Study on transformation and enrichment behavior of selenium in particulate matter in combustion flame.

An ethylene/air inverse diffusion flame (IDF) burner was employed to generate a stable flame, and selenium was introduced into the combustion flame in vapor phase under different air-fuel ratio (A/F) with SO2 additive. At different height above burner (HAB) along the flame edge, selenium of different speciation (gaseous selenium and particulate selenium) was sampled via the U.S.

Analysis and discussion on formation and control of primary particulate matter generated from coal-fired power plants.

Particulate matter (PM) has been becoming the principal urban pollutant in many major cities in China, and even all over the world. It is reported that the coal combustion process is one of the main sources of PM in the atmosphere. Therefore, an investigation of formation and emission of fine primary PM in coal combustion was conducted.
