Through a lot of experiments, a new kind of stove using horizontal combustion technique for bitumite-moulded coal has been developed. Making use of this stove, studies have been made on the burning process of bitumite-moulded coal: distribution of temperature field in the stove, the regularities of evolution and combustion of volatile matter, the burning rate and efficiency of bitumite-moulded coal, characteristics of fire-sealing and sulfur-solidification. The results show that, with the technique, some achievements can be obtained in combustion of bitumite-moulded coal, such as lower pollution in that the flue gas opacity is below 0.5 R and dust concentration is below 90 mg/Nm{sup 3}. The stove`s combustion efficiency reaches 90%, sulfur fixing efficiency is 60%, and CO concentration is decreased by 40% compared with other traditional stoves. With so many advantages, the stove can be used extensively in civil stoves and smaller industrial boilers.
