The composite quasi-liquid fuels made of different industrial waste become more and more attractive for scientists during last years. Coal-water slurry is one of the popular types of such compositions. Addition of the waste petrochemicals into the slurry allows decrease of the ignition delays of such composite for up to 27%. However, it has a non-trivial effect onto the atomization dynamics of the slurry making the size and velocity distributions of the aerosol more stable during propagation of the aerosol cloud. This, in turn, leads to more predictable ignition and combustion of the aerosol.

a ceramic brick was obtained on the basis of waste from the fuel and energy complex: waste of combustible shale -inter-shale clay used as a clay binder and ash-slag material used as a thinning agent and a burnout additive, without the use of natural traditional materials. the linear regression method was used to optimize the composition of ceramic masses and construct model graphs based on the physical and mechanical properties of bricks. the analysis of model graphs is useful both for clarifying the ranges of the state between experiments and for predicting results that were not included in the experiment.

An experimental study of the ignition and combustion processes of coal-water slurry (CWS) droplets based on coal enrichment waste in a high-temperature oxidizer at 650–850 °C with a syngas addition was carried out. The fuel slurry was a mixture of finely dispersed solid combustible particles (coal sludge, 10–100 µm in size) and water. The syngas was a product of biomass pyrolysis and two waste-derived fuels in a laboratory gasifier. Composition of the syngas was controlled by a precision analytical gas analyzer. The feasibility of co-firing CWS with syngas was experimentally established. Under such conditions, the CWS droplets ignition process was intensified by 15–40%, compared to fuel combustion without the addition of syngas to the combustion chamber. The greatest positive effect was achieved by adding the gas obtained during the biomass pyrolysis. The ignition delay times of CWS droplets are 5.2–12.5 s versus 6.1–20.4 s (lower by 15–39%) when ignited in a high-temperature medium without adding syngas to the combustion chamber. Based on the results obtained, a concept for the practical implementation of the CWS combustion technology in a syngas-modified oxidizer medium is proposed.
