Abstract
Three types of coal with the different melting temperature and ash content were burned under the condition of high-temperature air pulverized coal reaction. A water-cooled tube was inserted into the furnace to make the ash adhere. Particle size and composition distributions of ash particles in both reacting coal particles and depositing layer were analyzed, using a Computer Controlled Scanning Electron Microscope, to study the deposition behaviors of ash particles. As a result, quantity of the ash deposition on the tube surface increases with a decrease of the melting temperature of coal ash. Index of fraction of the ash deposition depended on the coal type. For structure of the deposit layer, fine particles of size less than 3 μm mainly consisted of the initial layer for three types of coal, and the thickness was about 30 μm. Deposition of fine particulates of about 3 μm became a trigger of initial deposition at the stagnation point of tube even if irrespective of coal type is burned. The chemical compositions of ash particles in the reacting particles differed from those in the initial deposition layer. The deposition phenomenon relates to the particle size distribution of ash formed, the flow dynamics surrounding the probe, the chemical compositions in each ash particle and so forth.
