Application of Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-Ir) Spectroscopy to in-Situ Studies of Coal Combustion.

摘要

The feasibility of using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-ir) spectroscopy for in situ measurement of gas phase species concentrations and temperature during coal combustion is examined. This technique is evaluated in terms of its potential ability to monitor several important chemical and physical processes which occur in pulverized coal combustion. FT-ir absorption measurements of highly sooting, gaseous hydrocarbon/air flames are presented to demonstrate the fundamental usefulness of the technique for in situ detection of gas phase temperatures and species concentrations in high temperature combustion environments containing coal, char, mineral matter and soot particles. Preliminary results for coal/gaseous fuel/air flames are given. (ERA citation 07:044272)
