The use of vacuum bottoms to provide heat in coal liquefaction processes by burning them in a hybrid boiler requires that information be developed regarding their combustibility, their fouling and slagging behavior in the furnace, and their particulate and gaseous emissions. Laboratory characterization studies and pilot-combustor tests carried out at Baytown are summarized in this report. The inherently lower reactivity of the bottoms does not adversely affect combustibility because lower reactivity can be compensated for by finer grinding which is readily accomplished with this very friable material. Data are presented which show that the usual volatile matter test is not a good predictor of combustibility for this material. The effect of composition on combustibility is investigated using the combustion profile technique.
