Computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy of minerals in coal-Implications for ash deposition

The nature of mineral matter in coal determines its transformation into ash during combustion and the nature of resulting ash (e.g. chemical composition and particle size distribution), and subsequently influences the ash deposition behaviour. The behaviour of mineral matter is primarily influenced by two parameters: the mineral grain size, and whether the mineral grains are within the coal matrix or not. Computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy (CCSEM) of coal provides such information on mineral matter in coal. CCSEM data are, therefore, processed to predict the fouling and slagging characteristics of several coals. The fraction of basic oxides in each mineral grain may be considered as an indicator of stickiness of the corresponding ash particle due to formation of low melting compounds. The cumulative mass fraction of mineral grains with certain basic oxides or viscosity of resulting ash particles from included and excluded minerals are proposed as alternative indices for ash deposition.

The excluded mineral matter is in equilibrium with the combustion flue gases at the gas temperatures, whereas the included minerals are in equilibrium with the atmosphere within char at the burning char particle temperature. It is predicted from thermodynamic calculations based on this understanding that almost all the evaporation is either from the included mineral matter or from the atomically dispersed minerals in coal. This is due to the high temperature and reducing atmosphere inside the char particle. The release of the evaporated species is controlled by diffusion through the burning char particle and, therefore, may be estimated theoretically. The amount of mineral matter that is vaporized may then be related to fouling, whereas the melt phase present on the surface of large ash particles may be related to slagging. The theoretical speculations on the physical character of ash derived from these indices are compared with the experimental data obtained from combustion of coals in a drop-tube furnace.

Factors influencing the transformation of minerals during pulverized coal combustion

The transformation of minerals and dispersed inorganic constitutents during pulverized coal combustion has been examined by burning utility sized coals (70% less than 200 mesh) in a laboratory-scale combustor. Experiments were conducted with four U.S. coals possessing different mineralogies. Size and composition of the initial minerals and the resulting ash were measured by a variety of techniques, including computer controlled SEM, low temperature ashing, deposition on a cascade impactor, and optical (Malvern) particle size analysis. Results for a Kentucky # 11 coal with a large amount of fine, included silicate minerals suggest that coalescence amongst illite, kaolinite, and quartz minerals was the dominant process, with occasional iron incorporation into the resulting glass. Pyrite was found to fragment to a limited extent. Illinois # 6 bituminous coal, possessing a similar mineralogy, yielded similar results. For a Beulah lignite coal containing large pyrite grains, mineral fragmentation was inferred from the data, increasing with increasing oxygen level. A high ash content San Miguel Texas lignite containing zeolite minerals demonstrated little mineral interaction during combustion. Differences in results obtained for the different coals highlighted the importance of understanding individual mineral transformations in predicting the formation and behavior of ash.     

Investigation on the effects of fly ash particles on the thermal radiation in biomass fired boilers

Ash is produced in combustion of biomass. Some part of this matter is called fly ash and is carried by the flow and causes not only air pollution and erosion, but also can affect the thermal radiation. The effects of fly ash particles on the thermal radiation are considered in this investigation. By analyzing sampled data in an electrostatic filter, a realistic particle size distribution is found. Although the optical data on biomass fly ash are not available, however, similarity between coal and biomass ash compositions showed that the optical constants of the low Fe coal fly ash can be applied for the biomass fly ash. The Mie theory is used to predict scattering and absorption coefficients and phase function. The mean Planck scattering and absorption coefficients and phase function are predicted by averaging over the particle size distribution and Planck function, respectively. The effects of fly ash particles on thermal radiation are evaluated by a three-dimensional test case. It is assumed that the medium is a mixture of non-grey gases and different level of particle loading. Predicted results from the test case showed that the fly ash can be influential on the thermal radiation. In addition, in selected fly ash volume fractions, the effect of scattering by particles is not so important on the radiative heat source and radiative heat flux to the wall whereas their absorption effect is important and can increase the radiative heat source and wall heat fluxes.     

Modeling the behavior of selenium in Pulverized-Coal Combustion systems

The behavior of Se during coal combustion is different from other trace metals because of the high degree of vaporization and high vapor pressures of the oxide (SeO₂) in coal flue gas. In a coal-fired boiler, these gaseous oxides are absorbed on the fly ash surface in the convective section by a chemical reaction. The composition of the fly ash (and of the parent coal) as well as the time-temperature history in the boiler therefore influences the formation of selenium compounds on the surface of the fly ash. A model was created for interactions between selenium and fly ash post-combustion. The reaction mechanism assumed that iron reacts with selenium at temperatures above 1200 °C and that calcium reacts with selenium at temperatures less than 800 °C. The model also included competing reactions of SO₂ with calcium and iron in the ash. Predicted selenium distributions in fly ash (concentration versus particle size) were compared against measurements from pilot-scale experiments for combustion of six coals, four bituminous and two low-rank coals. The model predicted the selenium distribution in the fly ash from the pilot-scale experiments reasonably well for six coals of different compositions.

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.     

Field and CFD Study of Fuel Distribution in Pulverized Fuel(PF)Boilers

The article presents both field and CFD results of a new concept of a mechanical pulverized fuel(PF)distributor.The goal of the study was to improve the pulverized coal-air mixture separation in PF boilers where the fuel preparation and feeding system was operated in a combined coal and biomass grinding conditions.The numerical analysis was preceded after a field study,where measurements were carried out in a pulverized coal-fired(PC)boiler equipped with a technology of NOx reduction by means of primary methods.Proper distribution of a pulverized coal-air mixture to the individual burners is one of the fundamental tasks of the combustion systems where the primary methods are implemented to control the NOx emission.Problems maintaining the proper distribution of fuel to the burners related primarily to the boilers where the coal and biomass co-grinding is used.Changing the load of coal-mills and fuel type at the same time(i.e.,different types of biomass)could result in less effective separation of pulverized fuel particles in PF distributors.Selection of an appropriate construction of a distributor will allow the better control of the combustion process which results in decreased NOx emission while keeping the proper combustion efficiency,i.e.,less unburned carbon(UBC)in the fly ash.The results of the field measurements made it possible to create a CFD distribution base model,which was used for the analysis of a new splitter construction to be used in a PF distributor.Subsequent analysis of the numerical splitter enables precise analysis of its construction,including the efficiency of separation and the prediction of conveying of the coal and biomass particles.

Experimental studies of ash film fractions based on measurement of cenospheres geometry in pulverized coal combustion

In pulverized coal particle combustion, part of the ash forms the ash film and exerts an inhibitory influence on combustion by impeding the diffusion of oxygen to the encapsulated char core, while part of the ash diffuses toward the char core. Despite the considerable ash effects on combustion, the fraction of ash film still remains unclear. However, the research of the properties of cenospheres can be an appropriate choice for the fraction determination, being aware that the formation of cenospheres is based on the model of coal particles with the visco-plastic ash film and a solid core. The fraction of ash film X is the ratio of the measuring mass of ash film and the total ash in coal particle. In this paper, the Huangling bituminous coal with different sizes was burnt in a drop-tube furnace at 1273, 1473, and 1673 K with air as oxidizer. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) and cross-section analysis have been used to study the geometry of the collected cenospheres and the effects of combustion parameters on the fraction of ash film. The results show that the ash film fraction increases with increasing temperature and carbon conversion ratio but decreases with larger sizes of coal particles. The high fraction of ash film provides a reasonable explanation for the extinction event at the late burnout stage. The varied values of ash film fractions under different conditions during the dynamic combustion process are necessary for further development of kinetic models.

Ash deposition behavior under coal and wood co-firing conditions in a 300 kW downfired furnace

Growth of ash deposits when wood was co-fired with coal was visually investigated in a 300 kW pilot-scale furnace. For comparison, combustion of pure coal was also conducted. A total of 10% and 20% wood were mixed with coal. The thickness and heat flux were obtained. The collected ash deposits and fly ash were characterized by a series of analysis methods to determine the physical and mineral properties. Their relationships were also revealed. Results showed that co-firing of coal with wood dramatically increased the ash deposition propensity. During the coal combustion, shedding of ash deposit occurred and the maximum deposit thickness was 15.33 mm. A deposit thickness of up to 27.02 mm was achieved for 10% wood, and the thickness increased to 34.20 mm for 20% wood. The variation in heat flux with deposit thickness substantially changed when wood was co-fired. A significant change was also observed in the mineral composition of ash deposit with the increase in wood ratio. The proportion of anorthite increased because that of lime in fly ash increased with wood ratio. In addition, the mean diameter of fly ash particles increased as wood ratio increased.
