Effect of ash on coal direct chemical looping combustion

Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of a Complete Coal Direct Chemical Looping Sub-Pilot Unit

The present Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) work deals with the modeling of complete coal direct chemical looping sub-pilot unit which use coal as fuel and ferric oxide supported on alumina as an oxygen carrier. The 2D CFD model of the complete arrangement incorporating both fuel and air reactors and their inter-connecting parts was solved using FLUENT. The CFD model wa...

On Unburned Carbon in Coal Ash from Various Combustion Units

Work is focused to the study of unburned carbon in ash from coal (and wastes) combustion in 8 combustion tests at 3 fluidised-bed power station, at co-combustion of coal and wastes (also at fluidized bed) and at bench-scale unit simulating coal combustion in small domestic furnaces. The attention is paid to unburned carbon contents in bottom ashes and fly ashes at these 8 combustion tests and t...

Effect of Pressure on Ash Formation during Pulverised Coal Combustion and Gasification

In this paper, effects of the operating pressure on ash formation reported in the open literature have been reviewed. In particular, the recent significant advances achieved at the Cooperative Research Centre for Coal in Sustainable Development (CCSD) in Australia are highlighted. The operating pressure significantly influences the size and the chemistry of ash generated through its effects on ...

A Polygeneration System Based on Multi-Input Chemical Looping Combustion

This paper proposes a polygeneration system based on a multi-input chemical looping combustion system, which generates methanol and electricity, through the use of natural gas and coal. In this system, the chemical looping hydrogen (CLH) production system and the coal-based methanol production system are integrated. A high quality fuel, natural gas, is used to improve the conversion ratio of co...
