Abstract
An experimental investigation was conducted in a 3 MW pilot-scale tangential combustion facility to explore the co-combustion characteristics of bituminous coal mixed with semi-coke. The thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA) was used to obtained fuel thermal analysis. The results presented effects of semi-coke blending ratio (BR) on average furnace temperature, ignition temperature, NO emission and combustion efficiency. The excess air coefficient in main combustion sections and outlet were fixed at 0.85 and 1.2 while BR increased from 0% to 50 wt%. The temperature profiles of combustion decreases along the height of furnace while average furnace temperature fluctuates slightly with an increasing BR. The concentration of NO has an increasing tendency with the increasing of BR. The ignition temperature obtained from TGA measurement agreed well with experiment result. In addition, combustion efficiency was not sensitive to BR and decreased slightly with the increasing BR.
