Effects of Sewage Sludge on Combustion of Loading Alkali Metal Pulverized Coal

Abstract:

The effects of sewage sludge on combustion of loading alkali metal pulverized coal is carried out by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The result shows sewage sludge decreases initial release temperature and ignition temperature of volatile matter(VM) during the combustion of loading alkali metal pulverized coal. The combustion of fixed carbon in coal was promoted by the metal material in sludge when the sludge mixing ratio(SMA) was lower than 20% or inhibited because of the cover of sludge ash when SMA was higher than 40%. Comparison of stacking curves of sludge and measured curves of loading alkali metal coal, finds that: (1) there is no effect between sludge and coal, for the volatilization of water and small molecule substance, the combustion characteristic curves are superimposed in both experimental curves; (2) the co-combustion is interactional and interrestricted continuous change process, can't direct obtain from superimposition of curves, for the combustion of VM and fixed carbon. While SMA is lower than 20%, the samples have good combustion characteristic than pure coal.
