AB  - Homogeneity of the flue gas-flow through the chamber of an electrostatic precipitator is one of the basic influencing parameter on dedusting efficiency. This paper presents results of a multiobjective optimization study of the flue gas controlling devices of electrostatic precipitator of 324 MWe lignite fired Unit A4 of TPP "Nikola Tesla" in Serbia. The aim was to achieve better flow homogeneity in the cross-section of the precipitator compared to the original design. Additional constraints were to maintain the minimum as possible overall weight of the proposed design as well as pressure drop through the precipitator. Numerical simulations based on CFD were used to investigate dependence of the velocity distribution in the ducts and precipitator’s chamber with respect to the geometrical parameters of tested concepts of turning blades. A series of 22 detailed full-scale numerical models of the precipitator with different concepts of turning vanes designs were developed. Assessment of the flow field uniformity for each tested design was performed based on the analysis of several homogeneity parameters calculated for selected vertical cross-sections of the precipitator. After the reconstruction according to optimized design, results of measurements confirmed significant improvements of the velocity distribution in the vertical cross-sections of the precipitator, increase of dedusting efficiency and reduction of PM emission.

AB  - Apricot kernel shells are naturally available source of biomass with potential for conversion to clean energy through a thermo-chemical process such as pyrolysis. To facilitate further process development, an advanced mathematical model which represents the process kinetics is developed and validated on the thermal decomposition studies using simultaneous thermal analysis, over a temperature range of 30-900 °C, at four heating rates of 5, 10, 15 and 20 °C min−1, under argon atmosphere. Model-free analysis and numerically developed methods were utilized for determination of effective activation energies, pre-exponential factors and the fractional contribution. A novel approach is introduced in order to determine actual pseudo-components of studied biomass that are included in its composition. The comparative study of the obtained kinetic results was also presented. The results obtained strongly indicated that the pseudo-component reaction modelling method could be employed to predict the experimental devolatilization rate and biomass composition with a high likelihood of success.

AB  - Thermo-analytical characterization of selected biomasses (agricultural waste and wood biomass feedstock) through the pyrolysis process was performed under dynamic conditions. Slow pyrolysis (carbonization) regime (with a heating rate below 50 °C min−1) was selected because it favours the residual solid (bio-carbon/bio-char) in the higher yields (change in the surface area of bio-char with pyrolysis conditions was dependent on the type of biomass feedstock). Comparison of results and discussions related to obtained percentage pyro char yields from thermo-chemical conversion of biomass feedstocks were generated from simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) (TGA-DTG-DTA apparatus). The analysis of gaseous products of pyrolysis was carried out using mass spectrometry (MS) technique. Releasing of the light gaseous compounds (mainly CO, CO2, CH4, and H2 non-condensable gases) was monitored simultaneously with TGA measurements. Discussion related to this issue was performed from the aspect of the syngas production, as well as the versatility of selected biomasses in the gasification process where the various gasifying agent may be in use. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

AB  - Thermo-oxidative degradation of mollusk shells to CaO through intermediate phase of CaCO3 has been investigated using various analytical techniques. Powders of shells species (Dosinia exoleta and Ostrea edulis), with particle size fractions of 0.045 – 0.125 mm, 0.125–0.2 mm, and 0.2–1 mm, were subjected to degradation at the various heating rates (5, 10, 15 and 20 °C min−1). Degradation pathway of this carbonate-rich waste material has not yet been analyzed in detail at particulate level. Understanding transformation process in air should lead to control over yield and morphology of final product. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to benchmark transformation steps at different heating rates and final decarbonation temperatures, while scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to analyze the effect of temperature on evolution of morphological changes for particles of different fractions. It was found that sintering in the presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) could be triggered by agglomeration of CaO crystals, enhanced by CO2 adsorption that increases surface energy. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - Slow pyrolysis characteristics of agricultural residue feedstocks (corn brakes, wheat straw, and hazelnut shell) were investigated by simultaneous thermal analysis (STA–TG–DTG–DSC), coupled with mass spectrometry (MS). Thermal decomposition of agricultural residues was divided into three stages, corresponding to removal of water, devolatilization, and formation of bio-char. It was found that differences in thermal behavior of samples are due to differences in their composition. The MS results showed that H2, CH4, H2O, CO2 (C3H8), CO, and C2H6 were the main gaseous products released during pyrolysis. It was shown that hazelnut shells could be a good combustion fuel, since during its pyrolysis at high temperature, more gaseous products compared to other systems are very favored. For hazelnut shell pyrolysis, the CO2 can be used on the large scale for the production of CO-rich syngas. © 2019, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.

AB  - During the utilization of coal in large power plants, one of the major logistical issues is related to spontaneous ignition of the coal. This characteristic of coal depends on the rank and type of the coal, the content of the moisture and volatile matter as well as particle size distribution. This paper presents the novel approach for determination of spontaneous ignition potential of the coal developed as the internal laboratory experimental method. The experimental tests were performed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) of tested samples at five different heating rates: 3, 5, 7, 10 and 20 K min−1 under an air atmosphere. The TGA results were used for determination of tangent slope of the mass loss rate curves in the zone of the release of volatiles at considered heating rates for all coal samples. The linear interpolation of the data obtained by performed tangent slope analysis and heating rates provides the straight line unique for each tested sample. According to the standard method, the slope of the obtained straight line is defined as thermogravimetric index of spontaneous ignition (TGspi). In addition, a new formula for determination of TGspi index was provided. Three different coal samples were analyzed and classified according to the spontaneous ignition potential, based on the obtained values for TGspi by standard procedure and also using a newly proposed method. By varying the gradient of linear dependence of self-heating coefficient against reference temperatures (Tref,i), the mass and heat transfer limitations for different coals were discussed. © 2019 The Combustion Institute

AB  - As waste biomass from fruit processing industry, apricot kernel shells have a potential for conversion to renewable energy through a thermo-chemical process such as pyrolysis. However, due to major differences of biomass characteristics as the well-known issue, it is extremely important to perform detailed analysis of biomass samples from the same type (or same species) but from different geographical regions. Regarding full characterization of considered biomass material and to facilitate further process development, in this paper, the advanced mathematical model for kinetic analysis was used. All performed kinetic modeling represents the process kinetics developed and validated on thermal decomposition studies using simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) – differential thermal analysis (DTA) – mass spectrometry (MS) scanning, at four heating rates of 5, 10, 15 and 20 °C min−1, over temperature range 30–900 °C and under an argon (Ar) atmosphere. Model-free analysis for base prediction of decomposition process and deconvolution approach by Fraser-Suzuki functions were utilized for determination of effective activation energies (E), pre-exponential factors (A) and fractional contributions (φ), as well as for separation of overlapping reactions. Comparative study of kinetic results with emission analysis of evolved gas species was also implemented in order to determine the more comprehensive pyrolysis kinetics model. Obtained results strongly indicated that the Fraser-Suzuki deconvolution provides excellent quality of fits with experimental ones, and could be employed to predict devolatilization rates with a high probability. From energy compensation effect properties, it was revealed the existence of unconventional thermal lag due to heat demand by chemical reaction. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

Model-free analysis for base prediction of decomposition process and deconvolution approach by Fraser-Suzuki functions were utilized for determination of effective activation energies (E), pre-exponential factors (A) and fractional contributions (φ), as well as for separation of overlapping reactions. Comparative study of kinetic results with emission analysis of evolved gas species was also implemented in order to determine the more comprehensive pyrolysis kinetics model. Obtained results strongly indicated that the Fraser-Suzuki deconvolution provides excellent quality of fits with experimental ones, and could be employed to predict devolatilization rates with a high probability. From energy compensation effect properties, it was revealed the existence of unconventional thermal lag due to heat demand by chemical reaction. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.",

AB  - The anthropogenic emission of GHG especially CO has to be limited and reduced due to 2 their impact on global warming and climate change. Combustion of fossil fuels in the energy sector has a dominant share in total GHG emissions. In order to reduce GHG emission, European Union established a scheme for GHG allowance trading within the community, and the implementation of the European Union emission trading scheme, which is a key to GHG reduction in a cost-effective way. An important part of emission trading scheme is prescribed methodology for monitoring, reporting, and verification of the emission of GHG including characterization of the local fuels combusted by the energy sector. This paper presents lignite characteristics from open-pit mine Borovica- Pljevlja, which has highest coal production in Montenegro (>1.2 Mt per year), including evaluation of its carbon emission factor based on the laboratory analysis of 72 coal samples. Testing of the samples included proximate and ultimate analysis, as well as, net calorific value determination. In accordance with the obtained results, linear correlations between net calorific value and combustible matter content, carbon content and combustible matter content, hydrogen content and combustible matter content, carbon content and net calorific value, were established. Finally, the non-linear analytical correlation between carbon emission factor and net calorific value for Pljevlja lignite was proposed, as a base for the precise calculation of CO emission evaluation.

AB  - Oxy-fuel combustion is the most promising carbon capture and storage technology, which eliminates carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere and also decreases nitrogen oxides emissions thereby lowering global warming potential. In order to implement oxy-fuel combustion technology in full scale power plants, its costs, mainly connected with the amount of pure oxygen produced, must be lowered. The main hypothesis is that it is possible to maintain similar velocity and heat transfer distribution while maintaining stable and efficient burner operation during both combustion technologies modifying burner aerodynamics. Excess oxygen is chosen as a representative parameter of burner's performance and investigation is carried out for four different oxy-fuel burner oxygen excess ratios (λ: 0.8, 0.98, 1.07, and 1.24) together with reference air combustion case. This study suggests a workflow, based on semi-industrial experimental investigations and computational fluid dynamics model composed of advanced sub-models for different combustion phases for development of real scale dual-mode coal swirl burners able for efficient operation during both combustion regimes. The results show that the temperature in near-burner zone and nitrogen oxides emissions increase, while carbon monoxide emissions decrease with the increase of burner oxygen excess ratio, and stable combustion with similar velocity and temperature distributions for both combustion modes is achieved for oxygen excess ratio of 1.07, with decrease in nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emissions during oxy-fuel combustion. The performed study demonstrates that it is possible to choose the appropriate burner settings regarding nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emissions and burner's ability to operate stably in both air and oxy-fuel combustion modes. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - This paper investigates the ability of waste apricot (Prunus armeniaca) kernel shells (AKS) bio-char prepared by single-step carbonization process at 850 °C (residence time of 1 h) for possible removal of toxic elements and organic micro-pollutants. The experiment that was performed as well as parameters used proved to be optimal for bio-char production as adsorbing medium, where last issue is validated by multiform material characterization techniques. It has been shown that the produced bio-char possess highly-porous morphology features, with large specific surface area (328.570 m2 g−1). The obtained product was characterized by various pore sizes (including super-micropores and mesopores with maximum pore size of 2.24 nm) structures. Preliminary results are indicated that obtained bio-char can shows increased affinity to possible adsorption of the small organic molecule contaminants upgraded by its physico-chemical properties. Cost estimation of AKS bio-char production substantiated its cost effectiveness and its good physical and chemical properties for future design in batch adsorption and regeneration tests. It was established that AKS produced bio-char was 2.5 times cheaper than the commercially available activated carbon. Bio-char exhibits promising removal performances for potential adsorption of heavy metal and organic micro-pollutants from wastewaters systems, as indicated by material textures and spectroscopy measurements. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - This paper describes the pyrolysis of Poplar fluff (from Populus alba) using on-line apparatus, and carbonization process at 850 °C using the fixed bed reactor. Characteristics of pyrolysis products were examined. Elemental and chemical analyses were shown that Poplar fluff has higher energy content characterized by increased content of fibrous structure (particularly cellulose). Independent parallel reactions model very well describes devolatilization process. It was found that increased amount of extractives can significantly affect on increased release of light gaseous products, but declining hydrocarbons, mostly the alkanes. Liquid product is mainly composed of phenolics, aldehydes, acids, esters and ketones. The carbonization process produces the great abundance of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's), where naphthalene is the most abundant. Mechanism for PAH's formation was suggested. This study represents the first step in a much wider and more comprehensive way in thermal conversion processes of this type of fuel. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - Dielectric relaxation spectra of three representatives of the class of hydroxyethylammonium carboxylate protic ionic liquids (PILs), namely 2-hydroxyethylammonium formate [2-HEAF], 2-hydroxyethylammonium propionate [2-HEAP] and 2-hydroxyethylammonium butanoate [2-HEAB], were recorded over a wide frequency range (0.05 ≤ ν(GHz) ≤ 50) at 25 °C. The thermal decomposition kinetics of these ionic liquids derived from organic acids was studied by thermogravimetry (TG) using nonisothermal experiments. For the purpose of kinetic analysis, the thermal behavior of the samples was studied in the temperature interval from ambient temperature up to 420 °C at different heating rates (5, 10, 15 and 20 °C min−1). Isoconversional kinetic analysis was performed using Friedman's (FR) differential method and the integral Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) method. The dependence of the apparent activation energy (E) on the conversion fraction (α) for the investigated decomposition processes was analyzed. It was found that the molecular structure of the involved anion significantly influences the dielectric properties of the studied PILs. It was also established that a change in the anion structure drastically affects the shape of the thermo-analytical curves. Among the considered PILs [2-HEAF] has the highest thermal stability. However, considering kinetic properties, certain deviations were observed and referred to hydrogen bonding development and steric impediment effects. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - The electrostatic precipitator system of the lignite fired 350 MWe unit B1 of Thermal Power Plant Kostolac B has been modernized during 2014. The results of complex in site measurements, performed in the frame of performance control test at the beginning of the exploitation period of the upgraded electrostatic pre-cipitator proved that, under normal and guarantee working conditions of the boiler and precipitator, the emission of particulate matter do not exceed limiting value. After the period of precipitator further adjustments, five series of meas-urements in the frame of acceptance test were performed in accordance with rel-evant standards. This paper presents results of the investigation of particulate matter concentration, laboratory analysis of the lignite, fly and bottom ash sam-ples, working parameters of the unit and upgraded electrostatic precipitator as well as results of the calculations. The averaged mean particulate concentration at the exit of upgraded electrostatic precipitator of the unit B1 during Acceptance test was below guaranteed value. It is confirmed that adjustments of electrostatic precipitator electrical parameters have improved electrostatic precipitator effi-ciency, as well that electrostatic precipitatorcould work highly efficiently in en-ergy save mode with lower power consumption. © 2018 Society of Thermal Engineers of Serbia.

AB  - The paper presents a possible approach for creating business decisions based on multi-criteria analysis. Seven options for a possible revitalization of the thermal power plant Kolubara-A Unit No. 2 with energy indicators of sustainable development (EISD) are presented in this paper. The chosen EISD numerically express the essential features of the analyzed options, while the sustainability criteria indicate the option quality within the limits of these indicators. In this paper, the criteria for assessing the sustainability options are defined based on several aspects: economic, social, environmental and technological. In the process of assessing the sustainability of the considered options the Analysis and Synthesis of Parameters under Information Deficiency (ASPID) method was used. In this paper, the EISD show that production and energy consumption are closely linked to economic, environmental and other indicators, such as economic and technological development of local communities with employment being one of the most important social parameter. Multi-criteria analysis for the case study of the TPP Kolubara-A clearly indicated recommendations to decision makers on the choice of the best available options in dependence on the energy policy.

AB  - Oxy-fuel coal combustion, together with carbon capture and storage or utilization, is a set of technologies allowing to burn coal without emitting globe warming CO2. As it is expected that oxy-fuel combustion may be used for a retrofit of existing boilers, development of a novel oxy-burners is very important step. It is expected that these burners will be able to sustain stable flame in oxy-fuel conditions, but also, for start-up and emergency reasons, in conventional, air conditions. The most cost effective way of achieving dual-mode boilers is to introduce dual-mode burners. Numerical simulations allow investigation of new designs and technologies at a relatively low cost, but for the results to be trustworthy they need to be validated This paper proposes a workflow for design, modeling, and validation of dual-mode burners by combining experimental investigation and numerical simulations. Experiments are performed with semi-industrial scale burners in 0.5 MW, test facility for flame investigation. Novel CFD model based on ANSYS FLUENT solver, with special consideration of coal combustion process, especially regarding devolatilization, ignition, gaseous and surface reactions, NOx formation, and radiation was suggested The main model feature is its ability to simulate pulverized coal combustion under different combusting atmospheres, and thus is suitable for both air and oxy-fuel combustion simulations. Using the proposed methodology two designs of pulverized coal burners have been investigated both experimentally and numerically giving consistent results. The improved burner design proved to be a more flexible device, achieving stable ignition and combustion during both combustion regimes: conventional in air and oxy-fuel in a mixture of O-2 and CO2 (representing dry recycledflue gas with high CO2 content). The proposed framework is expected to be of use for further improvement of multi-mode pulverized fuel swirl burners but can be also used for independent designs evaluation.

AB  - New system for start-up and flame support based on coal gasification by low temperature air thermal plasma is planned to supplement current heavy oil system in Serbian thermal power plants in order to decrease air pollutions emission and operational costs. Locally introduced plasma thermal energy heats up and ignites entrained coal particles, thus starting chain process which releases heat energy from gasified coal particles inside burner channel. Important stages during particle combustion, such as particle devolatilisation and char combustion, are described with satisfying accuracy in existing commercial computer fluid dynamics codes that are extensively used as powerful tool for pulverized coal combustion and gasification modeling. However, during plasma coal gasification, high plasma temperature induces strong thermal stresses inside interacting coal particles. These stresses lead to thermal shock and extensive particle fragmentation during which coal particles with initial size of 50-100 mu m disintegrate into fragments of at most 5-10 mu m. This intensifies volatile release by a factor 3-4 and substantially accelerates the oxidation of combustible matter. Particle fragmentation, due to its small size and thus limited influence on combustion process is commonly neglected in modelling. The main focus of this work is to suggest novel approach to pulverized coal gasification under high temperature conditions and to implement it into commercial comprehensive code ANSYS FLUENT 14.0. Proposed model was validated against experimental data obtained in newly built pilot scale direct current plasma burner test facility. Newly developed model showed very good agreement with experimental results with relative error less than 10%, while the standard built-in gasification model had error up to 25%.

AB  - A fuzzy approximation concept is applied in order to predict results of coupled computational structure mechanics and computational fluid dynamics while solving a problem of steady incompressible gas flow through thermally loaded rectangular thin-walled channel. Channel wall deforms into wave-type shapes depending on thermal load and fluid inlet velocity inducing the changes of fluid flow accordingly. A set of fluid-structure interaction numerical tests have been defined by varying the values of fluid inlet velocity, temperature of inner and outer surface of the channel wall, and numerical grid density. The unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are numerically solved using an element-based finite volume method and second order backward Euler discretization scheme. The structural model is solved by finite element method including geometric and material non-linearities. The implicit two-way iterative code coupling, partitioned solution approach, were used while solving these numerical tests. Results of numerical analysis indicate that gravity and pressure distribution inside the channel contributes to triggering the shape of deformation. In the inverse problem, the results of fluid-structure interaction numerical simulations formed a database of input variables for development fuzzy logic based models considering downstream pressure drop and maximum stresses as the objective functions. Developed fuzzy models predicted targeting results within a reasonable accuracy limit at lower computation cost compared to series of fluid-structure interaction numerical calculations. Smaller relative difference were obtained when calculating the values of pressure drop then maximal stresses indicating that transfer function influence on output values have to be additionally investigated.

AB  - U odgovarajuće propise domaćeg zakonodavstva uključeni su zahtevi iz međunarodnog dokumenta, Direktiva 2001/80/EC, koji se odnose na ograničenje emisije praškastih materija iz velikih termoenergetskih postrojenja. Shodno preuzetim obavezama, od 2005. godine započelo se sa rekonstrukcijama i modernizacijama elektrofilterskih postrojenja svih termoblokova u sastavu JP EPS. Na termoelektrani 'Nikola Tesla B' je tokom 2011. godine izvršena rekonstrukcija i modernizacija elektrofilterskog postrojenja bloka B2, dok je rekonstrukcija elektrofilterskog postrojenja bloka B1 obavljena tokom 2012. godine. Cilj obavljenih rekonstrukcija, finansiranih donacijama Evropske Unije, bio je da se emisija praškastih materija u dimnom gasu iz ovih blokova spusti na nivo ispod 50 mg/Nm3, za normalne uslove i pri garantovanim radnim uslovima kotla i elektrofilterskog postrojenja. U radu su prikazani rezultati merenja koncentracija praškastih materija u dimnom gasu iza elektrofiltera, obavljenih u skladu sa zahtevima međunarodnih standarda ISO 9096 i EN 13284-1 nakon rekonstrukcije elektrofilterskih postrojenja termoelektrane TENT B, kao i rezultati ispitivanja obavljenih nakon isteka perioda od godinu dana od završetka rekonstrukcija. Dobijeni rezultati potvrđuju da je izlazna koncentracija praškastih materija ispod garantovane vrednosti, čime je potvrđena uspešnosti izvedenih rekonstruktivnih zahvata.
AB  - The requirements of the international document Directive 2001/80/EC relating to limitation of the particulate matter emissions from large thermal power plants have been incorporated into relevant regulations of domestic legislation. In accordance with the commitments, since 2005 it was started with reconstruction and modernization of electrostatic precipitator system of all thermal units within the Electric Power Industry of Serbia. The reconstruction and modernization of electrostatic precipitator system of the unit B2 of thermal power plant 'Nikola Tesla B' was done during 2011, while the reconstruction of the electrostatic precipitator system of the unit B1 was conducted in 2012 year. One of the main objectives of performed reconstructions and modernizations, financed by donations of the European Union, was to decrease the emission of particulate matter in the flue gas from these units down to level below 50 mg/Nm3, in normal conditions and under guaranteed operating conditions of the boiler and electrostatic precipitator system. This paper presents results of the measurements of particulate matter concentration performed in accordance with standards ISO 9096 and EN 13284-1, immediately after the reconstruction and shortly before the end of the period of about 1 year after the reconstruction, as a part of control and guarantee investigations of the reconstructed electrostatic precipitators of Thermal Power Plant Nikola Tesla B units. In addition, this paper presents re sults of labosatory analysis of the coal samples taken during test, working parameters of the unit and upgraded electrostatic precipitator system during the tests as well as results of the calculations. The results of the measurements confirm that particulate matter concentration in the flue gas from reconstructed electrostatic precipitators fall down below guaranteed values, thus confirming the effectiveness of the reconstructive operations.

AB  - In addition to lime / limestone process, the most common procedure for sulfur-dioxide (SO2) removal from flue gases, separation processes with physical absorption and liquid organic solvent thermal regeneration recently gained importance. Organic liquid solvent selection, ahead of other process parameters, is crucial for process separation efficiency, in terms of the amount of SO2 absorbed by the solvent. The paper presents literature review and analysis of SO2 solubility in currently used and potential liquid organic solvents, polyethylene glycols (PEG 200 and PEG 400), tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as well as their binary mixtures with other components. The solvents in question bind SO2 by physical absorption mechanism, with the exception of NMP which binds SO2 by two parallel mechanisms, physical and chemical absorption. Research have even shown that mixtures of physical and chemical solvents or presence of both absorption mechanisms sometimes show better characteristics regarding binding capacity and selectivity. The importance of ionic liquids, as future solvents for separation processes, is particularly highlighted, due to their favorable thermophysical properties.

AB  - An overview of the current status of low-rank coal upgrading technologies is presented in the paper, particularly with respect to drying and dewatering procedures. In order to calculate the significant parameters of the moisture removal process, a model of convective coal drying in a fluid bed, based on the two-phase (bubbling) fluidization model proposed by Kunii and Levenspiel, is developed and presented. Product-specific data (intraparticle mass transfer, gas-solid moisture equilibrium) related to the particular coal variety addressed here (Kolubara lignite) are obtained through preliminary investigations. Effective thermal conductivity of the packed bed as defined by Zehner/Bauer/Schlunder is used to define heat transfer mechanisms occurring in the suspension phase of the fluid bed. A completely new set of experimental data obtained has been successfully used to validate the model additionally.

Suggested model is based on the percolation theory and Monte Carlo simulation technique. Char particle was modeled as a square lattice consisting of a large number of small sites. Sites correspond either to fixed carbon, ash, or pore, and they were distributed randomly inside char lattice using percolation concept, at the start of simulation. Random walk model was used to represent gaseous species diffusion through particle pores. Char combustion was modeled using power law Arrhenius model which assumes that reaction rate depends of particle temperature and oxygen partial pressure on particle surface. The main aim of the proposed model was to take into account influence of heterogeneous char particle structure to randomness of the char combustion process. The suggested models behavior was validated by qualitative comparison with experimental data obtained in single particle reactor. It was found that simulated combustion time, char burnout and particle temperature values are in good agreement with experimentally determined data. Special emphasis was given to the CO2 gasification reaction influence on char conversion and particle temperature values. Further development of the proposed model with appropriate simplifications would enable its inclusion in comprehensive CFD codes. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
