Prediction of coal ash fusion temperatures using computational ...
There exists a number of studies, demonstrating that the chemical and mineral composition of the coal ash governs its melting characteristics and fusion temperatures (Gray 1987; Kucukbayrak et al. 1993; Vorres 1979; Vassilev et al. 1995; Winegartner and Rhodes 1975).Since the composition of the ash influences the AFT magnitudes and, thereby, performance of a coalbased process, it is essential ...
