Abstract:Zhundong (ZD) coal is one significant fuel source in China but
contains a lot of sodium, limiting its utilization. In this work,
the effects of sodium in ZD coal were investigated on coal conversion
and NO
x
emissions with a batch fluidized
bed reactor in chemical looping. Here, ZD coal was processed by the
water-washing method to remove water-soluble sodium in ZD coal. During
the traditional combustion process, water-soluble sodium had negative
effects on coal conversion and NO generation. When chemical loop… Show more
