Fuels, Combustion and Smoke Abatement

Co2 Abatement by the Combustion of H2-rich Fuels in Gas Turbines

As a response to the threat of global climate change, a number of technologies have been proposed in which the carbon dioxide produced by combustion of fossil fuels at power stations is captured and stored. A leading option is based on the pre-combustion decarbonisation of fossil fuels to produce hydrogen-rich fuel gases. Such decarbonisation processes integrate the production of a synthesis ga...

Gas Turbine Combustion and Ammonia Removal Technology of Gasified Fuels

From the viewpoints of securing a stable supply of energy and protecting our global environment in the future, the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power generation of various gasifying methods has been introduced in the world. Gasified fuels are chiefly characterized by the gasifying agents and the synthetic gas cleanup methods and can be divided into four types. The calorific val...

Automotive fuels and internal combustion engines: a chemical perspective.

Commercial transportation fuels are complex mixtures containing hundreds or thousands of chemical components, whose composition has evolved considerably during the past 100 years. In conjunction with concurrent engine advancements, automotive fuel composition has been fine-tuned to balance efficiency and power demands while minimizing emissions. Pollutant emissions from internal combustion engi...
