Abstract
Human existence is dependent on the consumption of electricity and of thermal energy. One of the environmental problems is represented by the particulate matter with the diameter of less than 2.5 mm derived from combustion of coal. In order to find solutions to reduce emissions at source, the particle size distribution of the coal bottom ash after removing it from the steam boiler of the large combustion plant from Romag Halanga in Drobeta Turnu – Severin area was determined. Dry particle size distribution shows that the major fraction is one that has a particle size of 125 μm. Particle size distribution in the smallest size fraction was performed with laser diffraction particle size analyzer Brookhaven 90 Plus Nanoparticle Size Analyzer. Particle size distribution shows that in the composition of the coal bottom ash were found particles with nanometric dimensions.

In this work are presented the results of the first research carried out on coal bottom ash taken from a steam boiler of the large combustion plant from Romag Prod Halanga, in Drobeta Turnu – Severin area, whose capacity is of 420 tons of steam/h
The particle size distribution was made by dry sieving
Summary
Human existence is dependent on the consumption of electricity and thermal energy. Alternatives fuels that can be used to produce energy in large combustion plants are not many: fossil fuels or nuclear fuel. Coal will remain for the few years an important source of energy it is well known the impact of the large combustion plant on the environment. In this work are presented the results of the first research carried out on coal bottom ash taken from a steam boiler of the large combustion plant from Romag Prod Halanga, in Drobeta Turnu – Severin area, whose capacity is of 420 tons of steam/h.
