16.1. Introduction. Coal has been used as an energy source for more than two thousand years. In modern times its use has been dominated by thermal power generation in pulverised fuel (pf)-fi red combustion boilers and as a fuel and reductant in iron and steelmaking applications.
Coal is the most abundant energy source, and around 40% of the world's electricity is produced by coal combustion. The emission generated through it put a constraint on power production by coal combustion. There is a need to reduce the emissions generated through it to utilize the enormous energy of coal for power production.
The burner is shown in Fig. 1; coal particles (1.49 × 10 −4 kg/s) are fed into the air flow (1.80 × 10 −4 m 3 /s) from a coal feeder and emitted from the main port (inner diameter 6 mm). To stabilise the flame, methane (2.33 × 10 −5 m 3 /s) is supplied to an annular pilot burner (0.5 mm wide) separated from the central jet by a 0.5 mm thick wall.
Numerical analysis of co-firing pulverized coal and biomass in a vertical cylindrical laboratory furnace is explored. The ratio of coal and biomass in the fuel was 80:20 by mass for all cases. The mathematical model of combustion in the furnace was established by describing physical phenomena such as turbulent flow, heat and mass …

The pulverised coal burner consists of swirl air vanes, annular type coal nozzle and an oil gun, which is located in the centre of the burner (Fig. 1 (b)). When considering ammonia co-firing with pulverised coal, the injection points are very important for NOx reduction and complete burning of ammonia.
There are three main types of coal gasifiers namely, moving (also known as fixed) bed, fluidised bed and entrained flow. In a moving bed gasifier, the coal is fed through the …
1. Introduction. In the modern steel industry, the blast furnace (BF) remains a dominant ironmaking unit [1, 2] and is responsible for 70% of CO 2 emissions and energy consumption of the integrated plants [3].Pulverised coal injection (PCI) is still a dominant technology for partial coke replacement and lowering production costs and emissions.
2 Gasifier types and applications 6 IEA Coal Research Coal gasification refers to the reaction of coal with air or oxygen and steam, to yield a gaseous product, that is syngas, for use directly as a fuel, or as a feed to synthesise other gaseous or liquid fuels or chemicals. Gasification is in fact, an incomplete combustion of coal. Although ...
During the last hundred years, pulverised coal combustion has been widely applied for electricity generation [1]. More recent, deregulation of the European power sector [1], low coal prices and a ...
Large Eddy simulation (LES) has been applied to the pulverised coal jet flame studied at the Japanese Central Research Institute of Electric Power (CRIEPI).
Previous research has provided strong evidence that CO 2 and H 2 O gasification reactions can provide non-negligible contributions to the consumption rates of pulverized coal (pc) char during combustion, particularly in oxy-fuel environments. Fully …
To numerical study the entrained-flow gasification process of pulverized coal in an oxygen environment (O 2-CO 2-H 2 O), a gasifier with a capacity of about 150 kW was used (Brown et al. 1988).The reaction chamber of the gasifier had a cylindrical shape with a height of 2 m and a diameter of 0.2 m (Fig. 1).The primary flow and …
The pulverised coal burners generally take the types of either swirl burners, fitted to the front and back walls of the furnace, or straight jet burners fitted at the corners of the furnace tangentially fired into the furnace to create an uprising cyclone at the centre of the furnace. ...

In the case of the steam power cycle with a coal-fired boiler that is used most frequently for electric power generation, the CO 2 could soon be scrubbed out of the flue gas using a scrubber with monoethanolamine or similar solvents (Aroonwilas and Veawab, 2006, Kather et al., 2008).The relatively low CO 2 concentration of only 15 vol.% in the …
Burners—even roof-fired burners—began as extensions of the coal pipes, but rapidly became modified. They were installed in boxes, where the primary air was used to transport coal to the burner and secondary air necessary to complete the combustion was introduced through the box holding the burner [4]. The fantail or fishtail burner became ...
