Solid Fuels Combustion of Coal Combustion of Coal When a solid fuel particle is exposed to a hot gas flowing stream it undergoes three stages of mass loss Drying Devolatilization Char combustion The relative significance of these three is indicated by proximate analysis of coal Combustion of Coal Drying The combustible material generally constitutes water e.g. lignites up to 40 % Upon entry into the gas stream, heat is convected and radiated to the particle surface and conducted into the particle The drying time of a small pulverized particle is the time required to heat up the particle to the vaporization point and drive off the water DEVOLATILIZATION When the drying of a solid fuel particle is complete, the temperature rises and the solid fuel begins to decompose Devolatilization or pyrolysis is the process where a wide range of gaseous products are released through the decomposition of fuel. The volatile matter (VM) comprises a number of hydrocarbons, which are released in steps Since the volatiles flow out of the solid through the pores, external oxygen cannot penetrate into the particle, hence the devolatilization is referred to as the pyrolysis stage Combustion of Coal DEVOLATILIZATION The rate of devolatilization and the pyrolysis products depend on the temperature and and the type of the fuel The pyrolysis products ignite and form an attached flame around the particle as oxygen diffuses into the products While water vapour is flowing out of the pores, the flame temperature will be low For lignite coals, pyrolysis begins at 300-400 C releasing CO and CO2 Ignition of the volatiles occurs at 400-600 C CO, CO2, chemically formed water, hydrocarbon vapours, tars and hydrogen are produced as the temperature reaches 700-900 C Above 900 C pyrolysis is essentially complete and the char (fixed carbon) and ash remain Combustion of Coal DEVOLATILIZATION For other types of coal, devolatilization proceeds differently Although the proximate analysis p
