Almtraet--In this study, the devolatilisation process of Miscanthus particles inside a pulverised coal combustion chamber is characterised with the aim of finding conditions for which the devolatilisation rate of coal and Miscanthus is similar. However, choosing a power station as an experimental set-up for research is awkward because of the scale of operation ( > 500 MWct). Therefore, BTG has ...

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...

Employees of coal-fired power stations and people living nearby as well as those involved in the shipment and processing of coal fly ash can be exposed to coal fly ash (pulverised fuel ash or “PFA”). An extensive research program was carried out in order to map such exposure and its effects. Particle size distribution, chemical composition, quartz, radioactivity, emission factors and fugitive d...
