Effect of CaO, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 in Coal Ash on the Retention of Acid-Forming Elements During Coal Combustion
Author:
Abstract: Industrial coal combustion ashes as well as laboratory-scale experiments were used for the evaluation whether CaO, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 can help with the retention of volatile and acid-forming elements (S, Cl, Br, As and Se). Both industrial ashes evaluation and laboratory combustion experiments lead to the conclusion that CaO can efficiently help with the capture of not only S, but also of Cl, Br, As and Se.
