Vibration combustion as a prospect for utilizing firewood contaminated with radiocesium

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

We present results of experimental investigation relevant to vibration combustion of solid fuel specimens in a Rijke tube and the interpretation of the combustion mechanism on the basis of “energy” approach. The decrease in the flame temperature is noted, which can be used to reduce the yield of low-boiling mineral components of ash, e.g., radioactive 137Cs isotope, in the volatile phase. The distribution of 137Cs in thermal conversions of firewood has been studied with the aid of computational-experimental methods, and the use of vibration combustion for utilizing the firewood contaminated with radiocesium has been suggested to decrease the emission of 137Cs into the surrounding medium.
