A process simulation model of coal decoupling combustion in a 30 kW circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustor has been developed for predicting NO and N2O emissions based on the built-in modules/blocks provided by Aspen Plus software as well as the external subroutines from FORTRAN compiler. The gas-solid hydrodynamics in the decoupling CFB combustor and macro-chemical reaction kinetics of coal combustion have been included in the process simulation model of CFB coal decoupling combustion. The profiles of average bed temperature and concentrations of gas components along the CFB riser height can be successfully predicted by the developed process simulation model. The effects of excess air percentage, first stage stoichiometry, and the introduction position of secondary air on concentrations of the emitted gaseous components, especially concentrations of NO and N2O can be simulated by the developed process simulation model. The contribution ratios of all relevant combustion reactions to emissions of NO and N2O can be quantitatively predicted. A good agreement between the simulated and measured results can be obtained during CFB coal decoupling combustion process under a large variation range of the CFB operation conditions.

Effect of gasification reactions on biomass char conversion under pulverized fuel combustion conditions

Hao Luo, Zhimin Lu, Peter Arendt Jensen, Peter Glarborg, Weigang Lin, Kim Dam-Johansen, Hao Wu

Summary: The impact of gasification reactions on biomass char conversion was studied through single particle experiments and modeling. It was found that char oxidation is limited by mass transfer, while char gasification is controlled by both mass transfer and gasification kinetics. Sensitivity analysis revealed that CO oxidation and gasification kinetics significantly influence char conversion time.

Steam gasification of char derived from penicillin mycelial dreg and lignocellulosic biomass: Influence of P, K and Ca on char reactivity

Yuan Chen, Weigang Lin, Hao Wu, Peter Arendt Jensen, Wenli Song, Lin Du, Songgeng Li

Summary: Gasification is a promising technology for disposing of antibiotic mycelial dreg (AMD), but research on AMD gasification is limited. This study focused on steam gasification of AMD char and investigated the influence of inorganic elements (mainly P, K and Ca) on char gasification reactivity. The presence of P was found to deactivate the catalytic function of K and Ca on char gasification by forming K-phosphates and Ca-phosphates.

Multifunctional Additives for NOX Abatement in Fluidized Bed Biomass Combustion

Burak Ulusoy, Bozidar Anicic, Liyan Zhao, Weigang Lin, Bona Lu, Wei Wang, Kim Dam-Johansen, Hao Wu

Summary: Different additives were employed to reduce NOX emissions and bed agglomeration in fluidized bed combustion of biomass. Some additives prevented bed agglomeration and reduced the conversion of fuel-N to NO, but led to higher N2O emissions. Air staging and introduction methods of additives had varying effects on NOX emissions and bed agglomeration.

A hybrid multiphase model accounting for particle agglomeration for coarse-grid simulation of dense solid flow inside large-scale cyclones

Mohamadali Mirzaei, Peter Arendt Jensen, Mohammadhadi Nakhaei, Hao Wu, Sam Zakrzewski, Haosheng Zhou, Weigang Lin

Summary: This study developed a hybrid multiphase model (Dense Discrete Phase Model, DDPM) coupled with an agglomeration model and a sub-grid drag model to simulate industrial-scale cyclones with high solid loading. The model was validated using experimental results from a pilot-scale cyclone with a diameter of 1.6 m, and it successfully captured key trends such as improvement in separation efficiency and reduction in pressure drop with increased particle load. The study concluded that including the agglomeration model is crucial for accurate predictions of pressure drop and separation efficiency, especially for cases involving very fine particles (d < 15 μm), while the sub-grid drag modification improves the prediction of separation efficiency.

An experimental and modelling study of the Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) of NOx and NH3 in a cyclone reactor

Casper S. Svith, Weigang Lin, Kim Dam-Johansen, Hao Wu

Summary: The Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) process was investigated in a bench scale cyclone reactor through experiments and modelling. The results showed that high NO reduction and NH3/NO ratios can be achieved under specific operating conditions. The models were able to qualitatively predict the trends of NO reduction and ammonia slip, although the ammonia slip was over-predicted in most cases. Temperature and kinetics had a significant impact on the outlet concentrations. The compartment model accurately reproduced the cyclone's NO concentration profiles and provided a qualitative prediction of the NH3 profiles. The choice of bypass fractions had a significant influence on the ammonia profiles.

Analysis of model dimensionality, particle shrinkage, boundary layer reactions on particle-scale modelling of biomass char conversion under pulverized fuel combustion conditions

Hao Luo, Xinyan Liu, Lukasz Niedzwiecki, Xiaoqin Wu, Weigang Lin, Bona Lu, Wei Wang, Hao Wu

Summary: This study analysed the effects of model dimensionality, particle shrinkage, and boundary layer reactions on particle-scale modelling of biomass char conversion under pulverized fuel combustion conditions using six models. The 1D_SPM_BH model with consideration of intra-particle heat and mass transfer, particle shrinkage, and boundary layer reactions was found to be the most appropriate model for biomass char conversion. The 0D_Cons model provided a good approximation for small particle size at specific temperatures, while the 0D_SPM model overestimated the char conversion rate. Considering intra-particle heat and mass transfer improved the model prediction of char conversion time and reaction contributions, and boundary layer reactions had a significant effect on char conversion prediction for large particles and high temperatures.

Phosphogypsum Decomposition by Char under a CO2 Atmosphere

Haiwei He, Chuigang Fan, Songgeng Li, Weigang Lin

Summary: This study proposes a reductive decomposition method for phosphogypsum to produce CaO under a CO2 atmosphere, aiming to avoid the presence of CaS in the product. Thermogravimetric tests combined with thermodynamic analysis reveal three reaction stages: CaSO4 reduction, reaction between CaS and CaSO4, and CaS oxidation by CO2. The reaction path is influenced by the C/CaSO4 molar ratio and temperature. Experiments conducted in a fluidized bed reactor show that over 96.2% of CaSO4 in phosphogypsum can be decomposed into CaO at 1000°C and a C/CaSO4 molar ratio of 1.0 within 83.7 minutes. Phosphogypsum decomposition in air or nitrogen leads to lower CaO production. Additionally, kinetic analyses of CaS oxidation with CO2 in the presence of CaSO4 are performed to understand the effect of the CaS-CaSO4 reaction on the CaS-CO2 reaction.

Mohamadali Mirzaei, Sonnik Clausen, Hao Wu, Mohammadhadi Nakhaei, Haosheng Zhou, Kasper Jonck, Peter Arendt Jensen, Weigang Lin

Summary: The Dense Discrete Phase Model (DDPM) was used with Oka's erosion model to investigate erosion caused by solid particle impacts in an industrial cyclone preheater. The model's predictions of flow pattern and temperature profile were validated with measurements in an industrial cyclone preheater, as well as against results from a lab-scale cyclone in the literature. The model also successfully predicted the erosion patterns observed in the industrial cyclone preheater, and parametric studies showed that gas flow rate and inlet temperature had the greatest impact on erosion.

Qing Han, Mengqing Shi, Linkai Han, Di Liu, Mingwei Tong, Yuxin Xie, Zhonghua Xiang

Summary: Developing highly efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts is crucial for zinc-air flow batteries. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic polymers (COPs) have emerged as promising alternatives due to their designable and controllable atomic-level structures. However, their catalytic performances are limited by conductivity and catalytic activity. In this study, nanosheet FeNi-MOF and iron phthalocyanine rich COP hybrid materials are assembled through the pi-pi stacking effect to create highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts. The resulting catalyst exhibits superior catalytic performance and stability, making it a promising candidate for zinc-air flow batteries.
