Abstract: Laminar burning speeds and flame structures of spherically expanding flames of mixtures of acetylene (C2H2) with air have been investigated over a wide range of equivalence ratios, temperatures, and pressures. Experiments ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Abstract: Chlorine plays an important role in the slagging and corrosion of boilers that burn high-chlorine content biomass. This research investigated the emissions of hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas from combustion of biomass in a ...

Abstract: This research investigated the effects of the specific primary (under-fire) air flowrate (m˙air) on the combustion behavior of a 50–50 wt % blend of raw corn straw (CS) and raw pinewood wastes in a fixed-bed reactor. This ...

Abstract: This work assesses the evolution of acid gases from raw and torrefied biomass (distiller’s dried grains with solubles and rice husk) combustion in conventional (air) and simulated oxy-combustion (oxygen/carbon dioxide) ...
