Other Solid Fuels

Because of the furnace design, which incorporates a relatively large and unrestricted combustion zone, FB boilers are entirely suitable for coal and other solid fuel firing. 

The moisture component of coal and other solid fuels that is not available to bond or freeze to other particles. 

Other Solid Fuel Processing Solid fuel other than coal also can be utilized in fuel cell systems. For example, biomass and RDF (refuse-derived-fuels) can be integrated into a fuel cell system as long as the gas product is processed to meet the requirements of the fuel cell. The resulting systems would be very similar to the coal gas system with appropriate gasifying and cleanup... 

He did important work on the decompn of coal and other solid fuels. His brother, Richard Bornstein, is co-author of Landolt-Bornstein Ref F.Frank, AngChem 45,289(1932)... 

Bottom ash The noncombustible and largely nonvolatile solid remains of coal or other solid fuels that accumulate in the high-temperature regions of a combustor (compare with flyash). 

Waste tires make an excellent fuel since they have a fuel value slightly highei than that of coal, about 12,000 to 16,000 Btu per pound. On a national basis, they represent a potential energy source of 0.07 quadrillion Btu per year, since there are roughly 242 million tires discarded per year, each weighing about 20 pounds with 15,000 Btu per pound (42). This is equivalent to 12 million barrels of crude oil and represents about 0.09 percent of the national energy needs. As such, tires compete with other solid fuels-coal, petroleum coke, and wood wastes (hog fuel).

FLY ASFI - A finely divided siliceous material formed during the combustion of coal, coke, or other solid fuels. 

In addition to COM and CWM, CLM technology has been extended to include mixtures of coal-methanol, solvent-refined coal-oil, petroleum-coke oil, and other solid-fuel-liquid mixtures. However, for the purposes of this text, the contents of this section are limited to the more mature technologies involving COM and to CWM (Morrison, 1980 Argonne, 1990c). 

Other Solid Fuel Processing Solid fuels other than coal can be utilized in fuel cell systems. 

Combustion processes (combustion of carbon and other solid fuels)... 

Candle flames are created by the combustion of mixtures of paraffin with other solid fuels. The heat from the flame liquefies the solid fuel, and the combustible liquid soaks into a wick and evaporates. The flame is non-premixed. 

Emission standards for NO, in Europe vary a great deal from country to country. In addition to national limits, local regulations may be applied in many countries. Standards have been set for various fuels such as coal and other solid fuels, oil, natural gas, and municipal waste. 

Gas-solid reactions of the type disucssed in this section are of obvious importance in the combustion of coal and other solid fuels. Considerable experimental work has been done on this subject and there is an extensive literature. No attempt will be made to review this work here instead the reader is referred to a recent review article by Mulcahy and Smith [45].
