The Combustion of Coal and Biomass in a Fixed Bed Furnace

摘要

In many Eastern European countries the emission of pollutants from coal fired domestic and small commercial heating plants is a serious problem. One alternative method to recuce emissions is by burning coal with biomass that is by co-combustion, which would reduce the amount of net OC_2 produced, the rate of reductio of coal reserves, and the overall amounts of polutants. The effects of co-combustion of coal and biomass on the levels of pollutant formation have bee studied for a 30 kW domestic boiler. Of particular interet are the emissions of PAH and VOC since it has been shown that these emissions are lowered during co-combustion.
