Solid Fuel Characterisation: Details of the programme
The questions which the workshop aims to answer are the following:
What do we mean by solid fuel characterisation?
What are the available methodologies/ devices for this process?
How can we use the data from characterisation studies for industrial applications?
What kind and amount of data is available in the IFRF archive?
What kinds of relationships is it possible to ascertain from row characterisation data?
What could the structure and content of an IFRF solid fuels’ database be?
The scientific issues raised will include:
– Predicting devolatilisation by structural model (CPD, etc.): what kind of data do I need?
– Evaluating kinetics of char oxidation/gasification in severe conditions; late stages of carbon conversion (carbon in ash); size classes dependent reactivity
– Slagging, fouling, corrosion properties: how can I evaluate them?
– Precursors/fate of micropollutants: how evaluate them?
A preliminary programme has been sketched out below.
