Abstract
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was used in this study to measure quantitatively the sodium (Na) and potassium (K) release from burning coal particles under oxy-fuel combustion environments. A specially designed laminar premixed burner was employed to provide a postflame environment with different O-2 and CO2 concentrations, in which the effects of O-2 and CO2 on the release of Na and K during coal oxy-fuel combustion were studied systematically. For the devolatilization stage, neither O-2 nor CO2 had significant influence on the Na and K release. The release of Na and K during the char stage, however, changed significantly at different O-2 and CO2 concentrations. Under these experimental conditions, when the O-2 concentration... (More)
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was used in this study to measure quantitatively the sodium (Na) and potassium (K) release from burning coal particles under oxy-fuel combustion environments. A specially designed laminar premixed burner was employed to provide a postflame environment with different O-2 and CO2 concentrations, in which the effects of O-2 and CO2 on the release of Na and K during coal oxy-fuel combustion were studied systematically. For the devolatilization stage, neither O-2 nor CO2 had significant influence on the Na and K release. The release of Na and K during the char stage, however, changed significantly at different O-2 and CO2 concentrations. Under these experimental conditions, when the O-2 concentration increased from 3.9% to 10.6%, the peak concentration of Na at the char stage increased from 15.2 mg/m(3) to 33.7 mg/m(3), and the maximum concentration of K increased from 6.2 mg/m(3) to 11.7 mg/m(3). When the CO2 concentration increased from 35.8% to 69.4%, the release of Na and K was inhibited during the char stage, with the peak concentration decreasing from 8.9 mg/m(3) to 6.9 mg/m(3) for Na and from 3.7 mg/m(3) to 2.4 mg/m(3) for K. During the ash stage, the release of Na and K decreased with the O-2 concentration, whereas it increased with the CO2 concentration. (Less)
