Description
Incuding an overview of two of the most common uses of coal: combustion and gasification. First, it outlines problems and possible solutions, and then the nature of coal is described. The book goes on to describe the technical aspects of combustion of pulverized coal and the combustion mechanism of coal in fixed, moving, and fluidized beds. Industrial coal combustion applications are then outlined, together with other combustion applications, including co-firing, coal-water, slurries, and briquettes. Finally, gasification of coal, a possible major clean coal technology of the future, is discussed.
Reviews / Votes
Throughout, the writing is at a level that should be understandable by general readers with modest backgrounds in chemistry. It is amply illustrated with table and charts. Appendixes supply technical data on emissions, equilibrium constants, combustion calculations, and flame temperatures. Extensive reference list. A very good introduction to the field; recommended for general library collections. General readers; upper-division undergraduate and graduate students; two-year technical program students. - Choice.A very good introduction to the field; recommended for general library collections L.A.
