  • Update on Lignite Firing
    Update on lignite firing Qian Zhu CCC/201 ISBN 978-92-9029-521-1 June 2012 copyright © IEA Clean Coal Centre Abstract Low rank coals have gained increasing importance in recent years and the long-term future of coal -derived energy supplies will have to include the greater use of low rank coal. However, the relatively low economic value due to the high moisture content and low calorific value, and other undesirable properties of lignite coals limited their use mainly to power generation at, or, close to, the mining site. Another important issue regarding the use of lignite is its environmental impact. A range of advanced combustion technologies has been developed to improve the efficiency of lignite-fired power generation. With modern technologies it is now possible to produce electricity economically from lignite while addressing environmental concerns. This report reviews the advanced technologies used in modern lignite-fired power plants with a focus on pulverised lignite combustion technologies. CFBC combustion processes are also reviewed in brief and they are compared with pulverised lignite combustion technologies.

The aim of this study is the analysis of the carbon footprint of mercury removal technologies through sorbents injection related to the removal of 1 kg of mercury from flue gases. Two sorbents, i.e., powdered activated carbon and the coke dust, were analysed. The assessment included both direct and indirect emissions related to various energy and material needs life cycle including coal mining and transport, sorbents production, transport of sorbents to the power plants, and injection into flue gases. The results show that at the average mercury concentration in processed flue gasses accounting to 28.0 µg Hg/Nm3, removal of 1 kg of mercury from flue gases required 14.925 Mg of powdered activated carbon and 33.594 Mg of coke dust, respec- tively. However, the whole life cycle carbon footprint for powdered activated carbon amounted to −1 89.548 Mg CO2-e·kg Hg, whereas for coke dust this value was around three times lower and −1 amounted to 24.452 Mg CO2-e·kg Hg. Considering the relatively low price of coke dust and its lower impact on GHG emissions, it can be found as a promising alternative to commercial powdered Citation: Gazda-Grzywacz, M.; activated carbon.

  • Appendix A: Calculation of Flue Gas Composition
    Appendix A: Calculation of Flue Gas Composition Consider 100 kg of biomass (pine wood) with an Ultimate Analysis on a dry ash free basis given in Table A.1. This calculation assumes that all the carbon is burned i.e. there is no carbon in the ash or carbon monoxide formed. If there is the unburned carbon has to be sub- tracted from the value of carbon in the above table. Also that the S, N and Cl are negligible and there is no ingress of N2 in the flue or sampling system. Moisture content given in the Proximate Analysis has to be allowed for in the calculation as well. Assume the combustion reactions are C + O2 = CO2 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O Oxygen required for stoichiometric combustion = 4.33 + 1.6 − 1.3 = 4.63kg-mol Air requirement = [4.63 × 100 × 22.41 ]/[ 21]=494.1 m3 at NTP Composition of the dry flue gas from the stoichiometric combustion of 1 kg of biomass: 3 N2 from theoretical air 4.94 0.79 3.90 m . = × = 3 N2 from biomass 0.001 0.224 0.0002 m . = × = 3 CO2 from biomass 4.33 0.224 0.97 m .
