Effect of Co-Combustion of Sewage Sludge and Biomass on Emissions and Heavy Metals Behaviour

Extensive investigations on co-combustion were carried out using a 0.5 MW pulverized-coal-fuelled experimental furnace with fuel preparation, accompanied by tests on an electrically heated tube reactor. The following additional fuels were utilized within the framework of various projects: biomass su...

Description
Summary:Extensive investigations on co-combustion were carried out using a 0.5 MW pulverized-coal-fuelled experimental furnace with fuel preparation, accompanied by tests on an electrically heated tube reactor. The following additional fuels were utilized within the framework of various projects: biomass such as wood and straw and sewage sludge. The question in focus in the case of the solid feedstock was at first the necessary fuel preparation. The outcome was that biomass (e.g., straw or wood), compared with coal, allows a clearly coarser milling due to its higher content of volatile matter. While the particles must be
