This work presents initial results for small scale microwave assisted, low temperature and low pressure conversion of coal to heavy hydrocarbons (pyrolysis oils) in the presence of methane. These heavy hydrocarbons can subsequently be upgraded to liquid transportation fuels, including gasoline, jet, and diesel. Benchmark testing was performed to establish a baseline for the conventional method of...
A novel combustion application utilising waste tyre rubber (WTR) as a secondary fuel in pulverised coal power plants is presented. Co-combustion of a South African coal (SAf) with WTR at the fuel fractions (FFs) 4.1%, 14.1%, and 19.7% along with the pure firing of WTR was conducted in an 80kW th combustion test facility (CTF). This study assessed the potential slagging and fouling behaviour...
Approximately 1 billion waste tyres are generated worldwide each year, with the US producing 300 million and the EU 260 million tyres, representing an enormous waste management problem. At the same time, increasingly stringent emission control targets are being imposed on electric power generating plants. The development of science and technology for clean coal combustion is crucial for a sustainable...
The combustion of coal for power generation will continue to play a major role in the future, however, this must be achieved using cleaner technologies than we use at present. Scrap tyre arisings in the UK are 400,000 tonnes per year amounting to 30 million tyres and in the EU as a whole, more than 2.5 million tonnes of tyres per year are scrapped. The recent EC Waste Landfill Directive (1999) sets...
