With the development of societies fossil energy is no longer the
only energy resource, and increasing attention had been paid to
alternative energy. Biomass is considered to be one of the
alternatives due to efficiency and low cost. This book presents
biomass pyrolysis behavior for three main components: Cellulose,
Hemicellulose and Lignin, and discusses the influence of mineral
salts , zeolite catalysts and metal oxide on their pyrolysis.
Low-Rank Coals for Power Generation, Fuel and Chemical Production
provides a thorough introduction to lignite (brown coal) and
subbituminous coals and explores how they can be used efficiently
and economically in place of hard coal. The book examines the
undesirable characteristics of low-quality coals, such as high
moisture content, low calorific value, and aggressive ash
characteristics, and the resulting refinements to standard
technologies and practices required for successful combustion,
gasification, and pyrolysis. The first part of this book provides a
comprehensive and systematic review of the properties of low-rank
coals and corresponding preparation methods, such as drying,
cleaning, and upgrading. Power generation from low-rank coals is
the focus of Part 2, with chapter topics ranging from high
efficiency pulverized coal combustion and circulating fluidized bed
combustion to emerging areas such as chemical looping and oxyfuel
combustion. The final contributions address the important subjects
of coal-to-liquids,polygeneration and coke production using
low-rank coals, as well as the critical issue of carbon capture and
storage. This book is a valuable resource for power generation
engineers and researchers seeking to maximize the opportunities
provided by these cheaper coal feedstocks for efficient and
environmentally compatible power generation.
