Herein, the influence of ash adhesion characteristics on the slagging of Zhundong high-calcium coal (ZDc) has been firstly investigated via a selfdesigned measuring instrument. The results demonstrate that the early appearance and rapid growth in adhesion strength of ZDc ash are the important reasons for its serious slagging in the furnace, and the temperature plays an important role on the adhesion between ZDc ash and metal. From 800 C to 1000 C, the adhesion strength of ZDc gradually increases from 1.858 to 21.725 kPa. Meanwhile, the adhesion strength could increase rapidly due to the production of more liquid phase when the temperature exceeds 1000 C, and the adhesion strength is 184.933 at 1200 C. The calculation results via FactSage software also indicates that molten sulfate is the main component of liquid-phase ash and the enhancement of the CaO content contributes to promote the low-temperature eutectic of gehlenite, etc., thereby enhances the strengthen of the adhesion.
