Abstract

High-alkali coal is rich in alkali metals, which can cause serious effects such as slagging and corrosion on the heating surface during combustion and utilization. A portable spectral system was utilized to simultaneously measure gaseous Na concentration and temperature in a 20 kW slag-tapping combustor and a slagging boiler furnace of a 300 MW power generation unit by flame spontaneous emission spectroscopy (FES) for simultaneous measuring. The result shows that both ZD-FK and ZD-HSQ (Fukang coal and Hongshaquan coal, Xinjiang Zhundong high-alkali coal) combustion flame temperatures are around 1400 °C at the outlet of the cyclone burner while the latter is slightly higher. The sodium concentration in the gas phase increases with the rising of the initial combustion temperature and unit load for one kind of coal, and the level of sodium concentration has a strong correlation with the Na content for different coal. Most of the sodium in the high temperature zone of the furnace exists in the form of gas phase, and more sodium migrates to fly ash. Combined with the analysis of fly ash and liquid slag samples, a closed-loop analysis of the Na migration path could be established.
