Book ·
OSTI ID:6915890

In the near future, the major alternative to oil for the production of energy appears to be the combustion of coal either in pulverized coal furnaces or in fluidized beds. The present book includes information on (1)Coal properties in relation to combustion, (2)The devolatilization of coal, the role of volatiles in coal combustion and the morphological transformation of coal during pyrolysis, (3)Heterogenous combustion of chars, (4)Pollutants formation and destruction, (5)In situ measurement in coal flames, (6)Transfer of fundamental results to remodeling.
