Thermodynamic analysis of the formation of submicron particles on the combustion of coals

Аннотация

The thermodynamic analysis of the composition of the combustion products of 15 types of coals was carried out with consideration for the formation of potassium and sodium aluminosilicates and solid and liquid slag removal. Based on the results of the analysis, the approximating temperature dependences of the concentrations of condensed components (potassium and sodium sulfates) were obtained for the cases of two-phase and single-phase equilibriums; conclusions on the comparative influence of solid and liquid slag removal on the probability of the formation of submicron particles on the combustion of coals were made. The found dependences will make it possible to perform a numerical simulation of the bulk condensation of potassium and sodium sulfate vapors upon the cooling of coal combustion products in a process flow.
