Abstract
During co-combustion of coal and straw, ash deposition and pollutants (HCl, aerosols, etc.) formation is significantly influenced by the behavior of chlorine and alkali metals. On the bases of measurement data, the effect of inherent minerals in blended fuels on the release and retention of chlorine and alkali metals is investigated through the equilibrium analysis tool FACT-Win. Si, Al, Ca, Mg, and S may greatly affect the behavior of Cl, K, and Na, where the other minor elements, such as Fe, Ti, and Mn have not much influence. According to measurement data, very low amounts of chlorine and sulfur are retained in bottom, air preheater, and cyclone ash in a pulverized fuel combustor. But in filter ash, the chlorine and sulfur contents are relatively high and the ratio (K + Na)/(Cl + 2S) is close to 1. According to equilibrium calculations, in hard coal co-combustion with less than 50% straw, most of the potassium is combined with aluminosilicates to form KAlSi2O6(s,s2), etc., which can prevent ash deposit...
