The topic of waste combustion/co-combustion is critical, given the increasingly restrictive legal regulations regarding its environmental aspects. In this paper, authors present test results selected fuels different compositions: hard coal, coal sludge, coke waste, sewage paper biomass and polymer waste. conducted a proximate ultimate analysis materials mercury content in them their ashes. An interesting element was chemical XRF fuels. preliminary combustion research using new bench. provide...
According to data from the European Environmental Agency (EEA), taking into account only energy production and distribution sector, Poland emits almost 12.4% of chromium, 13.6% nickel, 23.5% lead 28.9% zinc annually when compared total emissions these pollutants released by EU Members (EU28) in this sector [1]. Coal combustion processes constitute one biggest emission sources above-mentioned elements environment. found literature subject, amounts Cr, Ni, Pb Zn Polish hard coals Upper...
The chemical composition of coal mineral matter, and particularly the content major elements (Al, Si, Fe, Ca, K, Na, Mg), plays an important role in processing use bituminous coals. Mineral matter is ballast, reducing calorific value fuel. aim study was to analyze concentrations main coking products its cleaning heavy media, jiggers flotation machines. Analysis performed through technique atomic absorption spectrometry AAS. results are discussed relation each operation mechanical treatment....
The paper presents physicochemical properties of pyrolysis oil (PO) blends obtained from rubber and spent tires mixed with selected heavy fuel (HFO) the effect PO on final heating oil. On basis determinations, one sample was selected, which characterized by best point view technological application. In next step, for consisting 25% 75% HFO were determined. It found that most important property tire-derived is content gasoline, i.e., light hydrocarbons a boiling below 180 °C, determine...
In the coking process, prevailing part of alkalis contained in coal charge goes to coke.The content (and also coke) is determined mainly by two elements: sodium and potasium.The presence these elements connected with their occurrence mineral matter moisture coal.In coals used for coke production determinable 26.6 up 62. per cent, whereas that potassium 37.1 73.4 cent total alkalis.Major carriers are clay minerals.Occasionally found micas feldspars.The fraction amount there 17.8 62.0 cent.The...
