Coal is a highly variable fuel, which ranges from high heating-value anthracite through various forms of bituminous coal to intermediates in coal formation, viz. lignite and peat. Each of these types of fuel can contain different levels of moisture, non-combustible inorganic material (ash), sulfur, and sometimes significant levels of other impurities, e.g. arsenic, fluorine, lead and mercury. R...

the present state-of-the-art in gas detection does not allow the precise titration of a combustible gas in air with a single catalytic sensor, because the signal depends also on other parameters than the oxidation of the gas. It is why the catalytic transducers always consist of both a detector and a compensating element. We present here a process which permits the avoidance of the compensating...

Nanosecond surface dielectric barrier discharge (nSDBD) is an efficient tool for a multi-point plasma-assisted ignition of combustible mixtures at elevated pressures. The discharge develops as a set of synchronously propagated from the high-voltage electrode charged channels (streamers), with a typical density up to a few streamers per millimetre of the length of the electrode. In combustible m...

LIBs is a kind of energy storage device, which has the advantages high density, no memory effect, good safety performance, and many cycles; It widely used in scientific technological fields at home abroad. With large-scale increase use lithium-ion batteries, amount scrap also increased. In order to better realize resource recovery, conservation emission reduction, it necessary study series new ...

Energy recovery by waste incineration has a double function as waste treatment method and supplier of electricity and/or heat, thereby linking the systems of energy and waste management. Both systems are undergoing great changes, mainly due to new regulations. Important regulations within waste management in Sweden are a ban on landfill of combustible waste and organic waste, and a tax on landf...
