Bull., Series B, Vol. 70, No. 1, 2008 ISSN 1454-2331 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FLY ASH AND SLAG RESULTED FROM PULVERIZED COAL COMBUSTION IN PAROSENI POWER PLANT Mariana MIU GRIGORESCU 1, Cornelia PANAITESCU 2, Charlotte TOMA 3 The fly ash and corresponding slag, formed during pulverized combustion of Valea Jiului energetic bituminous coals and deposited in the close vicinity of power stationi, represent a bulky waste with a strong ecological impact including possible adverse health effects. The big fly ash and slag quantities are, primarily, a consequence of the high content of coal associated mineral matter, that influences the burnout structure and chemical composition. This paper presents the chemical and energetical characteristics of some collected samples of fly ash and slag resulted from Valea Jiului coals combustion in Paroseni power plant. Cenuşile zburătoare şi zgurile corespunzătoare rezultate din procesul de ardere prin pulverizare a huilelor energetice de Valea Jiului reprezintă un deşeu cu un puternic impact ecologic, cu efecte negative asupra stării de sănătate a locuitorilor din vecinatatea termocentraleii. Procentul ridicat de cenuşă este consecinţa cantităţii mari de material mineral asociat cărbunelui care influenţează compoziţia chimică şi structura reziduului solid. În lucrare se prezintă caracteristicile chimice şi energetice ale unor probe de cenuşi şi zguri rezultate din arderea huilelor energetice de Valea Jiului în termocentrala Paroşeni Keywords: pulverized coal combustion, burnout, fly ash, slag, oxidic composition, energetic bituminous coal 1. Introduction The solid burnout quantity generated during pulverized coal combustion has a large variation in volume, chemistry and grain size, depending on parent coal characteristics rank and petrographic composition but also influenced by coal preparation and burning parameters [1.5.7.10.11]. From the pulverized fuel combustion process of Valea Jiului low rank bituminous coals (usually coal blends with a high mineral matter content, between 1 PhD Student, Dept. of Technology for Organic Substances and Polymer Science, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania; 2 Prof., Dept. of Technology for Organic Substances and Polymer Science, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania 3 Eng., SC Prospectiuni SA, Bucharest, Romania

Experimental Grouping the samples according to Table 1 in P 1 +P 2, P 3 +P 4, P 5 +P 6 was made because of their sampling possibility: electrofilter ashes and slag were taken from the collecting sacks and slag extinguishing line; hydraulic ash slag blend, from the burnout deposits. To determine the major- and microconstituents of the fly ash and slag collected samples, there were used analytical methods: plasma emission spectrometry and atomic absorbtion (ICP-AES) using the procedure described in national and international standards. 3. Results and discussion The experimental results regarding chemical composition in oxides and microelements, and their energetical characteristics are given in Tables 1 4. The variation of some interesting factors from scientific and practical viewpoints is presented in Figs. 1 6.

Characteristics of fly ash and slag resulted from pulverized coal combustion 25 Tabel 1 presents oxides composition of the fly ash and slag for 9 types of samples which are representative for the collected material and were taken in three periods of time. These values are used for their energetic characterization given in Tabel 2 and 3. These main characteristics [8.11.12] are expressed by the corresponding (according to Romanian standards) Basicity ratio (R b ): R b = (Fe 2 O 3 +CaO+MgO+Na 2 O+K 2 O) / (SiO 2 +Al 2 O 3 ) (1) Si content (Si): Si= (SiO2) / (SiO 2 +Fe 2 O 3 +CaO+ MgO)x 100, [%] (2) Fusion criterium expresed by the ratio (F c ): F c = (SiO 2 +Al 2 O 3 ) / (Fe 2 O 3 +CaO+MgO) (3) When F c value is < 5, the ash is slightly fusible. Ash fusion critical temperature (T cr ): T cr =2990 1470SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 +360(SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ) 2 14,7(Fe 2 O 3 +CaO+MgO)+ 0,15(Fe 2 O 3 +CaO+MgO) 2, [K] (4) Ash characteristics depend on coal type (rank petrographic composition, associated mineral matter) and burning conditions. The ash resulted types may be grouped in four classes: 1) alumino-silicious, when SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 > 2 and CaO < 15%; 2) silico aluminous, when SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 < 2 and CaO< 15%; 3) sulpho calcic, when CaO >15% and SO 3 > 3%; and 4) calcic, when CaO > 15 % and SO 3 < 3%. [1.3] According to the obtained values, all the fly ash and slag studied samples are classified as acid ones (subunitary basicity ratio) of alumino-silicious type. Concerning the fusibility, expressed by the fusion criterium, it was observed a different behaviour, because of the fact that the oxides groups, that produce critical fusion temperature increase (ex. P 5 +P 6 with SiO 2 =52.88%; Al 2 O 3 =18.12%, SiO 2 / Al 2 O 3 = 2.92). Its knowledge is very important to avoid burning residuum slagging, a process with negative economic effects: decrease of the heating transmission and boiler output as well as of the corresponding equipments safety exploatation. Fig 1 presents Ca, Na, K, Mg, Al and Si oxides influence on ash melting temperature.

The gravity separation of particles produced same differences refering to their chemical composition. This aspect was observed to P 1 +P 2 and P 3 +P 4 (electrofilter ash and corresponding slag), that present similar values for Fe 2 O 3 8.70% 8.16% and 9.24% 9.16%, while the values for samples set P 5 +P 6 are different: % Fe 2 O 3 is higher in the case of ash slag hydraulic blend: 12.94% and 8.22% for ash, respectively 7.11% for slag. Fig. 2 gives the homogeneous repartition of principale oxides (SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 ) for all samples, that confirm the classification criteria of ash chemical types (Table 2): all being of aluminosilica type.

Characteristics of fly ash and slag resulted from pulverized coal combustion 31 From all determined microelements Ba content has the highest values for all six samples. The minimum value is for the ash+slag blend P 5 +P 6 (450 ppm) and the maximum value, for P 1 +P 2 slag (2438 ppm). The high Ba content in Valea Jiului coals is an interesting fact from scientific and practical viewpoints (in respect with the special carbon products properties).

By their distribution on the earth surface and their concentration in industrial areas, they may generate unbalanced fenomena of the natural radioactivity.

Characteristics of fly ash and slag resulted from pulverized coal combustion 33 4.Conclusions During pulverized coal combustion mineral matter is transformed by a complex mechanism and associated fenomena specific to the burning system into ash and slag, that have different chemical and mineralogical composition. The determination of the major and microelements is very important for their use in different energetic processes. Six fly ash and slag samples, collected from Paroşeni power station (special arranged places for combustion residues deposits), have been studied from chemical and energetic viewpoints. The experimental study provided important information regarding the oxides composition of fly ash and slag generated during Valea Jiului coals pulverised combustion, giving the possibility to classify them from energetic criteria. Chemical oxides composition revealed a high content of SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3, that classifies ash and slag samples in the aluminosilicious type, with acid character. The acid ashes can produce major problems to the equipment by chemical corrosion. In the same time the high quantity of very hard mineral matter increases its deterioration degree. Microelements concentration is, practically, the same for all samples, with the exception of Ba, V, Ni, Zn and Sr with higher values; but their recovery is not profitable. Because of the radioactive elements specific chemical character and discreet quantity, the resulted burnout from Valea Jiului coals pulverized combustion, can be used only in small quantity for the materials construction industry, limited to auxiliary buildings. Blended with sand, in suitable proportion, they are used sometimes for cement manufacturing. From the viewpoint of environmental protection it would be recomanded to take corresponding measures, by limiting the fly ashes fine in atmospheric emission, for instance by deposits covering. Chemical and energetical characteristics of the fly ashes and slag resulted during Valea Jiului pulverized combustion in Paroşeni power plant, do not rise special problems for the industrial processing.
