Abstract:
Various characterization methods are used to investigate the physical and chemical properties of steel plant flying dust and waste oil sludge, and the combustion characteristics of the mixtures with pulverized coal are studied via thermogravimetric analysis; the catalytic combustion mechanism is also explored. The results show that two types of metallurgical by-products with small particle sizes and developed pores are evenly dispersed in the pulverized coal and are stably combined with it. The additives reduce the ignition temperature and the temperature corresponding to the maximum combustion rate of pulverized coal; simultaneously, they increase the heat released during pulverized coal combustion. During the pyrolysis stage of pulverized coal, the heat generated via organic component combustion in waste oil sludge promotes a cracking reaction and improves the development of the char's micropore. During the char combustion stage, no catalyst deactivation phenomenon occurs under the ratios of inorganic components in the two types of metallurgical dust and sludge. Two additives markedly reduce the activation energy of the combustion reaction.
