T1 COMBUSTION OF AROMATICS AND ESTERS IN AN ATMOSPHERIC BUBBLING FLUIDIZED BED COMBUSTOR, IN COMPARISON WITH THAT OF NATURAL GAS JF International Journal of Energy for a Clean Environment JO IJECE YR 2005 FD 2005-06-07 VO 6 IS 2 SP 113 OP 123 AB The gas mixture was prepared by vaporization of liquids in hot air and burned in a laboratory-sized fluidized bed reactor. The test fuels were benzene, toluene, m-xylene, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and ethyl formate. Fuel conversion degree was assessed in terms of CO and VOCs concentrations; [NO] and [NO2] were also measured. Pollutants were highest when used. Liquid organic substances can be effectively burned in fluidized beds and the flue gases can in most cases be cleaner than with the methane. The best results are obtained if the combustion is flameless, i.e., takes place entirely inside the bed.
