagasse Char

Abstract

The combustion reactivity of bagasse chars was investigated under isothermal conditions at 400°C in air. The bagasse char samples were prepared by carbonizing bagasse in a fixed bed reactor at temperatures between 500°C and 800°C. It was observed that raising the carbonization temperature resulted in a significant decrease in reactivity of bagasse char. This was manifested by the decrease in the values of the maximum reaction rate, average rate based on 50% burnout and conversion achieved in 30 minutes with the increase in carbonization temperature. The decrease in reactivity of bagasse char with carbonization temperature was attributed to changes in the reactive components of bagasse.     

The transition of heterogeneous–homogeneous ignitions of dispersed coal particle streams

This work is assessing a study of the collective ignition behaviors of dispersed coal particle streams, with ambience temperature from 1200 K to 1800 K and oxygen mole fractions in the range of 10–30%. The dispersed coal particles of 65–74 μm are injected into an optical Hencken flat-flame burner by a novel de-agglomeration feeder. Three kinds of pulverized coals from different ranks, Hulunbel lignite, high-ash-fusion bituminous and low-ash-fusion bituminous, are considered. The normalized visible light signal intensity, deleting the background noise, is established to characterize the ignition delay of coal particle streams. Firstly, the prevalent transition from heterogeneous ignition to hetero–homogeneous ignition due to ambience temperature is observed. The pure homogeneous ignition rarely occurs, with an exception under high temperature and low oxygen for high-volatile coal. By comparing time scales between pyrolysis and heating processes, the competition of the volatile evolution and heterogeneous surface reaction are discussed. Then, the effects of ambience temperature, oxygen mole fraction and coal rank on the characteristic ignition delay are examined. Finally, the transient mode is developed, which not only well interprets the observed ignition transition phenomena, but also approximately predicts a variation of heterogeneous ignition time as a function of oxygen fraction.     

Stoichiometry and coal-type effects on homogeneous vs. Heterogeneous combustion in pulverized-coal flames

Results of experiments to determine the extent of heterogeneous combustion in the rapid-devolatilization regime of fuel-rich bituminous and subbituminous coal-dust flames are reported. Major gas concentrations, gas and particle temperatures, and solids proximate and elemental compositions were measured as functions of residence time in pulverized-coal/O₂/Ar flames stabilized on a flat-flame burner. Proximate fixed carbon and volatile matter measurements are corrected to account for devolatilization exceeding that predicted by ASTM proximate analysis. The corrected proximate data are used to determine the fraction of volatile matter consumed heterogeneously in situ and the fraction released to the gas phase by pyrolysis. Seven to thirty-five percent of the initial corrected volatile matter is removed heterogeneously. A mass transfer analysis is applied to predict a time dependent critical particle size such that the volatiles flux emerging from larger particles is sufficient to prevent surface oxidation. Critical particle radii as large as 39 μm are calculated. Results of the volatile matter partitioning and critical radius calculations indicate that heterogeneous combustion is more important in the leaner flames and for the subbituminous coal.
