Combustion of a fuel mixture in a high-temperature cyclone reactor

The results of an experimental study of the combustion of pulverized fuel mixtures in a high-temperature cyclone reactor, a new type of furnace device, are presented. The temperature profiles in the reactor and the composition of the ash residue are shown. Thermograms of the thermolysis of pulverized coal and sawdust, as well as mixtures thereof, are displayed. It was demonstrated that in contrast to the combustion of pulverized coal alone, the combustion of a coal-sawdust mixture yields not only fine ash, but also slag.
