Item: 0102B064 ISBN: 0-9625985-9-3 This comprehensive new textbook covers recovery boilers in great depth and pulls together information on combustion, safety, emissions, plugging, and corrosion. The book covers fundamental chemical and mechanical engineering principles that bear directly on black liquor and recovery boilers. It contains information about typical values and the normal range of important variables, plus many example calculations, data tables and charts of relevant material properties or constants and conversion factors. Written by a team of industry experts, the text includes a great deal of practical information such as simple tests to pinpoint problems, important observations to help understand issues for a particular operation, and "rules-of-thumb" that are generally used in the industry. This new text was written as a project of AF&PA and published by TAPPI PRESS. Chapter titles include: General Characteristics of Kraft Black Liquor Recovery Boilers Recovery Boiler Chemistry Black Liquor Properties Black Liquor Spray Nozzles Black Liquor Droplet Burning Process Char Bed Process Recovery Boiler Air Supply and Gas Flows Recovery Boiler Air Emissions Upper Furnace Deposition and Plugging Recovery Boiler Corrosion Recovery Boiler Safety Recovery Boiler Design and Control Page 1 of 16
