The investigation of the fundamentals of coal combustion kinetics addressed several topics of major importance relative to improved understanding of pulverized coal combustion and included both homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. The principal topics included are: (1) combustion of volatiles, and (2) heterogeneous combustion of coal/char. Research activities included small-scale experimentation, interpretation of experimental results in terms of mechanistic understanding, and the development and validation of kinetic models of fundamental processes.
