Numerical Simulation on South American Coal Reburning in a Pulverized Coal Combustor

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the increasingly serious impacts of NOx on environment, measures of controlling NOx are extremely necessary. Reburning technology has become a proven and effective method to control the emissions of NOx. In this paper, CFD software has been used to simulate the reburning process of South American coal (SAm) so as to study the effect of the reburning on the combustion in the furnace and NOx reduction. The result shows that, SAm reburning can reduce NOx emissions effectively, and removal rate of NOx reaches 50.63% with respect to the conventional combustion.
