Carbon Nanotube Production From Ethylene in CO2/N2 Environments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carbon Nanotube Production From Ethylene in CO2/N2 Environments
A Numerical and Experimental Study on the Effects of CO2 on Laminar Diffusion Methane/Air Flames
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flue gas recirculation (FGR) is an effective method to reduce NOx emissions from the combustion of fuels, such as natural gas. Nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water are the main components of flue gas. Nitrogen is an inert ...
Pyrolytic Conversion of Biomass Residues to Gaseous Fuels for Electricity Generation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As petroleum resources are finite, it is imperative to use them wisely in energy conversion applications and, at the same time, develop alternative energy sources. Biomass is one of the renewable energy sources that can ...
Reduction of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions by Burning Coal Blends
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Given that sulfur contents of coals vary widely, this work investigated whether cofiring of highsulfur coals with lowsulfur coals of different ranks has any distinct advantages on lowering the sulfur dioxide emissions of ...
Special Issue: Selected Papers From the 40th International Technical Conference on Clean Coal and Fuel Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The special issue contains selected papers presented at the 40th International Technical Conference on Clean Coal and Fuel Systems. The conference was held at the Sheraton Sand Keys Hotel, Clearwater, FL during May 31–June ...
In-Furnace Sulfur Capture by Cofiring Coal With Alkali-Based Sorbents
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This manuscript presents experimental results on the reduction of sulfur oxide emissions from combustion of a high-sulfur content pulverized bituminous coal (Illinois #6 Macoupin) using a dry sorbent injection method. The ...
Nitrogen-Bearing Emissions From Burning Corn Straw in a Fixed-Bed Reactor: Effects of Fuel Moisture, Torrefaction, and Air Flowrate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Combustion-generated emissions of acid gases, such as nitrogen-bearing species, constitute environmental pollutants and some are subjected to environmental regulations. Assessment of such emissions is important to decide ...
Reduction of HCl Emissions from Combustion of Biomass by Alkali Carbonate Sorbents or by Thermal Pretreatment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Elevated emission of hydrogen chloride (HCl) from the combustion of biomass in utility boilers is a major issue, as it can cause corrosion, and in combination with the high alkali content often encountered in these fuels, ...
Effects of Carbonization on the Co-Activation of Sludge and Biomass to Produce Activated Coke
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Activated coke was prepared by mixing sewage sludge and waste poplar bark biomass from furniture manufacturing. The physical activation method of these feedstocks with steam for 1 h at 850 °C was implemented. The elemental ...
Sulfur and Nitrogen Release From Co-Pyrolysis of Coal and Biomass Under Oxidative and Non-Oxidative Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This is an investigation on the effects of pyrolysis atmosphere on the conversion of biomass/coal blends to chars and volatile matter, and on the release of sulfur and nitrogen to the gas phase. Pulverized corn straw and ...
