Coal Combustion Theory. Combustion is a rapid chemical reaction between fuel and oxygen. When combustible elements of fuel combine with O 2, heat energy comes out. During combustion combustible elements like Carbon, Sulfur, Hydrogen etc combine with oxygen and produce respective oxides. The source of oxygen in fuel combustion is air.

Introduction. Oxyfuel combustion is one of the leading technologies considered for capturing CO 2 from power plants with CCS. This involves the process of burning the fuel with nearly pure oxygen instead of air. In order to control the flame temperature, some part of the flue gas are recycled back into the furnace/boiler.
The TGDTGDSC curves of the pulverized coal combustion process of two types of MDS with different ratios are demonstrated in Figure 7. According to the peak shape of the DTG and DSC curves, the combustion process of pulverized coal can be divided into two stages: (1) The volatile escaping and homogeneous combustion stage (260410 °C); the ...
Coal is a black or brownishblack sedimentary rock that can be burned for fuel and used to generate is composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons, which contain energy that can be released through combustion (burning). Coal is the largest source of energy for generating electricity in the world, and the most abundant fossil fuel in the United States.
