Sinopsis

In the course of development bubbling FBC boilers for domestic coals, in the Laboratory for Thermal Engineering and Energy, of the Institute for Nuclear Sciences Vinca special attention was paid to the fundamental research (both experimental and modeling) of the single coal particle behavior in fluidized bed, in order to reveal influence of coal characteristics on boiler concept and design.
In order to follow coal particle behaviour and changes, and influence of bed temperature, fluidization velocity and coal characteristics, the following processes were experimentally investigated for coals of different rank:

• bed to coal particle heat and mass transfer,
• kinetics of devolatilization process,
• particle fragmentation,
• ignition temperature and start-up temperature,
• combustion kinetics of parent coal and char
• burning particle temperature history and bed to particle temperature difference,
• SO₂ self-retention by ash.
