Title: Mechanisms of pyrite oxidation to non-slagging species. Quarterly report, January 1, 1995--March 31, 1995

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/146772· OSTI ID:146772

This document is the third quarterly status report on a project conducted at the High Temperature Gasdynamics Laboratory at Stanford University, Stanford, California and concerned with enhancing the transformation of iron pyrite to non-slagging species during staged, low-NO{sub x} pulverized coal (P.C.) combustion. The research project is intended to advance PETC`s efforts to improve our technical understanding of the high-temperature chemical and physical processes involved in the utilization of coal. The work focuses on the mechanistic description and rate quantification of the effects of fuel properties and combustion environment on the oxidation of iron pyrite to form the non-slagging species magnetite. The knowledge gained from this work is intended to be incorporated into numerical codes that can be used to formulate anti-slagging strategies involving minimal disturbance of coal combustor performance.
