Combustion of black coal in the form of coal-water slurry in low-capacity boilers

The present paper describes the examples of experimental and industrial implementation of technologies of flame-droplet combustion of the coal-water mixture in furnaces above a bed consisting of burning coal and in a swirling-type furnace chamber. For preparing coal-water fuel (CWF), Kuznetsk coals of G and D ranks, as well as tailings of coking coals, were used. The future prospect of both technologies of coal combustion has been shown from both economic and environmental standpoints.
