Fluidized bed co-combustion of carbon-containing material from ash dumps at anthracite thermal power plants with sludge

Abstract

The use of carbon-containing material from ash dumps at anthracite thermal power plants to extend the fuel base of thermal power plants in Ukraine is validated. The resources in ash dumps at anthracite thermal power plants and the distribution of unburnt carbon in them are described, results of test firing agglomerate mixtures of material from ash dumps with sludge in a circulating fluidized bed are presented, and recommendations are given for its preparation as fuel.
