Cement industry, due to the decomposition of CaCO3 and production clinker, emits large amounts CO2 into atmosphere. This anthropogenic gas can be captured through its synthesis with green hydrogen, methanol finally synthetic fuels are achieved. By using e-fuel, Europe's climate neutrality objectives could However, energy transition still lacks a clear roadmap, decisions strongly affected by geopolitical situation, demand economy. Therefore, different scenarios analysed assess influence key...
Biogas is a renewable gas with low heat energy, which makes it extremely difficult to use as fuel in conventional natural equipment. Nonetheless, the of hydrogen biogas additive has proven have beneficial effect on flame stability and combustion behavior. This study evaluates biogas–hydrogen burner able work up 100 kW. Tests were performed for three different compositions biogas: BG70 (30% CO2), BG60 (40% BG50 (50% CO2). To achieve better stability, each was enriched from 5% 25%. The...
The energy sector is in the spotlight today for its contribution to global warming and dependence on geopolitics. Even though many countries have reduced their use of coal, COVID-19 crisis, drop temperatures Central Asia, war between Russia Ukraine shown that coal continues play an important role this today. As long as we continue depend energetically it necessary create basis successful extraction industrial mine methane (CMM), example, unconventional resource. Early degassing technology a...
In this study, the stable combustion ranges and emission values of JP8 fuel, which is used in military aviation, were tested optimum conditions determined. The AFR (Air/Fuel Ratio) flame was increased experimentally at constant thermal power a gas turbine chamber. as 30/1, 33/1, 36/1, 39/1 42/1. A generator with 0.4 swirl number placed burner outlet. Under these conditions, effect external acoustic enforcement frequencies on dynamic instabilities different investigated. Flame length...
Abstract The influence of particle size on the flammability and explosion severity has been widely demonstrated for coals along years: thinner size, more flammable is dust severe are explosions. Later, increase use biomass led to using same resources techniques both groups materials, considering them similar enough. However, there basic differences between coal particles that leads different behaviours when focusing industrial fire safety. This difference starting point this review, where a...
Dust explosions and fires pose an industrial safety problem, due to the human material losses caused by them. As many fuel processes transport generate powder particles, effect of granulometry in different flammability properties has been studied define relationship between both. Deep knowledge this reduces self-ignition self-combustion processes, accidents associated with these processes. In study, six samples, including biomass, charcoal, dog food, are tested three particle sizes, so...
Environmental problems are frequently related to energy use, estimated grow at 1.6% per year until 2035. The transport sector accounts for 30% of demand and aviation is growing around 2.6% year. Thus, low-emissions policies promote the use sustainable fuels. This work simulates a gasification Fischer-Tropsch process obtain biojet fuel from biomass plastic waste. Syngas obtained through cogasification purified by amine scrubbing subjected produce hydrocarbons, which upgraded optimal...
Global warming and the GHG effect have forced reduction of energetic dependence on fossil fuels. Because that, research focusing biomass properties, characteristics conversion has increased in last decades. The present study was carried out terms determination kinetic parameters, two different processes: pyrolysis, under nitrogen atmosphere, oxygen-enriched combustion, using an atmosphere air enriched with 30% oxygen. Three lignocellulosic bio-mass samples were used. Thermogravimetric...
Self-ignition of solid fuels storage is one the main causes human and economic losses. Additionally, each fire caused by this phenomenon emits an amount toxic gases that contributes on development climate change. Nowadays, several methodologies are used in order to detect self-ignition tendency fuels, but they have as disadvantages money time require. The aim study propose a methodology detection incipient through measurement gas emissions. This compares existing tendency, such TG, DSC or...
In recent years, coal mine methane measurement techniques in mines have been gaining importance as poor firedamp control work can cause the interruption of production and even fatal accidents. Since there is currently a variety equipment with different functional characteristics principles, study needed to indicate which type has highest degree confidence. This research presents results carried out by Official Laboratory J. M. Madariaga (LOM) Polytechnic University Madrid that aims analyze...
