Coal combustion chemistry correlation aspects
This book provides fundamental guidelines to reducing the combustion problems that inorganic impurity compounds cause in coal-fired electricity-generating plants. The compounds treated are those of eight major-abundance metal and semimetal elements - silcon, aluminum, iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, titanium, and sodium. The book employs a combustion chemistry approach, together with a methodology that relates empirical correlations to the effects of inorganic impurity compounds on oxidation-combustion that may occur prior to ignition, at ignition, during heat-up to flame temperatures, or at flame temperatures. Why basic oxide constituents have higher chemical reactivities during coal combustion than acidic oxide chemical reactivities is shown in the introductory chapter. Other discussions cover the chemistry and coal-science backgrounds that relate to oxide constituents of the eight major-abundance elements. The book concludes with sets of empirical correlations.
