Pilot study on jetting pre-oxidation fluidized bed gasification adapting to caking coal
Zhang, Juwei; Zhao, Zhigang; Zhang, Guangyi; Xi, Zeng; … - In: Applied Energy 110 (2013) C, pp. 276-284
Caking coal is difficult to be gasified in fluidized bed (FB) because of the inevitable particle agglomeration caused by caking in the dense bottom of the bed. Literature studies have shown that pre-oxidizing the coal can suppress its caking propensity, while quick dispersion of coal particles,...
