Abstract

In this work, the effect of O2 concentration on combustion behavior and kinetics of coal gangue during oxy-fuel combustion and oxy-steam combustion were studied by non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis technology. The results showed that the increase of O2 concentration could improve the combustion performance of coal gangue. The O2/CO2 atmosphere was unfavorable to the combustion of coal gangue compared with the O2/N2 atmosphere. Furthermore, the gasification reaction could accelerate overall carbon consumption in oxy-steam combustion with 5% O2 concentration; and the presence of H2O could delay the ignition and accelerate burnout at this condition. Kinetic analysis showed that the combustion of coal gangue in O2/N2 and O2/CO2 atmosphere followed the first-order kinetics under O2 concentrations studied; and the combustion in O2/H2O atmosphere followed the 0.5-order kinetics at 5% and 10% O2 concentration, while it followed the first-order kinetics at 21% O2 concentration.
