摘要

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of solid fuel blending as an effective approach to manipulate ash melting behaviour to alleviate ash-related problems during gasification

thus improving design

operability and safety. The ash fusion characteristics of Qinghai bituminous coal together with Fushun

Xinghua and Laoheishan oil shales (and their respective blends) were quantified using a novel picture analysis and graphing method

which incorporates conventional ash fusion study

dilatometry and sintering strength test

in a CO/CO

atmosphere. This image-based characterisation method was used to monitor and quantify the complete melting behaviour of ash samples from room temperature to 1520℃. The impacts of blending on compositional changes during heating were determined experimentally

via

X-ray diffraction and validated computationally using FactSage. Results showed that the melting point of Qinghai coal ash to be the lowest at 1116℃

but would increase up to 1208℃

1161℃ and 1160℃ with the addition of 30%-50% of Laoheishan

Fushun

and Xinghua oil shales

respectively. The formation of hig

h-melting anorthite and mullite structures inhibits the formation of low-melting hercynite. However

the sintering point of Qinghai coal ash was seen to decrease from 1005℃ to 855℃

834℃

and 819℃ in the same blends due to the formation of low-melting aluminosilicate. Results also showed that blending directly influences the sintering strength during the various stages of melting. The key finding from this study is that it is possible to mitigate against the severe ash slagging and fouling issue arising from high calcium and iron coals by co-gasification with a high silica-alumina oil shale. Moreover

blending coals with oil shales can also modify the ash melting behaviour of fuels to create the optimal ash chemistry that meets the design specification of the gasifier

without adversely affecting thermal performance.
