Effect of co-firing on the properties of submicron aerosols from biomass combustion

摘要: Abstract As part of a more general study on particle formation process (and, specifically, the submicron fraction size distribution) in biomass combustion, effect combining with other sulfur-enriched fuels (such as coal and coke) particulate emissions has been investigated. Pulverized orujillo (an olive oil production residue) alone, resulted an important mode composed of, essentially, potassium chloride (KCl) sulfate (K2SO4) almost same mass proportion. Differently, experiments which pure gases (sulfur dioxide, SO2) sulfur-containing (coal were added to combustion lead total disappearance chlorine those particles. Orujillo was responsible for key element (i.e., potassium) fine particles emitted co-combustion fuel blends; coke served only “sulfur sources” this process. These results are interpreted framework model give basic support previous field laboratory measurements deposit corrosion biofired boilers. Chlorides being associated boiler molten at relatively low wall temperatures, present show that cofiring traditional (even small amounts) can be feasible way appreciably attenuate such adverse effects industrial
