The paper presents thermal analysis of combustion of Borodinsky brown coal with combustion heat of 16.34 MJ kg-1 and Balakhtinsky brown coal with combustion heat of 20.49 MJ kg-1 and their mixture in the mass proportion of 50/50%. Using the method of extrapolation of curves, the ignition and ignition temperatures of the coke residue were determined. The ignition temperature of Borodinsky coal was 332°C, the combustion temperature was 656°C. The ignition temperature of Balakhta coal was 358°C, the burnout temperature was 672°C. When adding 50% of Balakhta coal to 50% of Borodinsky coal the ignition temperature of the mixture decreased, the burnout temperature did not change, the fuel combustion index calculated in the work decreased and the heat of coal mixture combustion increased.

The process of combusting Tuva coals before and after their carbonization was studied using the methods of thermogravimetric analysis and electron microscopy. Coal samples were subjected to thermomechanical and elemental analysis, which revealed a higher content of volatile substances in Kaa-Khem coal (47.5 %) compared to Chadan coal (10 %). Following carbonization, a decrease in volatile substances to 11.5 % and 9.3 %, respectively, was observed. The conducted thermogravimetric analysis showed the ignition temperature of the coke residue of the Kaa-Khem and Chadan coal samples to increase by 76 °C and 90 °C, respectively, after carbonization. The burnup temperature of the coke residue after carbonizing (723 °C) Kaa-Khem coal samples remained effectively the same, while the Chadan coal showed an increase from 704 °C to 727 °C. The carbonization of coals was established to decrease the maximum reaction rate from 19 % per min to 10% per min for Kaa-Khem coal and from 26 % per min to 11 % per min for Chadan coal. The process of combusting the coke residue after coal carbonization was found to shift into the region of higher temperatures: from 448–723°C to 524–724°C for Kaa-Khem coal and from 436–704 °C to 526–727 °C for Chadan coal. A morphological analysis of the surface of coal particles after carbonization showed the appearance of larger-size pores and cracks on the surface of carbonates compared to coal before carbonization. The conclusion is made that the content of volatile substances, rather than the developed pore structure, comprises the main factor in improving the combustion characteristics of Tuva coals under the conditions of non-isothermal heating before and after their carbonization.

In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using a solid fuel mixture based on lignite from the Bolshesyrsky coal mine and birch wood waste in power plants, taking synergistic interactions between the mixture components into account. Simultaneous thermal analysis was used to determine the main combustion characteristics of lignite, biomass and their mixtures. Non-isothermal heating was performed at a rate of 20°C/min across the temperature range of 25–800°C under the air flow of 50 ml/min. The sample weight was about 6 mg. Proximate and elemental analyses of lignite and biomass samples were performed according to conventional methods. The advantages and disadvantages of converting power plants operated on solid fossil fuels to a solid fuel mixture of lignite and biomass are discussed. The main combustion characteristics of lignite, biomass and their mixtures were defined. The ignition temperature of the coke residue and biomass was found to comprise 365 and 299°C, respectively. The temperature of combustion completion for lignite and biomass was 551 and 464°C, respectively. In comparison with lignite, biomass burns at lower temperatures due to the high content of volatile substances. The addition of biomass to lignite was found to reduce both the ignition temperature of the coke residue and that of combustion completion. An analysis of the combustion process of volatile substances and coke residue established the presence of both positive and negative synergistic interactions between lignite and biomass particles, affecting the maximum combustion rate and the mixture reactivity. The results obtained can be applied when designing power plants operated on solid fuel mixtures of lignite and biomass.
