Ash Composition Influence on Fusibility of Coal Ash

Article Preview

Abstract:

The coal of Zichang was selected as the sample coal, the physical properties of the ash is analyzed with ICP-AES. The ash fusion temperature was researched by adding different basic oxide contents. The results show that the general trend is decrease firstly, and then increase when adding basic oxides. Blended ash fusion temperatures do not change linearly with blending ratios and ash fusion will decrease when adding the contents of CaO, Na2O and MgO, but the effect is different. Na2O is best and CaO is second. Mineral composition and type at addition oxides were determined by XRD analysis. Some combinations of component coals mineral produce eutectic minerals at high temperature;It can explain the reason of oxides decrease the ash fusion. Vitreous minerals are formed to explain increase the fusion temperature.
