This paper systematically reviews the PM sampling and measurement methods, formation
mechanisms, distribution, inorganic composition and the factors influencing PM emission …

High-alkali coals are distributed in many countries all over the world, mainly characterized
by contains abundant alkali metals and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs) elements, direct …

Oxy-fuel combustion is one of the most promising technologies to isolate efficiently and
economically CO 2 emissions in coal combustion for the ready carbon sequestration. The …

In this study, experimental results on size distribution, inorganic element distribution, and
inorganic minerals composition/transformation of particulate matter generated from solid …

The high contents of AAEM (alkali and alkaline earth metals) and sulfur in zhundong coal
result in more fine particulate matter during coal combustion. In this paper, the emission of …

A computational fluid dynamics model was established based on a 660 MW brown coal
boiler, to study the effects of primary air ratio (PAR) on boiler performance. To improve …

Zhundong (ZD) coalfield has a large number of coal reserves. However, the severe fouling
and slagging problems that occurred in ZD coal-fired utility boilers have seriously hindered …

The theoretical study for the wall collision of small adhesive non-spherical particles is
challenging due to the irregular shape. In this work we present a new numerical model to …

Herein, ash adhesion strength has been investigated via a new self-designed tester for
solving the severe ash deposition problems of Zhundong high-calcium coal. The results …

Zhundong coal has very high content of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs),
which produces much particulate matter (PM) during combustion and gasification, resulting …
