A laboratory study on the NO, NO2, SO2, CO and CO2 emissions from the combustion of pulverized coal, municipal waste plastics and tires
Bonnie Courtemanche, Yiannis A.Levendisa
This is a laboratory study on the combustion emissions from pulverized solid fuels: NOx (NO and NO2), SO2, CO and CO2. Coal, waste tire crumb and waste plastics, such as poly(styrene), poly(ethylene), poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(propylene) and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), were burned in an electrically heated drop-tube furnace at high particle heating rates (104-105 K s−1) and elevated gas temperatures (1300–1600 K).
