Kotler, V. R. 7cploer1ergzrika (Moscow,), 199h, (5). 47-52. (In Russian) This article concludes, based on analysis of results of industrial test runs of hoilet- firing with pulverized coal and a supplemental fuel (residual fuel oil or natural gas), that the current method for the of NO, concentration in flue gases should he changed. Formulas are derived to calculate NO, concentrations for use of either supplemental fuel. 97101175

Prc\nt\ an evaluation of eastern shale oil (ESO) residue as an asphalt additive to reduce oxidative age-hardening and moisture susceptibility. The ES0 residue was blended with three different petroleum-derived asphalts AAD-I, AAK-I, and AAM-I that are known to he very susceptible to oxidatlve ageing. Rheological and IR analyses of the unaged and aged asphalts and the hlends were then conducted to evaluate oxidative agehardening. In addition, the petroleum-derived asphalts and the blends were coated onto three different aggregates, Lithonia granite, a low-absorption limestone, and a silicious Gulf Coast gravel, and compacted into briquettes. Successive freeze-thaw cycling was then conducted to evaluate the moisture \usceptihility of the prepared briquettes. The rheology analyses of the unaged petroleum-derived asphalts and their respectively hlends indicate that the sample\ satisfy the rutting requirement. Thus, the trend was \uhstantiatcd.

(In Chinese) Presents the results of a study into the factors affecting SO? emission’during fluidired bed combustion of oiJ shale, such as bed temperature, oil shale particle sizes, water content in oil shale, CaiS molar ratio and ash/oil shale wetght ratio. The results show that in the experimental range the primary and \ccondary extent of influence SO: emission by the above factors is in the f~,llowing order of sequence: water content in oil shale > CaiS molar ratio > hed temperature > oil shale size.

Norman, J. S. (‘I ctl. Inst. Energv’s Int. Conf. Comhusr Emiss. Control, Proc. Inst. Etrer~. Cortf., 2n~l, 1995, 109-l 18. Nitrogen species released during gasification processes can result in the formation of NH? and HCN. If fed directly to the gas turbine in a combined-cycle process, a proportion of this can lead to NO, formation. Detailed krnetic calculations investigating the relationship between NH?, HCN. and NO were performed. Two different nitrogen mechanisms were investigated hoth of which predicted NH2 and HCN formation from NO. The applicability of these mechanisms to the relatively low temperature of the gasifier was discussed and methods of controlling NH? addressed.

The feasibility of this method has been examined by the numerical simulation of gas-liquid, two-phase flow with a CO? dissolution model. The performance and cost of the GLAD system are discussed based on a model plant.

Discusses the development of a sandwich aorhent for deep sulfur removal in coal gases. The sorbent is comprised of a combination of a SnO,-based rorhent and a ZnO-based sorhent. With this sorhent a sulfur removal down to a few ppm of H,S can he achieved at temperatures around 4OO‘C. The SnOz acts as a hulk desulfurization agent whereah the ZnO acts as a fine desulfurization agent. The system has been tested using simulated coal gases. During regeneration, all sulfur was recovered.

This study details a method which involves the InJection of zinc or zinc oxide precursors in gas, liquid, or fine powder form into the hot duct work of a coal gasifier exit after fly ash was removed to react with H2S gas. In addition to ZnO sulfidation. a portion of the Zn-based reagents converted to the vapour state in the reducing fuel gas environment, reacts with H2S and forms fine ZnS particles that arc then collected on a high efficiency, high temperature filter. Periodically, the filter i> hackflushed, and spent sorhent is collected in a hopper. removed for regeneration, and returned to the injection system.

The formation of carbon dioxide hydrate in sediment pores almost completely prevents the escape of carbon dioxide.
97101186 Hydrogen transfer from Tetralin and Decalin to high-temperature coal tars. Relation with carbon deposit formation Pajak, J. er al. Fuel Process. Technol.. lY9h, 48. (I), 73-81. Presents a study of pyrolysis of a coal charge containing various quantitiea of water in a two-stage reactor. The rate of formation of solid carbon deposits and some properties of high-temperature tars were investigated. These tars differ in elemental composition and hexane soluhility. Hydrogen acceptor abilities were evaluated. The report concludes that the rate of carbon deposit formation and hydrogen acceptor abilities of tars are different for various quantities of water in the starting coal charge. The relation between the hydrogen transfer properties of tars expressed as the ratio of Decalin hydrogen transfer (DHT) to Tetralin H transfer (THT) and the rate of carbon deposit formation indicates the importance of hydrogen transfer during secondary pyrolysis.
Investigations on the processing of oil vacuum residue and its mixtures with coal and coal tars. Part 2. Hydrogenative upgrading of the liquid products

Tokarska, A. Fuel, 1996, 75, (lo), 1206-1212. This work presents an investigation into hydrogenative upgrading of the liquids resulting from the initial processing of petroleum vacuum residues and their mixtures with coal and coal tars. Physical and chemical characteristics of the products obtained were determined, and the possibility of their use as the source of engine fuels is discussed. The HNMR spectrometry has been found capable of characterizing the structural changes accompanying the process of hydrogenative upgrading.
