The proceedings of TOTeM 39 – Oxy Coal Combustion have been published on the IFRF website and are available for perusal and download by IFRF Members.

As part of the EC co-funded RELCOM Project, IFRF organised an Oxy-coal Combustion TOTeM on June 18th and 19th 2013 on the premises of ENEL Research and Engineering in Pisa.

Keynote speakers at the two day event included Lars Strömberg of Chalmers University, Sweden who also chaired the proceedings, and Stanley Santos from IEA GHG.  Invited presentations from specialists within the RELCOM team were complemented by input from four external speakers, Phil Smith of the University of Utah, Osvalda Senneca of CNR Naples, Klas Andersson of Chalmers University, and Flemming Frandsen of DTU.

Topics included:

• Flame ignition and stabilisation
• Heterogeneous phenomena in oxy/coal combustion
• Radiation and heat transfer modelling
• Coal characterisation in oxy/RFG
• Ash and Heavy Metals
• Explosion issues in Oxy-Coal Systems
• High Temperature Corrosion

Following the presentations, the meeting Chairman facilitated a panel discussion on Research needs for Oxy-coal Combustion.
