ReVised Manuscript ReceiVed February 10, 2009 Fine particulates that are emitted from commercial coal combustion sources can be inhaled into human respiratory systems and have been known to cause various harmful effects. Therefore, legislation has been enacted to limit the emission of fine particulate matter in many countries. A fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of fine particle formation is an important step to mitigating the environmental impacts of coal combustion. In this study, 15 pulverized coal samples were burnt in a drop-tube furnace to investigate the formation of fine particulates and the influence of coal ash properties on their emission. Coal combustion was carried out at 1673 K in air. Fine particles were collected by a cyclone and a low-pressure impactor. The elemental compositions of the collected particles were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. We examined the chemical compositions of the fine particles as a function of particle diameter and examined the proportions of the elements in the parent
