The high contents of AAEM (alkali and alkaline earth metals) and sulfur in zhundong coal result in more fine particulate matter during coal combustion. In this paper, the emission of fine particulates from zhundong coal riched in AAEM-sulfur and zhunnan coal riched in aluminum-silicon was investigated in a drop tube furnace. Co-combustion of zhundong coal and zhunnan coal was further investigated to study the effect of interaction among different elements in coal on the PM formation. The size distribution, concentration and composition of the particulates were analyzed by low pressure impactor (DLPI) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The distribution of sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron and sulfur in fine particulates and their effects on the generation of fine particulates were obtained. The results show that the fine particulates from AAEM-sulfur rich coal combustion mainly consist of sulfates and oxides of AAEM. The amount of fine particulates from burning aluminum-silicon rich coal decreased significantly. The composition of PM0.4 and PM0.4+ are significantly different. Co-firing of AAEM-sulfur rich coal with aluminum-silicon rich coal has an obviously synergetic effect of reducing the fine particulates emission. The capture of AAEM and iron by aluminum-silicon compounds plays an important role in PM10 reduction during blended coal combustion. The change of sulfur content in PM0.4 is consistent with the change of AAEM content.

Submicron particle formation from co-firing of coal and municipal sewage sludge

Ao Zhou, Wenjing Ma, Renhui Ruan, Shilin Yu, Houzhang Tan, Shuanghui Deng, Kun Liang, Kai Liu, Donglin Han, Xuebin Wang

Summary: This study investigated the formation characteristics of submicron particles in the co-firing process of coal and municipal sewage sludge (MSS). The results showed that the furnace temperature and sludge addition ratio had a significant impact on the formation of PM0.4. Increasing the furnace temperature promoted the formation of PM0.4 during sludge combustion, but the volume and mass concentration of PM0.4 produced from pulverized coal combustion were lower than that of sludge. In the co-firing process, increasing the sludge addition ratio reduced the concentration of PM0.4 by promoting the scavenge of certain elements, and increasing the furnace temperature inhibited the formation of PM0.4. However, the effect of furnace temperature on the elemental composition of PM0.4 was not significant.

The effect of preheating temperature and combustion temperature on the formation characteristics of PM0.4 from preheating combustion of high-alkali lignite

Renhui Ruan, Xiaoxiao Wang, Jianyu Li, Baochong Cui, Zhaomin Lyu, Xuebin Wang, Houzhang Tan

Summary: The study explores the effect of preheating temperature and combustion temperature on fine mode particle formation in preheating combustion. It is found that preheating combustion with optimized temperatures can effectively reduce the production of PM0.4 and NOx. The mass yield of PM0.4 remains relatively unchanged with preheating temperature, but increases with combustion temperature when it is higher than the preheating temperature. Higher preheating temperature and lower combustion temperature are recommended for reducing PM0.4 and NOx formation.

Summary: This study investigated the formation and control of N2O in pressurized oxy-combustion by studying the effects of CO2 atmosphere, pressure, temperature, residence time, and O2 concentration on N2O decomposition in a pressurized plug flow reactor. The results showed that CO2 atmosphere significantly promoted N2O decomposition, and increasing temperature and pressure also enhanced the decomposition efficiency. The experimental results were compared to kinetic modeling results, and it was found that GLA2018 mechanism underestimated the decomposition while GRI3.0 mechanism accurately predicted it at certain conditions.

Summary: Non-conventional amines are being researched worldwide to overcome the limitations of traditional amines like MEA and MDEA. Adequate process and thermodynamic models are crucial for understanding the applicability and performance of these amines in CO2 absorption, but studies on process modeling for these amines are limited. This study used rate-based modeling and Deshmukh-Mather method to model CO2 absorption by DETA solution in a packed column, validated the model with experimental data, and conducted a sensitivity analysis of mass transfer correlations. The study also compared the CO2 absorption efficiency of DETA solution with an ionic solvent [bmim]-[PF6] and highlighted the importance of finding optimum operational parameters for maximum absorption efficiency.

Arastoo Abdi, Mohamad Awarke, M. Reza Malayeri, Masoud Riazi

Summary: The utilization of smart water in EOR operations has gained attention, but more research is needed to understand the complex mechanisms involved. This study investigated the interfacial tension between smart water and crude oil, considering factors such as salt, pH, asphaltene type, and aged smart water. The results revealed that the hydration of ions in smart water plays a key role in its efficacy, with acidic and basic asphaltene acting as intrinsic surfactants. The pH also influenced the interfacial tension, and the aged smart water's interaction with crude oil depended on asphaltene type, salt, and salinity.
