Abstract

Combustion profiles of coal-limestone-paper blends were studied using thermogravimetric/ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG/FTIR). The role of limestone in promoting the initial combustion of coal-paper blends and its ability to absorb sulphur oxides were examined.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels TG/FTIR-Spektroskopie wurden die Verbrennungsprofile von Kohle-Kalkstein-Papier-Gemischen untersucht. Dabei wurde die Rolle von Kalkstein bei der Förderung des Verbrennungsbeginnes von Kohle-Papier-Gemischen und bei ihrer Fähigkeit, Schwefeloxide zu absorbieren, geprüft.
