TY - JOUR N2 - Preliminary lab-scale investigations were conducted on slagging abatement in biomass-firing by fuel mixing. Three agriculture biomass fuels and olive cake were used in the experiments. Polish lignites and bituminous coals were examined as anti-sintering additives. The effects of chlorine release, potassium retention and ash sintering were examined by heating samples of biomass fuels and additives in the muffle oven and, next, firing them in the laboratory down-fired furnace at the temperature in the range of 800-1150ºC. The obtained slag samples were analysed on: chlorine and potassium content, sintering tendency and crystalline components. Among the examined coals lignite from Turów mine and bituminous coal from Bolesław Śmiały mine appeared to be the most effective in potassium retention in aluminosilicate and chlorine release from slag. Possibly the major factor of these coals which reduced ash sintering was relatively high content of kaolinite L1 - http://journals.pan.pl/Content/84962/PDF/08-paper-Kordylewski.pdf L2 - http://journals.pan.pl/Content/84962 PY - 2014 IS - No 2 June EP - 262 DO - 10.2478/cpe-2014-0019 KW - biomass KW - coal KW - ash KW - chlorine KW - slagging A1 - Kordylewski, Włodzimierz K.
