Environmental effects of coal combustion

  • Published:
Journal of thermal analysis Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

First an introduction is given about the environmental effects of coal combustion. Then the thermoanalytical research in this field is reviewed. Modern topics are the catalytic reduction of NOx in exhaust-gases and the development of regenerative sulfur capture sorbents for use in fluidized-bed coal combustion.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird zuerst eine Einführung über die Umwelteinflüsse auf die Kohleverbrennung gegeben. Dann folgt ein überblick über die thermoanalytische Forschung auf diesem Gebiet. Moderne Themen sind dabei die katalytische Reduktion von NOx in Auspuffgasen und die Entwicklung von Schwefel-Sorptionsmitteln zur Verwendung bei der Flie\bett-Kohleverbrennung.
