New Technologies of Pulverized Coal Combustion. Oxy-Fuel Combustion

Oxy-fuel combustion makes it possible to implement the scenario of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to significantly reduce CO2 emissions without using sorption processes after combustion. This technology can be used to create new power plants and retrofit existing boilers. The amount and composition of flue gases in an oxy-fuel boiler differs significantly from the composition of the environment in a traditional air combustion system, which determines the differences in reaction properties, heat transfer, and emissions. The paper offers an overview of studies carried out in different countries to refine the calculation methods and utilized empirical coefficients. © 2022, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
