Characterization of Chars Prepared from Various Pulverized Coals at Different Temperatures Using Drop-Tube Furnace.2000,4, 869−876

Characterization of organic aerosol produced during pulverized coal combustion in a drop tube furnace

Controlled bench scale pulverized coal combustion studies were performed, demonstrating that inorganic particles play a critical role as carriers of organic species. Two commonly-used aerosol mass spectrometry techniques were applied to characterize fine particle formation during coal combustion. It was found that the organic species in coal combustion aerosols have mass spectra similar to thos...

Combustion modelling of pulverized biomass particles at high temperatures

Biomass co-firing is becoming a promising solution to reduce CO2 emissions, due to its renewability and carbon neutrality. Biomass normally has high moisture and volatile contents, complicating its combustion behaviour, which is significantly different from that of coal. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) combustion model of a single biomass particle is developed in this work, to predict the ...

Calculation of MnO Activity in Aluminate Slags at Various Temperatures

In this research, the activity of MnO, produced during steel making in aluminate-rich slags, was investigated. According to thermodynamic equations and mathematical calculation, a series of relations was obtained for evaluation of oxide activity using Masson’s theory. The obtained relations were solved according to Levenberg- Marquardt method and using Matlab software. The results were correlat...

Interactive comment on “Characterization of organic aerosol produced during pulverized coal combustion in a drop tube furnace” by X. Wang

Comment 1: “This article presents some interesting conclusions regarding the chemical mixing state of particles produced from the combustion of pulverised coal. It would be useful, however, to expand the discussion to cover differences between the single particle mass spectra reported here and those obtained for power generation-related coal combustion and domestic coal combustion in other prev...
