Abstract
The oxy-fuel combustion technology is going to be a key solution for CO2 capture and sequestration. And the era of oxy-fuel combustion is approaching. However, the combustion characteristics, such as ignition, flame stability, and combustion duration, have changed because the coal particles are combusted in CO2 atmosphere. Thus, the novel design technologies of combustor used in oxy-fuel combustion technology are demanded. We have concluded several critical rules from the experiment data obtained from the coal particles combusted in a retrofitted fixed bed reactor in Ar, N2 and CO2 respectively. The coal particles are prone to be ignited but take more time to burn up in CO2 atmosphere at low temperature of 1,000–1,300°C comparing to the data obtained from N2 and Ar atmospheres under the same conditions. And when at high temperature of 1,600°C, the combustion duration of coal particles combusted in CO2 is the same with that of Ar and N2 situation. The NOx is prone to released ahead of the carbon combustion at relatively high temperature, and the priority of NOx release to Carbon combustion is aggravated as the temperature increases. The overall analysis and comparison among the three atmospheres make the novel design and layout of oxy-fuel combustor feasible. Consequently, the guidelines for these aims basing on those rules conclude from the experimental data and the relative researchers’ work are discussed and a novel design of oxy-fuel burner is put forward and simulated in this paper.
