Ash and chlorine deposition during co-combustion of lignite and a chlorine-rich Canadian peat in a fluidized bed - Effects of blending ratio, moisture content and sulfur addition

► A higher chlorine content in the feed led to higher tendency of ash deposition. ► Peat pellets fuel has higher tendency of ash deposition than lignite. ► 50%Lignite-50%peat blends resulted in the lowest relative ash deposition rate. ► Moisture content of solid fuels played a positive role in reducing ash deposition. ► Adding sulfur into the fuel effectively decreased the chloride deposition.
