Abstract

Ash ingredient of coal are occasionally deposited into heat transfer area and caused the major downtime during the operation of coal gasification plant. To evaluate the propensity of ash fouling, experimental study was conducted in Energy Process Laboratory, Ajou University. Experimental investigation has been conducted with wide range of coal sample (from Lignite up to Bituminous) to determine the ash deposition under coal gasification condition by using drop tube furnace (DTF), in which behavior of coal particle in actual gasification condition can be investigated. The ash particles are deposited onto sample collector by impacting and agglomerating action. Deposit ash samples are collected, weighed, and analyzed to determine the amount and composition of the deposit. Collected samples are further analyzed with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for the compositional analysis of different layers. The deposited samples are also analyzed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Experimental results showed that Na, K compounds contribute to initial deposition. It is also found that Mg, Ca and Fe components are generally considered as dominant components governing the total amount of ash deposition among alkali and alkaline earth minerals. Throughout the theoretical consideration as well as experimental data, several fouling index are developed which can predict the fouling behavior in the gasification environment.
