This paperfocuses on three types of fly ash (flue gas desulfurization (FGD) residuals, atmospheric fluidizedbed combustion (AFBC) residuals and sorbent duct injection (SDI) residuals) which produced by 'theclean combustion' and post-combustion technologies. The residuals formed by FGD are PCFA (pulverizedcoal fly ash) grains entrained with reacted and unre-acted sorbent and have lower bulk densitiesthan PCFA grains because it contains higher concentrations of calcium and sulfur, and lowerconcentrations of silicon, aluminum and iron than PCFAs. AFBC residuals consist of spent bed whichis a heterogeneous mixture of coarse-grained bed material and irregularly shaped, unfused, sphericalPCFAs. The main crystalline phases in AFBC residuals are anhydrite (reacted sorbent), quartz andlime (unreacted sobent), calcite, hematite, periclase, magnetite and feldspars. The residualsproduced by SDI contained 65 percent-70 percent PCFA with the larger sizes material beingirregularly shaped, fused or rough-edged. The reaction products of sorbent (portlandite and lime)included calcium sulfate (anhydrite) and calcium sulfate. The chemical properties of these residualsare similar to those of high calcium PCFAs because of the high alkalinity and high pH of theseresiduals.展开更多

Collected deposit samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy linked with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis （SEM-EDX）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and X-ray Fluorescence （XRF） to acquire the microstructure, chemical composition, and mineralogy. The deposit thickness of three blends was analyzed between their parent coal A （Datong） and coal B （Shan）, and we noted that the time to reach a stable stage decreased with the ratio of coal B. The addition of coal A into coal B could remarkably restrained the growth and thickness of ash deposits. The results of XRD analysis indicated the initial layer was predominantly comprised of the crystalline minerals quartz, anorthite, or albite except for coal B. All of the blends and coals contained quartz and Ca- to Al-silicates （Ca0.68Na0.32）（All.68Si0.32）Si2O8 in the slag layer where iron-bearing minerals （e.g., ilvaite） were altered into an amorphous phase. The result of SEM-EDX suggested that there was an elemental disparity between the coal ash and deposit.展开更多
