Process Chemistry of Coal Utilization (eBook, ePUB)

Impacts of Coal Quality and Operating Conditions

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Process Chemistry of Coal Utilization: Reaction Mechanisms for Coal Decomposition and Volatiles Conversion relates major advances in coal science on how to interpret performance data from lab, pilot and commercial scales. The book presents a very broad range of quantitative methods, from statistical regressions, to rudimentary models, CFD and comprehensive reaction mechanisms. Combining the latest research in the field, including an abundance of lab datasets, the book illustrates how a particular operating condition affects a specific coal-based reaction system. Managers who use these tactics will be able to tailor their testing and simulation work to effectively characterize and solve their problems.

• Compiles fully validated reaction mechanisms that accurately depict the coal quality impacts in all major coal utilization technologies
• Includes an abundance of lab datasets that clearly illustrate how operating conditions affect coal-based reaction systems

Autorenporträt

Dr. Niksa is the President of Niksa Energy Associates, and his main area of research is the release of NOx, particulates, and polynuclear aromatic compounds during pulverized fuel combustion. His reaction mechanisms for coal devolatilization spawned a predictive capability for NOx and LOI emissions from full-scale, coal-fired utility boilers now available at over 80 American utility companies. His second interest in in inorganic transformations in combustors, including minerals, alkali compounds, and trace metals. He formulated the most comprehensive mechanisms available to predict Hg and Se emissions from coal-fired gas cleaning systems. He is also involved in catalyst deactivation during hydrothermal treatment of residual petroleum fractions, and during flue gas cleaning in utility SCRs. He has published various research articles and contributed to many books.
