Description
Summary:This study has been undertaken to provide an insight into the effects of mineral matter distributions in coal on the nature of boiler slags formed during the combustion of a high ash Spanish anthracite. Three density fractions were prepared, and the light and heavy fractions were combined to give a sample containing mainly excluded mineral matter. The mineral matter in the medium density fraction was predominantly included. Slag deposits were prepared in the laboratory from the whole coal, the light+heavy and medium density fractions. The coal with excluded mineral matter was found to produce a slag similar in nature and chemistry to the whole coal ash deposit. The coal with included mineral matter produced a vitreous, iron-rich deposit. The deposits were compared with slags, obtained from a Spanish power station boiler, burning a blend containing the same anthracite.
