The 1 MW experimental stand was modernized with a scroll swirler and a crushed fuel supply system. Comparative data on combustion and gasification of coal fuel crushed in high-stress mills - disintegrator, vibrocentrifugal and hammer mill - at a stand with a thermal power of 1 MW were obtained. The experiments used coal of the Kuznetsk Basin, grade D, with technical characteristics: W r , % = 5.4; A r , %=22.3; V r , % = 32.3; Q sr , MJ/kg = 20.0. Elemental analysis showed that: C r , %=54.6; H r , % = 4.1; N r , % = 1.3; S r , % = 0.5; O r = 11.8. In experiments with grinding coal on a disintegrator mill, the value of H 2 = 4.5 vol.% and CO = 9.4 vol.%, when grinding in a vibro-centrifugal mill, the values of H 2 = 0.6 vol.% and CO = 5.8 vol.%, when grinding in a hammer mill, the values of H 2 = 0.3 vol.% and CO = 2.8 vol.%. When studying the combustion of mechanochemically treated coal samples, it was found that, all other things being equal, the gasification parameters, namely, the gas concentration and the distribution of temperature zones, depend strongly on the type of equipment used for processing. In particular, processing to approximately the same degree of fineness in mechanical mills-activators with constrained impact and in free impact mills (disintegrators) resulted in different flame parameters.
